Julianne T.

47 ELA lessons

We couldn’t be happier with the progress our sixth-grade son has made with Sarah as his ELA tutor. ELA has always been challenging for him, and he had begun to dread it. For the first time in three years, he’s genuinely excited about ELA! We saw near-immediate improvements after he started working with Sarah—he recently earned a 98 on his ELA test, a success he attributes directly to her sessions.
Gloria O.

2 ELA lessons

Did amazing tutoring my 10th grade with his his ELA. By the end of the session, my son had better understanding of his ELA assignment. Highly recommended. We know who to reach out to anytime my son needs an ELA tutoring. She is very patient as well.
Nadia P.

10 ELA lessons

Mr. Marko helped my son with ELA, essays and reading comprehension. He is extremely polite, interactive, knowledgeable and engaged my son. My son really likes him too. Mr. Marko tries to gauge his student's interest by finding out what they are interested in and then pairing it with reading and ELA. Would strongly recommend him to anyone interested in ELA tutor.
