Knowledgeable and patient mentor

Verna has been working on my grammar, pronounciation, vocabulary and my reading skills. She is very knowledgeable. Just only about 4 weeks, since I started her ESL online lesson, I have already noticed at lot of improvement and continues to progress in speaking the language, English. One more thing, with Verna’s teaching techniques, I’m able to apply what I have learned as well as confidently communicate well.

Definitely recommend this tutor!

I am having Verna tutoring for my 21 year old nephew, who is visiting here for 3 weeks from Japan. He was so nervous at the beginning but he immediately felt very comfortable with her. My nephew said that she definitely knows how to teach English for non-native speakers like him. He said that she is a very enthusiastic and fun teacher. He also said that he wished that he had been able to learn English from someone like her when he was much younger... Being a non-native English speaker myself, I understand what he means, and I am happy that he got a teacher like Verna. She is on time and she is always very polite. I definitely recommend her.

Very adaptable pertaining to the needs of her student!

I randomly selected Verna as a tutor for my wife based upon several responses to my request. My wife is Thai and has been in the U.S. for 3 years. She can read and write english however her comprehension of complex sentences and words is deficient. She had limited exposure to the American education system and was now attempting to enter higher education. She had previously taken a college entrance exam and failed, needing 15 correct answers, only being able to successfully answer 8 questions within the limited allowed time frame of 12 minutes. Therefore, I sought out help in the form of a tutor, via Wyzant. Verna had less than two weeks to help my wife successfully pass this entrance test. She meet with her 4 times for a total of about 12 hours. I found that Verna quickly assessed my wife's skills and needs, adapted her teaching style to best utilize my wife's needs and successfully helped her to comprehend and pass the entrance test. So much so, that my wife was able to correctly answer 21 questions within the allotted time frame. I was very happy with her tutor style and the successful results.
