Karen T. from Christiansburg, VA
My son has really improved his understanding of the question types and how to provide the best answers on the SAT. I am grateful to Carolyn who has tutored my son, and who is not the most driven of students.
Jingmin Z. from Blacksburg, VA
Very experienced teacher and knows how to help the student improve their reading and writing level. I can see a big difference after a few months of teaching. I appreciate your help.
Corie C. from Blacksburg, VA
Carolyn is an extremely talented teacher! My son is encouraged, learning, and always eager for his tutoring! Carolyn is prompt, reliable, and has given us "tools/techniques" to work on between sessions.
Yon C. from Mc Lean, VA
First lesson: Carolyn is a very calm teacher. I can see she really is trying to figure out how my son is processing his brain as he is working. I am looking forward to the next session. My son thought she was very nice.
Justin Z. from Vienna, VA
Carolyn is a very good teacher. She teaches my son English writing very patiently and very effectively. She gets what my son needs to improve very quickly. We would like to have her teach my son in the future.
Carmen A. from Vienna, VA
Carolyn was very undersatandable and with a lot of knowleage. My son (13) acted very well during the tutoring, which for me is the most important! I am very grateful.
