My son’s experience with the tutor made the first year of college a less intimidating experience.
  • Avatar Jude Eugene ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    We have been with our tutor, Cailin Schiller, for two years, from 5th - 7th grade. She started as an executive functioning tutor with my daughter. From the start, she demonstrated a depth of expertise and a selective use of techniques skillfully … More adapted to my daughter’s ADHD and Math disability. 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.

    We were very lucky to have found Edwouine Swift, my son's therapist through Themba Tutors. Thomas is 12 years old, and it is extremely difficult to get him to write.

TESTIMONIALS

We absolutely loved Rachel! She was so kind, intuitive and beneficial to Miles’ growth, and we couldn’t have been happier. Miles can be a little difficult to keep on track, but Rachel was always able to keep him engaged with the activities. He even raised his reading growth 4 levels in a matter of a few months! There aren’t enough great things we can say about her. Thank you so much for having Rachel be a part of Miles’ educational journey. She will be missed. Thanks again!

We were very happy with Kayla’s services. She was always on time and prepared. My son enjoyed sessions with her and thought they were helpful.

 

-Kristen M.

Working with Dr. David has been a blessing and one of the best investments that we have made in our daughters’ education. Dr. David has instilled confidence, autonomy, and pride in their work. Since we started with Dr. David last year, our girls have been much more invested in school and their performance. They have been more organized, gotten better grades (As and Bs), and are better advocates for their needs in school. He has also been an amazing partner and cheerleader for me and my husband. He follows up and ensures that there is accountability. It definitely takes a village. We are so happy and grateful that Dr. David is part of our village!
