After lesson two she had me convinced that I have everything I needed. I just need to remember how to put it on the paper. I thought that was the greatest answer to the situation I was in at that time. She is wonderful!!!!!
Amanda S. from Salem, AL
I had the pleasure of sitting down with "Ms. O" today and I must say that she is the most down to earth and humble teacher I have ever met! She is really dedicated to helping me to reach my goals in learning a 2nd language for both school and my career goals. She took an assessment to see where I was with my Spanish capabilities. She assured me that I would do great, and explained each of my problem areas to me in detail. She gave me homework to do before next lesson so that our focus can begin on conversations in the future. I am so excited about my future sessions, and learning more about this language. She has indeed taken a great load off my shoulders! I feel comfortable and confident in the decision I made to hire her as my tutor!!
Cluadette M. from Fort Benning, GA
She was very easy to reach all day long through phone and email. When I met Michelle I was very nervous. I gave her a little back ground about myself and my comfort level with the subject I was going to go over with her. I must say she made me feel so at ease. She also explain everything to me step by step. Whenever I had a question she would stop and explain it and also search different website to help me understand it better. I will definitely be keeping Michelle as my tutor for this semester. Thank you so much Ms. Michelle.

We learned how to say our name, our age, and where we live. I feel the first lesson went well.

Carlos R. from Columbus, GA
Michelle immediately identified which were my weaknesses in the first minutes of our talking, and she focused on them in order to improve my pronunciation, giving me a lot of expressions, some tips and especially when, where and how to use them according to the context. I'm definitely going to continue the lessons with Michelle.
