Katie J. says, "Shawn is the most amazing tutor I have ever had the privilege of working with. Before I started working with Shawn, my grade in chemistry was pretty low. Thanks to Shawn, I received an A on my final exam and finished with an A in general chemistry. Between sessions, he sent me links to helpful websites and created powerpoints on topics I was struggling with. He truly cares about and is committed to a student's success. I highly recommend Shawn." Read more

I believe making connections and having fun play an important role in a child's learning. I love teaching. I love the moments when a struggling student finally figures something out. I love teaching students that there are ways to have fun and learn.

Hello! My name is Alicia Penta, but my current students call me Miss Penta. I work as a 7th grade inclusion special education teacher, and I have been for 4 years. I love working with my students because everyone needs a cheerleader, and I am able to do that for them! I teach math, science, ELA, and Ancient Civ, I can tutor any subject, besides foreign language. The biggest takeaways I want my students to have when they leave the 7th grade is confidence and the ability to use strategies to help them be successful.

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

Mr. Smith is easily the best tutor I've ever worked with. From his patience to his fun personality, it was always a joy being tutored by him. Mr. Smith always had a deep understanding of the material and was able to explain it in different ways that helped you understand it as well. I would recommend Mr. Smith as a tutor to anyone that needs help with their schoolwork or just wants to get ahead of the class.
