I have recently begun tutoring with Julia to learn Italian. Thanks to WyzAnt I was able to find such a wonderful tutor. Julia is not only kind, knowledgable, but also patient and very professional. I would highly recommend her.
Stephanie D. from New Britain, CT
Julia was very accommodating, extremely knowledgeable, incredibly helpful, and super patient. She really understood what I was struggling with and worked with me to make sure I knew what she meant. She helped me not just pass the class, but to receive a B+! I would highly recommend her for anyone struggling with Italian!

We are so lucky to have Julia as our son's tutor. He has already shown so much improvement. She is very encouraging and my son looks forward to his French classes every week. Merci Julia!

Julia is an outstanding teacher. She presents the material in a way that is very conducive to learning a foreign language. There is structure in her lessons and she has patience plus openness in helping you to learn the material. Julia has a special gift for tutoring people in the challenges of trying to learn another language.
George K. from Hartford, CT
Julia is a very kind and reliable tutor. She was very helpful to my son, who struggled with math and reading. She had a calm and organized approach to the subject matter, making it seem less daunting. In a short period of time, she helped bring my son's grade up two levels. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Julia!

Raven B. from New Britain, CT
I started tutoring with Julia to help me with German class that I was struggling with. She was able to catch me up to the point where we where in class. She is very nice and always willing to help with what every you are struggling with, She recommend a excellent work book for us to go over, she always gives fair warning when she is has to cancel a session but will make it up during the week and always is flexible when it comes to rescheduling. In short she is a very excellent tutor and has taught me more in half a year then 3 years of Spanish in high school (10/10)

Julia has been great! Very helpful and patient with me. And has really worked with my schedule. Thanks Julia! She's a real asset to WyzAnt!
Kip D. from Torrington, CT
Julia is a true asset to the Wyzant, Inc. She is very easy to work with and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. She is very encouraging and truly has great patients. It's no wonder she has such a good track record with both WyzAnt and here students alike. I feel very comfortable working with her and hope to continue my relationship with her for a long while.

There is a timeless metaphor of the artist-and-the-clay, and in her genuinely nurturing way(s), she molds-forms-creates-and-brings out the potentialities of her students .... I am preparing for my next lesson with both enthusiasm and anticipation .... She is a superb educator.
Hannah E. from Naugatuck, CT
I am fluent already! Just kidding.. Julia is wicked cool, I look forward to continuing my German classes. She's very accommodating with my insane schedule and is patient during lessons. Highly recommend her as a tutor. Can't wait to say I can confidently speak German :)
Elaine S. from Ivoryton, CT
Julia has been teaching my teenage daughter beginning German so she can be ahead prior to college. She is a great instructor and very patient. My daughter never feels embarrassed or silly asking questions. She is learning speaking, reading and writing at a comfortable pace and really looks forward to her sessions. Julia is quick to respond by e-mail and phone.

Julia has been tutoring my teen son. She makes great use of the time and she knows how to relate to teens. He has fun during his session and looks forward to the next.
Jacqueline Z. from Northfield, CT
Great tutor! Easy to schedule and really patient. It's very helpful to practice with Julia after we cover new information and she gives me enough to study on my own without anything ever being overwhelming. She's very knowledgeable and you can tell she really loves teaching, nothing is ever rushed through and I really have fun learning German. Also very knowledgeable about the culture which is really fun to learn about.
Natalie P. from Watertown, CT
I was in search to learn German from a native speaker and Julia fit my criteria and more. She has a natural ability to teach languages. She's very persistent, patient, and makes learning the language fun. I'm more motivated, than ever, to work on my skills outside of the sessions. I will be studying in Germany for a few months and she has been nothing but helpful preparing me for it. I recommend anyone seeking to learn German (or any of the other languages she speaks) to go to Julia.
Greg W. from West Hartford, CT
Julia makes it fun and keeps everyone engaged during the lesson. The exercises are helpful and varied. We are taking lessons as a family and Julia works well with both kids and adults.
Andy W. from Plainville, CT
Julia Z. is fabulous. Julia is teaching me Portuguese to prepare me for a trip to Brazil later this year. The training materials (electronic and handouts) are spot on. She is on-time, flexible and communication is easy. She has the right mix of business only and get to know you chit chat. Can't wait for my next session.
Emily E. from Denver, CO
I have had two sessions with Julia so far via Skype and am very happy that I chose her as my tutor. Julia is very friendly and willing to work with my schedule. She has been prepared, willing to answer my multitude of questions, and has provided support by typing notes to me on Skype as well as suggesting some beneficial outside resources. I look forward to more sessions with her!
