Carlos D. says, ""I met Prof. Alex at ACC when I came to the US. I needed to improve my grammar and speaking skills, and Prof. Alex was a great help! I learned so much from term to term. I joined Alex’s American Accent Program several months ago, and I loved it a lot! Working on my American accent is very important to me because it allows me to easily understand my co-workers and friends. Alex is a talented professional who knows how to teach accent reduction. He explains all the movements of my speech organs and identifies mistakes in my pronunciation. What's priceless is that he gives me feedback on how to move my organs correctly to sound American! Sometimes, it is difficult to understand, and when I do not understand, he shows me 2D Sound Motion, and I EASILY get it! Not only is he a great professor, but he is also an amazing mentor and leader. I share his ideas of a positive teaching philosophy and his attitude toward life. He knows how to teach students and explain the most difficult language situations to them. I have been learning American pronunciation for quite some time, and it has been an excellent experience. I started to hear sounds of American English I had never heard before. My listening skills have improved, and I no longer ask people to repeat what they told me. I started to enjoy watching movies without translating from Spanish into English, among many other benefits I am learning! Alex developed the American Accent Program that includes many phonetic exercises and practice sentences to train how to speak American English. All exercises are supported by an audio course that Alex enrolled me in. I like his Learning Management Platform because I have all my materials in one place, organized and structured for me to keep practicing. I recommend Alex’s American Accent Program to everyone who wants to speak English confidently and fluently! You will love to work with him! Alex, you are the best!""See more

Laurel D. says, "I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Talis when she was employed as a Reading Recovery teacher, supporting her work in the Palmer, Monson, and Easthampton Public Schools’ Reading Recovery Programs. Elisabeth and I have also been personal friends for over thirty years. I found Elisabeth’s work in Reading Recovery to be consistently reflective and thorough. She exemplifies the Reading Recovery philosophy of looking to one’s own teaching in order to support children’s accelerated progress in reading and writing. Throughout the years, Elisabeth has engaged in in-depth analysis of her own teaching and lesson records in order to ensure that she was doing all that was possible to help the emerging readers and writers with whom she was working. She recognizes situations in which additional help is needed and calls upon both colleagues and myself, in my role as Teacher Leader, to help problem-solve the more difficult students. Elisabeth is also extraordinarily attuned to the rich diversity that her students demonstrate in ethnic background, family configuration, and other socioeconomic factors. She truly values each learner and communicates this to the children through her consistently high expectations and attention to each learner as an individual. This makes her an exceptionally strong teacher of students who are learning English. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to observe Elisabeth in her work with colleagues during the monthly meetings of trained Reading Recovery teachers. In this setting, Elisabeth is always professional in her interactions with peers - she is able to comment on strengths in others, as well as to provide helpful comments in a manner that her colleagues find both informative and positive. Any organization would be fortunate to have Elisabeth join them. She is a pleasure to have in the field of Education, and an asset to the students with whom she works."See more
