My daughter - 8 years - has been learning a lot from Laurie in little time. Laurie has been great in teaching her and comes ALWAYS prepared for the lesson with techniques, learning tricks, and material. We are very glad we met Laurie and hope to continue with her for a long long time. Thanks Laurie.

In the beginning of my lessons, I was terribly nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Initially, my goal was to learn basic Farsi so that I could say a few phrases in my wedding vows and perhaps have some understanding of the language of my in laws.
Not only was I able to say my vows within less than (12) one-hour sessions, but I also learned how to write the alphabet and reasonably sound out words to form phrases on my own. A few classes later and I am now conjugating verbs.
Tina is a pure linguist at heart and has a bottomless depth of knowledge when it comes to languages, both formal and informal. She eased her way into lessons so that I was less anxious and taught at a pace that was not overwhelming, while recognizing my strengths and weaknesses so that I was able to build a firm foundation beyond saying my vows. She’s the perfect mix of fun personality and professionalism that makes learning a language a positive experience. I’m on Pacific Standard Time and I’ve had no difficulty arranging classes. In sum, her teaching style worked for me and I imagine she applies her techniques to whatever subject she offers to instruct. I highly recommend Tina as a tutor and I absolutely look forward to continuing my lessons with her.

"PhD in Communication, Flexible, Creative, Native Persian/Farsi Tutor"
After getting my MA in English Language and Literature, I started teaching English as a private tutor and in various language schools in Tehran, Iran. Since English is my second language, I fully understand how challenging it might be to learn. That is why I have designed a special course for Farsi/Dari/Arabic speakers who want to learn English. I can show you the connections between these languages, so you can learn the English vocabulary and grammar fast in a fun class! ... More

Mary is fantastic! She really helped my daughter with her reading home work, she is very experienced and knows exactly how to teach, with lots of encouragement and parental involvement. She has a passion for teaching and that is an invaluable trait! She brought her own materials, understood her learning needs, and worked patiently with my daughter so that she could absorb and understand the material. Not only this but she was flexible enough to provide all the time we needed for my daughter's assignment. She is wonderful and I highly recommend her as a tutor for any child or adult regardless of whether they need major skill building or only a little help.
She is definitely the right tutor for my daughter and we highly recommend her.
