Rich was very detailed and thorough on the subject. Very patient and easy to communicate with. Have used various other tutors in the past and he might very well be the most thorough we have used. Will definitely use again. Highly recommend
Rose A.

45 lessons

My daughter said that Alexis was very easy to understand, she was very patient and thorough and made her feel very comfortable. When the session was over, Alexis took the time to speak to me and explain what they had covered during the session and gave us suggestions and tips on how to study and prepare for class. This was very much appreciated.
Janice S.

Anna started a beginning Spanish lesson with our two daughters ages 10 and 15. She brought enlarged visuals to help our visually-impaired daughter with the lesson and was thorough with the lesson the full hour. She has a gentle way about her that made our daughters feel comfortable. She explained things well, and the girls are looking forward to the next lesson.
