Praise From Clients

Don’t just take my word for it. Read how global professionals—from Silicon Valley software engineers to international business leaders—have transformed their communication, mastered accent reduction, and gained native-level confidence.

“Scott has been helping me with the language for almost a year now. I’m a native Russian speaker and make a lot of ‘classic’ Russian pronunciation mistakes. Scott does a great job of helping me to eliminate them.

“Scott is also a professional Russian-to-English translator, and this comes in surprisingly handy in our lessons. Often, if there’s a Russian idiom I’d like to use in English, Scott comes up with a nice translation for me.

“Finally, since cultures in Russia and the US differ and I moved only a few years ago, it’s not always obvious to me why certain things are the way they are here. Scott lived in a Russian-speaking country for quite some time and he really understands both mentalities. His first-hand experience is really valuable for someone like me, and Scott is always happy to answer questions.”

Fabien, San Francisco software engineer 🇫🇷

“Scott really helps me to improve my pronunciation and my understanding of English. He works with me to fix my pronunciation mistakes. Now I’m more confident while I’m speaking, whereas before I used to be very anxious about speaking English. In addition, I enjoy meeting with Scott because we talk about various topics like travelling, movies, nature, culture, and so on. That makes English practice more enjoyable. Scott is very enthusiastic about learning languages and he has strong experience. Thanks to that, he provides great advice to progress. Together, during our lessons, we practice pronunciation, we review some grammar rules, and we practice English like in real life so he can point out mistakes.

“So finally, before meeting Scott, learning English was boring for me, but now I like learning and I want to keep going.”

Kazuo, international business executive 🇯🇵

“Scott is very kind and his explanations at his lessons are very easy me to understand. He uses a wide variety of example sentences and teaches me until I understand perfectly. He is the best English teacher I have ever met.”

Tyhoon, San Francisco software engineer and entrepreneur 🇰🇷

“I’ve been taking lessons from Scott for two and a half years. He is a very enthusiastic and patient teacher. If you’re looking for someone to help you polish your conversational skills or improve your accent, I think he would be a good candidate.”

Nick, San Francisco insurance industry specialist 🇧🇾

“​I immigrated from Belarus. I was very fortunate to have Scott as my English tutor. He tutored me in the spring and summer of 2017. We covered listening, reading, writing and speaking in these 12 weeks. 

I was impressed with his lessons because Scott was always well prepared. He tailored the classes to my needs. He gave me many vocabulary and word choice tips. And we practiced through many useful exercises and productive activities.

Scott is a talented instructor and mentor. He will help you learn English. You will fall in love with English after training with him. I highly recommend Scott.”

Maria 🇷🇺

an English tutoring student

​“I’ve been taking lessons with Scott for about 4 months now and I really enjoy it. After the first 2 months I became much more confident. I am not shy to communicate with other people anymore. Scott helps me with grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. His lessons are always interesting and, sometimes, really funny. Also, Scott is flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciate as a mom of two kids.”

Victoria 🇷🇺

“As for me, Scott is an amazing tutor. He really helps me to improve my English skills. If you have problems with grammar—he will explain it to you; he will correct your pronunciation as well, and point out all your mistakes in a conversation!”

Max 🇨🇳

a student of the English tutor

“We are satisfied with your work. Your lessons are so great and Max really enjoys it. Thanks again for your help.” (from Kang, his father)

“We really appreciate your help to Max. It’s very lucky for Max to learn English with a teacher like you. Time flies by. It has been 5 years since we returned to China. If he hadn’t been studying with you, his English would not have made such great progress. …all this laid a good foundation for his future study.” (from Lucy, his mother)

Kyosuke 🇯🇵

“Scott really helped me to correct my pronunciation. He pointed out accurately the areas I need to work on, and I think my pronunciation has improved.”
