Experienced and patient tutor

Sherry is a fantastic tutor. She helped me pass the praxis writing core which I struggled to pass on my own. She is great at identifying weaknesses during lessons and will provide you with extra material for practice. I will continue to use Sherry's services to help me with other exams.

Sherry is an excellent teacher

My grand daughter is a rising 5th grade student. Since she has been working with Sherry, her reading comprehension and writing skills have improved significantly. Both her standard test scores and grades from her report card have risen to 90 percentiles from her school. Sherry is also very personable and great to work with. My grand daughter loves to work with her.

Excellent and Supportive Tutor!

Sherry is a wonderful tutor who is both patient and encouraging. She helped my child prepare for the ELA final exam and made the lessons very engaging and effective. After only two lessons, my child gained much more confidence and ended up receiving a perfect score on the final exam. We truly appreciate Sherry’s support and teaching skills. Highly recommended!

Helpful

My 6th grade daughter recently started working with Sherry. She is a very patient and knowledgeable tutor. She gives my daughter work to practice on outside of their sessions. This has really been helping my daughter solidify her skills. Sherry has been working on test preparation with my daughter as well, and it has been very helpful. Sherry is also very caring and supportive.

I just love every lesson with Sherry. She makes it fun and worth the time! She’s engaging, always making sure to include you in the learning, not just throwing information at you.

Kylie, 18 lessons with Sherry

Patient and soft spoken

I had my first lesson with Sherry. She appears very knowledgeable and kind. I'm looking forward to the lessons with her and the success I hope it brings. We are going over the materials for the 5205, and she is humorous, yet her vibe is very upbeat and genuine in the goal im trying to reach.
