Amazing tutor!

Amazing tutor!
Dedra was very patient with me and helped guide me through physics class step by step. She helped clear up concepts that were confusing and helped me on challenging homework problems. Not only would she recommend problems from my textbook, she also would come up with questions that encompassed the subject I was learning at the time, especially parts I struggled with. I could definitely tell that she loved physics, bringing up interesting experiments that demonstrated principles and her own personal experiences. Her passion was infectious, and I actually found that physics could be fun. She always encouraged me and truly supported me in my endeavors. In the end, I achieved a high grade in my class and found that physics was not that bad after all.

Knowledgable, reliable and flexible
Very good experience with Dedra for multiple sessions for physics. Dedra responds quickly and she is able to explain complex concepts in Advanced Placement physics.

SAT Physics Subject Test
Dedra has been a tremendous help with prepping for the SAT subject test in Physics. The tests covers more topics than is covered in class and the added instruction is extremely helpful.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor!
I am an adult Calc. student with limited time and energy. Dedra is helping me fill in the gaps in my math skills so I can feel more confident with the material. She's great; I learned a lot in just one hour with her, so I really look forward to our next session.

Calm and Patient
Dedra tutored my son to review for a pre-calc test. She was calm, patient, and extracted the very best out of him. The proof of success was the next day when we continued prepping him ourselves. He knew his stuff and stayed calm, focused and cooperative. We look forward to future weeks with Dedra.

Adaptable
Adaptable- willing to explain things in a way I could understand (changing notations to match the specific ones of my teacher)

Patient, caring and knowledgable tutor
As a math tutor for my son with learning issues, Dedra is extremely patient and thorough -- going over lessons again and again, from different angles, until they're understood. We are very pleased to have found her.

Great tutor!
Dedra helped me understand everything I needed to know, and worked through each problem with me with patience, helping me even more with the comprehension part of the math I'm learning
