I liked that she gave me references and they were excellent. I enjoy her experience with special needs and challenges my daughter to excel. She doesn't take any flack from her and she respects and does the work she asks. Soon, I hope, she will do the work for herself.

William is patient and developed a trusting relationship with my son very quickly. I can't say enough about how talented William is in connecting and working with students.
