Testimonials

A few lessons and she has my daughter making a passing grade in her next math test! Her skill and personality made it a comfortable environment for my kiddo.

A wonderful and patient support for my son. They work so well together. She has been the missing piece to the help he needed for homework assistance and extra tutoring in certain areas. I am very thankful we found her.

Our daughter has always found math challenging, but entering high school with the jump to algebra and geometry really became a hurdle. It was discouraging watching her lose confidence, despite how hard she was trying. From the very first session, she brought a calm, encouraging presence that helped our daughter feel understood and capable. After just a short time working with her, our daughter came home excited to share that she had passed her first math test—it was the first time in a long time we saw her proud of her progress. Tutoring truly made a difference, not just academically, but emotionally. It has restored our daughter’s confidence and reminded her that she can do hard things. We’re so grateful!

We paired up in January for math support and the difference in my daughter has been huge. Through working with our family and directly with my daughter's teacher, she was able to hone in on where the gaps were. She is so kind and engaging and we love her!
