Tina M.

53 ELA lessons

The lessons are fun but very effective, our girl is at ease with Cheri and enjoys every session of tutoring with her so much that she asked for the sessions to be longer. Cheri has helped her improve in spelling, writing and all aspects of ELA. We look forward to working with Cheri.
Kasie M.

20 ELA lessons

Ms. Mary has been working with my child for several sessions in the area's of ELA and math. She is very attentive to his needs and is focused on improving his weaknesses. I strongly feel Ms. Mary's years of educational experience enables her to incorporate my son's strengths during her tutoring. I appreciate that he is more positive in his capabilities and that he is becoming more confident in the mathematics processes that Ms. Mary has tutored him on thus far.
Rita P.

10 ELA lessons

Very happy with Lorraine’s expertise and quality of work. During the first lesson, she correctly identified my child's weak points and created a customized improvement plan for him to follow. After 4-5 lessons, the child showed a full understanding of the proposed “template” and proved it by receiving the full credit on the ELA benchmark test. We will continue with the sessions to reinforce the acquired knowledge.
