My son very much enjoys working with David, as he is kind, patient, fun to talk to and knowledgeable. David is working with our son on helping him become a great writer and journalist, but for now getting him through high school and hopefully into a great creative writing university.

Mindy seems like a great fit to tutor our son in literature and creative writing. They hit it off right away and Mindy came organized, prepared and ready to engage my son at the same time as including us, his parents, in the process.

We brought Kate in last fall (FY11) after our son (5th grade) was experiencing challenges with his math and creative writing. After working with him every other week for a 4 months and scaling back to once a month, I am very proud to say that in his year end celebration yesterday (May 2012) he not only made the MERIT HONOR Roll, but was selected to receive a PRESIDENTIAL ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT award for his high AIMS test scores.
