I am glad to work with Jean-Michel. He is very patient and skillful to guide me to improve my listening, speaking and pronunciation. I am beginning to making progress. Jean-Michel can accommodate to my special needs such as did a role play to practice with me prior to my meeting, presentation or conference call with clients. It is helpful for me to build up confidence and performance.

Evan was invaluable in helping my daughter with her college algebra class. In the beginning of the semester she was barely passing, but with Evan’s experience, patience and flexible schedule my daughter ended the semester with a B! I also recommend him as a parent of a student with special needs. My daughter has a speech disability and he was able to make all the material very understandable to her. Evan is the way to go!

Miss Anne C. came to my home to tutor my "special needs" daughter in Math and I am so impressed with her genuine kindness and her unique teaching style; both of which helped my daughter netter understand the material. Anne was patient and took the time to figure out the best way to explain concepts to my daughter. She immediately put my child at ease which made learning possible.
