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

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

Thelma B. says, "I can't express how thankful I am for finding Leslie! COVID, distance learning, and working-from-home were HUGE challenges for me and my family. Like a god-send Leslie has assessed my daughter, structured lessons from where my daughter is to where she should be, and used her own time to create tools and resources for me to use in-between sessions. Leslie is the WHOLE package! She's returned my faith in that my child can catch up where she's falling behind and even excel. Thank you."See more

Kerry H. says, "Our family is forever grateful for finding Lily! She has completely changed the trajectory of our daughter’s educational journey. Lily has many years of experience as a teacher and reading tutor, and is certified as a Wilson Reading Program instructor, which is considered the gold-standard reading program to teach dyslexic children. Lily is experienced, patient, and dedicated to helping our daughter succeed. Our daughter made amazing strides working with Lily for the last two and a half years and is now able to read grade level texts. Her fluency, decoding and comprehension have all improved and most importantly, her self-esteem has increased so much that now she volunteers to read in class! We recommend Lily to everyone who’s child struggles with reading."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
