Akash G. says, "I have been practicing my American accent with Prof. Alex for 2 months, and Prof. Alex and his American accent program are exceptional! It is based on a scientific approach to learning how to speak each individual American sound in a variety of drills that Prof. Alex provides. What I like the most is the 2D sound motions, where I can see how I have to move my tongue and speech organs to pronounce American sounds correctly! It gives me the opportunity to understand how American sounds are different from my native language and finally practice them correctly under the supervision of Prof. Alex, who gives absolutely honest, detailed feedback. That’s what I always wanted to get. He doesn’t cuddle me in our sessions and really puts my speaking drills to work. I love working with Prof. Alex because he is professional, innovative, and exceptional, and truly cares about my success. This program has its own app called InPronunci, and Alex gives me a lot of homework in that app. The benefit of InPronunci is that it has an AI accent coach that works like Prof. Alex in our sessions and helps me catch my mistakes. It is a super useful tool when I am not in a session with Prof. Alex. I am very thankful to Prof. Alex. I wish I had him when I learned English at school!"See more

Pat G. says, "Oh, I just had to share this because my heart is so full! We feel like we’ve found a total diamond in the rough with Mrs. Gabby. I originally reached out to her for a family member, but I’ve had the absolute pleasure of sitting in on a few lessons myself—and wow, what a joy it is to watch her work! You can just feel how much she truly loves what she does; her devotion to her students is so genuine and warm. She has this incredible way of making everything so easy to understand. The lessons are fun, interactive, and held in such a cozy, relaxed environment that feels nothing like a stiff classroom. My family member literally counts down the days until their weekly lesson! We feel beyond lucky to have found her. She is a true gift to the English teaching community, and I honestly wish everyone could experience the magic of learning with 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

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

Sapo Pjl says, "(Translated by Google) Finding time in my busy schedule to attend a language school was a challenge, so I opted for online classes as a solution. This allowed me to maintain my work routine and take classes at home or anywhere else, whenever I had a free moment.

Juan B. says, "I started English classes with Trish to improve my English 3 years ago. I had just moved to the US from Spain, and I was going to begin an Executive program at UCLA. At that time I was more worried about the grammar, but she showed me that improving in other areas - special mention to my pronunciation - could make a big difference. I really recommend her. Excellent teacher, although I’d like to remark that she’s been living in another country, speaking another language, so she understands what we’re going through. Trish es realmente una gran profesora con una gran dedicación, y mucha experiencia en el cross-cultural, que hace de ella un inmejorable partner para aquellos que aprendemos inglés."See more
