I feel that I was very lucky to meet Janelle. She helped me a lot with my TOEFL scores and during such a short time as one month she helped me to increase my TOEFL scores. She was especially helpful with grammar and writing skills. The points I learned through my lessons with Janelle make me very comfortable in writing and conversation and decrease my routine errors in my daily writing such as emails.

(He is at a middle-school level in all subjects). Rosemary has been handling a large part of his reading and writing curriculum (grammar, reading, writing) through regular lessons. Her lessons are well-organized; she uses effective, step-by step teaching methods for lessons in grammar, and for reading/writing. Rosemary also makes sure that learning is always fun, and that our son never loses interest. (Our son enjoys Rosemary's lesson a great deal).

Instead of writing a jumble of unrelated sentences with improper grammar and punctuation, my son is writing beautifully structured paragraphs in logical order. All this was accomplished just this summer in about 12 hours. My son now has the confidence to attempt writing assignments that would have made him quiver before. He loves Becky, who is such an encouragement to him. She has boosted his self-esteem while teaching him skills for a lifetime.
