Ms. Dany is a blessing to our child. By January, the teachers were discussing retaining Preethi. We just got the word that Preethi is ready for third grade and writing better than all of her peers. We look forward to continuing into the future with our classes and Preethi's younger brother!

My children were having difficulty in European History. Sam spent four lessons with them and their grades improved. He was generous with his time and remains a close family friend even after my children graduated.

Kali has been tutoring my son for a couple of months. He is a great tutor. My son enjoys the lessons and they are interesting and fun. He is learning more each week and looks forward to his lessons. My son has a sense of accomplishment at the end of each season and is proud of himself.

John is the best!! He was so insanely helpful with the material and very patient with concepts I struggled with. He was able to put it in ways that were clear and easy for me to understand. He was very well prepared and if he didn’t have an immediate answer to something, he knew where to go to figure it out and how to problem solve. Best tutor ever!
