We have had her full time for 6 years now and every step of the way she has been a major part of my son's success. She is exceptionally knowledgeable in all aspects of education.

My son is now graduating from Frostig school and on his way to PCC. INDEPENDENTLY! If you hire Christine you will be very happy and your child will receive outstanding care. " Read more

David V. says, "First and foremost to me as a Dad is safety and trust: Hezzy was referred to me by my son's 2 closest friends' parents, who are thrilled with Hezzy on all levels - Hezzy is a very honest, kind, ethical and trustworthy person, and an excellent tutor / educator. Both parents told me their son's grades have been going up, especially in Math and English. My son (16 yrs.) and I are very happy with Hezzy. Hezzy has been working with my son for about a year and a half, and his Math understanding has been improving significantly, and his grade has gone up. His confidence in Math is much greater as well. Highly recommend Hezzy!" Read more

Kei S. says, "Great tutor who is very patient and helpful. Adapts to my needs. There's a little "curse of knowledge" going on--ie, the assumption that I know more than I really do---but we work together to overcome that. Additionally, my tutor suggested some behavioral habits and minor diet changes that actually worked for me. I will be working with my tutor, Fred, again!" Read more

Hello everyone! I have been working as an independent tutor since 2022 (3+ years of experience) and I love to do so!
