Sabrina R.

2 essay lessons

Hayley was able to help my son put his thoughts together and help him structure what he has read to form the paragraphs he needs to complete an essay on the subject he wanted to share.

David C.

3 essay lessons

Having spent a good part of a year focusing on math and lit, he hadn't spent any time on Essay prep. A couple of his teachers didn't have the time to help so having used Wyzant for Pre-Cal and Science, we thought we would look for Essay help too. We hadn't used online tutoring for Wyzant but we searched and received a response from Alison is about 10 minutes. She immediately sent a couple emails and set up a time for the next day.

Vincy F.

3 essay lessons

Also, she is a very responsible tutor. She did what she said; when she promised to check my essay on that day, she did it even though I knew she was busy. Last but not least, she is effective and enthusiastic. One time, there was only about half an hour left to due my essay, but I still had a lot of grammar mistakes and sentence construction problems. Eve helped me to fix all the problems in that short time so that I was able to submit it on time!
