John is the epitome of what a teacher/tutor should be! He's knowledgeable, patient, helpful, encouraging, and makes the material easy to understand. It's amazing the progress I've seen in my comprehension and it's thanks to him. If you're looking for quality with excellence then contact him... but don't take my time slot lol... Kidding aside, you don't need to look any further :)

For those reasons, I couldn't be happier. Being one on one accelerated my learning, and I can't imagine a teacher working harder to make and maintain a lesson plan for me. She was as friendly as you'll find, and seemed to genuinely care about my education. She made this process easy and comfortable. If I could, I would give her 6 stars to repay the favor, because she gave me 110%. We tackled some pretty difficult tasks, so I would highly recommend for any learning level!
