    Our son started in a new high school, 100% remote, and was really struggling with Latin and Physics.

  • 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.

    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.

TESTIMONIALS

Lucas’ teachers note he has made good progress. Janesse was a very effective tutor. She learned how to maintain Lucas’ attention and found engaging material to enhance Lucas’ reading and writing skills.

 

– Barbara S.

Dusty is a very caring, compassionate tutor. He provided great solutions and taught valuable strategies whenever Ren encountered writing and/or executive function issues. Dusty never pushed Ren to complete his tasks when he was overwhelmed, but knew exactly how to encourage him when needed. Thanks to Dusty’s expertise, Ren was able to turn things around quickly. He grew more confident, started to manage his tasks better, and is no longer experiencing difficulties completing his writing assignments. As parents, we appreciated Dusty providing us detailed updates after each session. We highly recommend Dusty.

 

– Meiko  

We were happy with the services and reached our goal of having Ellie reach competency in writing. She received another 3 for writing for her final grade in writing. Janeese was warm and friendly making it very easy for Ellie to open up and work with her these many months.We would have loved for Ellie to receive a 4, but are realistic given she is in a G&T school with a curriculum one year ahead.

 

– Eddie     

Samantha was great! Samantha was always punctual, nice, and clear with her message to my son in her sessions. It helped my son improve his writing skills, and his schoolwork and gain some confidence in writing. After each session, she explained how he was doing and his progress, which I appreciated.
