Reviews for Lake Forest 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!

I wanted to say thank you to the teacher of the BC Calc review class (Joyee Lin I believe) for really going in a comprehensive + in depth review of the class. I was really worried for the AP exam as my teacher wasn't doing much to prepare us, but after taking this review class I feel really confident. Thank yoU!!

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!

She is professional, Mrs. McGray has a classic approach to learning and works with your child(ren) on supporting their needs. We decided that we wanted to supplement our child's learning in the Public School system, due in part, to the lack of fundamental education and class size. Mrs. McGray has strengthened our child’s understanding of the basic foundation of writing and reading English; including grammar, sentence and paragraph structure. Hiring Mrs. McGray was and remains a great decision, our child has not struggled with exams or assignments that require reading or writing.
She has been with us for +5 years, and our child has a firm grasp of comprehensive reading and writing. She has a love of classic literature and can cursive write. We attribute our child’s successes in all aspects of her learning to the tutelage of Mrs. McGray.

My daughter had to write a pre-algebra test in a few days and I was concerned she was struggling. I contacted SoFlo online, expressed my concern and in spite of the tight schedule they moved things around to accommodate my daughter. I witnessed the session and it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I love the teaching method, and that my daugher was offered multiple methods to solve the same problem. I recommend SoFlo highly!
