My son has tons of respect for his tutor. He never wants to miss tutoring sessions. As a parent it is nice to read the summaries after the session to see what they did that day and how he thinks it is going. It has been encouraging to see that my son is advancing. I have told all my friends about WyzAnt. It gets you help immediately. Ed started helping my son the next day that we requested a tutor. We highly recommend Ed for a C++ tutor.

Devyani met with my son for the first time and was very patient. She is very responsible and caring. My son feels comfortable when Devyani is around since he's a bit shy. He can't wait for her to come over again. Devyani was very encouraging to my son. Thank you so much Devyani for making my son feel comfortable and confident.
