Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Pauline is patient and kind. She takes time to assess what my son needs support in prior to the start of every session. She is clear, helpful, and uses real life examples of how and why different kinds of math is applied in every day life and different jobs. I think this helps my son better understand and value what he's learning. Paulina has been working with my son for a few weeks now. I believe tutoring with her helped my son achieve an "A" on a recent chapter quiz. My son's class is an advanced class so he needs to understand different math concepts at an accelerated rate, and as it gets more complex, it's really a nice reassurance to know that Paulina and tutoring is something my son will have to better support him, increase his confidence and knowledge outside of his math class. Paulina is great!
