Mina is an amazing tutor - He helped me prepare for my trip to Egypt and was very thoughtful about teaching me useful phrases. I’m usually not good learning languages but his teaching style made me feel comfortable and put me at ease. My best experience learning a foreign language ever - I highly recommend!

The book that she recommends and uses to teach Russian is an amazing book: it comes with an easy to use website that has exercises and games/quizzes/flashcards to review and learn. This is not my first foreign language I have learned and Maria, in combination with this book, makes it unbelievably simple to learn with a little bit of work compared to my previous school taught language. I highly recommend her. Helpful, kind, and an amazing teacher.
Sunita M.

When I enrolled in Latin 101, I knew I would need a tutor as I was completely lost in the course. The first exam we had I received a 95% and only got 3 questions wrong. I worked with her up until May until I completed the course successfully. If it wasn't for Denise, I would not only have not passed the course, but I wouldn't have graduated from GMU. She was an exceptional tutor and I recommend her to anyone!!
