NaTisha helped her to refine her thinking, communicate her ideas more clearly – both in writing and verbally – and go into the debates with confidence and clarity. My daughter’s sessions with NaTisha were productive and fun. NaTisha’s upbeat and enthusiastic nature helped make challenging topics seems less intimidating. We will definitely continue working with NaTisha for the upcoming debate season.

It has been three weeks and Miriam established a rapport with my daughter. We appreciated Miriam's patient and her way of teaching. We are confident and hopeful that her skills to keep the sessions focused and moving at a good pace will help our daughter to excel in her comprehension and writing.

Colleen has a great way of helping my son reason through what the correct answer would be. I think he often panics on multiple choice questions and she is helping with this. Also, his writing has already gotten so much better after only 4 sessions. I am impressed!
