Great Tutor

Cindy is an excellent tutor. She has a background in teaching and because of that is extremely knowledgeable regarding math. She is very patient and shows nothing but respect as she helps you, but lets you figure out the problems on your own at the same time. She is a perfectly balanced teacher. A great tutor that I would highly recommend to anyone who is in serious need of help and looking for a serious (but pleasant) tutor.

Michael, 2 lessons with Cindy

First session, and my daughter learned quite a bit.

This tutor was great. I'm glad she's an excellent fit to be tutoring my daughter. Cindy is very patient and has so much knowledge in the Math my daughter needs help with. She goes into great detail to guide my daughter into understanding each Math problem until she grasps the concept. I'm so happy we found this tutor!

Gracious

My son forgot to cancel the lesson in time. Cindy was gracious in accepting our apology and charging us only for one hour instead of the 1.5 hr that was scheduled for.
