Testimonials

As international enrollment continues to swell at American universities, few topics are more timely or pressing than enhancing college teaching with TESOL pedagogy and practice. TASMY customized their training through active and extensive interaction with our department, such that the workshops were focused and tailored to our unique needs. For their knowledge of the field and high level of professionalism, I highly recommend them!

Thank you, TASMY team, for designing and leading a course for our writing tutors who wanted to improve our ability to support multilingual learners (MLLs). Throughout the course, we discussed and worked towards several objectives, all of which were met successfully. These accomplishments included enhancing the effectiveness of tutors through the implementation of specialized practices for MLLs, adding significant value to the tutor-training process, and ensuring that tutees responded positively to tutor feedback.   

Responsive, collaborative, well-prepared, and knowledgeable, the TASMY team increased our proficiency in guiding students toward valuable resources. The course was engaging, with helpful materials and enlightening practical exercises. Noteworthy elements of the course content included discussions on cultural dimensions, appropriation, pedagogical grammar, and rhetorical styles. We found the discussion forums to be particularly effective, and we enjoyed learning from each other.

Our tutoring practices have improved already, and we look forward to continuing to apply the knowledge and skills that we have gained from this course.

“I thought about your talent to establish links between different people, making them closer, and helping them discover new worlds around them and, thus, enriching their inner worlds. It motivates, it promotes, it allows people to move forward. Your inspiration is a crucial factor, and it worked in my case...you taught me not merely English but the art of communication and the magic of transformation. This is priceless.”
