Manny N.

17 diction lessons

My daughter told me how great Sara was and how exciting that lesson was. That was exactly what I wanted to hear! So that first lesson was followed by a few more and I have seen and heard the marked improvement in my daughter's speech - pronunciation, diction, thoughtful sentences, and her consciouselimination of unnecessary crutch words (as in, "like", "i mean","you know"). My daughter has described Sara as punctual, friendly, focused and engaged.
Oksana N.

10 diction lessons

Especially, I was amazed about her method on a essay writing. Ms.Mary helped me to interpret my essay from my point of view. She explained techniques on how to structure an essay. My teacher, also, offered me several exercises how to build my speech which I enjoyed doing a lot. Ms. Mary challenged me to think critically about improving my diction as well as my usage of grammar. She corrected my pronunciation issues.
Sharon B.

11 diction lessons

Pascale went out of her way to help our son learn French diction, grammar rules and correct pronunciation in a short period of time. She was very accommodating and fit extra appointments into her schedule. I highly recommend her tutoring services.
