Dolores and I started working together my freshman year of college when I struggle with pre calculus and kept working together for the 3 following years as I had to take Calc 1 and 2 and linear algebra for my Computer science major. She’s the best teacher I’ve ever had, even better than my professors, and it was a blessing to be able to work with her all these years! Thank you so much Dolores »

I come to United state this year and this class helped me a lot. The thing that make Ms. Idriss's class special is she does not teach us just because she have to , but because she want to . The energy she gives when she teach will make you eager to learn everyday. I really had a hard time talking to people because I feared I will be wrong , but she gave me the courage to speak and improve my English step by step which helped me meet new friends this year.
We wrote a lot of essay too . This helped me to improve my writing skills and vocubulary skills . Her class is so fun especially when we talk about our cultural backgrounds with our classmates.She always tell us that being different is fine and we don't have to fit in which helped me a lot in this school year.

Maureen is an excellent tutor. We were fortunate that she was able to tutor all three of our kids - over a span of 8 years on both the SSAT and SAT. After working with Maureen, each of our children did significantly better on the standardized tests. A very experienced tutor, Maureen is smart, organized, creative and really seems to love working with kids - and they love working with her. She created a comfortable and supportive learning environment for each of our kids. By teaching them techniques and strategies in such a clear and effective way, Maureen helped them to stay focused and not overwhelmed. She boosted their confidence and, subsequently, helped them boost their test scores. Over the years, we have been so grateful for Maureen's kindness, patience, encouragement and enthusiasm as she helped our children navigate the standardized tests. Needless to say, you really can't get a better tutor than Maureen. I absolutely recommend her!
