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!"

Pat F. says, "Aaliya a fantastic tutor. She helped my daughter refine a 12th grade AP English research paper and prepare for a very challenging test on interpreting older English poems and stories under time pressure. What really stood out was her patience, dedication, and the genuine care she showed in making sure my daughter truly understood the material. She even went above and beyond by holding an extensive review session the day before the test—even while she wasn’t feeling well. That level of commitment meant a lot to us. The results speak for themselves: my daughter earned the highest grade on her research paper and a 100 on the test. I highly recommend Aaliya for anyone seeking a highly effective English or ELA tutor."

Denise W. says, "I enrolled my son in mindset2learn tutoring to help improve his learning skills. This program has provided him with the attention he needs both one on one and in group settings to navigate the more challenging subjects he faces in the classroom. The personal setting gives him the opportunity to work at his own pace and not feel embarrassed if he is not sure of the correct answers. I can see the improvement in his homework after only a few sessions. The tutors are patient with him and very flexible with their time. We took advantage of the virtual learning option during the snow storm so my son didn’t miss a beat. I am very pleased so far with this program and I would highly recommend them to all parents looking for extra help for their child"
