"Thank God For Susan!"
- Lily, Oviedo, FL on 2/29/16After one tutoring session with Susan my daughter called me to say that she not only extended her session by another hour but she could actually do her homework! My daughter was skeptical at best about getting a tutor, is terrified of math and is not a "people person". Imagine my surprise when she asked me if she could tutor more frequently with Susan to learn more.
"Outstanding"
- Catherine, Newfoundland, NJ on 4/7/17I've worked with many tutors on wyzant, and Susan is easily one if the best. I came to her with java project I was entirely lost on and she help me bust it out in a fashion I was blown away by. I would recommend her to anyone, and plan to work with her again In the future!
"Excellent tutor and affordable"
- Frank, Oviedo, FL on 2/1/17Java- Regular Expressions, subject which is confusing to me was made clear and easy to understand.
Sometimes I come across a subject which does not make sense to me and I am happy to know that Susan L. is in Orlando and happy to help. Someone I can recommend without hesitation, especially to young females looking for help in technical field. Susan L. was a big help and even offered to answer any questions which my come up after the lesson. To me this is important since I come up with questions after the lesson. The location of the lesson was close to my home and I did not have to travel far. All together I was extremely satisfied with the lesson and when I need further help with programing I am going to schedule a lesson with Susan L.
If you are having a programming assignment you cannot solve yourself, schedule lesson with Susan L.
Thank You. Greatly appreciated.
"Outstanding Tutor"
- Emma, Birmingham, AL on 1/24/17Susan assisted us in developing a program for a computer science class. She was patient and able to understand complicated issues. We cannot recommend enough!
"Very Patient and Knowledgeable"
- Carol, Orlando, FL on 11/14/16Central Limit theorem was giving me issues, she helped me with visually setup the problem so I can grasp it.
"Knowledgeable reliant tutor"
- Kim, Winter Garden, FL on 9/13/16Susan is awesome! She is right on target with identifying my daughters needs and adapting her tutoring plan each week to match my daughter's needs. I have been very pleased for over a year now. Thanks!!
"Experienced tutor who gets science and teens!"
- Donna, Orlando, FL on 9/1/16Susan has been a wonderful addition to our homeschool team. She is tutoring my daughter in FLVS Chemistry 1 Honors. Although we're only a couple of weeks into the course, Susan has already been such an asset in terms of filling in some of "the gaps" that can occur with online learning. As a result, my daughter is off to a great start, not to mention she loves her sessions with Susan!
"Adapts to Her Student"
- Carolyn, Orlando, FL on 2/11/16We have never had an academic tutor before and weren't sure what to expect. Susan's expertise, ability to adapt to my son, and ability to find common ground with my son put him at ease and opened him up to talking and asking questions.
"Gets right to the point!"
- Byron, Elkridge, MD on 11/19/15Susan helps me, and continues to help me, with my C++! I work full time, have a side business, and other "life" activities and thanks to her I am able to learn what I need for school in a short amount of time so I can focus on life!
When it comes to programming I definitely recommend her!
"Susan is the best!!!!"
- Laura, Oviedo, FL on 9/28/15Susan has helped Nick not only to have an understanding but even more important she has helped him gain confidence in math ....i can't thank you enough!!!!!
"Knowledgable"
- Vanessa, Orlando, FL on 9/11/15Susan was able to help my daughter understand Algebra in a more clear a precise manner. I would definitely recommend her to others.
"FIVE STARS! Great Tutor for Statistics! Very Patient & Great Teacher!"
- Sherry, Ewa Beach, HI on 8/17/15I was having a lot of trouble understanding statistical calculations and terminology. I was not doing to well in the college level course. I found Susan on WyzAnt and COMPLETELY SAVED MY GRADE! I was able to finish with a strong A- Completely SATISFIED! I love that she was able to tutor and teach me how to use a graphing calculator! Her sessions left me feeling at peace and not frustrated or overwhelmed. I am glad that I found her as a tutor. GREAT TEACHER! Thank you Susan! :)))
"Knowledgeable, patient and able to break content to understandable format"
- Melody, Lawrenceville, GA on 8/8/15Statistic content. She teaches in a way that is easily understandable with challenging content. She helped me understand difficult content and use in real-life situations.
"Extremely knowledgeable in the field of statistics."
- Shannon, Winter Park, FL on 6/14/15Going back to school at 40 is difficult enough. Susan explained statistics to me in a way I can understand and be confident in completing my assignments.
"Very professional tutor"
- Khaled, Orlando, FL on 4/30/15Susan has other skills beyond the tutoring. In addition to her proficiency, she is perfect in Math subjects, GMAT, GRE and computer skills. She has a wonderful ability to communicate with students -with different ages- to simplify and understand subjects.
I am recommending Susan for everyone who needs her/his skills to be improved.
I am so sorry Susan that I didn't write any review before because I had no Idea about it, you deserve more than an appreciation.
Thank you so much Susan for improving our understandings and skills. My wife, my son and my self are very appreciated for what you did with all of us.
"Excellent!"
- David, Pittston, PA on 4/6/15Susan is an awesome tutor. She is very patient and helped me through a lot of difficult areas. Very accommodating!
"Best tutor ever"
- Heather, Orlando, FL on 11/16/14This is second time I have used Susan for help and she was as amazing and reliable as the first. I highly recommend her.
"Very Patient and Intelligent"
- Melanie, Orlando, FL on 9/28/14Susan was a fantastic tutor! I was struggling in concepts in Advanced Quantitative Analysis, a course required for MS in Criminal Justice Research. Susan helped me to learn concepts and always provided exceptional expertise in regards to statistical software (SPSS) and how to manually complete statistics. I would highly recommend Susan for any student, any age, in any area!
"Good"
- Zeenath, Orlando, FL on 9/8/14She sincerely tries to help the students and accommodates fairly well with the timings. I'd recommend her to students up to Algebra and not beyond that.
"Very patient and very good!"
- Kevin, Goose Creek, SC on 7/25/14Susan is such a patient and great teacher. She always knows how to relate the hard information in a way that I can understand it.
"An angel!! Excellent and patient tutor"
- Sandra, Orlando, FL on 1/4/14Susan was very helpful during the winter break. She helped my daughter with her pre-calculus assignment. She is very knowledgeable and spent quality time with my daughter. She was exactly what we needed. She is great and patient! Susan is indeed an excellent tutor.
"Great Tutor!"
- Terri, Oviedo, FL on 12/23/13Susan is very flexible and dependable. My son needed help over the holidays with math and Susan was willing and able to help him. Math has been a struggle for him and she has explained Algebra 2 to him in a way that he understands. It is so wonderful, as a mom, to see the light turn on for him. My only regret is I didn't call her sooner to help us. Thank You Susan.
"Very Patient"
- Susan, Orlando, FL on 12/3/13Susan is very patient and goes through each problem step by step. She will also take the time to explain the steps and will even draw graphs or charts to illustrate. It was a big help to me to have the problems worked out on paper rather than view the power point slide in the classroom. I was having anxiety over the upcoming exam prior to seeing Susan, now I feel more at ease.
"Creative Instruction Pays Off!"
- Bridgette, Windermere, FL on 11/21/13Not all kids learn the same. Susan recognizes this and adapts her lesson coaching to the needs of her students, and it pays off. My student is more confident in his abilities and his grades are proof that Susan's methods work. Thank you Susan!
"An absolute Godsend. Flexible, patient, and accommodating."
- Lisa, Casselberry, FL on 10/7/13I couldn't even say enough words to express my gratitude. I found Susan when I was ready to throw in the towel and say forget it. As an older college student with a fear of math I can only tell you, if you are overwhelmed and need a tutor who is calm, patient and supportive, you found her!!!
"Nice tutor, just not for me"
- Jolie, Orlando, FL on 10/1/13I spent 2 hours going over Statistics with Susan and frankly she's a lovely person who knows her stuff, but spends the time going into too much detail, instead of "keeping it simple". I was hoping for a tutor that would engage me into the learning process, by my participation, not just more of a lecture.
I always offer the 1st hour free and the student is welcome to end the session at that point. Not every person is a match with every tutor. If you are a non-confrontational person like me, who doesn't want to say 'hey this isn't working for me' right to someone's face -- then just pull out the polite lie like grabbing your phone from your pocket and take a fake call, 'oh so sorry I have a family emergency I need to take care of' and end the session. I do not want to waste either of our time if things aren't working.
I can certainly relate to the want to 'keep it simple'-- and if I could find a way to make stats simple I'd be a genius. Sorry, no matter how much we would like it to be ... it is not simple.
"Great tutor! Great results!"
- Claudia, Orlando, FL on 9/18/13My daughter's least favorite subject used to be math. She didn't only dislike it, but she was intimidated by it so much that it actually affected her grade. My husband and I would spend time trying to explain it to her, we helped her out with her homework, but unfortunately, this did not make much of a difference. We finally made the decision to hire a tutor, so we found Susan through WyzAnt. It has been approximately 7 months, and not only is our daughter liking math, but she has been recommended by her math teacher to algebra honors. Needless to say, math is her new favorite subject. We are so happy to have Susan in her life. She is a great & patient tutor.
"Great tutor."
- Clarence, Yuma, AZ on 7/13/13You have indeed been an excellent tutor. I may not have rated you every single time we've had sessions but it is widely appreciated.
"Great tutor!"
- Melody, Baltimore, MD on 6/10/13Explanations are clear and easy to follow. Easy to reach by phone, email, skype, etc. Helped me a lot and I'm forward to talking to her again.
"Excellent tutoring and communicating skills"
- Lynne, Oviedo, FL on 5/4/13Susan is very well versed in many subjects, and is one of those few very good tutors who knows how to teach a student what they need to know. I have had many different tutors who knew their stuff, but could not teach it to me in a way that actually made sense. Before my tutoring session with Susan, I was averaging a score of 285 on my practice GRE exams. After just one session, I took the GRE and received a 295. That is a pretty remarkable improvement for someone who could not remember one iota of her algebra!
"Patient, detail oriented and high integrity"
- Helen, Gotha, FL on 3/15/13Susan is the real deal and got my wife through her stats with an 'A' when 2 weeks earlier she had almost been going into meltdown and thinking of quitting her degree course.
There are a lot of unscrupulous people out there that will take the test for you if you are completely divorced from integrity. Susan doesn't do that she just makes sure you understand the material and get through it yourself.
Highly recommended.
"Awesome Tutor!!!"
- Brian, Orlando, FL on 2/8/13I have used Susan on two occasions now and have been very pleased with the sessions. She really cares that you learn and does an excellent job explaining the material. I recently started working on my degree in computer science and I am glad that I found Susan early in my studies. I plan to keep using her anytime I need help. She is a very kind person and easy to talk to. She is well qualified and knowledgeable of many subjects and it shows. Some people know the material and have a hard time explaining it or teaching it, not Susan.
"Excellent tutor"
- Andrew, Winter Park, FL on 1/2/13Susan is an excellent java tutor. She explains java programming so the student understands how to type java and how to determine what they are doing wrong. Susan is very patient and knowledgeable. Thanks to Susan I have an understanding of Java and I passed the course.
"WOW SUSAN IS AMAZING!!"
- Jacqueline, Kissimmee, FL on 9/17/12I was having a hard time finding a tutor for my STATS class. I was so happy when I found WyzAnt. I was totally freaked out because I thought I was going to fail my STATS class. I was already 2 weeks into the class without a clue of what was going on and what I was doing. Then I found Susan. Susan is a GREAT Tutor. She is patient, helpful, and actually tries to help you understand concepts. She teaches better than my professor and I would definitely recommend her to EVERYONE who takes a STATS class to defiantly use Susan as their Tutor. My grades went from a C to an A. SHE’S THE BEST!!!
"absolutely recommend"
- Liliana, Orlando, FL on 3/18/11Very patient and knowledgeable, time flew by learning with her. She started from basic beginning and where I got lost in details, she reviewed material and found alternate words to help me understand, thanks!
"Great Tutor!"
- Candice, Sanford, FL on 5/11/10Susan is a tutor who takes the time and has pride in teaching! Thanks to her I passed my statistics test!
"The Best!"
- Lawrence, Ocoee, FL on 6/18/09Here are the important points about my tutoring experience with Susan. First, with her help I went from failing to A's and B's in my first math class (PreAlgebra). Second, I got a B in college-level Algebra, after having so much trouble in 'preAlgebra'. Next, I continued with Susan through my third math class (statistics), which I also passed! The fact that I continued on with Susan as my tutor through three semesters of math classes shows that I think she has helped me a lot. Thanks again!
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
