Great tutor

Gail is a very experienced teacher and it really shows in her work with our daughter. Our daughter has shown substantial improvement and has an excellent rapport with Gail, which helps with both her learning and her concentration. Gail has been a real asset to us and I highly recommend her.

Excellent tutor!

Gail has been an excellent tutor to our bilingual boys (age 10 and 11). She has provided them with tutoring services focusing on ELS and NY state exam preparation since September 2014. Gail always manages to find the right approach to each of them to turn the session into a most productive and enjoyable learning experience. The boys truly respect and value her lessons and look forward to them even during school breaks. They have learned a lot from her and have noticeably improved their performance at school as a result. I would wholeheartedly recommend Gail as a tutor to any elementary/middle school student.

Excellent Teacher!

Gail is an excellent teacher for my son. She is reliable, always on time, and very patient. Gail was of great help for my son when he had to prepare for the 4th grade state exams. Thanks to Gail, my son understood what was expected in the exams (for instance, how to prepare an extended answer), and he also gained confidence. Gail's lessons are very productive and my son's grades are improving. For all the reasons exposed above, I highly recommend Gail.
