Eve is a very passionate educator with great "kid karma". After only a few sessions with our son, he says already her test taking strategies helped him with a Social Studies test! We had hoped that these sessions would not only prepare him for SATs but also help him with his regular studies. This is proof that he's on his way already, with Eve's experienced guidance. We look forward to more of this in the coming weeks. Thank you.

Eve did a wonderful job of working on writing assignments with our son who was a junior in high school. She had a great rapport with our son, and was very flexible with her schedule to help meet our son's deadlines. She even Skyped with him on a last minute assignment which was very helpful. We highly recommend Eve.

Eve did an excellent job working with my daughter to improve her writing and grammar skills this summer. She is very thorough and patient. She also has a fun personality and relates well to teens. My daughter looked forward to her sessions with Eve and definitely got a lot out of the sessions!
Vincy F. from East Hampton, NY
Eve helped me to edit my college application essay. Eve is a tutor who really cares about students just like her self-description says! I am not a native English speaker and sometimes my writing is hard to understand; however, Eve was very patient to listen to me about what I wanted to express and helped me with it. She was also very intelligent and has excellent communication skills. She could always understand my meaning easily and always gave me helpful feedback. Also, she is a very responsible tutor. She did what she said; when she promised to check my essay on that day, she did it even though I knew she was busy. Last but not least, she is effective and enthusiastic. One time, there was only about half an hour left to due my essay, but I still had a lot of grammar mistakes and sentence construction problems. Eve helped me to fix all the problems in that short time so that I was able to submit it on time! She is the best tutor I've ever met!

Eve has done an amazing job helping my student to strengthen and utilize important skills in Writing and Math. Eve has helped him slow down, become more organized and use strategies to ensure his homework is turned in on time too. Of course, all of this has helped improve our son's grades and boost his confidence. His teachers have noticed a difference in his work at school too. Most of all, though, what I am most happy about is the sound of laughter that I hear as he and Eve work on his homework and study skills together. He looks forward to his tutoring sessions and is happy afterward! Thank you!

My daughters really took to Eve and thoroughly enjoyed their time with her. She gained their trust very quickly and made the lessons fun and interesting.
Elizabeth T. from Weston, CT
Eve responded immediately to my somewhat unusual request that she tutor a young Afghan high school senior in TOEFL. She arrived on time and worked diligently with the student. I'd recommend Eve to everyone!
Debbie T. from Port Chester, NY
Our daughter has been working with Eve for the past few weeks and is very happy. Eve is prepared and provides homework to be reviewed at the next session. Our daughter enjoys the sessions and feels comfortable asking questions and is interested in the way Eve presents the materials. After having taken the March exam, Eve followed up with my daughter as soon as the scores were available. It is a true reflection of how she really cares for her students and their success.
Donna O. from New Canaan, CT
Eve tutored my son twice this week to help him prepare for two mid-terms. We could tell by the interaction between Eve and our son that she has a way of making students feel comfortable. With two sons of her own, Eve seems to know teenage boys. Her technique of preparing outlines of the material really helped him understand the material and feel confident. He got a solid "B" on the exam! We will definitely be calling Eve to help both our sons in the future. We feel she can assist with not only specific subjects, but also with time management and organization.
Gina D. from Westport, CT
Eve is very patient and professional. My son's writing and organizational skills have vastly improved since working with her. He seems more confident in his ability to get through his work and is proud of the end product. Eve is knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate, and truly wants to bring out the best in your child academically while fostering a love for learning.
Marcony S. from Fairfield, CT
First lesson with Eve was very informative, she has the ability to explain the material in a way which makes it easier to grasp, looking forward to our next session.
Catherine G. from Westport, CT
Very patient and attentive with my daughter. My daughter felt confident with the material covered at the end of the session.
Nick T. from Sandy Hook, CT
Eve helped me out me out greatly for preparing for the Praxis Test (Writing Section). She is an amazing tutor! I learned so much from her! Oh and I passed the test by the way!
Caitie P. from Stamford, CT
Eve was extremely helpful in assisting my daughter with her Honors College essay. She worked quickly and effectively, encouraging her to strengthen her essay's key points (within a very limited word count maximum) while carefully retaining my daughter's distinct writing style. Her strength in editing was invaluable for this often anxiety producing exercise. We look forward to utilizing Eve again in the near future!
