Extremely Helpful and Nice

I had my first tutoring session with Jacqueline and it was wonderful. She took her time and helped me break down the studying material. She is very organized and had written some notes down for me prior to our visit to help me as well. I am confident I will pass my exam now that I have a great tutor to help me.

Very patient.

Jacqueline was very helpful with my daughter who needed help with freshman h.s. biology tests. She reviewed step by step all her notes and gave her some great study tips. My daughter really enjoyed working with her. I would highly recommended her and would love to use her again.
