Krista S.

14 lessons

Christie has a very energetic vibe, which is refreshing. The first thing my son said when we got in the car was, "She really knows how to explain things. She tried like 20 different ways until I got it." This was most encouraging because Nick has said he doesn't understand still after meeting with a tutor in the past. I am looking forward to Christie's help.
Allison P.

7 lessons

He was on time, and organized, obviously experienced with the material and with teaching. He had a patient, very pleasant manner, and he struck exactly the right balance between reassuring and also encouraging my son to challenge himself by trying harder problems. The key to learning is the willingness to try and sometimes fail (and not feel bad but learn from the mistakes)--Tapi clearly understands and encourages this mindset.
Liz T.

2 lessons

Lisa is encouraging and patient and has a strategic approach to her teaching. Lisa builds the foundations of learning a new subject by teaching the basic building blocks that are key to gaining understanding in any subject. Lisa also uses methods that help you practice what you have learned and apply it which is a very useful way to test what you are learning. Her methods are effective and she is very personable in her nature.
