Outstanding Math Tutor – Highly Recommend!

Emily has been an absolute game-changer for my daughter’s confidence and success in math! In just three months of working with her, my daughter has gained a new understanding of the subject, making homework much less stressful and improving her test scores significantly. Thanks to Emily’s patience, encouragement, and effective teaching methods, her grade has improved significantly. Emily makes learning engaging and ensures that my daughter truly grasps the concepts rather than just memorizing formulas. She tailors her approach to meet her needs, and it has made a world of difference. If you're looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable math tutor, I highly recommend Emily!

Detailed Oriented and Organized

Unfortunately, I had computer problems and we did not complete the lesson, but in such a short time she gave me such relevant information and a great starting point. She put my daughter months ahead of preparing for the ACT. I am rebooking her.

Patient Knowledgeable Tutor

I am very thankful for finding Emily P.. My daughter has had one session thus far and she was so excited afterwards. She said she really liked the way Emily explained things and gave her feed back on where she was going wrong while doing the equations. Her exact words " she's really giving one on one teacher vibes". I asked for a tutor who can help her understand concepts and not just get her past her test week to week and it looks like we found the right tutor. We look forward to working with Emily weekly.
