Greg M. from Indianapolis, IN

We've just begun lessons for our son and I'm impressed with Mariana's enthusiasm and adaptability to the student. I'm looking forward to the progress our son will be making in the months ahead.

Jamie K. from Indianapolis, IN

Mariana has been a wonderful tutor. She is very passionate about her student's success. She is very empowering, honest, and encouraging to her students. She is a true teacher at heart and has infectious optimism. We are very thankful for her services.

Norah H. from Streetsboro, OH

Mariana agreed to take me in on a short notice and helped me with my homework in an online session. She was very professional and pleasant to work with. She not just helped me with my assignment, but also explained every grammar piece. She pays attention to details, to pronunciation. She truly cares for all her students! She is very smart and I'm sure I'll always will study with her online.

Joe W. from Indianapolis, IN

I came to Mariana just about a year ago so I wouldn't forget all the Bulgarian grammar I had once learned. She has been patient, encouraging and understanding with my sometimes slow progress, and engaging at other instances when things seemed to come easier for me. She has been very flexible with my scheduling conflicts and time constraints. I would highly recommend her and her tutoring style to anyone who is serious about learning.

Bryan N. from Indianapolis, IN

Mariana is one of the best tutors I have ever used for my son's education. She was attentive, responsive, and completely professional when it came to my son's educational needs. I highly recommend Mariana to anyone who needs a tutor, you will not be disappointed.

Lisa S. from Indianapolis, IN

My son studied Psychology twice a week with Mariana for about a month and a half. His grade for the midterm in the class was an F. He earned an A on his Final Exam! Thank you, Mariana!

Jonah V. from Greenwood, IN

Mariana helped me in many different categories from word memorization, flash cards, continuing support and motivation. She suggested different studying techniques for my my etymology class, and prevented me from failing by bringing my grade up to a B!

Steven S. from Columbus, IN

My daughter provided excellent feedback on the session including patience and appreciating the different ways of explaining the math until she understood. She is becoming less and less intimidated.

Debra C. from Indianapolis, IN

Our first meeting Mariana was thorough with evaluation. My daughter was comfortable and eager to learn. I look forward to future lessons.

Ashlee B. from Indianapolis, IN

Mariana is an excellent tutor who has been meeting both of my children's needs in such a short period of time. I have seen great progress in both of my children's studies and Mariana has only been working with them for a few short weeks. She's creative with the learning process and engages with my children very well. She's just not a tutor, she's an educator who is sincere about her student's progress.

CHIARA C. from Indianapolis, IN

Mariana is a very good English teacher. In the beginning my English was limited – I had studied English in school in Italy, but it was years ago and I hadn’t practiced it. I spent a few months in Indianapolis and I wanted to use this time to improve my speaking skills. With Mariana’s help things are changing. I understand better than at first, I speak more fluently, and I feel more confident. I'm glad Mariana is my tutor because she considers my individual weaknesses and she corrects me, so I can learn the right way. I was hesitant at first because she doesn’t speak Italian, but I liked her from the first time because I felt I could trust her.

Thamara A. from Greenwood, IN

We like working with Mariana, we see great improvement and love her lessons! Mariana works on solid foundations so you can learn a language the right way. She cares about right pronunciation and correct grammar. I recommend learing with Mariana

Elizabeth R. from Greenwood, IN

She is really good good teacher, patient, and she prepares her class really well. Thank you so much for all you help.

Diana C. from Greenwood, IN

Mariana is a wonderful Russian teacher for my daughter. She is energetic and so helpful. She puts a lot of fun into her lessons. I love how she always shares with me what they have done during the lesson. She is a positive influence for my daughter!

AMAL A. from Indianapolis, IN

Learning with Mariana is more like an adventure than anything else. The adventurous part was our conversations about the interesting differences in different cultures. In addition, she was a very nice and patient tutor. She talked to me and found out what I wanted to focus on in my sessions. Mariana has a lovely character and a cool sense of humor. She also suggested books and ways to continue my learning trip after our sessions ended. I have really shown improvement after each session.

Sabrina Y. from Indianapolis, IN

My 5 year old really likes his new tutor and I feel blessed to have found her. Mariana is exploring his high ability and opening new doors for him.

MICHAEL M. from Beech Grove, IN

I just want to say thank you so very much, Mariana, for taking me on as a student! You are truly a God sent for people like me who want to get GED and to better their lives. I know that we have a lot to cover, but I know that God always puts the right people when we need them. My life as a child was tough and I dropped out of school in 9th grade. Ever since then I have been struggling. I always wanted to go back to school, but was always scared of failure. When I finally decided to look for a tutor, I read your profile and I knew that I shouldn't be afraid anymore. You met me at my level of knowledge, and explained everything in a way that was so easy to comprehend. Language Arts (reading and writing), science and math turned out to be awesome. I didn't know that learning could be so amazing! When difficult concepts are broken down to small pieces they seem to be easy to understand and I find myself enjoying my study time; every time! I already feel so different – I know so much more already! You are such an amazing person and a great teacher, and in these short months you let me feel comfortable being myself, as if I have known you much longer. For first time in my life I have a hope that I can get somewhere! I know I will get my GED, and I know I am making a big difference in my life. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for taking this journey with me!

Yuli Y. from Bloomington, IN

Working with Mariana was great. She is very detailed, catching even my minor mistakes to help me improve my English. She gave me very useful homework assignments, which helped me with my grammar especially. We had a lot of fun together in our tutoring sessions - I never knew how fun it could be to work on grammar, vocabulary and learning how to write essays. My writing skills increased quite a bit from working with Mariana. She helped me express my feelings and opinions better in writing, which is an important skill in general and also important for me in particular as I was preparing for the GED. Mariana is a great tutor who I highly recommend. In addition to being a great tutor, Mariana was also always very easy to get in touch with on the phone and was flexible a couple times when I needed to reschedule our appointments. Overall, a very positive experience. Thanks, Mariana for all the help!

Scott L. from Indianapolis, IN

My daughter has been attending sessions with Mariana twice a week this summer and has shown excellent improvement in her skills and confidence in mathematics. I am impressed.

Emily N. from Indianapolis, IN

About 5 months ago I began studying Russian with Mariana. Undeterred by my complete lack of prior experience in the language, Mariana provided the vision, direction and constant encouragement to begin my journey in Russian from scratch. One of the things that has impressed me most about Mariana is her commitment to preparation for every lesson. She nearly always has more material prepared than we can cover! I know this preparation takes a considerable amount of time and it really pays off during our lessons where we cover a well integrated range of vocabulary, grammar, culture, reading and speaking practice. She is also extremely patient and never discouraged if it takes me a little longer to grasp certain concepts. On more than one occasion after a particularly challenging lesson Mariana has provided additional exercises and instruction on the topic during subsequent lessons until I finally feel comfortable with the subject matter. Mariana is also a constant cheerleader! Whenever I feel discouraged she always has a positive reminder and is quick to point out areas where she sees improvement. She is always upbeat for every lesson and some days I think Mariana is even more excited about me learning Russian than I am! :-) Additionally, Mariana has been able to develop and help keep my focus on the long term goals. It can be easy to get lost in the daily grammar and reading challenges, but Mariana seems to have a plan for ultimately getting me to my final destination of speaking Russian. Her focus gives me the confidence to keep studying! I have and will continue to recommend Mariana to any student interested in studying Russian!

Terry C. from Edinburgh, IN

Our grandson had only a few sessions with Mariana, and this feedback is overdue. He needed some help with test taking techniques. Thanks to her extensive experience, she also determined the need to help him build-up more self-confidence. Her powerful motivational words, her genuine care and support were impressive. My wife and I both agreed that her professionalism and attention to detail are remarkable. For us, every time we met her was like taking a pause in this world. She is the most intelligent lady I know, and we are very happy we had the chance to have her as our grandson's tutor. Thanks Again!

Theresa L. from Indianapolis, IN

Confidence! Mariana is a genuine and caring tutor. She loves to educate and makes the best effort to get to know the child and work to his/her strengths. Very smart approach. After two sessions my stepdaughter's confidence has really been boosted! She has now started talking about fractions at the dinner table! Before she would shy away from the subject. Very encouraging. Thank you, Mariana!

Sandy C. from Greenwood, IN

Mariana is very patient and extremely knowledgeable. She is also very encouraging and has helped me to love math! I am an older student, I needed to pass a pre-employment math assessment test which included algebra 1 type problems or I wouldn't get the job. I thought it was too late for me to learn algebra but with Mariana's help I did and she made learning easy for me. I passed!

Ria K. from Indianapolis, IN

Within the first two weeks of being tutored by Mariana S. My grades in both Algebra and Biology changed by a whole letter grade. I went from having Cs in my classes to now having B pluses. She is great to work with and is very good at helping me through the subjects when I don't understand something.

David B. from Indianapolis, IN

Mariana, you continue to bless us both. My wife is so happy to have "you" as her teacher. She speaks very highly of you and in her opinion, you are tops! I feel the same way, we could not ask for any better. Keep up the good work and thanks for giving my wife the opportunity to learn English on a professional level.

Dave L. from Greenwood, IN

Our son is an 8th grader who has been diagnosed with ADD. When talking with him, it's obvious that he is smarter than what his grades reflected. He struggles with focus and the motivation needed to complete homework or to study. Mariana has been extremely helpful with him, in all of his subjects. She is well versed in math, science, and in English. She has taught our son strategies and alternate approaches to writing, algebra, completing assignments and reading for key points and themes. In addition, she has been an education advocate to him, teaching him both that he can do the work and why it is important. We are seeing improvement in our son's grades and will continue to work with Mariana.

Cheryl M. from Zionsville, IN

I love that Mariana is willing to teach me about the Bulgarian culture as well as the language. I believe the two go hand-in-hand. She's also very good about trying to accommodate my schedule. I appreciate that and it makes these lessons possible. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a language tutor.

Charita R. from Indianapolis, IN

I just wanted to take the time and say that Mariana is an excellent tutor. My daughter's Algebra grade is making a significant come up and all thanks goes to Mariana.

Eriko O. from Greenwood, IN

Mariana is wonderful teacher. The way she teaches is always passionate, which makes me think studying is comfortable. Also she rose my self confidence which helped me both speaking and writing in English. Lastly, she is a wonderful teacher whom I cannot explain in any other words. She is the best. And dear Mariana, Thank you so much I am really happy because I choose you as a my tutor.

Arthur R. from Indianapolis, IN

Mariana is a very good hard working teacher. She gives good feedback and is very detailed. I've enjoyed working with her.

Lei Z. from Indianapolis, IN

Mariana is a very patient and wonderful tutor. She always can know what I wanted. I got a big progress in my pronunciation. I really enjoyed the study time with her.

Neitra O. from Indianapolis, IN

When we first approached Marianna regarding Math Tutoring for our son, he was failing Math and was having a hard time understanding basic Math Facts. However, Marianna has an uncanny ability to make anyone understand any subject. She is a naturally gifted teacher and leader, and our son has shown major improvement with understanding the math skills needed to succeed in just the 2 months we have been with her. Marianna has a wonderful rapport with people of all ages, especially children. Her ability to connect with our son and her talent at teaching simple concepts, as well as more advanced topics, are both truly superior. She accomplishes these tasks with great initiative and with a very positive attitude. I recommend Marianna to you without any reservation.

Philip W. from Bloomington, IN

Mariana is very patient with my boy. She not only teaches and explains him textbook, but also try to motivate him. Ask him why study the subject, what's the motivation. She let my boy think it over by himself. Her method is to wake the learning heart of student instead of just talking about the material. She is a good teacher.

Boaz R. from Indianapolis, IN

I like the style of teaching. We went over grammar and did some practice. She helped me understand the differences between adverbs and adjectives.

Mike B. from Pompano Beach, FL

Mariana was very detailed and patient. She made the material we were covering fun! I will definitely use her again.

Seth N. from Los Angeles, CA

Bulgarian. Very cheerful and helpful. Excellent grasp of how to teach languages. She is fully dedicated to tutoring and is a really nice person.

Kyli M. from Indianapolis, IN

Working on math skills, and writing skills, very descriptive in lessons and gives good feedback to encourage child to improve.

Chika O. from Indianapolis, IN

Reading and mathematics. My little one is on top of her work. She has made her get used to reading and doing work.

Jin L. from Las Vegas, NV

Thanks to Mariana, my test score improved significantly! The way she explains grammar makes everything seem easy to comprehend and remember. She breaks down every complex concept until I get every bit of it. My speaking and writing skills are much better now and I feel excited about becoming a college student this fall. I know that I will rely on her professional services for proofreading and editing my college papers.

Ashley J. from Indianapolis, IN

Times tables, provides a sheet of facts that I can use for practice. Explained things so they are easy. Feel more comfortable with the subject.

Lakisha F. from Covington, GA

Mariana just started working with my daughter last week. Already, we are seeing that my daughter's attitude towards math is starting to change. She's more interested in it now. Although we've just started with her, I already know that I've chosen the right tutor for my daughter. We plan on being with her throughout the rest of elementary school and into middle and high school.

Aaron K. from Indianapolis, IN

Last week was my first experience with Mariana. I had a positive experience and we worked through a plan to make a difference in my writing and editing skills. I will go back today for lesson two. Happy so far.

Junior W. from San Jose, CA

Dee F. from Indianapolis, IN

This was my initial session with Ms. S. and it was great. The anxiety that comes with the unknown was wasted energy on my part because I was very pleased and was made to feel comfortable during the session. I am looking forward to more great sessions and great knowledge from Ms. S. An awesome choice!

Julie B. from Indianapolis, IN

Continued to assess gaps in my sons learning. Impressed with content of lesson and receiving thorough review of lesson.

Dionne R. from Hollywood, FL

My 10 year old is very excited about her tutoring lessons. Mariana went over an assignment that was new to her. The next day in school that lesson was taught. She raised her hands to answer all the questions. Her teacher was very impressed with her knowledge. It was awesome for her self confidence. She's excited for her tutoring lessons. Thanks Mariana!

Randy M. from Indianapolis, IN

Mariana keeps us very informed about the progress of our student. We like the facts she provides, along with the future plan.

She has helped me take my essay's to the next level. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with essay's and proofreading.

Arkadiy S. from New York, NY

I'm an international student; when i visited Indiana I decided to take private lessons with Mariana to prepare for TOEFL. She not just helped me to improve my English grammar, speaking and writing skills but gave me certain techniques (I've never heard before them) how to go through my exam. I recommend Mariana for everyone! Thank you!
