Many thanks to Stanley and Top Tutors! My son earned an A in Algebra 2 for the Fall semester! On the today’s final, he got 100%! Many thanks for all — it really helps with his confidence with math and school in general.
Jasmine
12th Grader
I loved how encouraging my [Tutor for Us] tutor was, she really helped me think that I could improve and helped me perform better. I also liked that she was patient and didn’t judge at all coming in and was super willing to help every time. She was also very down to Earth and was not robot in the sense that we would just breeze through questions but took the time to ask about my week and recognize when I needed a break as well. She is honestly such a great tutor and I benefitted a lot from working with her.
