Leo L. says, "I’ve been tutoring with Carol for over a year. I had a lot of catching up to do in school, but she helped me with my reading and writing so that this year I was able to start college. I’m getting A’s in my American History class that requires a lot of writing. I like how our tutoring sessions go - I’m learning something new all the time. Carol is very nice and easy to get along with and she picks out interesting readings that make me think. She is good at helping you figure out what you need to do to achieve your goals. I’ve learned a lot and gained confidence in the time I’ve been tutoring with her."See more

Celine F. says, "As a French speaker with a previously heavy accent, I was initially skeptical about the effectiveness of accent reduction programs. However, my experience with Prof. Alex’s American Accent Training has been nothing short of transformative. The 2D Sound Motion Technology used in the program is a GAME-CHANGER; it allowed me to see the precise positioning of my speech organs and understand how to pronounce the American sounds correctly. The methodology is simple: you follow sound by sound approach like in the translators and interpreters' courses which is HIGH LEVEL OF EDUCATION and the MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO SUCCEED! For example, the French “r” sound is quite guttural, while the American “r” is more fluid and frontal. Prof. Alex’s technology made this distinction crystal clear, and I could practice until my muscle memory adapted. The “th” sound, which doesn’t exist in French, was another hurdle. With the visual aid of the 2D Sound Motion, I could repeatedly observe and correct my tongue’s placement until it felt natural and fluent. I love how I sound now and I feel that these sounds are all the way "belong" to me. It feels very natural like in my native language! Prof. Alex’s expertise and the innovative technology he employs have significantly diminished my accent, making my English sound more authentic and comprehensible. It is very close to American Accent. People start asking me what state i came from! His methodical approach, coupled with the cutting-edge technology, provided a structured path to accent mastery. I highly recommend this program to anyone serious about accent reduction; it requires dedication, but the results are well worth the effort. Alex, you are the best American Accent Coach I have ever worked with! Thanks a lot for being for me!"See more

Reading and Writing Tutoring

Tomoko H. says, "Name: Tomoko Hoshi My 9 years old son sees Theo every week for the past three months to improve his reading skill. It was too hard for me (non-native) to teach my son because he thinks he's not good at reading and his reading is painstakingly slow and that frustrates him. Theo is quite an amazing teacher. I do wonder how much time he takes outside his one-on-one teaching time to be always so fully prepared. He's someone who has a keen interest in how a child's mind works in learning, what motivates him, and how can a tutor help the child to overcome his weakness. It seems there's no idle conversation between the tutor and the learner; Theo is constantly analyzing my son's English output and seeking pattern in his mistakes while not forgetting to give positive feedbacks for his small victories. We're very happy with Theo and highly recommend him as a tutor. ~Tomoko"See more
