Presley is by the far the smartest, kindest, most patient tutor I’ve ever had. She is super skilled in English, and was able to help me write an amazing essay that I am very excited about turning in. She helped me for hours, and motivated me through the entire process. Presley is everything you would want and need in a tutor, and I will definitely be tutoring with her again!
Liz H.

34 English lessons

In such a short amount of time, she was able to find out the stumbling blocks my son was having with math, and by the end of the lesson, the frustration he had turned into smiles because he understood. It was amazing! She also worked with him on an English writing assignment. He was so frustrated that he didn't want to do the assignment. Michelle brainstormed with him on ideas, and then she showed him how to put his thoughts on paper.

He once summarized the entire chapter of Islam without even reading the text book, so I understood the context easily. He also spent an hour and a half just on improving my outline of my English essay such as making better word choices, thesis, topic sentence, citations, specific evidences, and analysis. I think James is an amazing tutor for any student. I feel much more confident about my writing skill now.
