We have continued that to present time. My son's improvement has been amazing and at the end of 2nd grade he was reading independently and at the level he should be. By continuing the sessions it has kept him confident about his reading and writing, which has given him a great start for 3rd grade. Tina has been flexible, reliable and respectful to my child's needs. I greatly recommend her.

I'm so continually impressed with Hector, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone I know who is looking for a single or ongoing tutor. Hector knows exactly what he is doing, teaches in ways I haven't experienced before and am extremely pleased with. He connected with my son in ways I cannot even describe, and now my son is above ready for 3rd grade. Thank you so much, Mr. Hector. You have been a god send.

After two lessons per week for about a month, she helped our daughter substantially! Our daughter's grades have risen significantly, she's showing more confidence in her work and school setting, and she knows she can reach out for help with Heather any time she needs to. I am so glad we found Heather and for the amazing work she has done so quickly with our daughter. It has really turned this school year around.
