Patient and Passionate teacher!

Teacher Emily helps my son on language development and social development. She is patient and passionate, her class is informative and also enjoyable. She uses lots of ways to improve my son's language skill such as story telling and interactive games. My son learn a lot from the class in a relaxing way.

Excellent Tutor

Emily tutored me for six weeks and helped me tremendously in passing my college level Portuguese class. This was a class that I was worried about as it had been over a year since taking the first two levels. However with Emily's help, I was able to quickly get back up to speed and then review new material each week. With her help I not only passed, but I excelled. Thank you.

Professional and kind

It was a very good first lesson, we worked together with my recurring pronunciation mistakes:) Emily was very professional and kind, I felt comfortable and happy of having her as my tutor! I can't wait to see all the improvements I will have with Emily teaching me how to speak proper English:)

Tailors the lesson to the student

My son is gaining confidence with every lesson. He realizes he still has a great deal to learn, but he feels the process he is following with Emily is working.
