Testimonials
"My children still do tutoring virtually. I prefer virtual. It's more convenient, more one-on-one time without distraction from other people, and the commute is great. Until the virus is controlled, like chickenpox or measles, I wouldn't be comfortable bringing my child to the center. The center is too small for a group of people to get tutoring and not potentially get exposed. I would love to continue to virtual and still make a donation from time to time." -Roxann Derricott
"The program is amazingly helpful. My kids improved in school, giving them opportunities to bond with other individuals that encouraged and supported learning and doing their best."
What was the concern before your child participated in our tutoring service?
I was concerned about my child being able to "keep up." As the work was becoming harder, I needed him to have a reliable way to get help on subjects I could no longer help him with. For example, if he had trouble on Monday with a concept, he knew he would see his tutor on Friday, and they could get him straight before the class moved on to the next concept.
What made you choose our service over anything else you could have done?
Affordability, Accessibility, Flexibility, and Inclusion
What results did your child get from participating in our tutoring service?
Maintained scholastic honors
What is life like now that your child has experienced our tutoring service?
I would say he learned how to prioritize and organize himself better. He also learned how to be a better advocate for himself and reach out and ask for help with things he does not know.
