    "The best learning experience I have had was with Ms. Rosales. Math has always been a tough subject for me to grasp. It has been years since I’ve studied math in a classroom setting. Yet she explained the concepts in a way that was easy for me to grasp. She’s very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. She was able to accommodate me even with my strict schedule. I would highly recommend her as a tutor to anyone."

    I highly recommend Ms. Rosales as a French tutor. She has really helped me with improving my French, especially in areas like grammar and vocabulary. She also made sure she found times she was available so we could work together if I didn’t understand something. Merci beaucoup!

    "Eva is a kind and wonderful teacher with excellent language skills. She helped me prepare to take the TOELF IBT exam. All the material she gave me such as videos, articles, and sample tests were topics of my interest, which let me enjoy classes. Besides improving my vocabulary and grammar, I got more fluency in speaking. I really recommend Eva; she will give you all the tools you need to learn a language.”
