We are so happy that we found Barbara to tutor my daughter who is currently entering her Sophmore year of High School. We started with Barbara in 8th grade. My daughter was always a B student, but also had trouble grasping all the lessons in a 45 minute class time. She just needed that extra practice, which in turn gave her the confidence to learn. With Barbara's help, she entered 9th grade with much more confidence. This led to her earning 4.0 each quarter and ending the years with a 4.0 and being asked to move up to Honors math. She recently said, I think I am actually good in Math, I just always need more practice and once I grasp it, it clicks. Barbara has given her such confidence in those skills. Barbara has also been great to give guidance for which class to go in and the path for the rest of High School while thinking about college. Barbara is always quick to help us change a time if something comes up and always willing to help us adjust with our busy schedules. Finding a good tutor was so hard and we didn't want to just keep trying new people. I was so happy once I found Barbara as a tutor and have recommended her to others!

Verna and our son hit it off right away. They literally got to work within two minutes. Our son enjoys learning, and Verna has been a good fit. He has only had two sessions, but felt that both were beneficial and helped him to better grasp this difficult content.
