Marcia is a very good tutor. She has a multi cultural experience, and she also speaks several foreign languages. For this reason, she is an excellent tutor for ESL/ESOL students, but not only for them. With Marcia, every dedicated student will make progress. Studying English as a second language, is not any more a tough obligation, it's become a pleasure.

For the first meeting, she had prepared several materials so that she could find the best way for my daughter. Since my daughter wanted to improve her pronunciation, Diana introduced some web site regarding pronunciation and my daughter can learn how to pronounce correctly with the help of Diana. She also suggested to get a mirror to see the mouth carefully when my daughter speaks. Now, my daughter has found words she cannot pronounce correctly. We have been satisfied with Diana so far.
