Adrian I. says, "It was very important for me to work with a true professional, and Alex having a PhD in linguistics and language education made my decision immediate. I scheduled a consultation without hesitation. The $90 was absolutely worth it to understand the deeper background of linguistics. I had never realized that this type of teaching even existed. Coming from a traditional school system, I learned English mainly through vocabulary and grammar. However, Alex showed me that the phonological structure of a language is just as important as those elements. That was the missing piece for me. Working with Professor Alex made me realize how many things were missing in my speaking. Now, I truly feel integrated. I feel like I belong. I feel confident and comfortable with my English. I don’t just speak—I communicate. I understand humor. I’ve grown. The main reason I took this course was because, in the past, I always felt like I didn’t fully belong when speaking. Even though I had an advanced level, something always felt incomplete in the way I expressed myself and understood the language. Alex completely filled that gap. He gave me something I didn’t even know I was missing. Now I feel the language. I feel free when I communicate. I don’t worry about mistakes or pronunciation anymore. I just speak—and that brings me a sense of comfort and confidence. It feels natural, like this is truly part of my reality now. Switching between languages happens automatically and effortlessly. Spanish is my native language, but now English feels just as real to me. Alex brought me that missing piece, and it has made a complete difference. I highly recommend Alex to anyone who wants to make a real difference in their speaking and truly integrate into American culture—not just by being present here, but by being able to speak, enjoy, travel, work, and simply live your life without constant struggle. He can make that happen for you. Thank you so very much."See more

swathi vinjamuri says, "We recently enrolled my kids in Math and English sessions tailored for elementary-level students, and overall, the experience has been quite positive.Math Sessions:The math instruction was clear and focused on foundational concepts like addition, subtraction, and place value.English Sessions:The English lessons emphasized reading comprehension, vocabulary, and basic grammar. The sessions balance phonics work with reading practice and writing simple sentences.There was a good variety of materials, both for classwork and homework. The instructors are very supportive and encouraging."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

Sophie C. says, "I’ve been working with Prof. Alex for a while in one-on-one sessions, and I truly want to say that his app InPronunci is just as PERFECT and EFFECTIVE as taking classes with him in person. Working together with Prof. Alex and practicing in InPronunci brings a lot of VALUE. What I really love is that the app itself is structured exactly the same way he teaches in his classes. The SMART thing about the app is the human-based instructions, because they guide you exactly like he does during his lessons. You learn so much from these instructions—and as non-native speakers, we truly need that kind of guidance to start speaking better and more confidently. Changing your speech is a process that requires a lot of dedication. At first, I thought it would be like a regular English class, but Prof. Alex showed me that this was the wrong way of thinking. He guided me toward the best way to actually achieve real results, and I am very thankful for that. I needed someone who could mentor me in accent reduction, and Prof. Alex is truly the best when it comes to both mentoring and teaching. InPronunci motivates you and supports you because of its human-based guidance—and that makes a huge difference. The AI accent coach in the app is also a perfect addition, helping you evaluate your speech, stay in control of your mistakes, and correct them step by step. I love working with InPronunci, and I highly recommend this app to anyone who truly wants to achieve GREAT results. ADVICE: schedule a session with prof. Alex because by yourself you wont succeed Ive been there I know what I am talking about! Thank you, Prof. Alex! you are really PRO the best!"See more
