Abishek A. says, "I worked with prof. Alex for about 9 months in total, and I did sessions twice a week. He has a very structured and well-organized accent training program that actually works! Honestly, I speak very close to a native level now. I evaluated my recordings with AI after I finished the training. I had both a baseline recording and a final recording after completing my accent training with Alex. You can find my before-and-after recordings on Prof. Alex’s website. Here is what ChatGPT told me when comparing my recordings: BEFORE: 62/100 at start → AFTER: 84/100 after completing the accent program Transformation: +22 points It has been 2 years since I graduated from Prof. Alex’s Accent Reduction Program, and I actually speak even better now than I sound in that recording! Prof. Alex is truly talented, an amazing person, and very professional. He can make such a big difference in the way you speak English. He can help you get very close to American pronunciation, but most importantly, it’s not only about sounding native. It’s about having the confidence to speak English without hesitation and without overthinking every word. My freedom in speaking English really happened because of Prof. Alex! I’m very grateful for everything he taught me."See more

Arielle G. says, "I am absolutely thrilled with the progress my son has made in reading since he started tutoring with Special Kare Tutoring in February. My son was struggling to read and I was concerned, with him moving up to 3rd grade so I decided to get extra help. From the very first session, it was clear that Halle has a genuine passion for teaching and a wonderful ability to connect with children. The lessons are engaging and tailored to my son's individual needs, which has made learning fun for him. I've seen a noticeable improvement in his reading skills and confidence. He looks forward to each session and is excited to share what he’s learned. I can't recommend Halle enough! If you're looking for an effective, patient, and inspiring tutor, you won't be disappointed. Thank you for making such a positive impact on my son's education!"See more

Caylee Livingston caylee.livingston says, "Amy has been tutoring my 7 year old son for the last 5 months and the progress he has made is unbelievable. When he first began his lessons he didn't care to read at all, in fact he avoided it, and he really struggled. Since having these one-on-one lessons with Amy his confidence has grown and he is actually reading and enjoying it. He has learned so much in such a short time.The zoom lessons make it so convenient for me since we don't have to leave our home. I appreciate that Amy jumps right into the lessons and is very efficient with her time, yet she has still connected with my son and built a relationship. He trusts her and really enjoys the lessons.Amy stepped in when we didn't know how else to help our son with his reading. She is patient, kind and an excellent reading teacher. I would absolutely recommend Amy to anyone who is thinking about a tutor. It is well worth the time and money spent."See more
