Knowledgeable and Engaging

Sue has done a wonderful job tutoring my daughter in psychology. Her engaging teaching style has increased my daughter's ability to learn the subject quickly and retain the information. This has led to better grades. My daughter enjoys and looks forward to the tutoring sessions. I highly recommend Sue.

Knows the subject

She has slides and went over last weeks material in an hour. And, she said she would prepare a practice test for me for our next session. She was very helpful.

Excellent writing instructor and proof reader - five stars

Sue has provided excellent feedback on my son’s writing. She has given him good advice regarding transitions from one paragraph to another and making sure the paper supports the thesis. Sue can be particularly helpful for students who are taking AP tests since she has experience as one of the graders. I would highly recommend Sue as a proofreader for an kind of high school essay, but particularly in the social sciences.
