Tutoring....It Works!

Mar 01 | Tutoring....It Works!

Hi Kim,

I just wanted to take a moment and let you know that we really, really appreciated the work that Amy did with our son, John. He went from C’s and D’s in Math (and feeling lost) to A’s!! He just gets it now! It is amazing how taking the time to go back and pick up skills and put them together just clicked! We are all very happy with the results!

While John thinks Math is “easy” now, I am not sure he is really into taking upper level courses, so I don’t know if we will take advantage of that opportunity at this time, but maybe……. We do know that without the extra time and some financial costs, he would absolutely not be where he is today.

Thanks again! It works!

Regards,
M.K.
