Sheryl interacts very well with my 8 year old son who does have some issues with focus. He seems to respond to her methods well. She makes the lesson fun and interactive. Sheryl is very thorough in her after lesson summary so that my husband and I know exactly how our son is progressing and what they are working on. She has provided many suggestions which we have implemented at home and at school which have improved his grades and confidence.

He showed genuine care for her success. During the session, Mr. Carl was patient, knowledgeable, he explained things to her in a clear and thorough way and most importantly, she got it!! After the session, she felt confident enough to say she wants to retake a quiz in her Algebra class for a better grade. As a parent, I want my daughter to be successful and I am confident that with Mr. Carl's help, she will regain her focus and confidence in math.

Although he was a straight-A student most of the first semester, the concepts became more challenging and broke my son's confidence. Then Tohoru swooped in like some kind of super hero armed with conceptualization, short cuts, thorough explanations, and organizationI tools. He not only helped raise my son's slipping B grade back up to an A on his final report card, but he also helped to restore his confidence.
