Cynthia W.

7 lessons

She is very caring and patient and makes sure that the needs of her students are met. When I was looking for a tutor for my son, I was impressed with Marie's credentials, her responsiveness, and her detailed explanation on how she would be able to help my son prepare for the SAT/ACT Reading, English, and Writing examinations. Marie's style of teaching is very organized, thorough, and methodical.
Tim W.

8 lessons

My son wanted to improve in ACT Reading and Science. Walter did a great job in exploring strategies and techniques for this specific need, and coached my son on methods to work through the tests effectively. He had outside assignments for my son to complete that were very beneficial. My son's confidence grew as the tutoring process continued, and he even commented that he thought Walter was just as excited about his improvement in practice scores as he was.
Corey C.

What I truly love most about her is her genuine love and commitment for helping young people reach their ACT Reading/Writing goals and to encourage scholarly behavior overall. You could feel her sincerity which is only surpassed by her unique ability to effectively engage students and quickly get them on track. If there was an "Apple Award" for the WyzAnt Tutors, she would win hands down!
