Awesome tutor

Zsanine is, hands down, the best tutor I've met. She is knowledgeable and very flexible with her schedule and subjects to be covered. At a short moment's notice, she was able to change and adapt her lesson plan to whatever my daughter needed on any given day. She is thorough and patient and we all enjoyed her kind, gentle manner. If you are looking for an awesome tutor, look no further - she's your gal!

Knowledgeable, experienced and patient writing tutor.

My two sons, one in middle school and one in elementary school, both need help with writing. This is almost end of the trimester. Zsanine was very knowledgeable and patient. She gave them great suggestions. Her lessons were easy to understand, clear and informative. Couple times, my boys couldn't understand the vocabulary she use. But overall, it's a great experience. We think that kids or someone in higher writing level would greatly benefit her lessons.

Zsanine is a knowlegable, professional and resourceful tutor

Zsanine helped my boys with their essay writing skills. Although she was super busy this weekend, she still tried her best to make it happen. During the lesson, she was thorough and professional. She was well-prepared and provided a lot of useful resources for English grammar. The only reason I didn't give her 5 stars is that some of the information is too advanced for my kids. But, if you are a high school student or an advanced middle school student, Zsanine will be the right person for you.
