Lois is a very professional and considerate tutor. She is helping my writing skill and accent. In addition, she has a producer background and share her knowledge and expertise. She teaches me the entertainment business cultures and how to be a strong female producer in US. She is not just an English teacher. She loves to motivate and inspire her students. I highly recommend her.

Lois is a very professional, knowledgeable and punctual teacher, I improved a lot in my English pronunciation and vocabulary with her. In the meantime, She also gave me many important information of American life and American culture. It is my honor to have her as my English ESL tutor. Thank you!

I learned more than writing. Also, I enjoy spending time with Lois because I learn so many things that I never came across before. She makes things understandable and easy to digest. I can see the things we talk about in everyday life and value the things I learn. I get to apply what I learn with Lois since it is very simple to use.
