Ian Sato (He/Him)

Adrian has a strong customer- or learner-oriented mindset which led to notably high customer satisfaction. He was able to navigate ambiguous circumstances and find efficient solutions to problems, while maintaining his basic work. As a teacher, he was passionate about helping the students not only to build language foundations but also to learn about intercultural communication and business skills. I’d happily work with Adrian again.
