Marcia

Lola P. from Duluth, GA

For my short-term research trip to Brazil, I connected with Marcia to help provide me with a bird's eye view of the Portuguese language and Brazilian culture. She was the perfect fit: a native Brazilian with a linguist background that could provide language in the cultural context. She is also very responsive to e-mail and helpful with suggestions on textbooks even before you start any lessons. Prompt, flexible, and warm are other words I would use to describe Marcia. Although we only have five lessons together, I feel confident in my ability to navigate Brazil as a short-term tourist, thanks to her!

Marcia helped me to become conversational in Spanish. I had been studying Spanish for 2 years and had developed basic reading and writing skills but I was not developing any listening and speaking skills. My job required that I travel to Mexico to present our product to potential partners. After 5 months of lessons with Senora Marcia, I was comfortable making a product presentation in Spanish and answering basic questions about our product. I was delighted with the results. Senora Marcia’s approach was to get me very comfortable answering basic questions in Spanish so that I stop translating. We added more and more to the basic answers to the point where I was saying complete sentences without translating. Senora Marcia’s background and training in linguistics shows in her overall approach. She clearly understands how languages are learned and she used that understanding to push me into answering questions and thinking in Spanish. I am delighted with the result and recommend Senora Marcia to any business professional who is serious about becoming conversational in Spanish.

My son had his first session with Marcia one week ago and she was fabulous! My son initially was skeptical about the tutoring but soon looked forward to the sessions. She was fun and knowledgeable. I am most impressed, however, with how personable and patient she is with my son. This comes as no surprise because Marcia's credentials are quite impressive. I’m confident that Marcia will help my son overcome his challenges with writing and English and hopefully regain his love for writing. I highly recommend this tutor!!

Marcia has been tutoring my wife in an effort to prepare her for a Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary Test she needs to take for future employment. English being a second language for my wife, it was very important for us to find the very best tutor for her - one full of patience, knowledge, and practical and effective strategies. Marcia provides all these things and is extremely flexible in terms of subjects that my wife wants to cover and in terms of her schedule. What I like most is not just that my wife feels extremely comfortable with Marcia, but also that Marcia provides a detailed overview of my wife's progress during each lesson, the skills he is improving in, the topics that require more attention, and her strategy for future lessons. This allows me to figure out the best way to help my wife study between lessons. My wife's confidence has shot through the roof, and her improvement is very noticeable. Marcia's approach is very technical, calm, and it makes perfect sense!

I am so pleased with my daughter's progress since she's been working with Marcia. Marcia is truly a master at what she does.

Marcia is just an amazing tutor. My son, who was an ESL student, has improved his English and also he is very motivated with Marcia. I, as a mother, feel like I can talk to her and ask her about my son's academics strengths and weaknesses. She is the kind of tutor who cares about the student. She is just perfect. Also, she speaks perfect different languages and for parents with ESL children make her the perfect tutor that you will never regret.

Marcia is a very good tutor. She has a multi cultural experience, and she also speaks several foreign languages. For this reason, she is an excellent tutor for ESL/ESOL students, but not only for them. With Marcia, every dedicated student will make progress. Studying English as a second language, is not any more a tough obligation, it's become a pleasure.

Ms. Marcia has been such an incredible help in Spanish tutoring. This past semester was my final semester of my undergraduate career, and in order to graduate I needed to fulfill an advanced level Spanish course. Foreign language has never been my strong suit, and that was incredibly apparent after my first test and first failing grade ever in my collegiate career. My professor told me there was no hope of my graduating or passing this course, and that I should seriously consider dropping the course all together. However, I did a bit of research and found Ms. Marcia through Wyzant, and I couldn't have made a better decision by choosing her as my tutor. She is incredibly fluent in several different languages, and grammar is her specialty. She was able to help me understand Spanish in a different way, and I was not only able to pass Spanish with a B+, but I was able to graduate from GSU Cum Laude, and with other honors. If you are looking for a tutor in just about any language, Ms. Marcia is the right choice.

Alizah W. from Lilburn, GA

My son has been struggling with his first year of French in high school. After only one session with Marcia his confidence has grown significantly and he's excited for more. Have you ever heard of a kids ask "Do I have to stop my tutoring sessions when school ends?"

Ali B. from Porterdale, GA

I have been doing Spanish tutoring with Marcia for about 8 months and I am so happy with the progress I have made! I started out with zero Spanish experience, but now feel like I have the skills to navigate a Spanish speaking country. Marcia has not only taught me about the language, but also about Latino culture, both of which will be immensely helpful when I move to Guatemala later this year. Marcia is unbelievably knowledgeable and patient. She provides great study resources, and also great company. I always look forward to our tutoring sessions because they are both productive and fun. I can now go to Guatemala with confidence thanks to her!
