Understanding and Encouraging

Victoria helped tutor my middle school brother for ELA. She was extremely responsive and flexible. When needed, she prepared customized questions prior to the lesson time which were super helpful. She was also open to my feedback on the learning style so that we could hone in on the long term goals. I very much appreciate all the help Victoria has provided over the course of the school year.
