Very amazing tutor

She helped me understand the topic and display the overall idea of how to break down my essay. She is amazing at helping you in your writing, not only doing it but also understanding what you write and how to demonstrate it. -Natalie

Extremely helpful

My teenage daughter has high anxiety and let a bunch of writing projects pile up. Ashley helped her take the first steps in one of her assignments and was able to make it connection with my daughter to help her move forward. When she got off of the tutoring appointment She said, "I'm gonna go upstairs and work on this now because I'm in the flow"

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Ashley uses song to reinforce words, and their meaning. She was able to break through my son’s initial shyness, and discover what it takes to make him retain the lesson.
