Makes learning fun!

Celia is a great tutor! She helped my daughter get an A on her chemistry test. She is very patient and understanding. My daughter is actually starting to like chemistry!!!

Melanie, 8 lessons with Celia

Knowledgeable and kind tutor

Celia has tutored me for many different things. She helped me prepare for the GRE, and then when I ran into trouble in my college chemistry class she spent many hours with me helping me understand the material and prepare for tests...and I was able to get the grade that I needed! When it came time for me to apply to my graduate program, she helped me prepare my application. I am happy to say that I was recently accepted into my graduate program, and I feel like I owe a lot of my success to Celia for helping me to get there! I highly recommend her. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, flexible, kind, and I have yet to come across something that I needed to know that she couldn’t help me with. I will absolutely not hesitate to call on her if I need help in my future classes.

Great Algebra 2 Tutor

Celia helped my daughter to study for her final Algebra 2 exam. She received the grade we were hoping for. Celia explained Algebra 2 to my daughter in a way she was able to understand it better. She was very patient and efficient with her time! We will definitely use her services again in the future.

Christy, 8 lessons with Celia

Knowledgeable

Celia has been very helpful in helping my 7th grader better understand basic geometry and algebra. I highly recommend her if your child need one on one help with understanding formulate and steps. She is a great listener and quickly identified my child's needs.

Tonia, 15 lessons with Celia

Patient and very knowledgeable

Great with explaining topics in a way you would understand them. I will definitely be using Celia in the future. I was having such a hard time with studying for organic chemistry and understanding the topics I needed for organic chemistry and she has helped me tremendously. I would recommend Celia for any tutoring you may need.

Jayden, 1 lesson with Celia

Excellent tutor!

Excellent tutor! Catching my daughter up to where she needs to be after falling behind in chemistry. Other tutors knew their material but couldn't communicate it well. Celia is good at communicating, making sure my daughter understands, and helping her know how to study.
