Akash G. says, "I have been practicing my American accent with Prof. Alex for 2 months, and Prof. Alex and his American accent program are exceptional! It is based on a scientific approach to learning how to speak each individual American sound in a variety of drills that Prof. Alex provides. What I like the most is the 2D sound motions, where I can see how I have to move my tongue and speech organs to pronounce American sounds correctly! It gives me the opportunity to understand how American sounds are different from my native language and finally practice them correctly under the supervision of Prof. Alex, who gives absolutely honest, detailed feedback. That’s what I always wanted to get. He doesn’t cuddle me in our sessions and really puts my speaking drills to work. I love working with Prof. Alex because he is professional, innovative, and exceptional, and truly cares about my success. This program has its own app called InPronunci, and Alex gives me a lot of homework in that app. The benefit of InPronunci is that it has an AI accent coach that works like Prof. Alex in our sessions and helps me catch my mistakes. It is a super useful tool when I am not in a session with Prof. Alex. I am very thankful to Prof. Alex. I wish I had him when I learned English at school!"See more

Olivia C. says, "This company is a Godsend! We were paired with Coach Alex who helped our son work on basic computer skills including typing. Our boy has mild cerebral palsy so writing has been a challenge and it was recommended to learn how to type and navigate a computer. He has learned so much over the course of 20 lessons and we look forward to continued progress"See more

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

English Lesson Cafe is a great tutor and I would recommend for anyone. He is very patient — which anyone that takes a language needs – and it’s very comfortable to practice conversations, which is also a huge plus. I recommend him highly. manner of teaching is so wonderful and refreshing!! He’s patient and supportive, but really knows how to motivate a student. He’s great at building confidence and keeping lessons fun and engaging through a variety of activities that improve conversation, speaking and reading skills. I am very happy that I have you and thank you for your help!!!
