Shrod says, "Travis is an excellent ESL tutor. I am an adult learner, and before working with him I felt shy and unsure about my speaking. Travis explains everything clearly and patiently, and he always makes me feel comfortable to practice. My confidence has grown a lot in only a few lessons. He prepares materials that match my goals and helps me with pronunciation, vocabulary, and conversation for my job. I really appreciate his support and highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their English."See more

Reyna D. says, "A Truly Exceptional Tutor We’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Mandy for many years, from my daughter’s early days in elementary school all the way through high school, and I can confidently say that she has been an incredible part of my daughter’s academic journey. From the beginning, Mandy showed patience, dedication, and a genuine passion for helping students succeed. She has an amazing ability to explain concepts clearly, adapt her teaching style to my daughter’s needs, and make learning both engaging and enjoyable. Over the years, I have watched my daughter grow in confidence, develop stronger study habits, and achieve goals she once thought were out of reach — and so much of that progress is thanks to the support and encouragement she received during her sessions. What truly sets Mandy apart is her consistency and commitment. She celebrates my daughter’s strengths while helping her overcome challenges, always showing kindness and professionalism. As a parent, it has been incredibly reassuring to know my daughter has someone in her corner who genuinely cares about her success. I am deeply grateful for everything Mandy has done. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Any student would be lucky to learn from her."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

Kit's Private Tutoring
My experience with Kit it was very good. She has a lot of skills that helped a lot. I'm Brazilian and went to NYC just on vacation but wanted to improve my English in different way, with private classes introducing things day to day and mixing with tour around the city, visiting gallerys, coffee shops, running away from traditional format of classes. I chose and proposed this format because was my vacation and I had just two weeks to enjoy he city and improvement as much as possible my English. She is a very good teaches, helpful, easy going and intelligent. But I know that was a challenge for her. I think that she can improve this format, but with some adjusts It's a very good option to who want to scape of traditional classes. Brenda.

Robert is a professional & responsible ESL teacher. He correctly understands what I need to learn and arranges effective learning contents. He always explains the point clearly and makes difficult topics easy to understand. Also, his rich background in the arts gives the class a variety of topics to discuss. Can be recommended for beginners to advanced English learners.

Ms. Erika Lugo taught 2 children of mine (11 and 7 years old) for 3 weeks, as they were here for a short vacation from Brazil. My husband and I are professors at a Brazilian university and I came here for a sabbatic period of 6 months. Meanwhile, my husband and children came to visit me and so we decide to arrange English classes for the kids only for this short period. Our bet on Ms. Erika resume at Thumbtack was a real success! She is a very kind person, very thoughtful and helpful about students. As they used to have classes 3 times a week, she always prepared some homework to be done in between classes day. And those homework were amazing! Dynamic and funny as children are: musics, tongue twisters, games. They loved it! Every class, she used to please them with something, a sticker, a pencil, and so. Her methods are really efficiency. When my children came back home, after just 3 weeks learning from her, they could tell the difference. It was funny when my older daughter told me her school teaches English to her as she was a baby ('How old are you' and things like that). Not as Ms. Erika used to at all! Ms. Erika's secret, I guess, is to work hard with mouth movements and sounds, not only with words. This makes all difference. In a nutshell, Ms. Erika class is an experience I really recommend.

Linda is a professional of the highest order. She was genuinely interested in my development as a student and as a professional. She was always looking for ways to improve the class and learning environment, as well as to adapt the curriculum to my needs and interests. In addition, she always treated me with the uttermost respect. Finally, I must add that Linda not only has an acquaintance of the English language but also of literature. Thanks to Linda’s assignments and recommendations, I discovered several great authors and books that I was unaware of.
