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

    Our son started in a new high school, 100% remote, and was really struggling with Latin and Physics. I found Themba Tudors online and had an initial call with Craig, who was very knowledgeable, responsive, and found 2 amazing tutors for … More us. Both the Latin and the physics tutors were fantastic, connected with my son really well and helped him go from 'failing' grade to 'honors'! I will for sure continue using (and recommending!)

  • Avatar Christine Gennetti ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    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.

    We were introduced to a wonderful tutor: Mcedwyn. He and our son, a freshman in college, worked well together. As a result, our son’s grades significantly improved. The tutor taught our son subject content and various methods to effectively … More study for quizzes and exams. Our son was also taught time management and organization. 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. Edwouine just works her magic with him, he adores her and is so … More eager to follow her guidance. I have no doubt she will be a positive driving force in his academic future.

BEST 1:1 REMOTE GREEK TUTORING FOR HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE STUDENTS

Best 1:1 REMOTE GREEK Tutoring for HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE STUDENTS AND NEURODIVERSITY | FREE CONSULTATIONS & MEET-AND-GREETS WITH OUR STAFF

High school and college students in the U.S. face several struggles when learning Greek, including its complex grammar, different alphabet, and limited exposure for practice. Additional challenges arise from the need to understand cultural contexts and retain extensive vocabulary. Neurodiverse students and those with learning differences, such as ADHD and dyslexia, may struggle with concentration and decoding unfamiliar scripts. Stress, anxiety, and a lack of resources further hinder progress.

This study explores the experiences of Greek students with dyslexia in higher education through interviews with 16 students. Primary school memories were largely negative, impacting self-esteem, while older students faced primarily academic challenges and formed peer friendships. Early diagnosis, parental support, and appropriate educational assistance were identified as key factors for positive outcomes, highlighting the need for more research to create dyslexia-friendly educational environments.

Themba Tutors provides tailored, high-impact tutoring to meet the unique needs of every learner, including those with neurodiverse learning styles. Our dedicated educators deliver personalized instruction, accelerating learning, monitoring progress closely, and collaborating with schools for holistic support.
