1 ACT lesson

When I was walking out of the library through the cafe we worked at, the people behind us during lesson stopped me to say how rude he was to me. I hope I just got him on a really bad day but I wouldn't let a stranger speak to me that way and make plans with them again. I damn sure will not hire someone for a job and let them act like a complete jerk than hire them again. Not eveen if I learned something but my notes were scrambled b/c I couldn't keep up with him.
Maryann S.

6 ACT lessons

Dawn has done a wonderful job tutoring my son. He is not easily motivated when it comes to studying for the ACT and she tries to find topics and areas that are of interest to him as she tutors him on the skills he needs to cover. She is very patient with him and goes over something several times if needed. He is a bit shy and her personable, friendly nature is a wonderful fit for him. She has also been very flexible with our schedule.
Carla B.

He even met with us halfway between our home in Dandridge and his in West Knoxville on a Sunday afternoon. I wish I had known about him much earlier in this process. If my son had had just a little more time with Bob, I feel that we would have been looking at an ACT score above 30. This man just "gets it". If only the best will do, stop your search for a tutor now and send an email to try to get on Bob's schedule. It's not an easy task.
