I haven't met you yet but I hope that I will soon. I thought it would be better if Oliver gave the feedback and this is what he said:
Friendly and responsive overall, Samantha answers every question and addresses any problems regardless of relevance to the task at hand.
Oliver says that he is learning more German and that his confidence is improving which is why he wanted a German tutor, so thank you.
