After only two weeks of tutoring my 6 year old son I saw a huge improvement in his work and so have his teachers. To put the icing on the cake she is an amazing person and an added bonus to her being so good at what she does. I'm happy I found Jennifer and I know she's the one to get my son where he needs to be and much further. I recommend her 100% and there's not enough stars to cover her ratings. I'm pleased:)

Finding a good tutor is always difficult task, lucky for me, Miriam was in my area and was able to help me understand Pseudocode. Miriam is an amazing teacher, she was patient with me and was able to explain pseudocode so that i could understand the different concepts. Its always hard to find someone, who is a good teaching others and she has that gift. I'm thankful for her tutelage from beginning to end and recommend her to anyone who needs help in programming.

He is thorough with his work, yet efficient with time. He gets to the point, but does an amazing job explaining how you got there. He clearly has done this many times before, as he is the best tutor I have gotten thus far. He helped me improve my grades tremendously. Well worth my time, and especially at a good price! I could go on for a while, but all in all Brian is a great tutor, and I highly recommend his services.
