Paul said: Hani is a great and committed teacher and makes us feel comfortable in class even when we make mistakes. He also makes us accountable for doing our homework by rotating the homework questions amongst the participants. He adds a lot of value explaining the grammatical rules beyond the vocabulary that the text book focuses on. I am looking forward to the Level 3 course.
