Marisol, 3 lessons with CarissaTutor responded:Marisol, Thank you for your wonderful feedback on my tutoring AP Bio and thank you for your daughter's tutoring recommendation/referral to her friend!
Awesome Tutor
Carissa is a very focused teacher. She knows where the student needs help and is too the point in focussing on the weakest point. Her sessions with my 10th grader has been really helpful. I would definitely recommend Carissa.

Very knowledgeable Subject Matter Expert!
Really like the teaching style that Carissa incorporates in her Biology lessons, that involves breaking down of difficult concept with easy to understand shared examples, and then frequent questioning back to the student in order to assess them before moving forward with next topic. We definitely plan to take future lessons, Thank you for all the help Carissa!

My daughter had one session with Carrisa for APES unit test and really liked her style. She explained difficult concepts clearly, simply and concisely. We plan to take more sessions with her.

an efficient tutoring session
Carissa provided a specific study plan for my daughter who will take the APES exam in May this year. She explained all the concepts with great clarity and details. My daughter enjoyed her session very much.

Very Knowledgeable Tutor
Carissa has been helping my daughter (Junior in High School) with her AP Biology Class. Carissa has really helped my daughter with a better understanding of the concepts and breaks it down so that my daughter is not overwhelmed. My daughter has improved so much since she started her lessons with Carissa and is less stressed about class. Thank you, Carissa for all your help!
Kerry, 17 lessons with CarissaTutor responded:Hi Kerry, It has been great working with Eleni. She is extremely courteous, respectful, and sweet. I can tell she is a student who desires to own her learning and does not blame her teacher for not doing a better job. Some teachers are not doing a good job teaching, but AP is taught to develop an independent learner ready to tackle the challenges of college. I truly believe many schools are not prepping kids to succeed in AP. They spoon-feed and then suddenly the student is expected to suddenly be an independent learner in AP. Schools should be teaching students to be more independent in their learning prior to an AP class or classes.
Helpful and patient
Carissa was helpful in giving my daughter a well thought out plan as to how she should prepare for her upcoming APES exam. She was organized and thorough on going over the material
Jenny, 2 lessons with CarissaTutor responded:Jenny, I appreciate this review. I would love to continue tutoring Jenny in APES.
Excellent and knowledgeable
Carissa is an invested, well rounded, and knowledgeable tutor. She has helped me with both reviewing and learning the content of my AP Environmental course. She has a litany or resources and encourages student participation thought-out the sessions, she also encourages students to make their own connections and assist them with making connections between units and content! Carissa is an excellent tutor!
Debbie, 2 lessons with CarissaTutor responded:Thank you for this great review. I am a critical thinking tutor, not just a tutor that spoon feeds information. This is because I am a scientist and an educator. I make connections across scientific disciplines and even beyond science. I am all about multi-disciplinary thinking and high level cognitive application of science concepts. This is what is needed in all AP science courses.
