Saira K.

6 English lessons

Unfortunately, despite Dorit's very kind and supportive nature, she was unable to help me with editing my work. There are grammatical and instrumental English rules of writing that I believe she's unaware about, so when she goes to edit your work it is no longer an essay- but rather a document with subheadings and that is accompanied by grammatical errors. I suggest not using her for support in english or humanities papers from an editing/writing structure perspective.

Andersom T.

45 English lessons

She is really very patient and persistent with her students. I knew absolutely nothing about English when I started having classes with her, but in only 5 months she managed to help me communicate with others more effectively and understand a lot of English. Our classes had a little bit of everything: conversation, grammar and writing. I am from Brazil and lived in Palo Alto for 7 months.

Pamela L.

8 English lessons

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank Rhea for everything. She is an amazing tutor who is extremely professional, honest, responsible, and flexible. Most importantly she so personable and eager to help on so many levels. Its not easy working with a family who just arrived from Kenya. Their 6year old son needed to be tutored in English to have some sort of basis of the English language before he entered school.
