Jean E. (Cambridge, MA)

“For the first time in her homework career. Jenna started bringing work and questions to the table to discuss with her study success coach. Whether she was just developmentally more ready to buckle down or it was her tutor’s sensitivity to her, it was under his tutelage that she started to blossom. Her tutor is cool and lots of fun. He found the key to helping my very fidgety daughter take charge and I will be eternally grateful to him.”
