Leslie has been an excellent tutor! She recognized my weakness and tailor the way to help me with my issues. She always makes sure that I understand and am clear on how to improve my speaking. She is a good listener and always recommends to me the resources that would help me learn and practice myself. I recommend her to anyone that would like to improve and understand how to speak American English. Thank you Leslie!

Leslie was able to understand and replicate my New York Accent in order to teach me what I needed to do to correct it. She had a warm and friendly style and I would highly recommend her for any kind of language or pronunciation lesson!

It was easy for Leslie to quickly identify my weaknesses and her patience, irrespective of the initial technical issues from my end was phenomenal. Leslie helped me to relax and I easily got connected with her. We already agreed more lessons and I look forward to achieving my goal through her tutoring.

Leslie has been a great tutor! She always makes sure you understand the topics and gives you learning tools to practice outside of classes to improve your learning. I definitely will hire her again for future classes. Highly recommended!

English is my second language. Leslie has helped me improve my pronunciation. She uses a variety of teaching technique such as teaching on how the muscles work around the tongue and face area; understanding about vowels and syllables; and learning where to place the stress on the syllable etc. She specializes in linguistics and is very knowledgeable. She is also very encouraging and patient. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their English pronunciation and/or reduce their foreign accent.
- Wendy K. from Saratoga, CA
The lessons with Leslie are fun and enlightening at the same time. Leslie is a very professional Tutor and amazing person. I like the simple but very viable approaches she use to make you feel comfortable and get you to sound like a native. My pronunciation and accent are improving every time I have a lesson with her. I feel more confident and I feel like I sound already much better after only 8 lessons! Definitely recommend!

We have practiced to pronounce different sounds. And these lessons help me to reduce the accent. I want to sound more fluent like a native speaker. Leslie is a great teacher.
