The sessions balance phonics work with reading practice and writing simple sentences.There was a good variety of materials, both for classwork and homework. The instructors are very supportive and encouraging."See more

Meshen W. says, "Nancy is one of the best English teachers I’ve ever met. She is very experienced, patient, and approachable. During our lessons, she helps correct my grammar and pronunciation in real time, which has been extremely helpful. Over the past two months, I’ve been taking lessons with her two to three times a week. I can clearly feel that my confidence in speaking English has improved a lot, especially in my professional field. If you’re looking for an English teacher, I highly recommend Nancy. At this point, our relationship feels more like friends who have built a great connection, which also makes the learning process more enjoyable and comfortable."See more

Sophie C. says, "I have been learning English for many years, and I consider myself a very advanced learner. I have a rich vocabulary and a deep sense of life in the United States. However, I still had difficulty expressing myself at the level of a native American speaker, especially when it came to my accent. During eight months in Prof. Alex’s American Accent program, I made incredible progress. The mechanical training of sounds, intonation, and accent patterns was very important and helped me understand how to position my tongue and produce the correct sounds. This technical part of the training built a strong foundation for my accent development. But what made this program truly unique was Prof. Alex’s knowledge of psychology and psycholinguistics. Whenever I felt that a sound was not good enough, or when I could not clearly hear or feel the difference, he guided me through reflection. He helped me understand how the sound felt from my perspective and how it should sound to the American ear. This reflective process helped me move forward and develop a deeper connection with the language. As a native Spanish speaker, I always felt that the culture of speaking Spanish is very different from the culture of speaking in an American accent. At times, I was even afraid that by developing my American accent, I might lose a part of my Spanish cultural identity. However, Prof. Alex helped me understand something very powerful: both cultures are important, and having both makes you a stronger and more complete person. This idea made me feel safe, secure, and confident during the entire program. Because of this approach, I did not only improve my accent — I also transformed the way I see myself as a speaker of English. Today I often receive compliments from people who say my accent sounds very natural and close to native. More importantly, I feel that the language truly belongs to me, and I feel comfortable expressing myself in American culture while still keeping my Spanish identity. I am deeply grateful for this experience and would highly recommend Prof. Alex’s American Accent program to anyone who truly wants to transform their speech and confidence."See more

Funke O. says, "Mandy taught my daughter for 5 years, 2019 to 2023. She was so dedicated to her learning, always looking for resources and methods to help advance her learning. My daughter started elementary school with some learning challenges but Mandy was very patient and dedicated to her learning. Because of all that extra support she received, she's a pretty independent middle schooler today."See more

Thelma B. says, "I can't express how thankful I am for finding Leslie! COVID, distance learning, and working-from-home were HUGE challenges for me and my family. Like a god-send Leslie has assessed my daughter, structured lessons from where my daughter is to where she should be, and used her own time to create tools and resources for me to use in-between sessions. Leslie is the WHOLE package! She's returned my faith in that my child can catch up where she's falling behind and even excel. Thank you."See more
