Yuanyang Z.

71 English lessons

I recommend him to anyone who is not native to English and wants to improve his/her English. I have been in the United States for over 11 years. Although people could mostly understand what I said, I knew that my oral English had some issues. I found Steven on Wyzant with the goal to reduce my accent. In our first class, Steven diagnosed two major problems in my oral English: wrong pronunciations in some specific sounds and incorrect grammar usage.

Maria W.

119 English lessons

Moreover, it is also easy to talk with her about any topic. I am so thankful to her because she helped me lose my fear of speaking English and even using awful English grammar. Since I started taking lessons with Ursula, my English skills have improved so much that I now prefer reading English books and watching films in English; I am no longer afraid to speak and write to native English speakers. I highly recommend this tutor!

Emanuel S.

5 English lessons

For this reason I spent years working on my English and taking English classes basic 1 and 2, intermediate 1 and 2, and conversational including a trip to UCF in Florida in a program to learn English. All of this helped me to improve my English but not sufficiently for the professional level needed. I started to take classes with José Antonio to improve my written and spoken English.
