Featured review

Very perceptive and patient

Larry understands what motivates students and is very responsive to their specific needs. He is patient and very knowledgeable. He helped my son to organize his thoughts and create and stick with a schedule to complete his research paper. He made my son proud to have done great work and complete it early. I highly recommend Larry as an AP English Language tutor.
