Lucy J. says, "I am very impressed how Prof. Alex polished my accent, and I am extremely thankful for Prof. Alex’s mentorship and teaching. He is truly the best! Speaking English was very difficult for me, and I always doubted my speaking skills, thinking I wasn’t good enough. However, after completing the American Accent program with Prof. Alex, my English improved dramatically, and I feel so proud of myself. I speak very close to a native American accent—and that is more than enough. I’ve stopped overthinking how I speak, and now I can comfortably participate in conversations at work, with my family, and with friends. I watch movies and shows and understand everything—and trust me, Alex taught me how to do that! That’s a skill worth learning. Thank you so much, Prof. Alex. Nobody was able to do what you did! You are truly exceptional. I also want to mention the price because it’s important to understand: they say, “You get what you pay for,” and it’s true. I tried coaches charging $25 or $50, thinking it would help—but it didn’t. Prof. Alex isn’t cheap, but he is absolutely WORTH IT!"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

Nate Kap says, "This tutoring centre is the best. I did AP Precalculus and AP calculus AB/BC tutoring here and got a 5 on my AP exam for both subjects!! I was initially very skeptical about online tutoring, but Spark Learn has it down to a science. Their online classes are 100 times better than any in person tutoring that you will ever find. It has the best teachers who really do care about your progress. The teachers are so good at explaining the concepts and making them easier to understand. You can tell they have been teaching for a long time with the clarity they explain difficult concepts with. The support team is very helpful all the time, scheduling is fast and easy with no delays, and you can reschedule classes very easily, and if you ever have an emergency they will let you cancel your lesson and reschedule for another day. They really make it so convenient for students who attend a lot of extracurricular activities and play sports. I highly recommend signing up!!!"See more
