My Best Tutor Ever!
If you are looking for a tutor who will exceed your expectations, Maggie is that person. Her vibrant outgoing personality makes tutoring sessions fun and engaging, while her incredible teaching skills, extensive experience, and tailored approach help you perfect your English with ease. My story is as follows: I had a pressing need to improve my writing. My level of English is something between “pretty-good-for-a-foreigner” and “but-you-are-still-a-foreigner.” It took me more than three frustrating months to find a tutor who could actually help me. My first tutor could not identify my issues and said here was nothing to work on. When I told my second tutor that I had issues with articles, he wasted my time explaining the difference between the articles “A” and “An.” Never mind that I had sent him a six-page legal memorandum to give him a sense of my English. He simply ignored it and came unprepared, but had no qualms about charging a fee. My third tutor had no system whatsoever. I could go on with a number of other ridiculous situations I encountered during my search. However, the point is that I wasted too much time. Luckily for me, my tutor search brought me to Maggie. By the end of our first session, I told myself, “Well, now you are in good hands!” In contrast to prior tutors, Maggie quickly evaluated my level and identified the areas which needed improvement. What I loved most was that she developed a system specifically tailored to my needs; I did not have to think about what to do next. Maggie does more than I ever expected. She sends multiple grammar references and exercises. Be prepared, at a certain point you may be inundated with information! She often reviews my writing samples before we meet and follows up afterwards with materials on issues encountered during the session. On top of everything, Maggie is a very talented teacher who has a unique ability to break down some of the most confusing English grammar rules. Maggie has armed me with all of the necessary tools, and I have had no choice other than to improve my writing. In fact, my writing has significantly improved. Maggie has converted me into a fan of online tutoring sessions. I had mistakenly believed that in-person sessions were superior in quality to online sessions. Thus, for first six months I had only in-person sessions with Maggie. I cannot believe how much time I wasted on commuting. Aware of my long commute (about 45 minutes each way), Maggie suggested trying online sessions several times. However, being a creature of habit, I kept resisting until one day I finally tried one and absolutely loved it. Since then, I have only met with Maggie online. Online sessions provide the same quality of tutoring as in-person sessions in a more efficient manner, and Wyzant’s interactive platform enhances the experience.

Great American accent class!
Great first lesson. Maggie spent time explaining how to physically pronounce and pay attention to where in my mouth/throat it should come from. Looking forward to more sessions

Focused, efficient and kind.
Maggie helped edit some essays. She ensured good use of time with clear call outs of problem areas (small like punctuation and large like repeated use of “I” in personal narrative) and was kind to make me feel they were still in good shape :) Thank you!

Maggie is an excellent teaching professional!
Maggie is very good at pinpointing my major weaknesses in speaking English during our first conversation. She put much efforts in finding the best approach to speed up my study progress and maximize the result. Apart from the lessons, She provides me with a lot of resources and suggests to me different practices I can do in my daily life, which makes the journey very rewarding. I'll definitely continue to work with her.

Excellent tutor!
Maggie is an excellent tutor! My husband sees already changes in my pronunciation! We have been working on the "Th" sound. The book "Mastering the American Accent" by Lisa Mojsin is great. Thank you Maggie!!! :)
