Katherine S.

3 lessons

Mariana did just that! She went above and beyond, preparing slides, looking into upcoming concepts in my class and doing her own homework in order to prepare me best. She is patient, knowledgable and left me feeling way more comfortable with a subject that otherwise scares me! I'm off and running on my own at this point but I LOVE knowing that I can call on Mariana if need be. I highly recommend her for students of ANY age!
Brian M.

7 lessons

Alfred arrived on time, took the time to understand the needs/goals, and reviewed some of the basics to gain understanding of where my son was in his learning. The session went very well and his teaching style complimented my son's learning style. My son felt much more comfortable with the material and certainly much more confident in his understanding of the material. Definitely recommend Alfred for IB Calculus.
Michaela S.

12 lessons

I would have not passed my class without the sessions with Jeff. He found outside resources for me that could help me learn concepts. He gave me multiple websites based on the topics that I was going over in class that were extremely helpful. He is very patient, and helped me break down concepts so that I could understand. He is also very approachable where I felt comfortable to ask about any confusing topics. I highly recommend him!
