Great tutor!

I really liked this tutor. I was able to meet with her online and in person. She was very patient and able to repeat or explain things in a different way when I was having trouble understanding a concept. I had taken a Beginning Spanish 1 class in college but it had been about three years since I took it. I am now returning to school and taking Beginning Spanish 2. I hardly remembered anything from Spanish 1. I only had six weeks to review everything, and I was very concerned about getting through all of Spanish 1 material within that time. But she was able to look at the syllabus and teach me the whole semester's worth of material within that short time. Now that I have been in my Spanish 2 class a few weeks, I am actually one of the only students who is not struggling with the material. I was impressed with the structure and commitment this tutor gave me. And she even said I could contact her with further individual questions even after we were no longer working together. I also think it's good that she does an initial session where she takes time to find out about you and your learning styles, before she actually starts tutoring. That way, she can be more helpful since she knows how you work best. I would definitely use her again.

Knowledgeable and Thorough

Helen is thorough and knows how to engage her student for an hour, which is challenging when the student is 8 years old and it's near bed time! My son is getting a lot out of it.

Knowledgeable, Patient, Dependable.

My 12-year-old son thoroughly enjoys his sessions with Adam. Adam is patient, knowledgeable and seems to have an innate sense for teaching and keeping his pupils engaged. Highly recommended and looking forward to many more lessons.

Great tutor - very Kind

I highly recommend Janet. My 17 yr. old daughter was hopelessly stuck on a three part project for her English class. Janet was nice enough to step in on very short notice and help her through a thesis and PowerPoint presentation. She also gave my daughter some tips on how to calm herself down when she is feeling overwhelmed with homework. Through Janet’s coaching and encouragement, my painfully shy daughter had the confidence to deliver a 5 minute oral presentation based on her thesis which was graded an A+. My daughter says that she likes Janet because she is “very kind” – I agree!

Clarifying, compassionate, thoughtful

My daughter came from lesson touting Deana's skills, claiming she learned more in an hour than in her ELA classroom. Deana seems to be a splendid sensitive educator!!!

Excellent tutor

Tracy is a patient, encouraging and dedicated tutor and also a great person. Since I am a foreign lawyer, she has been helping me improve my English as well as better understand the American legal system. Her approach is a great mix of theoretical concepts and practical tips. Moreover, she has been helping me pay attention to pronunciation and now I feel much more comfortable speaking English. Thank you very much Tracy for your help!!!

Wonderful tutor!

Anthony is willing to give me valuable feedback whenever he corrects my essays; this has improved my writing and thinking skills over the past year. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has trouble with writing ANY type of essay. He understands the criteria of the different essays that I have asked him to review, and he never fails to hit the crucial points that I am missing.
