Mimi

Sue R. from San Rafael, CA

Mimi is extremely knowledgeable in her field of history (she has a PHD!) and in what we have selected her for - AP European History. In addition to this, and of utmost importance - she knows how to teach! She is not only charming, she is thorough in her explanations, delivers it in a clear direct manner with concise communication, seems to warm up to anyone she encounters, has a great deal of enthusiasm which is inspiring, can get down to basics very quickly, assesses the situation, is fair in her rate structure, doesn't waste a second of time and we are extremely pleased. She interacts to create a fun learning environment. We have only had two sessions, but my high school sophomore daughter is already pleased with the progress they are making, which will carry over into other subjects in terms of balancing time and what to focus on with the vast amount of material to cover. (Note I have a very bright child who is over booked and over worked, yet Mimi knew exactly how to work with her and to meet the challenge!) Our goal is to successfully complete AP Euro History prepared for the exam next May with the highest grade possible in the course and we think Mimi will have no trouble getting us there, if we stick to her plan. We have signed up for weekly tutoring sessions. I met with a couple of other tutors and spoke to several on the phone. Without a doubt Mimi was the best suited and most experienced in teaching kids and has the skill, knowledge and passion to do so. I would imagine she would be a success with a broad age range and skill set just given her obvious capabilities as an excellent teacher.

Mimi is a true find. She is helping my daughter develop the research and executive functioning skills to tackle her high school history projects/research papers. They started with brainstorming, developing a direction for finding sources, reviewing the sources and determining which ones to focus on.
