Debbie R.

1 lesson

He helped me to understand and grasp what I was learning. He was thorough and patient and quite knowledgeable, knowing both the Mac and the PC. The part that has made this training completely worthwhile for me is his follow-up. Of course I took notes, but when I got home I found they were not as thorough as I would have liked. I should have taped the training. And I was not able to work on it for several days after the training, so, naturally, I forgot quite a bit.
Tamarra K.

10 lessons

My son has had two sessions so far and looks forward to working with her again. She has a calming demeanor, but she challenges him and he seems to be learning. She has also said encouraging things to me about his progress, which I needed because I was feeling like he was behind. My son will continue working with her for a while.
Jingping W.

23 lessons

We found Susan from the reviews on this site and are very happy with our decision. Not only she is very knowledgeable with the subject, she is also well-prepared before each class, which we really appreciate. My son loves her too since she is always encouraging and gets right to the point for things he needs to improve.
