Ms. O was extremely patient and helped my daughter so much. It's not often that you find a teacher that really cares and she does!! She has inspired my daughter to not only understand prealgebra but excel. I thank her so much from the bottom of my hear.

1 Prealgebra lesson

Steve taught my daughter PreAlgebra math. She has had challenges with math for a while. And Steve was thorough in explaining it to her. He allowed time to think about the answer and he also was very encouraging. I asked her what did she think about Steve. She said she wishes he was her Teacher!
Geneva B.

1 Prealgebra lesson

Yesterday, my son had a great math session with Jed. 7th grade prealgebra has been challenging for my son, however, Jed was thorough with each math question and was able to grasp how much he already knows and what he needs to work on. My son left the session confident and already knows what other areas in math he'd like Jed to work with him on for his next session.
