Shatica M.

21 lessons

My son began reading and math lessons with Janet as he was just about to enter 1st grade. I loved how she took time to get to know him during the first few sessions which in turn made him more receptive and built the trust needed for him to succeed. I saw results after the very first session, meaning my son was asking me "mom, when is she coming back." Any mom knows that's a great sign of things to come.
Glenda C.

31 lessons

His 1st grade teacher said there was no way he would get to grade level before 2nd grade. He is now going into 2nd grade reading...slowly but reading! His teacher was amazed at his progress. He would not have been able to accomplish this with just home help. Belinda has been so patient and encouraging to my son. Her teaching methods are individualized specifically to his learning style. She has years of experience and I am privileged to have her tutor my son.
Natalia T.

23 lessons

When I received a letter from school informing me that my son would be retained in the 1st grade due to his problems with writing and reading, I started looking for a tutor right away. I know how hard it is to make my six-year-old do the work and keep him interested at the same time, but Michael was able to do it from the very start. I really appreciate his patience and a friendly approach to kids. Michael has been working with my son on spelling, reading and writing.
