Marylou is terrific. She is patient and kind and really knows how to teach. I am enjoying my lessons and have improved considerably.
Alfred B. from La Canada Flintridge, CA
Mrs. Marylou has been very patient with my son during the course of reviewing his college homework and assignments and has also demonstrated a great deal of professionalism in handling and guiding him in that direction. She is continually preparing him to make progress and achieve the maximum results when completing his grades.

I went into the search for a German language teacher with much angst. Ms. P. was just the ticket. Like I have said before I dreaded this whole thing until I met her. And now I can't wait for each lesson. And now as I see it I will be competently and fluently speaking conversational German within a year or two. I like the large "50-cent words" in German too. I hope to be able to translate those as I want to go further with this schooling and learn engineering and technological words too. And she has been much help in that direction also. Now to get down to the homework during this holiday season. It's really fun I can tell you.

Words can't describe how much we love Marylou. She's delightful, knowledgeable, patient, and so nurturing. She motivates my son and is a pleasure to have in our home. She brings piano to life and makes it meaningful - even when it comes to composing songs with my son!
Caroline M. from La Crescenta, CA
I am speaking on behalf of my daughter. I don't speak/understand German myself. However, so far at our first meeting, she imparted some valuable knowledge about German to my 15-year old daughter. She inspired my daughter to say again, "I love German", and she also inspired my daughter to say, "Thank you, Mom, for finding Marylou". She didn't want a tutor, but she has been frustrated with her German class and feeling like her questions go unanswered in her large public school. Marylou, I believe, is the knowledgeable, enthusiastic, kind and patient sort of professional we need to assist my daughter in regaining her enthusiasm for German and for getting on the right track in terms of really understanding the German language. Two thumbs up.
