Barbara has been my daughter's tutor for over a year now. We feel really grateful for having her. She is very patient, and very knowledgeable. Often my daughter comes back from school with questions, uncertainties, Barbara can always make things easily clarified. "She explained much more clearly than my teacher" is my daughter's frequent comments. With her help, my daughter is more confident now, and her English grade going up to A. Thank you, Barbara! We really appreciate it.
Barbara L. from Pleasant Hill, CA
Barbara was a wonderful tutor and great for test prep help! She was extremely patient and gave me the confidence I needed to pass the CBEST. She went above and beyond even after our session was over. She was extremely diligent when explaining a math problem and showing me the best way to come upon an answer. After meeting with her I felt much more confident than I ever thought I could!

She is very patient and professional. I have trouble filling out my college application form, and she reviews and helps me to revises each section. As an English tutor, she really can give you all you may need in English.

We needed a great deal of German grammar in a limited amount of time. Barbara has been able to tailor lessons around our student's needs. She is focused, thorough, and very approachable, and we would happily recommend her to anyone.
