Michelle L. says, "Patrick tutored my 9th grade daughter in Geometry, and we had such a positive experience. He is friendly, approachable, and brought a fresh perspective to the material. My daughter mentioned that she felt much more comfortable learning with him because of his patience and supportive style. With his help, she not only earned an A in the class but also gained valuable test-taking strategies, like practicing sequencing and breaking problems into steps. I highly recommend Patrick as a tutor!" Read more

I incorporate a variety of techniques to tailor lessons to students’ unique personalities, goals, and learning styles.

Johanna C. says, "My grandson has been working with Marie for over six months. During that time, we have noticed a marked improvement in his reading skills and comprehension. This is a kid who used to “hate” reading but has recently begun picking up books on his own and reading “for fun". This would have never happened prior to her tutelage. My grandson can get overwhelmed by new concepts and ideas. But, with Marie’s patience and lesson plans based on his interests, he is not only learning to read better, but gaining an appreciation for it. I highly recommend her." Read more

Sophia W. says, "My daughter was in 3rd grade reading at a 1st grade level. I reached out to Eric and immediately felt at ease. All of my concerns were met with thoughtfulness and warmth on our initial phone call and after our first session, I knew it was a perfect match. Over the course of the school year, my daughter went from throwing tantrums every day before school, to keeping up with her classmates and thriving as a student. If you want someone who is going to pinpoint exactly what your child's needs and change their life, Eric at Butterfly Lit is your person." Read more

Catherine J. says, "I wish there were more stars! This has been an exceptional class, full of academics all in Spanish. MaryClare meets the students where they are in English and then brings them forward in Spanish. My learner has learned so much and is so proud of herself. We have whole notebooks filled with printables from the class that were provided prior to class which is so important when learning a new language. I simply cannot say enough about this class."
