In addition, he is very easy to reach and responds promptly to communications. We are very pleased overall with her sessions! We could not be happier as things have progressed. The study skills are paying off and we are seeing the difference in her grades! Now the main focus is on Chemistry or Pre-Calc depeding on the week. She is very happy with the tutoring for each. We continue to be very pleased with Tony and would highly recommend him as a tutor!
Geoffrey P.

When we started this 2.25 year tutoring journey my son was a student that wasn't very serious about school, had no study skills and was very disorganized. Now as a Senior he is taking 8 classes (6 AP) and doing all the work on his own while making over a 4.0 GPA (weighted). He also will be attending a top National University with a 60% tuition scholarship where he will be studying Computer Science. I would highly recommend Ms. N as a tutor for your student.
