    Some sounds spoken in the American English language are not very clear for other language speakers…read more For example, for some Latin language speakers, usually words such as "bad / bed" and "sheep/ ship" sound literally the same. As a Latin language speaker myself, one can imagine the kind of misunderstanding some conversations I had would cause, right? I had tried taking classes with several teachers before finding Sheila, and none were able to help me understand the difference of these sounds, much less teach me how to repeat and imitate these sounds myself. Then, I finally met Sheila. Sheila was able to help me recognize the differences of many english sounds which I didn't know how to tell one from the other, and she also helped me recognize sounds/words I was mispronouncing without even knowing it. She also helped me repeat these sounds myself, and it amazes me how her knowledge is so broad when it comes to english in all aspects! During our classes, she would explain to me the positioning of the lips and the tongue, the opening of the mouth and where I should "feel" the sound coming from when saying vowels and consonants sounds out loud. She knows a level of detail about pronunciation that I didn't even know existed, and even though it took a while for my ears to get trained and recognize these different sounds, I can see my accent is getting more natural (and smooth!) by the day with our classes! What's also incredible about Sheila is that, additionally, she has so much English knowledge that goes way beyond pronunciation. She has been teaching me and my husband some advanced grammar rules that sometimes we'd overlook and make mistakes. She has also been helping us with our "flow" when speaking and reading, showing us how English speakers add rhythm to the phrases, which words to emphasize, how to pronounce some words we were mispronouncing, amongst so many other things! And to keep the classes interesting, we have even read books together, and discussed not only the grammar and vocabulary of those books, but also some deeper literature topics and discussed the interpretation of what we had just read! She has deep knowledge of the English language in so many different aspects that I get amazed and surprised at every new topic she finds for us to cover in our classes. I have been taking classes for a few years now, and I know I still have a long way to go before losing my accent and sounding more like a native speaker, but I can also see how far I have gotten since I started taking these classes. As one of the most knowledgeable teachers I've seen, I definitely recommend her classes to any level of English speaker!

    It's worth for the class! I took 10 classes with Sheila , she is very experienced, she knew what's…read moreyour weakness, and left homework to practice, next class will review your homework and recording, and she is responsible teacher,you will improve fast if you follow her instruction, some Americans said my accent is good, take her class, you will not regret. .

    My daughter is going into sixth grade next academic year and we wanted to ensure she was up to…read morespeed on her math. The process to sign up and to get an assessment was easy and the staff is very helpful. My daughter first hesitated going to math school over the summer but she truly likes it. I think it's because she sees how much it's helping and she is feeling confident about her skills. They are always on time and the ratios are great. Also, very easy and confident in terms of week to week scheduling. Pricing is right too. Don't hesitate. If your child needs help with math go here! Also, while you wait there are lots of restaurants in the shopping center to choose from.

    It's time for an update now my son is a sophomore in college. As with many parents, we initially…read moreturned to math tutoring when my son struggled. He started Mathnasium in 2nd grade, but over time, he didn't struggle as much. Mathnasium became more of an extracurricular activity than just tutoring. Of course, like most kids, he wanted to quit at some point. He finally got his wish before his senior year of high school. Looking back, I now truly see the value of this extracurricular. He was good at math, though I wouldn't say he was exceptional, and I always thought he didn't particularly enjoy it. Surprisingly, when he was a sophomore in college, he decided to pursue a minor in engineering--or even math. I guess his years at Mathnasium served him well after all! I wanted to share this because math tutoring isn't just about helping your child in the moment--it can have a lasting impact on their academic confidence and future opportunities.
