My daughter is an avid reader. She really enjoyed having Dr. Wilson for 3 years during high school. This is after she had tried 3 other private tutors. My daughter does not have a shortage of ideas, but organizing her ideas into a powerful essay can be a challenge. Dr. Wilson was very patient, asking clarifying questions and leading my daughter to think critically to focus on her thesis, to organize her thoughts and to produce great essays. As parents, we love to see how well my daughter responded to Dr. Wilson’s teaching method and her artful integration of many historic events into teaching English writing. My daughter has received A’s in her honors English and AP English classes. We trust Dr. Wilson so much that we made special requests to Dr. Wilson to proofread my daughter’s college application essays as well as post-graduate application essays! Dr. Wilson is the best English tutor we’ve had and we highly recommend her. Less

My child had some struggle with essay writing in English class. Through a friend's referral we signed up with IYE and retained Dr. Goodman to help with improving essay writing skill. Throughout the entire course we checked with our child a few times and were very happy with the tutoring process. Dr. Goodman is a very nice lady with a strong passion about English teaching. She has deep knowledge of modernist literature and guided my child through discussions to come up with points and structures of the essays. Dr. Goodman is very responsive in email communications. After each session she sent an email to her student and parents to summarize the class contents as well as homework before the next session. We can see the result of the tutoring at the end of the school semester. We will definitely recommend IYE and Dr. Goodman to our friends for English tutoring. Less

As a parent of two daughters who have benefited from Ann’s teaching, I highly recommend Ann to those parents who want to focus on improving their children’s ability to write and read. Ann taught our older daughter from when she was in middle school through high school. She achieved excellent grades in English. Now she is in college. On many occasions, she received high praises and marks from her professors for the essays in various humanities courses. Once she got a perfect score in Advanced Writing course, which the professor never believed in perfect score in an essay before. Since we moved to Long Island, New York a few years ago, we had been looking for a tutor like Ann for our younger daughter. But we couldn’t find any good teacher like Ann. We contacted Ann after long search and fortunately she offered tutoring over Skype. We were so pleased with the outcome we got with our older daughter, we didn’t hesitate to enlist her help with our younger daughter. Our younger daughter, 10th grader has been learning over Skype for 10 months. She learns to read more complex texts and expands her vocabulary. We have noticed significant improvements in mindset for approaching and organizing essays. She is steadily improving and can carry herself with more confidence and excels her writing skills and reading comprehension not only in English also in other classes such as history, marketing, research and writing science lab reports. We are impressed by Ann’s teaching method. She reviews and tests new vocabularies, practice critical reading, edit homework essay and check grammar sheets within one hour tutoring session. Also she is very kind and supportive, which makes learnings from her more enjoyable and effective. Her teaching method is superb and well organized. We are always thankful for Ann’s wonderful teaching after lesson every week. Less

My 6th grade son has been taking online lesson from Mr. David McCalmon for several months now. We are hesitant initially. First, IYE's class focuses a lot on fundamentals of English as a language, so I am not sure if my son will be able to commit himself without being bored. Secondly, I am not so comfortable with online class due to age of my son and the fact that I can't sit next to him to supervise. However online class is the only option available to us due to commute issue. We decided to give it a try anyway. So far I am very happy with the outcome: my son is glued to his lesson with Mr. McCalmon. His school teacher gives high review of his writings comparing the comment several months back. I noticed my son is confident in writing and really enjoys reading. What I like about IYE is their principal of teaching English fundamentals and how serious Nat is towards his service. I have used other reputable/popular writing tutors, all didn't work out. In one case the kid got too bored and refused to go to class any more. In another case the teach made kids hook up to the class but really didn't teach much. So I feel lucky one of school parents recommended IYE to me and it works well! Less

Our experience with IYE has been great, especially with Ms. Hillesland helping both of my middle school sons for last few years. She is very understanding about my sons’ needs and addresses the important parts instead of going through everything without pausing. In elementary school, one of my sons never read any fiction books, but with Ms. Hillesland, he now reads a wider variety of books. Whenever my son comes across an issue with his grammar, Ms. Hillesland will always work extensively to find materials and practices for my son to learn. One of my sons added his own feedback: " Mrs. Hillesland is very flexible and understanding of her students’ needs. If a student cannot make the class, he/she can set up an email lesson where the student emails the assignments and Mrs. Hillesland will correct it during the session time.The homework every week consists of a reading part, a writing part, grammar, and vocabulary. The reading assignment is always a story or book that stretches the student just enough. When the reading is hard, she makes sure that the student understands what happens in it and its themes. The writing assignments almost always consist of a summary of the assigned story or book chapter(s). If the student’s summary doesn’t flow well, she has the student use different sentence varieties. She helped correcting my habit of choppy sentences. The grammar teaching is from a diagramming book and extra grammar is included if necessary. The essay writing is mostly up to the student as to what to write about. As a professional fiction and nonfiction writer, Mrs. Hillesland can help any student in their writing." Less

When my child first started out, my child wasn't really good with language arts. He struggled with his grammar in his 4th-grade year. When a friend told us to enroll in Improve Your English and told us how good it is, we decided that we should give it a shot. Our first class went really well, and Daniel Hoshizaki was extremely nice to us and helped my child with his grammar. My child did not have a big vocabulary. So, Daniel gave my child 10 words a week to memorize, and my child's vocabulary expanded like never before. We HIGHLY recommend Daniel Hoshizaki at Improve Your English! Less

Mr. Crawford must have some kind of magic. :-) After every class, Mr. Crawford's follow-up/homework email comes shortly with all the details, not only to the student, but cc the parent too. His class covers vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing. So the improvement won't happen in a few weeks, but after one year or longer, I have seen a huge difference. My son has been with the service for a year and half, now with good score at school, and confidence in his literature class. Highly recommend! Less

I initially wanted both my daughter and son to take lessons at Improve Your English because my daughter’s best friend has taken the lesson with Nat Crawford for years and turns out to be quite advanced in reading and writing. However, Nat’s schedule was quite booked at that time so he was unable to take my daughter. In contrast, my son, a 5th grader, is very lucky to have Nat being his tutor since this April. My son is a talented boy who is good at STEM but is not very good at reading and writing. From the moment my son walked into Nat’s private lesson, Nat’s teaching methods won over my son. Nat helps him to improve his basic writing skills by asking him to read series of Oz books, summarize chapters and memorize vocabularies out from the books. Nat has also systematically taught vocabulary, grammar and reading. Nat has instilled positive values of reading in my son. I often heard he say after class “Nat is the best!”. I have spoken to other parents and realized that Nat is able to recognize each student’s difference and apply different approaches to work with individual student. We can’t wait to work with Nat for the next few years to help guide my son read classics literature works and build analytical ability for the essays. I highly recommend their tutoring service. Less

All 3 of my girls are in high school. They started tutoring with Improve Your English (IYL) for the last 2-3 years. They have been super lucky to have gotten JEANNIE as a tutor. She is absolutely amazing! My neighbor told me about IYL and her son having used it. He did very well with his SAT and also college entry essays. I first signed up my oldest daughter with Jeannie. I wanted to sign up my younger ones - but Jeannie wasn’t free at the times we needed. We tried another tutor at IYL but the connection wasn’t there. So we waited a year for JEANNIE as we only wanted her. With my oldest daughter, she has read classics and is now moving towards non fiction. JEANNIE has also given her many non fiction pieces that have been very interesting and they have analyzed them together. Whenever I show my daughters writing to people, they are blown away. My daughter has learned a lot Ofcourse, but it is the connection and the relationship with JEANNIE that brings out the best in her. For my younger daughters - they have also shown tremendous growth. Again that relationship with a JEANNIE has been key. My daughters have never even once complained that they didn’t want to do the class or do homework for the class. They do it by choice. They all do their classes on Skype which is very convenient. JEANNIE does vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, reading, writing and reading comprehension with all of my daughters. It is a comprehensive program which I love. HIGHLY RECOMMEND JEANNIE AT IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH! Less

We just had a great experience with Ms. Wendel at IYE. She helped my son improved his ACT score by 3 points in only 4 months! We are very lucky to get the help from her before my son’s junior year ends. The most important thing is that Ms. Wendel taught him test taking skills that we were looking for years for my son. My son took SAT and ACT boot camps at some other training organization before, but his SAT/ACT scores kept at the same level for almost two years without any improvement. After the disappointing test score from earlier this year, my son started ACT training with Ms. Wendel. It helped: my son got 3 point higher in his June ACT test than the one he took in February. We are very happy we found the right help at the right time! Less

I got Nat’s contact info less than two weeks before my daughter’s college application deadline. He set up sessions to review her essays almost right after I contacted him. Nat was very knowledgeable, professional, and meticulous. He knew exactly where the problems were and gave very effective advice on how to convey her true personality and thoughts. I felt my daughter learned more about writing from him in two weeks than from many years of public school English teaching. The parent who shared Nat’s info with me also strongly recommended him. It would be so wonderful if there were more teachers like him. Less

Both my son and daughter have been taking lessons at Improve Your English for many years. Both have made great progress in reading and writing. They have received very systematic training in vocabulary, grammar, reading classics literature works, and building their writing skills. They’re very lucky to have Nat Crawford being their tutor during the recent years. My daughter enjoys reading classics. Nat guides her to explore the English literature work by Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and other modern authors, and helps her to understand and analyze the characters and plots. She really enjoys working with Nat. My son, on the other hand, is kind of boy who is not very good at reading and writing. Nat helps him to improve his basic writing skills by practicing sentence variety exercise and doing many targeted writing practice, which prove to be effective. While my two kids are quite opposite in their reading and writing habits and skills, Nat is able to recognize their difference and apply different approaches to work with them individually. Both have learned a lot and been benefited from Nat’s tutoring. I highly recommend their tutoring service. Less
