Samuel and I have gone over a variety of topics. He is a good tutor, because he gets that I NEED the help, and I am unable to do it myself. He talks to me, not at me, and he goes at a pace that is very comfortable, so I don't get frustrated.

From the words of my nephew, "Jordan is really, really nice. He taught me how to simplify equations". That's what I love to hear after a session, and I'm glad to know that my nephew feels comfortable enough to not only learn, but to make a couple mistakes if it happens. I look forward to how Jay will progress with the help of Jordan.
