Reviews for Rochester special education tutors
Recent success stories from people in the Rochester area.
Huda K.
As with all parents, we try to fill each year with those learning experiences that we expect to have multiplying effects over our children’s lives. We recognize that our schools can do only so much. Teachers, good busy teachers, can only do so much. As parents, we too can only do so much. Thus, our family chose enrichment tutoring with Jane Miller. We chose a super mentor and friend.
Jane has tutored our two children since the attended the high school with great success.
We chose Jane because she establishes a joyful and productive learning relationship with her students. Sessions with Jane are focused and kind. She is patient and observant, realizing readiness and helping students overcome fears and previous defeating experiences.
After a years of work with Jane, our two children are finished 11th grade with a sense that they are well prepared in English. They felt confident to take the advanced placement tests, they excels in English and is proud of their skills particularly because of their works with Jane.
Jane is an extraordinary educator. She forms a positive relationship with her students to help them round out their academic skills and build their determination to succeed. She is also playful and kind. Students trust her.
Our two children have worked with Jane and really benefited as they has gained academic skills, particularly in English.
We highly recommend that parents consider enrichment tutoring with Jane Miller who wants their children to excel with confidence, no confusion and to always be at the top of their class. It is just impossible for a teacher with dozens of students to provide the mentoring that Jane does.
We will continue to use Jane’s enrichment tutoring services. We are convinced that the extra hours a week are deepening our children’s study skills, confidence in asking for and receiving help, and academic mastery.
Sincerely,
Jane Miller
