Shrod says, "Travis is an excellent ESL tutor. I am an adult learner, and before working with him I felt shy and unsure about my speaking. Travis explains everything clearly and patiently, and he always makes me feel comfortable to practice. My confidence has grown a lot in only a few lessons. He prepares materials that match my goals and helps me with pronunciation, vocabulary, and conversation for my job. I really appreciate his support and highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their English."See more

Reyna D. says, "A Truly Exceptional Tutor We’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Mandy for many years, from my daughter’s early days in elementary school all the way through high school, and I can confidently say that she has been an incredible part of my daughter’s academic journey. From the beginning, Mandy showed patience, dedication, and a genuine passion for helping students succeed. She has an amazing ability to explain concepts clearly, adapt her teaching style to my daughter’s needs, and make learning both engaging and enjoyable. Over the years, I have watched my daughter grow in confidence, develop stronger study habits, and achieve goals she once thought were out of reach — and so much of that progress is thanks to the support and encouragement she received during her sessions. What truly sets Mandy apart is her consistency and commitment. She celebrates my daughter’s strengths while helping her overcome challenges, always showing kindness and professionalism. As a parent, it has been incredibly reassuring to know my daughter has someone in her corner who genuinely cares about her success. I am deeply grateful for everything Mandy has done. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Any student would be lucky to learn from her."See more

YOU CAN TEACH a 4-7-YEAR-OLD TO READ AND I CAN HELP YOU! Three Types of Adult Support I Provide for Teaching Young Children: 1. Private coaching for parents or teachers, on an hourly basis on Zoom or in your home in the Seattle area ($60 per hour) 2. In-home consultations for parents where I can help you set up a nurturing and effective learning environment for your child ($100 per hour in the Seattle area *) 3. Seminars for parents, teachers, families, communities, churches, homeschool groups, PTAs, and friends who CAN teach 4-7-year-old children. Learn to read in a step by step, systematic, simple way! ($200 per hour) To be successful, parents and educators will find it invaluable to know: • How children learn • That 0-6-year-olds have an absorbent mind *, through which they effortlessly absorb information • That children love to learn • That there is a dependable, step by step reading sequence to follow that can empower anyone to teach • How to use hands-on reading materials that are like a series of card games so that children can almost teach themselves to read. See that these materials are tailored to the needs of young children • How to establish simple routines at home or school of 10-15 minutes per day where practicing or “playing with the materials” enables children to successfully read! • It is not difficult for most children to learn to read if they have the right tools and adults who understand a simple sequence. As a Montessori teacher with 25+ years' experience teaching reading and writing to children 4-7 years old, including my own six children, I am passionate about showing adults how they CAN teach children to read. Let’s start a revolution in learning! What I offer to Parents, Teachers, and All Who Would Support Children: 1. I provide private consultations and seminars for parents and teachers. If this is done in connection with tutoring, it will maximize the tutoring opportunity for children. Parents will be more conscious of developmental needs and will be more engaged. They can better understand and so support the child's efforts with hands-on reading materials. Simple feedback and demonstrations to you as your child is learning can be a great help. 2. I also provide seminars in which I communicate all of the above in further detail about how children learn and also lay out a clear sequence of how to teach reading. This can be step by step training for parents, teachers, and others! I use power points and other presentation materials to give detailed instructions about how to teach. I demonstrate the use of the materials and make recommendations. Understand how children learn and how to ensure the building of a successful reading foundation. *Please note I charge transportation fee of $1.00 per mile for transportation.See more

Pat G. says, "Oh, I just had to share this because my heart is so full! We feel like we’ve found a total diamond in the rough with Mrs. Gabby. I originally reached out to her for a family member, but I’ve had the absolute pleasure of sitting in on a few lessons myself—and wow, what a joy it is to watch her work! You can just feel how much she truly loves what she does; her devotion to her students is so genuine and warm. She has this incredible way of making everything so easy to understand. The lessons are fun, interactive, and held in such a cozy, relaxed environment that feels nothing like a stiff classroom. My family member literally counts down the days until their weekly lesson! We feel beyond lucky to have found her. She is a true gift to the English teaching community, and I honestly wish everyone could experience the magic of learning with her!"See more

My first student was my severely dyslexic sister who was in 8th grade reading at 1st grade level. For years teachers told me she needed to read more and she was eventually catch up. Nothing worked until I found the Orton-Gillingham method. Not only is she able to read now but she is addicted to a series of novels! I am trained and certified in the Barton System which one of the most comprehensive Orton-Gillingham based programs. The Orton-Gillingham method is the golden standard in teaching reading to children and adults with dyslexia. I have taken Lindamood-Bell's Lips training workshop on phonemic awareness for my most severely dyslexic students. I have also taken Susan Barton's 6-day graduate level Screening for Dyslexia seminar. In addition to my O.G.-based training, I have taken countless Linguistics and Structured Word Inquiry courses to expose my students to a scientific approach to orthography. Every word has a story and meaningful reasons for the way it is spelled, even so-called "sight words!" Using SWI, students use critical thinking, expand their vocabulary, and improve reading comprehension. Signs of Dyslexia: - Terrible spelling (Number 1 sign of Dyslexia) - Unable to sound out unknown words or nonsense words - Unable to retain spelling words from spelling tests - Slow choppy reading - Relies on context clues when reading - Makes guesses when reading I tutor all students (ages 6 to adult) online using a screen sharing software. My hourly rate applies to 55-minute sessions. I look forward to hearing from you!See more

$150/hour | American Accent Program
$150/hour | American Accent Program
I have been working with Alex for about two months, and I think that being trained by Prof. Alex is a privilege by all means! I was on a wait list for about two months, but it was worth it. My friend was trained by Alex and he recommended his program to me. I took my first orientation (trial) class with Prof. Alex immediately because I hear the amazing result that Alex did to my friend. My friend’s speech is totally different from what it used to be!!! Way different! He speaks very American (Americanized) now and that is because of Alex’s effort and hard work. Alex uses a unique technique called 2D Sound Motion Technology that helps me understand each American sound correctly! It shows me all the tongue movements in detail and then I repeat them – as a result, I speak with an American sound then I practice them with the phonetic exercises and practice sentences with Alex in class, receiving valuable feedback on my mistakes and changing them in session! That is an innovative and well-organized program with 2D technology! Alex is also an expert in psycholinguistics and language education, which is so important for me because I want to learn effectively, not just repeat a random text after a teacher. I think that the knowledge of psycholinguistics is crucial because speaking a second language is different from speaking English and Alex knows how to help people like us. It feels like he knows your challenges and he is always ready to help! I overcame so many things like my past doubts about my second language, and many more! Alex is an amazing person and a top professional! All sessions with him are superb, knowledgeable, and he provides so much feedback on how to pronounce American sounds that I know I will never fail in my learning! He is a great motivator, leader, and influencer! The program has everything I need to practice and succeed in my accent reduction! I already see a change in my speaking, and I am ready to finish it!
