Ryan had the perfect temperament and style for my son. I felt that my son respected Ryan and applied himself for his sake as well as not wanting to disappoint Ryan. The rapport was very important to me and Ryan fit the slot perfectly.

The most helpful part of my tutoring is the fact that I feel really comfortable with Tara. It makes the learning much easier. Plus, she is really good at explaining topics.

The tutors are wonderful people who do care about your success and make an effort to get to know you. One night, I ran into my ACT Writing tutor who I hadn't seen since April and she immediately recognized me by name and we had a quick conversation.
