Davis W.

4 Philosophy lessons

So for me learning to have the ability to speak basic conversation French would be a dream come true. I am taking the semi-private lesson with my auntie who is in her 70's - who embodies the lifelong learning philosophy even more. But this dream needs to pair with a good French teaching "coach" in order for it to come true. That's where tutor Celeste comes into the picture. She is not only knowledgeable about her subject matter, but also very skillful at teaching it.

Amanda A.

6 Philosophy lessons

William didn't just explain the material, he would challenge me to think about the topics critically for very deep understanding. Philosophy is hard. Let's just say it. The only way to get it is to work at it. I am so glad that I got William as a tutor. Not only did I get the Cum Laude, but I also finished the class with an A. The final went better than I could have imagined as I answered every question with confidence and pride.

Christian worked with my son for the first time this week. I was so pleased to hear him teaching rather than just showing how to do a particular problem, He helped him look at problems differently and use his graphing calculator much more efficiently. Evan zipped through the next nights homework on his own with no problems. I liked his philosophy of you can be really good at math if you put in the time and effort-not just struggle through calculus like I did.
