Granby Language Lessons

Christine helps me with English pronunciation. She has absolute music ear, easily catches any divergence from native language, and explains very clearly how to improve. Thank you!

Christine is an outstanding teacher. Our son loves her classes

Very nice and helpful.

thanks Joy

My daughter always had a great deal of trouble with math at all levels - arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry. Jon tutored my daughter for several years, in our home, in Arithmetic, Algebra I and II, and Geometry. He definitely shares responsibility for her graduation from Beaumont High School with a class rank of 7th out of about 575 fellow students. Jon is very flexible in his teaching, and excels at figuring out what aspect of math is causing confusion for the student. He is very patient, and is able to rephrase and express concepts in different ways to get the point across. Fantastic tutor!

Ines is fantastic! She is obviously a native Spanish speaker. She is is a wonderful & nurturing teacher, too. I can tell my little boy likes her because he always wants to entertain her. Ines meets the challenge of his being easily distracted. She shares her language and culture with us all and engages our son in topics to keep his interest (not easy for a young boy). She is very humble in all her talents and education. Only through multiple lessons, we have learned of some of her accomplishments and she has so much to offer beyond the language instruction and as part of her language instruction. She is also aware of the nuances of the language as spoken in Latin America and Spain and when it comes up, she shares this with us as part of her lesson. She is amazing! She is also very punctual and courteous, sending reminders of the lesson in advance and has been accommodating when we have needed to reschedule. She always has great learning tools and strives to teach Spanish at the best level for her student's needs and interests. We are so glad we found Ines and so grateful! We cannot say enough about how wonderful she has been for us!

I have always been skeptical of taking a language class online, but Ines has made my experience incredible! She not only knows how to teach spanish, but is also able to adapt and create innovative lessons for students of all levels! I was so comfortable speaking in Spanish and learning the language. If you have to hire a Spanish teacher, this is the one to hire!

M. Marie Roche conducted on the campus of U Mass eight seminars--open to all--on two of Shakespeare's history plays, King John and Richard II. Neither play is popular with modern Shakespeare-going audiences. But she accomplished the nearly impossible--making both plays compelling and relevant by her selection of background documents and themes. I hope that TakeLessons can provide an adequate platform for her level of sophistication.

Starting a new language can be intimidating, but this first lesson was great. Clare is friendly, welcoming, and patient; I’m looking forward to the next one!

When I was looking for a Japanese tutor, I wanted somebody who could help guide my studies and help me understand the subtle nuances that can't be gleaned from the dry instruction of a textbook. Clare really fit the bill, as she has deep knowledge of both Japanese and linguistics in general. We've been meeting for almost a year now, and my Japanese has improved tremendously (and at a great pace). She puts a lot of effort into the curriculum, and employs a variety of different teaching methods/exercises. I look forward to our every class.
