My special needs son was not doing well in his science class and Michael was able to help my son to get back to his feet. He eventually passed it with more than what we expected. Michael is not like your ordinary tutor. He cares for his student. He makes sure that he can do the job and can help the student before accepting the assignment.

Alicia is so so so wonderful! I just love how she works with my son who is on the spectrum. She is so creative and full of new ideas that will appeal to him. Her knowledge about how to educate kids with special needs is beyond what I could ask for. I can tell that she thinks of his needs before we meet each week. She brings the exact kind of things to read that he loves without me saying a word. She's kind and genuinely wants to help my son to learn.
