Marlene has been working with my daughters for several months and I am impressed with her patience while leading them through their lessons. She is extremely flexible and incorporates their homework when needed. We enjoy her supportive demeanor.


Rachel C. from Issaquah, WA

I asked Marlene for help writing essays for 6 different colleges. A tall order to be sure, but fortunately Marlene is a great tutor. Over the course of several weeks, she diligently worked through each of my papers with me, pointing out grammar mistakes and giving incredibly helpful suggestions as to how I can improve the communication of my ideas in my writing overall.


Justine V. from Bellevue, WA

I have been trying to improve my written communication skills for years. Taking evening and weekend classes at local community colleges. Buying books and watching video's. Although I have improved some, it's really only now that I have sessions tailored to my needs and the type of writing I am working on. I am really showing improvement. Marlene is working with me on how I start the writing process and progress to the final result. This has been well worth every penny!

Leo H. from Bellevue, WA

Marlene is great with kids. My daughter (7 years old) just finished a session of 7 writing lessons with her this summer. Marlene was creative in teaching how to structure the stories. Before the tutoring, my daughter wrote whatever she thought of on the fly and the story could go anywhere. She showed great progress in organizing her stories and following the plan. Marlene knows how to keep kids engaged. They finished a couple of stories and a chapter book together!

Marlene is a wonderful teacher and she helped me a lot. My goal was to improve the fluency of my speech and Marlene was very creative and persistent in finding various ways to develop my conversational skills. We also worked on preparation for my job interviews and Marlene helped me with the most difficult aspects of interview dialogs, especially with speaking with the interviewer on the phone. Marlene is also a very nice person. She is very patient with the student so you always feel comfortable and confident at her classes. I definitely recommend Marlene's services to anybody who would like to make a significant and fast progress in English and to get much better in everyday conversation.

Ms. Marlene was always prepared before she came to class. She was very patient with my son and tried to find ways to help him with his reading comprehension. She praised my son with his work when he did a good job and that made him be proud of himself. Though we were done having class with Ms. Marlene, I would highly recommend her to others without any hesitations.

Sarah H. from Bellevue, WA

My 10-year old son really enjoyed working with Marlene and he gained a new confidence with writing. She worked extensively with him on breaking down the writing into manageable pieces and translating his thoughts into complete sentences. She also worked on paragraph structure and ensuring that he expanded the content to be more than just the bare bones. We are very glad we had Marlene come work with him and would highly recommend her as a writing tutor.
