Mr. S. is a very nice and patient person. I've been working with him for a few weeks now and in just those few weeks he has given my daughter the confidence she needed. He is amazing with her, and my 10 year old loves having him as her tutor. I'm really happy that I got him. He is truly an amazing tutor/teacher, if only there were more teachers like him out there.
