"Hey, so far, I’d say Daniel's lesson was quite good. I appreciated that he recognized my errors and corrected them without fuss. Though I’d like more correction and rally practice next time, I still felt it was pretty helpful overall. Honestly, it’s rare to find someone who can really spot those mistakes effectively. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for tailored guidance and clear feedback.
