(I was pleasantly surprised to receive an encouraging text from her before my final and another text after to find out how I did!!! Most tutors wouldn't go the extra mile like that.) Karen has the special and rare ability to tailor her teaching to each individual student. Students are different. They require different approaches, as unique as they are. Karen knows how to adapt to this and present the material to each student in the way they need.

Murat has been working with our 9 year old son on advanced math. Everything about the experience has been terrific. From the outset, Murat has been responsive, responsible, and reliable. He is thoughtful about lesson plans, and patient and encouraging in his pedagogy. Our son loves him, and comes away from his sessions more and more excited about what he's learning. We feel fortunate to have found Murat!

Donna is encouraging my son and getting him to work for her by earning his trust and respect. That goes a long way with him. He has always worked the hardest for teachers who take the time to get to know him and who are positive in their approach with him. Donna is one of those teachers. I believe she is doing a great job with him academically as well. 2-24-14Donna has been tutoring my son for almost two years now.
