Grant N. says, "Prof. Alex works professionally and responsibly. My English speaking has improved after 2 months of working with him. I know there is still more to do, but I am so excited to let people know that you don't need to struggle with your speech or learn forever. In the orientation session I had, I thought it would take forever, but Professor explained to me what it takes to improve my speaking abilities. He is a professional linguist who knows his stuff. He trains my speaking patterns really well! In every session, I feel my speaking confidence goes above and beyond. My American accent improves, and people don't ask me to repeat myself or say "Huh?" to me all the time anymore. It is real—you can improve your speaking. You just need to know with whom you do that, because not everyone here is a professional linguist with a Ph.D. and 20 years of travel and teaching experience. Prof. Alex is very unique. He is very innovative, which means I have access to his interactive 2D technology where I can train the correct pronunciation of every American sound, and that really improves the quality of my speech! He has developed a great structured accent program, from speaking drills to actually public speaking. It is a very worthy program and the best I have had a chance to educate myself with! I strongly recommend Prof. Alex and his American Accent Coaching! He is the TOP PRO!"See more

Lisa Y. says, "After recently spending 6 months in France, I returned to NY with a passion and commitment to continue improving my French. I enrolled in Alliance Francaise, and despite my efforts, I was finding it difficult to apply the rote grammar learning to real-time, everyday French conversation. So, I decided to find a tutor to help fill the gaps. What I like abut Carolyn is that she adapts her training to meet your needs. We have found the right balance of grammar lessons, listening exercising, and speaking corrections. She doesn't adapt a one size fits all approach, and it works. "See more

Samrat N. says, "Learning a new language as an adult can feel intimidating, but meeting Nancy has made my Italian learning journey one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experiences I've had. From our very first lesson, she created an environment where I felt comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and learning at my own pace. Her patience, kindness, and genuine encouragement have given me the confidence to keep improving every week. She has an incredible ability to make every lesson engaging, fun, and something I genuinely look forward to. What truly sets Nancy apart is not only her knowledge of the Italian language, but the way she teaches it. She has a rare gift for making complex concepts feel simple and natural. Every lesson is filled with positive energy, laughter, and meaningful conversations that make learning feel effortless rather than like studying. One quality I appreciate deeply is her flexibility and understanding. Life doesn't always go according to plan, and whenever I've needed to adjust my schedule, Nancy has always been incredibly accommodating. That level of care and professionalism is something you don't often find. Over time, Nancy has become much more than just my Italian teacher. She has become a mentor who inspires me to continue learning, growing, and embracing the beauty of the Italian language and culture. Every class leaves me feeling more confident and more excited for the next one. If you're looking for an Italian teacher who is knowledgeable, patient, friendly, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your success, I cannot recommend Nancy highly enough. She has made a lasting impact on my learning journey, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. Thank you for your kindness, your patience, and your passion for teaching. Every lesson with you reminds me that learning a language isn't just about words—it's about building confidence, creating meaningful connections, and enjoying the journey. Io sono grato. Grazie di cuore, Nancy. Tu sei fantastica !"See more

Lena T. says, "I really enjoyed my 5 sessions with Sarah. She taught me how to improve my English language skills and how to prepare professionally for my job interview using innovative relaxation and stress reduction techniques to speak more authentically and conversationally. I found this training very helpful and would recommend Sarah to any ESL speaker who wants to sound more natural."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
