Dimona is an amazingly gifted teacher. I am an adult student that is suspected to have a math…read morehandicap called dyscalculia. Though I've never been tested for it, I check right down the list for it as I've struggled with math all my life. I was trying to pass the West B teacher certification and had taken the math portion already five times and failed when Dimona was recommended to me. I was hesitant because I had been informally tutored with several math teachers that I knew preparing for this test. I went ahead and booked my first session with her. From the first session, I knew this time would be different, as she talked about understanding how I saw thing visually and my struggle was how math had been taught to me in the past. We started fresh and built a foundation. I understood concepts for the first time because of the way she broke them down. If I was struggling with a concept, she tried several ways to explain it better to me. She was patient and compassionate with my comprehension or lack of it when I wanted to quit. She cheered me on and reassured me I could pass this test and understand so much more than I ever thought I could! The next time I took the test, I passed it! She did in three months what no one else was able to do for me in a year of studying. I am grateful for her sharing her gifts with me.

I really enjoyed my time with the music factory, and I was connected with some awesome people/great musicians and mentors. I was able to explore many new concepts and even a new instrument, and every step of the way was guided by first class musicians. I highly recommend TMF to anyone, but especially adult students who want expert, in-person lessons! I worked specifically on guitar with Blake and drums with Tim, and both of them were really great at gauging where I was at coming in and helping me figure out where I could grow.

This review is based on a few interactions that I had with Bill recently while I was interested in…read morebecoming his French Student. I ended up not becoming a student of his, because he and I agreed that it was not the best personality fit. So, please keep in mind that I am reviewing Bill from that rather limited experience with him. That being said, I am still giving Bill a 5 star review because I could tell that he takes French tutoring very seriously and that he puts his all into his tutoring sessions. I also thought that Bill was very prompt and professional in his communication with me. I would recommend only reaching out to Bill if you are ready to schedule right away (otherwise he may fill your preferred slot with someone else within 24 - 48 hours!) and also only if you already have an internet speed of 100 mbps or higher. Bill requires this internet speed in order to tutor someone via Zoom calls, because he wants to minimize the chances of tech issues such as freezing and dropped calls. This requirement seems reasonable to me, and it makes sense. My internet speed was 50 mbps when I first reached out to him, and shortly after Bill informed me about his internet speed requirement, I scheduled with my internet provider to come out and change my internet speed to 400 mbps. This was something that I figured was a good idea to get done anyway, even though I was already starting to get the sense that Bill wasn't the best fit for me personality-wise. The first available appointment that my internet provider had for me was one week after I called them. Well before my internet provider came out to change my internet speed to fit Bill's requirement, Bill had already filled the scheduling spot that I'd been interested in with someone else. None of Bill's other open spots in his schedule suited my schedule, and, as I have already mentioned, this was not a good personality fit, so I had a brief, pleasant, professional communication exchange with Bill in this vein, and Bill and I pleasantly wished each other well. Bill referred me to the L'Alliance Francaise for a French tutor, a solid and reasonable recommendation. The reason that I did not feel that it is a good personality fit is that I tend to be more laid-back (although I am very reliable) and Bill to me came across as extremely high-pressure, which I don't like and don't thrive around. I'm very self-motivated, and extremely high-pressure to me seems unnecessary, off-putting, and overboard. However, if you are more the type who either doesn't mind high-pressure personalities and/or needs a kick in the rear to get things done, Bill may be a perfect fit for you. Last note, Bill's schedule is almost completely full so he is in very high demand as a tutor - and he will let you know that! It's nice that Bill is in high demand. I think that how someone handles a bad personality fit speaks volumes about their character, and I thought Bill handled it well. A bientot and enjoy learning this beautiful language, whether it is with Bill or with another great tutor.

When I entered his studio for the first time, it was with great trepidation and doubt, but at the ripe old age of 45, I just couldn't put off approaching my dream of French fluency any longer. To my delight and surprise, Bill had me speaking within 30 minutes. Learning language with him is invigorating and exciting, and unlike any teaching experience I've had before. The lessons go by too quickly, it's such fun, and his firm but kind accuracy and explanations provide one with the sense of being saturated with content of the highest caliber. Can't say enough good things about Bill as a language instructor.
