I had a Placement Exam and it has been about 2-3 years I haven’t wrote essays but after taking his class, I learner a lot and I passed my Placement Exam! I recommend taking his class and he truly cares about his students!

Miles Smart tutoring is wonderful. They have a consultation to see what your need are and they match you with a tutor that they feel fits the student. They give multiple check-ins to see how you like the tutor, how things are going, and ask your opinions. They really listen. The Tutor Thomas Chicas and my son immediately had a great connection. Thomas was very patient and was such a great help with preparing for tests, exams, and homework. Thomas thoroughly gave detailed explanations when there were things that my son did not understand in Calculus and Physics. I am so glad I have such a good tutor for my son's next three years of college. I feel a sigh of relief now. Many students give up on school because they do not have the support they need. I went from getting multiple calls from my son being stressed out and defeated to now feeling confidant about his classes and looking forward to the next semesters. Miles Smart Tutoring is a lifesaver.

It is my pleasure to write this review for Dana. I am really glad that in my search I met Dana. I really appreciate the multiple positive characteristics that Dana has such as punctuality and positive demeanor. My daughters are always looking forward to having class with Dana and they really like the way she teaches and communicates with them. Dana is very punctual in giving their assignments and making sure that students understand the covered material. She takes into account my concerns and accommodates her teaching based on priorities discussed. Dana regularly gives feedback and keeps me informed about progress that my daughters are making. I will definitely recommend Dana as a tutor.
