He spent the PERFECT amount of time in each place, none too short and none too long. Even when people asked him questions that came out of nowhere, he always had great answers. After our free time, he would always come over to each of us individually and asked if we enjoyed ourselves and how we were doing. I cannot recommend him enough.”
