Fabio D.

7 English lessons

I am really glad to have met Elena. I have been studying English for years with many teachers and have a pretty good comprehension of grammatical rules. My problem is speaking and thinking in English. She is helping me to improve these weaknesses. I quite frankly can say that she is the best teacher I have ever had. I like her way of teaching. I feel she enjoys teaching, thus I feel more comfortable and her lessons are always interesting. She is also more than a tutor.

Philip C.

She first evaluates the English level in the area of written and reading competencies, then she develops a plan and path map to help my kids to excel in subject of English. She will run through a series of exercises to constantly check on the progress. From time to time, she will recommend useful books which help my kids to pick up and build vocabulary and comprehend grammar more easier. My wife and I are very pleased with her diligent work with our children.

Byron F.

This is the first time we've ever hired a tutor and we are so glad we found Ann. My son has been very happy to have Ann tutor him. My son's writing and reading has improved remarkably. With Ann's help, my son was able to pass the AP test for the Language and Composition class and improve his grade. Last term, my son received a B in English. This term, he has improved to an A-. I highly recommend Ann for English tutoring and SAT preparation.
