Cheri

Naoko S. from New York, NY

I had been taking her tutoring classes almost for 3 months. We discussed about what I needed to learn from her and how we could approach to my goal at the initiation class. I offered her to have one hour class every week. My main goals were to improve my writing skills and pronunciation, and understand the Wall Street Journal. It won't be easy and couldn't be completed in only three months. However, you might get many ideas how to achieve your goals while you are studying with her. I think that one of the important things is you really need to be honest with her and if you don't understand, you need to express that and if you have any better ideas or concerns, you need to speak out. Then she always listens carefully and adjusts the direction flexibly. We had changed our class subjects case by case. She has many experiences at teaching and it is not her side business or easy-money-making stuff. She cares about your improvements sincerely and gives you a lot of confidence.

Cheri is patient, dedicated and reliable. She has been helping my son with writing since May. His writing skills have improved noticeably since then. He is more confident in writing than ever before.

Cheri is very patient and challenges my daughter (15 years old) to analyze writing responses in Greek mythology. She also helped her in grammar and vocabulary development for preparation of SAT. For my son (11 years old), she is working with him on ELA common core standards and how to respond to short essays. She is also helping him in grammar and vocabulary development. Both of my children love to work with Cheri. She has been working with them for several months, and I see a lot of improvement in their writing.

It’s been a pleasure working with Cheri with my writing skills and basic grammar. She doesn't make me feel uncomfortable or judge me if I don’t know or understand the topic. Instead, she would encourage me. She is very patient when I ask her to repeat the topic to further understand the concept of grammar. She is always willing to compromise with my schedule. I would highly recommend Cheri as a tutor.

Cheri tutored my 70-year old uncle in improving his English. He had learned English in school and had used it sometimes in the work environment but he was not comfortable conversing and was conscious of making mistakes while writing. Cheri tutored him diligently. She used a variety of techniques including conversations, writing exercises and grammar references. By the end of his 4-5 month engagement in her weekly lessons his confidence and enjoyment of speaking English had greatly improved. In addition, we found a friend in Cheri who is naturally curious about our culture and even tried some of our food in an attempt to get to know us better. Overall we had a great experience with Cheri and would definitely use her in the future!

Riccardo C. from Forest Hills, NY

Cheri has been teaching to my nice and nephew for 3 weeks and she has done an outstanding job. I was stupefied by the amount of creativity she pours into her job and her ability to keep calm and smooth even when the scholars are not responding as much! As a matter or fact, they don't really speak English being 12 years old and Italian, they only studied some English at school but speaking it is a very different thing. So I can only imagine how getting anything out of them must feel like! Well, great job Cheri. Even the kids were progressively falling in love and having fun with your teaching methods! Best, Riccardo.

Marcelo S. from New York, NY

Cheri is an excellent writing tutor. She is very patient and understanding and works with the student every step of the way to make sure he/she fully understands what is being taught. I particularly like the way that she interacts with students. Every meeting, we go over the lesson and she explains the use of vocabulary and corrects any grammar errors. I notice that she always takes notes and is always willing to help me by clarifying any question that I might have. I highly recommend her.

Tina M. from New York, NY

Cheri is excellent! It has only been a few weeks and I can already see a great improvement in our 9yr old girl that Cheri has been tutoring. The lessons are fun but very effective, our girl is at ease with Cheri and enjoys every session of tutoring with her so much that she asked for the sessions to be longer. Cheri has helped her improve in spelling, writing and all aspects of ELA. We look forward to working with Cheri. After our summer break, we plan to have her tutor our girl throughout the upcoming school year, as we have found Cheri's tutoring to be a method that gets great results, with great focus on having the child be happy while learning. Best decision ever, choosing Cheri.

Bernardita S. from New York, NY

She is very responsible and everyday she is very punctual. I enjoyed Cheri's class because she is concerned with helping me from the first lesson. She is a very optimistic and funny person. She has many stories and I can talk to her for a long time.

Somansu D. from New York, NY

Cheri is kind, generous and has a great understanding of children. She is very attentive to detail and has been very good at developing the learning skills of my daughter in a very short period of time. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Tibizay M. from Bronx, NY

She is the most patient, caring human being I ever met. My son is learning tremendously. My family is really glad with her tutoring. She is the best.

Aki S. from New York, NY

Ms. Cheri always listens to me carefully, and She gives me study resources, advice and reflections related to my requests. She is polite and friendly, but she has never been just a conversational partner. Her advice is rational, educated and informative, so it motivates me to study more. I don't feel nervous about making mistakes in front of her and it is easy to ask her about questions that I can't ask other people. I appreciate her and I want to study with her as long as I need a tutor.

Highlyann K. from Brooklyn, NY

Cheri was a wonderful tutor to my 2nd grader and my 4th grader alike. They had some issues with writing, spelling and grammar. Cheri was patient, kind and she improved their level of writing significantly. I would highly recommend her as a tutor.

Kyungmi C. from Woodside, NY

I highly recommend Cheri. Cheri is very helpful and very good tutor. She helped tutor my son for his writing of NY state test. My son is looking forward to next time with Cheri Z.

Boris Z. from New York, NY

Cheri has been a tutor for our son Boris, who is a 6 grade student, for over two months since September 2015. Our family has just moved from Europe and Boris needed help to improve his English which is not his mother tongue. We were happy to have Cheri taking care of our son. She is very professional, has a clear vision of what she is doing and is extremely well organised which is important for our son who is not always well structures. Cheri made lessons not only useful but really interesting and sometimes even fun. We will be going soon to Europe for the New Year holidays and hope that when we return to NY Boris will continue to benefit from new lessons with his wonderful teacher Cheri.

JC S. from New York, NY

Cheri was very helpful with our son´s homework. She is a very patient and calm tutor that took the time to adapt to my son´s academic level. I highly recommend Cheri.

Carrie Hayan C. from New York, NY

I have been in New York for several years working and studying. And I always wanted to have a tutor to pull my English to the next level. I got to know Wyzant online and searched my tutor who could fit me. And I found Cheri. Cheri helped me to improve my English in many ways: we met once a week and went through New York Times article, pronounciation, my resume and etc. She is very patient and has a good heart, I learned a lot from her and it helped my English communication skill a lot. Thanks Cheri and look forward to meeting you soon!

Lisa L. from New York, NY

Once a week, Cheri comes to the house to help my 11-year old son with his homework, especially writing and she is always upbeat and able to focus his attention on the task at hand. She is smart, patient, kind and good and never fails to get him through the homework, carefully honing his own skillset so that one day he will be able to get through the work on his own. We all appreciate everything she brings to the table. She is a really great tutor.
