Virginia P.

5 Philosophy lessons

With subjects like Philosophy, it is very hard finding skilled tutors who have mastery of the topics and not just "insight". I needed a tutor who could help me understand the material and provide further instruction beyond simply reviewing for an essay or preparing for a test. She is a very knowledgeable tutor who makes herself readily available as per the needs of the student. She is worth her weight in gold!
Sandra L.

18 Philosophy lessons

Her 4th quarter she brought her grade up from 66% to 80%. Passing reading and writing with an "S" for the year! All of the hard work paid off. Wow! I am very proud of her and very impressed with Mrs. M's philosophy skills and follow up directly with the school teacher and me. Mrs. M. went the “extra mile” to make sure my daughter was well prepared for testing day's with out being asked!
Colette M.

7 Philosophy lessons

He is a true gem in every way. He has years of experience as a teacher and comes prepared to tackle just about any subject. My daughter is on a temporary leave from school, and I asked James to work with her to keep her on pace with her class in English and Philosophy. He came the first day and launched right away into a discussion about Macbeth, Sigmund Freud, and the notion of free will, thereby integrating her two classes.
