- Karen, Saint Louis, MO on 8/12/14Susan has done an excellent job helping my son regain his confidence. We hired her to help our son prepare for ITBS testing. He has struggled in this area and Susan not only has helped him prepare for the test, but she also helped him find his confidence to successfully take this test. This confidence has also spilled over into how he now feels about school overall.
Susan is very knowledgeable, is patient, and really takes her time explaining things. When my son makes a mistake, she corrects him in a way to help him learn from it versus feeling bad about it. He knows his sessions with her are a huge help to him and he will go into taking the ITBS test for the first time feeling good about it.
I highly recommend Susan to any student!

"Very dedicated and knowledgeable tutor"
- Tu, Saint Louis, MO on 8/12/14My 9-year old daughter has been working with Susan in reading over the summer.

From the testing to understand my daughter's reading level to choosing the best materials and approach to improve her reading comprehension, vocabulary, and and writing, Susan has been showing great dedication and experiences that make my daughter open up her shell and thrive.

For concepts that were difficult, she has been patient and made sure my daughter understood before moving on. She made my child feel comfortable. She has built my daughter's confidence with her math skills and given her ideas on different ways to learn the subject.
