Jessica B.

10 CBEST lessons

I focused more on the CBEST. After many trials and tribulations, I was getting frustrated about not passing the CBEST, but I got to pass the CBEST, all thanks to Ian. From the beginning when we first met, we sat down and he asked me about what he thought my strengths and weaknesses were as of why I was not passing it. He was patient and very understanding from the beginning. He showed strategies for the reading section particularly and I learned a lot from him. I cannot thank him enough.

Hannah M.

7 CBEST lessons

I hired John about a month ago to help me with my CBEST Mathematics section. Before hiring him I took the CBEST and received the score of a 27 on my mathematics section. When John and I first started working together, I did not have many mathematical skills and no confidence in passing the CBEST, but he helped me obtain the skills and knowledge I needed within a month to successfully pass the CBEST. My score went from a 27 to a 53! That is impressive.

Heather H.

9 CBEST lessons

She would provide her own materials for extra studying/homework, as well as purchasing a CBEST Cliff Notes study book along with me to provide a focused and efficient session together. I had struggled with passing the reading and math section of the CBEST and thankfully with only one month’s work together, Kimberly helped me successfully pass the CBEST. I would absolutely recommend Kimberly to anyone who is in need of a knowledgeable, focused and kind tutor.
