Creative Tutors of Wake County, North Carolina
« PTA School Assembly Wildlife Programs :: Literacy »Last week I received a phone call from a client whom we had worked with several years ago. Her two children tutored with Eric (science) and Marc (math) in 2002. The client recalled our tutors names! I recalled her voice instantly and when she told me her name I knew exactly who she was. It was great to hear about her children and their success in school since the tutoring had ended. It is my personal mission to help children reach their potential and ability levels and it was clear that these children were doing just that and that their mother was proud of their accomplishments.
Follow up:
So, my mind was swirling with questions.... But...why was she calling me after all these years? And yes, she still had my cell phone number! ....and I asked "how may I help you?"
She told me that her experience had been wonderful and rewarding with Creative Tutors. Her children had become better students and excited about learning. They each recall this moment in time when Creative Tutors stepped in and helped get academics under control and positioned her children for their future. Of course, I am thrilled to hear that she carried all these great feelings with her still today! I knew my company had accomplished its mission.
Her nephew now is experiencing similar problems in science and math. The only people she would trust to get the job done right was Creative Tutors! Now, guess who are tutoring her nephew? Eric and Marc! Our tutors are experienced! And yes, they work with us long term. The tutor is a valued member of our tutoring team and the success of each of our students comes from a coordinated and purposeful direction implemented and felt by each member of of the team!
