Barbara always came extremely prepared for every lesson, taking care of a lot of the notes before hand, so as to make the most of the time spent together during the lesson. She was very knowledgeable, and always willing to work at whatever pace was comfortable for me, making sure I had a complete understanding of the subject matter.

Quote from our student: "I have Ms. Sharon tutor me once a week for two hours each session, and I can't even begin to describe how much she has helped me to improve academically AND self esteem-wise. Each week we meet in a comfortable environment of my choice, (usually we meet for coffee).
Derrik G.

My son only had one session so far, but was very kind and patient. She knows how to talk with kids to make them feel comfortable. It was a great first session, and I look forward to continuing our future lessons. I encourage anyone looking for a tutor to give her a chance, you will not be disappointed.
