Yves, a native French-speaker, is the perfect instructor for my son and my needs. He works with us on pronunciation and spelling while focusing on real-life conversation skills. My son and I are both quick learners with a background in another foreign language, so we were able to grasp tricky articulation challenges quickly. If you are a native, American-English speaker and brand new to learning a foreign language, Yves may be a little advanced.

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!
Dave C.

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.
