Dear James,

I would like to thank you a lot for all your useful advice and mental support during our preparation course for the CAE exam. It was a pleasure for me to attend your course because of your professional as well as friendly approach. I really think I have both learned a lot and enjoyed the course. You know I was very afraid of the exam but with all your help I was able to pass at grade A which is more than I could ever have expected. I will always recommend you as a teacher or British Council to anyone who might ask me for my opinion and I really look forward to taking another course at British Council soon (probably some conversation course in term 2 or 3). I hope to see you there...

Yours sincerely,

Lenka Karpatova
