Our son was struggling in 5th grade math. He would "shut down" and give up before he even started. Mary Ann was able to get him through his work and built his confidence with math games. He wasn't always outwardly responsive during the sessions and she was very patient with him and gave him breaks when he needed it. By the end of 5th grade he went from all 2's in math to 3's and a 4 in Geometry! He couldn't have done it without Mary Ann's help.
Great at going over the material and quizzing making sure I learned what he was teaching and at a pace that was good for me.
Beth has been tutoring our daughter for almost a year now. She helped with math last year and now high school chemistry this year. She teaches by explaining how to approach problems and thinking through the concepts. She has had a big impact on our daughter's grades and is always flexible in scheduling sessions.
