2 lessons

I gave her benefit of doubt and called her again, she knew we were on time crunch. We were making up for lost work as my daughter had been sick, she still did not come well prepared to accomplish the goals for that lesson (took ½ hour more than planned, yet we did not make much progress.) In my opinion, she is a nice person, good teaching style for elementary school kids, or kids who have special needs, very friendly but JUST NOT good for advanced level topics.

My first session was great. John made me feel more comfortable with getting help, which for me is always hard, and also made it easier for me understand what he was actually teaching me. Honestly, I feel much better about getting a tutor now that we had a chance to meet and were able to get comfortable with each other.

I was very impressed with Pamela and felt very comfortable leaving my child. I appreciated her interest by listening to my concerns. I feel that she will be a great asset in my daughters learning process. My daughter really liked her and felt comfortable with her.
