While technically not the first encounter it was Ed's first time tutoring both of our girls. His love for teaching is obvious and our girls had no problem relating to or working with him. Our first experience was when he came to meet the girls the week prior to tutoring to make sure everyone was comfortable. Ed is first class.

Simply the best tutor I've worked with on WyzAnt. Vanessa is extremely professional and provides feedback after each session. This allows for me to use positive reinforcement and ensure my nieces are utilizing the skills they acquire doing the session! My nieces who receive tutoring are very happy with the lessons and feel comfortable with the material.

Brian was great! I've been away from it for awhile and it's not my best subject. He was patient and understanding. He was clear and not intimidating which was great. I was comfortable asking him questions about the subject. I'm glad I will be tutoring with him because I feel I can pass math.
