We had a very positive experience with Alissa as a tutor for our pod of 5th grade boys from January - June 2020.

The pod experience was invaluable … More for all of our families during a difficult year and we were so grateful to have found this partnership! We also want to appreciate Craig for helping to match us with a tutor on very short notice after we had cycled through a few folks who were not able to see the commitment through.

As an adult student diagnosed with a learning disability during grad school, I knew I needed help dealing with my Master's program's demanding workload. I was seriously considering dropping out when I was referred to Themba Tutors. … More I was paired up with a wonderful tutor, Julie, who was a total lifesaver. I learned many techniques that I can utilize in the future as I embark on the next phase of my career.
I can wholeheartedly say after working with Themba for two years that I would not have finished my program without this organization. And I am so thankful I selected them. -

Cailin made Math accessible and understandable to her in a way that even her teachers had not been able to do. She differentiated reading, writing and math tasks and assignments to tailor them to my daughter’s unique learning differences. Not only did it have an effect on her grades and her work efficiency, but she finally could do her work with less anxiety. Even my daughter’s teachers used Cailin’s guidance to modify their work with her. But most importantly, she became my daughter’s favorite resource. I can’t say how invaluable Cailin has been to my daughter’s progress and well-being. I’d recommend her a million times over. She is a gem.

TESTIMONIALS
I’m listening to the Earth Science tutoring session from a distance and wow she is impressive! !! We have been thru so many
tutors (more for math over the years). They’ve worked but Charlie gets so bored. She is so engaged with Khalilah! She really
knows how to connect with Charlie and quickly figure out what she needs to learn. Thanks Craig!

My 2e student needed support in a critical science class, and I was initially unsure how she would do in an online format. Since we live across the country, we decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad we did. Thanks to Lilly, my daughter has learned how to study in a way that truly fits her unique learning profile and strengths, and she is now thriving. I’ve also been consistently impressed by Themba Tutors’ clear communication and thoughtful follow-up. We’re incredibly grateful. (l am truly grateful!)
Thanks!

I’ve had many tutors come thru my door over the years and feel there is something very special and extra professional about the
tutors from Themba. They all understood my son s needs and had an amazing way of working with him. Kadyn tutored my son
last year and I feel she contributed to his growth in all areas of learning. Her level of education was high and she had a very kind
and calming personality that made it easy for my son to connect with her. I asked him what he thought of Kadyn. He said she
helped me read articles, pull out information, organize my thoughts and put my ideas on paper. It made me feel more successful
as a student.

We had a wonderful experience with our tutor Micaela. She helped our son not only academically but at every level. We will be forever grateful to have her in our lives.
