Marlene A.

6 English lessons

The combination of expertise, professionalism, and caring attitude is so exceptional; I can say with total conviction that there isn't a single tutor I know that has all of these qualities. I've been using tutors on WyzAnt for several years, and she is the one tutor I feel so strongly about that it a pleasure to write this recommendation. I know how hard it is to decide what tutor to hire. If you need English help you should give her a try.
Nikki K.

20 English lessons

The room is quiet and bright, I think it's very good for tutoring. The first time, she prepared some conversation practicing books so I could choose what I wanted to do. And she gave me vocabulary homework. We exchanged e-mail with each other before the first lesson, so she could prepare the first lesson for me. Every time she checked my needs for studying English, and then she prepared it for the next lesson.
Laquita S.

60 English lessons

Erik helps to make English a more tangible subject that my son can engage in. His time with Erik helps to fill the holes that are often missing due to the lack of time in high school courses to go over mechanics. Erik is also good at identifying my son's strengths and the challenges and tailoring his instruction to follow suit. I love that he never talks down to my son. Their conversations are so intelligent.
