Amazing class with Maria! For every question my kid had, Maria patiently explained very well. My kid can easily understand and be more and more confident in theory. Maria is also a super good ear training teacher. Maria prepared very well for ear training practice. Maria can accurately get my kid’s weakness in ear training and emphasize on teaching it. My kid LOVES Maria’s class.

I was definitely eager to sign up for another lesson. She was patient and encouraging, which are two qualities that I really believe a teacher/tutor/mentor should have. If you value experience over all then Dr S is definitely the tutor you should sign up for.

Accent reduction requires a coach who is patient, sensitive, and encouraging in the way they provide corrections, and Miguel does an excellent job with that. He made me feel comfortable from the very first session. Miguel is very organized and follows a clear, structured plan that includes ear training, pronunciation, shadowing, and personalized practice assignments to reinforce each lesson. I also appreciate his honesty.
