Koda A. says, "Prof. Alex is a true professional and an absolute game-changer. He is genuinely changing people’s lives—and he changed mine. Because of Prof. Alex, I was able to improve my accent, my speech, and ultimately land a great job. People no longer ask me about my accent—I sound American now. That alone is life-changing. I committed to the American Accent Program for about 9 months, and during that time I learned (and relearned) how to pronounce every individual sound in American English. Let me tell you—sounding American takes real work, but this program shows you exactly how to do it the right way. We worked on each American sound using structured training patterns, starting with pronunciation exercises and progressing to paragraph-level practice. Everything is designed using speech-pathology-based methods, which makes it incredibly effective. This isn’t guessing or memorizing—it’s real, professional training. After you master the sounds and intonation patterns, your speech improves dramatically. You don’t just sound better—you speak with confidence and fluency. I am deeply grateful to Prof. Alex for supporting and guiding me through a very challenging time in my life. He is not only an outstanding professor, but also an amazing person. He was supportive, motivating, and encouraging in every single session. Hands down, the best accent coach in the U.S. 🇺🇸🔥"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

Reviews for Chicago english tutors on Thumbtack

From Dan M.

Marina
Marina
She did a great job on tutoring my wife in academic English. We can only recommend her. She is not a nativ borne, however her language is more sophisticated, than if she were. Maybe that's also why she is so good at teaching. She was the best tutor we have had. Thanks again
