Fabia

Hongjae J. from Berkeley, CA

I decided to learn from Fabia because my friend recommended her to me. I think it was a great choice. Before having lessons with Fabia, my writing wasn't clear, so I had to revise my writing several times to make it clear. However, after learning from Fabia I became confident with my writing, and I could easily write a decent essay. In my classes, I get great scores from teachers. I personally think that Fabia is a great choice to improve your writing.

Torrey N. from San Leandro, CA

I had been away from class for several weeks due to work, and Fabia was able to get me right back on track with her patience and great attitude. Although I'm new to Spanish, she made me feel like an old pro. Great lesson.

Michele K. from San Francisco, CA

Fabia has provided very patient and focused attention to help me improve my Spanish language speaking skills. She packs a lot of great information and instruction into our hourly sessions and gives targeted homework assignments to reinforce each lesson. I'm making great progress and would most highly recommend her.

Olivia H. from Redwood City, CA

I am so lucky to be taught by Fabia. I have never felt such confidence in writing until I met her. Fabia is patient, very knowledgeable, and is culturally competent. I give her my highest recommendation!

Alice H. from San Carlos, CA

My daughter and I both liked and valued Fabia as a teacher and mentor! We needed tutoring in French, for school, and Italian for a study abroad program my daughter was going on; Fabia was the perfect tutor to guide my daughter. She also helped with advise on gifts for the host family and behavior. The best part, in my humble opinion, was that Fabia could meet via Skype! I didn't have to drive my daughter to a secession, we were on vacation and didn't have to miss a session, it was great! Thank you Fabia.

Cherry H. from Berkeley, CA

Fabia is very fast at responding and very responsible for students' works. She gives great suggestions and tips. She is also super friendly and easy to reach.

Julie H. from San Francisco, CA

I adored meeting with Fabia! We met twice a week for the past 3 months. First of all, she is a very qualified tutor. I chose her especially because of her phonetics qualifications. She masters the English language like nobody else and is able to give you an explanation about everything (grammar rules/word roots) in a very clear and simple way. Even though I studied English for many years at school, I have the feeling that Fabia have helped me much more in a few months. She is very patient and open. She would always bring articles or list of words that we could work on together, but was also completely flexible if I needed to work on something special. The last but not the least, she is a lovely and very dynamic person and she greeted me with a beautiful smile at every lesson! I already miss her and definitely recommend her.

Jennifer W. from Fremont, CA

Fabia is an experienced tutor; she is able to pinpoint my problems in writing quickly through my speaking and writing samples. During the process of working with her, I always felt comfortable and relaxed, since she usually provided some positive comments before we waded through all my problems. Her explanation on how to differ and use certain words were very clear and impressive. She often clarified confusing word uses with interesting examples. She is a great teacher.

SALLY P. from El Cerrito, CA

Fabia is a great tutor! She speaks several languages, and I am really psyched about learning Spanish from her. She gave me some fun home work assignments (watching Water for Chocolate and Biutiful), and she is willing to work with my friend, who also wants to go to Spanish Immersion school in Mexico. Fabia's pace is just perfect, and I gained a ton of knowledge in our first lesson. I highly recommend Fabia! After quite a few lessons with Fabia, I also highly recommend her for her ability to teach computer skills. She has helped me improve my skills greatly. She is extremely knowledgeable about computers and computer skills. She goes at just the right pace and repeats stuff often enough to make it easy to learn. You will be glad you hired her!

Mia L. from San Leandro, CA

Fabia is a gem! She's is very thorough and even incorporates very detailed grammar into the lesson. Her personality is very friendly yet professional. She's very open to questions and has the answer for you right away. I am very pleased that out of nearly 62,000 tutors, I was blessed with Fabia. Thank you.

Bob S. from Sacramento, CA

Fabia listens raptly. She corrects gently. And when a morsel of French is spoken approximately, zut!, she beams like a proud maman! Fabia unmangled my accent, introduced me to très cool French singers like Georges Brassens and Maxime le Forestier, and, overall, deepened my love and appreciation for French literature. One of her many strengths is her abiding belief that language is culture. It's the best approach.

Sophie M. from Shingle Springs, CA

Fabia is not only an amazing tutor but she's also fun. Every lesson I have had with her has been informative and interesting. The time flies when you are with Fabia! She is patient and kind and you always feel comfortable. She answers all your questions and makes sure that you actually understand what she's teaching. I have seen huge improvements in my French since starting tutoring with Fabia and I have only had three lessons so far. If French is what you need help with then I highly recommend Fabia. Exceptional tutoring for a great price!

Maria Y. from San Francisco, CA

I had some problems with French. Thanks to Fabia these problems are solved little by little. She sees what you need, where to put the most attention for understanding the language. Lessons are not boring but interesting and useful. I am very happy to have Fabia as my tutor.

Dell R. from Oakland, CA

Fabia has helped me with three college level essay writing assignments. She provided excellent input and feedback for my drafts. She has many ideas and strong oral and written communication skills. Her suggestions have helped me improve my writing skills. She is prompt, flexible and quickly reviews drafts in a timely manner. I learned a great deal from discussions with her, she is an excellent tutor, very insightful and does a great job enhancing and improving my words to make the essay sound better.

Barbara D. from Fremont, CA

Fabia is not only a brilliant linguist, she is a gifted and wonderfully inventive teacher. She has a well thought out approach to language acquisition, and provides a flexible framework for individualized self-learning, which is the best thing a tutor has to offer. While I have no natural facility with languages, I am learning Italian in spite of myself. I recommend Fabia F with great enthusiasm.

Amy M. from Oakland, CA

She has been tutoring my sixteen year old daughter in French this whole semester. My daughter was having a lot of trouble in her French class, and she was very discouraged. She couldn't change classes, and she was telling me that she "hated French." After only a couple of lessons with Fabia, my daughter was telling me that she loved French. Fabia is very upbeat and motivating while she explains how the language is structured and spoken. She gave my daughter an understanding of the language that was missing in her classes. This helped her remember her lessons and improve her grade. I highly recommend Fabia.

Todd O. from Dublin, CA

As a single father, my time is extremely limited. Fabia's flexibility to meet and teach over Skype was quite beneficial to me.

Jessica A. from Alamo, CA

Elle est magnifique! I look forward to her teaching me. The hour goes by so quickly. It's not only fun but opening me up to a whole new world of thoughts - all through the power of language! Brava!

Jenny W. from Danville, CA

I enjoyed my first lesson. She helped me correct my Spanish words correctly. I already have a fun assignment due next week!

Gat H. from Sunnyvale, CA

She shaped my writing and helped me to pay attention to my errors pattern. Moreover, she suggested ways to learn how to improve the writing.

Yi-Jui C. from Berkeley, CA

Fabia has been my English writing tutor for more than three years. She is a very patient and responsible tutor. She adjusts her lessons based on my needs. She replies to her emails normally within 4 hours. This makes me feel safe and secure. I don’t have to worry that my tutor might go missing when I need her most. When I discuss my English writing with her, I feel very comfortable, because she corrects my grammatical mistakes with a kind tone and explains the grammatical rules to me clearly. In addition to her warm and responsible personality, since she has a rich background in linguistics, learning theories, and pedagogy, she is very good at explaining the grammatical rules and word patterns. When necessary, she interprets the meaning of the sentence I wrote and checks with me whether this is what I meant. This makes the writing lessons very powerful and effective. I am an English as a foreign language learner. Before I met Fabia, I was often confused with English syntax and grammar. Often, I was not realized that I misunderstood the meanings of words. Fabia used multiples ways to help me overcome this challenge. Now, I feel writing English is not as challenging as three years ago. Fabia, thank you so much! You are truly a wonderful teacher!

Jared W. from Danville, CA

I contacted Ms. Fabia to help with preparing me for the SAT Spanish subject test. Originally, I had been very nervous about this test, as I was hesitant about my Spanish abilities. However, from the get-go, I felt very comfortable working with her. From reviewing reading comprehension to focusing on pronunciation and fluency, I felt more confident after each lesson. I just recently took the subject test, and after only a summer working with her, I felt very comfortable with the material. I know that she has greatly helped me with preparing for the test and in addition, has instilled in me a love for Spanish.

Amanda G. from Dayton, OH

Awesome, only 1st lesson so far but very great experience. She is incredibly insightful and tailors the class to my specific needs. Can't wait for more :).

Stephanie B. from Los Angeles, CA

Fabia taught me a lot about my essay topic, and I liked her teaching style because she was patient and knowledgeable.

Hema S. from Los Altos, CA

It was my first lesson with Fabia, but she was already so helpful in teaching me the French language. I highly suggest taking many lessons from her, constantly reliable and aware of her students needs, she is a perfect tutor for those who really want to learn their subject well.

Debbie R. from Gaylord, MI

Thank you! Fabia helped Kate work through issues that are very difficult to figure out in an online class. She is thrilled with the help Fabia was able to provide!

Molly R. from Oxford, MS

She is great! She teaches you short cuts, and fun new ways to look at learning language. She makes it easy, and fun to grasp.

Steven S. from Rockford, IL

We started with proper pronunciation, enunciating vowels, and words. She explained some very basic phonetic and vocabulary rules which was very helpful. She set up "rules" which will help make me a stronger speaker and writer. We set up my computer so my keyboard will allow me to type properly in several languages, very helpful. Finally, we worked on some necessary vowels, and a homework assignment. I am very excited and optimistic that Fabia will be fabulosso!

Barbara P. from Pelham, NY

Fabia is an enthusiastic teacher and very helpful. It is a pleasure to learn all aspects of a language with Fabia. I can't wait for the next lesson.

Cynthia E. from Windsor, CO

Fabia has been tutoring my 16 year old daughter who is taking a college level Spanish class. Since beginning her lessons, my daughter seems more confident regarding her class and enjoys learning from Fabia.

Maria T. from Burbank, CA

Fabia is very attentive to correct my speech and my texts. She is very friendly and has a high knowledge in languages. I already had 5 classes with her and I’m refining my writing and my speech very well.

Meredith S. from Mc Gregor, TX

She was engaging and creative and prepared with material. My kids had a great time. We cannot wait until the next session!
