Leo L. says, "I’ve been tutoring with Carol for over a year. I had a lot of catching up to do in school, but she helped me with my reading and writing so that this year I was able to start college. I’m getting A’s in my American History class that requires a lot of writing. I like how our tutoring sessions go - I’m learning something new all the time. Carol is very nice and easy to get along with and she picks out interesting readings that make me think. She is good at helping you figure out what you need to do to achieve your goals. I’ve learned a lot and gained confidence in the time I’ve been tutoring with her."See more

Celine F. says, "As a French speaker with a previously heavy accent, I was initially skeptical about the effectiveness of accent reduction programs. However, my experience with Prof. Alex’s American Accent Training has been nothing short of transformative. The 2D Sound Motion Technology used in the program is a GAME-CHANGER; it allowed me to see the precise positioning of my speech organs and understand how to pronounce the American sounds correctly. The methodology is simple: you follow sound by sound approach like in the translators and interpreters' courses which is HIGH LEVEL OF EDUCATION and the MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO SUCCEED! For example, the French “r” sound is quite guttural, while the American “r” is more fluid and frontal. Prof. Alex’s technology made this distinction crystal clear, and I could practice until my muscle memory adapted. The “th” sound, which doesn’t exist in French, was another hurdle. With the visual aid of the 2D Sound Motion, I could repeatedly observe and correct my tongue’s placement until it felt natural and fluent. I love how I sound now and I feel that these sounds are all the way "belong" to me. It feels very natural like in my native language! Prof. Alex’s expertise and the innovative technology he employs have significantly diminished my accent, making my English sound more authentic and comprehensible. It is very close to American Accent. People start asking me what state i came from! His methodical approach, coupled with the cutting-edge technology, provided a structured path to accent mastery. I highly recommend this program to anyone serious about accent reduction; it requires dedication, but the results are well worth the effort. Alex, you are the best American Accent Coach I have ever worked with! Thanks a lot for being for me!"See more

Jeffrey S. says, "I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Tim's exceptional tutoring abilities. My student needed support in Advanced Placement US History, and Tim came to our rescue with his unparalleled expertise and dedication. From the outset, it was clear that Tim's approach was not just about imparting knowledge but understanding the unique needs of my student. His empathetic nature shone through as he took the time to connect with my student on a personal level, instilling confidence and motivation where there was doubt. What truly set Tim apart was his ability to develop a customized tutorial program tailored to my student's learning style and pace. He didn't just follow a one-size-fits-all approach but rather crafted a program that addressed specific areas where my student needed support while capitalizing on my students' strengths. His content knowledge was nothing short of impressive, and he effortlessly navigated through complex historical topics, making them accessible and engaging. The results speak volumes. Thanks to Tim's individualized program and unwavering support, my student not only excelled in Advanced Placement U.S. History but also achieved success on the exam beyond our expectations. Tim's effective tutoring methodology proved invaluable, paving the way for my student's academic achievement and future success. In conclusion, Tim is more than just a tutor; he is a mentor, a guide, and a true educational advocate. I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone seeking top-notch tutoring services. Thank you, Tim, for everything you've done for our family."See more
