Rodrigo P. says, "No PRO LIKES HIM ON THIS PLATFORM! I want to express my amazement after my first class with Prof. Alex, which was the onboarding orientation session I attended recently. I am very impressed with what he can do in class and how he works! The program is very professional and well-organized. It is structured so that you learn how to actually pronounce—many schools focus on teaching grammar and vocabulary but completely forget the third component that exists in our native languages, which is phonology, phonetics, or pronunciation—whatever you want to call it. Prof. Alex is that guy who handles this component so professionally that you succeed in each session with him! I’ve tried multiple phonetic exercises, and I immediately succeeded with them. Though this doesn’t mean I can speak like this right away, learning how to correctly articulate American English sounds improves overall speech! Prof. Alex has many advanced tools that make the process go very fast, and I am grateful for that— no one pros on this Thumbtack offers such opportunities. They offer you to read the text and follow them - but prof. Alex goes way further then that! You gotta try yourself! It’s very unique and special, and prof. Alex is a truly exceptional professional. I have no doubt I will be hiring him to help me succeed because I am a U.S. professional and need my skills to be top-notch for conferences, presentations, and simply talking with coworkers and friends! Thank you so much, Alex, and I look forward to starting my program. I highly recommend prof. Alex’s American accent program is one of the very best. Thanks for accepting me as your student!"See more

Adrian I. says, "So far it was an excellent experience. I schedule a session with prof. Alex and he explained a lot of features how to work with Inpronunci app. To my mind that is much better than any apps on the market because this app is teaching me how to actually speak sounds of American English and then provides me with speaking drills and tools to make it sound naturally and fluently. A great thanks to Prof. Alex for 2D Sound Motion Technology! It is the best tool for showing how to pronounce the sounds correctly NOT like others juts ask you to repeat after them NOT EVEN KNOWING how to repeat! In this App you def learn that! I personably subscribe to PREMIUM and I meet prof. Alex once a month and he is practicing with me and guiding me throughout my challenges! I highly recommend first session with Prof. Alex! He is such a pro and show everything you need tot know how to succeed! Plus it is budget friendly I love it! Super value!"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

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

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

My first student was my severely dyslexic sister who was in 8th grade reading at 1st grade level. For years teachers told me she needed to read more and she was eventually catch up. Nothing worked until I found the Orton-Gillingham method. Not only is she able to read now but she is addicted to a series of novels! I am trained and certified in the Barton System which one of the most comprehensive Orton-Gillingham based programs. The Orton-Gillingham method is the golden standard in teaching reading to children and adults with dyslexia. I have taken Lindamood-Bell's Lips training workshop on phonemic awareness for my most severely dyslexic students. I have also taken Susan Barton's 6-day graduate level Screening for Dyslexia seminar. In addition to my O.G.-based training, I have taken countless Linguistics and Structured Word Inquiry courses to expose my students to a scientific approach to orthography. Every word has a story and meaningful reasons for the way it is spelled, even so-called "sight words!" Using SWI, students use critical thinking, expand their vocabulary, and improve reading comprehension. Signs of Dyslexia: - Terrible spelling (Number 1 sign of Dyslexia) - Unable to sound out unknown words or nonsense words - Unable to retain spelling words from spelling tests - Slow choppy reading - Relies on context clues when reading - Makes guesses when reading I tutor all students (ages 6 to adult) online using a screen sharing software. My hourly rate applies to 55-minute sessions. I look forward to hearing from you!See more
