I passed the CBEST a year ago. I was able to score a 61 on the math. I have tutored students in the math section before since many students need a refresher on the math.

Awesome Tutor

I'm not a math-minded person whatsoever, and to even think of passing my college algebra class, I knew I would need a tutor. I had other tutors fall through on me before I met with Vanessa, and ultimately I'm grateful they did. Vanessa navigated me through my entire 18-week college algebra course. There were many times she could take a section I had looked at as though it were in a foreign language and show me a couple of easy ways to work out a solution. She's incredibly knowledgeable, which is important but even more importantly, Vanessa is adept at changing up her own personal style of teaching in a way that makes sense for you. When I wasn't understanding something in one format, she would find another way to get me the information I needed to continue. Always on time, always professional, always present and giving of her time with her students--an awesome tutor.

Very patient and helpful

Vanessa is very thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. She goes over the math problems in detail. With her guidance from the tutoring session, I feel more confident to review the math problems on my own.

Alexandra, 2 lessons with Vanessa

Reliable and sweet

She helped me get prepared for my college algebra final. I felt she was just just so knowledgeable in the subject. I now hired her to help my middle schooler on a regular basis with his studies.

Thanks Vanessa!

It is wonderful working with Vanessa. She is patient and extremely helpful. I struggle with math. This is the 2nd semester she is tutoring me in math. She helped me understand the material and I was able to pass my math class.

Vanessa is a Great Tutor!

My daughter was basically lost when it came to high school math. In a matter of a few months, Vanessa got her up-to-speed and she actually passed her algebra final with a 90. I would have never thought that possible. Vanessa is very nice and very professional. She is focused on the work and not on small talk or wasting time. That is why my daughter learned. She had the patience to get the lessons across. Thanks Vanessa!

Great Tutor...

My daughter had the privilege of having Vanessa tutor her for Algebra 1 and 2 this past year. Vanessa did a great job teaching her math concepts and definitely contributed to her good grades....also, she is extremely dependable and kept great communication. I would definitely hire her again! Thanks for everything...

Excellent Tutor

Vanessa is reliable, knowledgable, and patient. She has a great demeanor with my 6th grader and is able to get him to cooperate and understand the math concepts. She makes it fun and easy for him to understand and remember. In a few short weeks, his grade has improved from 67% (D) to 93.7%. A solid (A). Awesome!!! Thank you Vanessa.
