"A friendly, jovial persona, who establishes excellent rapport with his students and peers, primarily by means of his humorous nature. Louis does not teach English as a set of rules, but rather with a holistic understanding of the English-speaking world. As such, he incorporates English and Western customs into the teaching process, making students aware of some of the pitfalls and social dangers that they could encounter in Western societies."
