Real stories from real people

Laurie P.

13 lessons

I chose Ann originally because of her experience working with special needs children. Ann has proven herself to be an awesome tutor and person. Ann did an initial assessment of my daughter's math needs and continues to assess my daughter's progress and needs on a regular basis. She is patient and kind and helps my daughter to stay on task - not always easy as my daughter can be very distractible and impulsive.
Kristi M.

13 lessons

When looking for a tutor for my special needs daughter for her ASL class we went through so many profiles and after talking to quite a few it was obvious that Martha was the right fit for my daughter. Not only is she great at working with my daughter who is struggling in school with ASL, she is sensitive and thoughtful to her needs. Martha gives great feedback so that I as a parent know how things are going.
Barbara P.

24 lessons

After she teaches the information and helps her to work through one problem, she will let her work through subsequent problems more independently so that she demonstrates that she has learned the material. It is obvious that Louise loves to teach and she is very good at it. She does not get frustrated if she needs to repeat lessons or instructions. Although she also tutors special needs children, she has been very effective at the honors level.
