Awesome teacher!!!

Ms. Tami is very efficient and experienced teacher. She is very patient and clear with the structure of her teaching. She blends our adhoc requests very well in her teaching structure. She is very compatible with schedules. She works on the time and date that best suits the child. Its been about 8 classes and we see lot of improvement in his reading skills. He is gaining confidence in reading, which is what we started with. We are very thankful to Ms. Tammi for helping us.

Thank you, Kamal. It is such a joy to work with your son.

Recommended Tutor

It was a very nice experience working with Tami. She was helping my son (7th grader) to get a better grade in English. Tami is always prepared, always on time and very organized. Before our first lesson she asked me and my son a lot questions to set goals and customize our lessons. Both Tami and my son did a great job in fixing the grade. I would definitely recommend Tami to anyone.

Great tutor -- Knows a lot of different subjects

Tami has been an excellent tutor for our 8th grade son. She is always on time, well prepared , knowledgeable, and very good at explaining things. She is kind and patient, and flexible about her schedule. What’s most amazing about her is she seems to be able to handle any subject, math/science or English/history. We are really lucky to have found her.
