Reviews for Dana Point English tutors

Mrs. Bradarich is a natural born teacher. My children went to the same school (Carden Academy) where Mrs. Bradarich taught for many years. My children have expressed how deeply they appreciate the education they received at Carden Academy. They have also mentioned that many of their college professors and employers have commented how impressed they are with their obtained knowledge. It is a basic education that Mrs. Bradarich can deliver. Sadly, Carden Academy is no longer. I observe the weak education that my grandson (Tyler) is currently receiving; therefore, I asked Mrs. Bradarich to tutor him. What progress Tyler has made in Math, Language, Composition, and Cursive Handwriting! His confidence is improving, as well as his attitude towards school in general, as he experiences success. He loves Mrs. Bradarich, he loves to learn...he is happy, and I am, too!

Great experience. We worked with this company throughout the school year and they were able to provide resources for academic help, test preparation, and essay help too. Would definitely recommend.

Garrett was an invaluable tutor for my AP US History class. He consistently strove to enhance my understanding by approaching our sessions using different learning styles to see which one stuck with me. Garrett took the time to identify the areas where I was struggling and was very patient while explaining complicated concepts to make sure they stuck! He improved my grade from a B+ to an A which significantly improved my GPA and indicated growth to colleges which was very helpful when being admitted. Without Garrett's help, I wouldn't have the problem-solving skills I still use today in my college history courses!

Tiana was the BEST!! This tutoring is amazing! Our children struggled in calculus and algebra, and Tiana made the learning experience fun, exciting, and enjoyable! She was extremely knowledgeable and professional, and always came with a great attitude! Our children’s grades and confidence instantly improved significantly once we started working with her. Highly recommend!

i started working with him cause a family member recommended him and he’s doing a fall discount (otherwise i def couldn’t afford it). we’ve only had one session so far but he’s really smart. kind of intense but in a good way. he made me a study plan that looks a little scary ngl but also makes me feel like i actually have a direction now. he gives off private tutor vibes, like the kind that usually works with rich families or college kids, but he’s super chill and not snobby at all, which i didn’t expect but really like.

My Daughter was in 3rd grade and reading at a 1st-grade level when she started working with Gina. She had low self-esteem and hated reading. Gina helped my daughter catch up to grade-level reading, writing, and spelling. As a result, my daughter's confidence soared. Her academic performance improved, and she developed a love of reading. Gina was very kind and patient. My daughter likes her a lot.
I highly recommend Gina!
