Marcia G.

20 Language lessons

Marie is a gifted teacher with a knack for understanding a child's learning style and an intellectual curiosity about learning which is truly inspiring. She showed more patience with our foster child from West Africa than any person who has ever worked with him and spent hours getting to know his language and structuring lessons around his strengths and weaknesses. He came into his own as a student on her watch, and it was remarkable to see.
Steven J.

35 Language lessons

I worked with Dr. Jacques for two full semesters and can tell you that he is an extremely capable and talented language tutor. If not for his tutoring I can say without reservation that with out his help I would not have graduated at least for another year. He was literally a lifesaver. I was to say the least lost when I called Dr. Jacques and in just a few short weeks I was having vastly increased success.
Ian H.

7 Language lessons

Language learning is something you just NEED to receive instant feedback on, and you've got it here. Our usual lesson so far has been an hour weekly at the library, working on the sounds (reading, writing, listening, speaking), some simple dialogue, and very basic grammar concepts. These lessons are for Modern Standard Arabic, but she has told me that she's helped others with dialect work.
