Tina H.

17 Maya lessons

Maya, is tutoring my daughter for the ACT (all areas). She has had around 9 sessions. Maya goes the extra mile, helping my daughter prepare for the ACT. Maya assigns practice tests and knows the ACT material very well. My daughter is learning an abundance from Maya's tutoring. I am truly thankful. Maya is a very intelligent, smart, and efficient young lady. I highly recommend Maya as a tutor.
Andrew W.

7 Maya lessons

I would highly recommend Kevin as a tutor/teacher for Maya. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and excellent at explaining the complicated Maya program features so the student can easily understand Maya. Kevin has clarified what to do and how to use the features of the Maya software program. I was struggling, frustrated and discouraged before Kevin became my tutor because I had to figure out everything on my own which was not easy to do.
Lynette F.

18 Maya lessons

However, within a couple of lessons, Maya helped me find a new strategy that made a huge difference in my confidence and performance. She gave me several useful tips and approached every lesson with patience and positivity. Talking through CARS passages with Maya helped me learn to read effectively, reason through questions, and choose the most correct answers. I am extremely grateful that I got to work with Maya and I attribute much of my improvement to her teaching.
