He has always been kind and understanding, and one of the things I admire most about him is he always has a smile to share with his students. His attitude is especially encouraging to us student who are already struggling in one way or another and could really use a dose of joy in our day. It's an attitude I've been working on acquiring as well, thanks to his influence. Though for a brooding and moody teenager, it's been a little difficult.

Jordan is positive and patient and encouraging; he's also amazingly available outside of tutoring for a quick followup or clarification. He'll go over over things to make sure they're right. His commitment makes it worth it. If he's late, he makes up the time. He's also very flexible with his own time. Oh and by the way, he knows his subjects and knows more than one way to teach them.

Angie has been working with my 13 year old daughter for a month to help her with pre-algebra, and my daughter is making great progress. Angie is a true professional and always arrives on time and ready to get right to work. She approaches the subject in a patient and encouraging manner and is understanding when my daughter struggles with a concept or makes mistakes.
