She has provided learning strategies and aids that get at my son's individual needs and strengths.

She has been thorough and thoughtful in keeping me up to date and informed. Thank you Sandy! You get a five star recommendation!
Christopher A.

6 lessons

This meant I had to learn a full years worth of math over the Christmas holiday. I was very impressed with Wayne's preparation. He showed up to our first session with all the topic material I would have to learn. He was very thorough and attentive to detail. I really enjoyed our session and got a lot out of each one. I was successful in testing out of algebra and will definitely be using Wayne's services again throughout this semester and beyond!!
Cristian C.

65 lessons

However, Norbert has had no complications with meeting with our son. He is very flexible in meeting times and where to meet. He also makes sure my son leaves understanding the material; if that means if my son needed an extra 15-20 min, he would give him the time and explain whatever he needed to. He is very thorough with explanations and uses many visual aids. This was great considering my son is a visual learner.
