Evan was invaluable in helping my daughter with her college algebra class. In the beginning of the semester she was barely passing, but with Evan’s experience, patience and flexible schedule my daughter ended the semester with a B! I also recommend him as a parent of a student with special needs. My daughter has a speech disability and he was able to make all the material very understandable to her. Evan is the way to go!

My son enjoys going to tutor with Ms. Cara. She is very good with him and understanding his needs. Ms. Cara is great a letting me know his strengths and what we need to work on. More importantly to me and for my son she is familiar with special needs and it makes it easier when he is having a bad day. He always leaves Ms. Cara happier then when he got there. She is great!!

Our family has used her services now for the past three years and each year she continues to grow in her knowledge. She has helped our special needs student tremendously. Our son needs the extra one one one attention due to having dyslexia and a processing disorder. Each of her sessions are tailored to him personally. She takes the time after the sessions to tell us the methods she is using, why they are helpful, and what she will do next time.
