Her approach to teaching was an excellent. MAriella quickly understood the needs of her student and structured her lessons to maximize learning.'' Aug 05 2009
''She was very organized and clear. She explained grammar and usage fundamentals very effectively, and whenever it was clear that I understood certain grammatical structures from my other languages, she shifted quickly and appropriately to actual practice sentences. She had very well chosen exercises for me to do, and she also intermingled exercises with some conversation so that I could both assimilate and apply what I had learned and expand my comprehension and vocabulary. She also has a warm personality which made studying with her very pleasant and fun. In addition, I should note that I gave her an unusual job: eight hours in one week! (I live pretty far away and was in Maryland just for the week.) She adapted perfectly to my needs and interests.'' Aug 03 2009
