We have had tutors in the past, but Nancy is by far the best. She connected with my daughter and got my daughter on the right track. I have complete confidence that Nancy will help my daughter write the perfect college essay. Can not recommend a better tutor. Nancy brought the best out in my daughter. With Nancy's guidance, my daughter is confident that she will get into her number one college. Nancy made my daughter feel confident and relaxed about writing the essay.

Very pleased with James. He is on time and works well with my son. My son says he knows what he is doing and understands the subject matter. Highly recommend. James B continues to do excellent work. My son is very comfortable with him. He stays in touch and we know how to reach him if we have to. He has a good rapport with young men. James B has worked with my son for the last 3 weeks with excellent results.

Gail has a wonderful, child-friendly, fully stocked classroom in her home. We were always very comfortable waiting during our tutoring visits-you can sit in the classroom and observe or you can sit in another room and read/watch TV. Gail is excellent with communication and we always knew what they worked on and she reviewed our daughters progress with us. If you are looking for a caring, patient and experienced tutor for your child I would recommend giving Gail a try.
