Cara

Luke M. from Damascus, MD

All went well we will continue as budget allows. Cara and our daughter worked well together we are looking forward to more lessons!

Jamie T. from Rockville, MD

Cara is extremely patient and knowledgeable. She has come to lessons prepared with practice questions and takes the time to explain each problem. She has provided me with clarity and insight to problems that I would not have achieved on my own.

Sebastian A. from Washington, DC

Cara is prepared, thorough, patient and focused. I feel very lucky to have found her for my 15 year old son who said he has learned more from her these last few days than he did all year in school.

Sandra A. from Silver Spring, MD

Cara Marie is very patient and helpful. She comes to her lessons prepared at all times. And having her as a teacher is a decision I will never regret.

Susan S. from Milwaukee, WI

Cara Marie M. seemed wonderful our first session. Over the next month she was late, cancelled and didn't show up for scheduled sessions.

Laura J. from Bethesda, MD

My daughter is struggling with Algebra 2 and met with Cara Marie on one occasion and had a phone tutoring session on another. My daughter finds Cara Marie very easy to work with and patient. She is very thorough and makes sure my daughter understands the concept before she moves on. She was unable to meet with us for a tutor session but made arrangements to talk with her over the phone. It was actually a huge help and my daughter is feeling more confident in this class knowing that her tutor is available to help her. We look forward to more tutor sessions and appreciate how much Cara Marie has helped my daughter so far.

Maryanne S. from New Berlin, WI

Cara was fast to reply every time we had a question. Cara was friendly, and patient when she met with my daughter. My daughter has more confidence in taking her ACT test and it is all because Cara has helped her.

Asha H. from Hyattsville, MD

She is the best tutor I have ever had. She is really patient and accommodating. She always find time to fit in a session regardless of her busy schedule and she really knows her stuff!! Like she REEEEAAALLLLYYY knows her stuff!! I would recommend her to anybody! She definitely saved my life in Organic Chemistry.

Dee L. from Gaithersburg, MD

Cara has been a lifesaver. She is very patient and will go over material until you understand it. Cara is very knowledgeable and can show you different ways to tackle a problem. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help in math.

Oly G. from Falls Church, VA

There are many individuals who have great credentials and really know their areas of studies. However, there are very few people who not only know their content areas, but are outstanding at translating the information!!! Cara is an absolute chemistry Goddess!! She uses simple to understand language to make subjects like biochemistry actually make sense. She waves her magic wand and in her unassuming, judgement-free style, she clarifies very complex concepts. She also takes into account your personal goals and "packages" the information according to what you NEED to know and what you WANT to know. Time spent with her is very efficient and valuable use of time. She also is very responsible, punctual, and committed. She is VERY GENUINELY invested in your success. I was definitely on my way to failing biochemistry and I ended up with a B! She is my superhero!

Jay C. from Dayton, MD

Cara Marie ("CM") is a very good tutor. She has a low-key, laid-back style that I initially wondered about -- not sure how effective she'd be with my son. But, any doubts quickly evaporated as I got to know her and saw the results she's produced. My son is getting help with Calculus AB and CM took time even before her first lesson to find out specifically what he wanted help with and brought along some relevant materials. She is very technically knowledgeable and also possesses a talent for explaining herself clearly in just the right way to make complex concepts intuitive to the student. Not only has CM helped my son raise his grades, she's raised his self-confidence. He’s more self-assured in his mastery of math and his ability to succeed when challenged by difficult material. CM has become more than a tutor to us. She’s a trusted mentor who we hope can also find time to help our son with the challenging bio and chemistry work in his academic future.

Anthony N. from Gaithersburg, MD

Tutor was well organized and knew the material quite well had a plan from the get go and multiple resources. I was very pleased with my first class!!

Kim K. from Clarksburg, MD

CM is wonderful. My son is very comfortable with her teaching style and he is able to understand the material much better after she has helped him. She is totally flexible and accommodating to my son's busy schedule. So glad we found her. She's great!

Allison B. from Great Falls, VA

Cara Marie was an amazing resource during my college application process! She read over my application essays and provided helpful critique to develop my ideas to their fullest potential.

Kim H. from Arlington, VA

Cara Marie was absolutely wonderful! I didn't have access to a car and she was always willing to come to me at home or at work. She went above and beyond and was even willing to check homework and check lab write ups via email outside of our tutoring session. She was great at showing me the tricks and shortcuts and also was good about breaking down the harder concepts! Organic chemistry would have been a nightmare without her!!

Kseniya V. from Potomac, MD

She is a great tutor. Explains everything very clear. She responses to emails and calls. She also sends you additional information about the topics that you are learning.

Nikki M. from Boyds, MD

She's an awesome tutor! She makes sure that I understand and reviews if I don't. Also provides a lot of supplement help.

Michele A. from Brookeville, MD

Cara Marie knows her subject well and has been able to give my daughter the extra help she needs to grasp math concepts and to boost her confidence in her mathematical abilities. Cara Marie has been flexible with her schedule and tries as best she can to assist when math emergencies arise. She is a well qualified and caring tutor.

Barbara S. from Potomac, MD

She is amazing. She understands the most complicated concepts in statistics and gets me to understand them. I feel blessed to have found her. I could never get through the homework without her.

Carmelita J. from Hyattsville, MD

Cara teaches my daughter algebra II. I like the fact that she cares. She makes sure my daughter get the concepts of what she is teaching and understand how to apply it. This is a great way of teaching.

Daniel Z. from Ithaca, NY

Comes thoroughly prepared with material and takes extra time to make sure that the student fully understands the topic at hand. I definitely feel a lot better about enzyme kinetics now if I see it on the MCATs!

Nancy G. from Vienna, VA

When we decided to hire Cara, my son was going through a tough time in his chemistry class. Before my son started working with her, his grades were very low and he was very upset about this. Ever since he had his first class, you could immediately see the change. His grades jumped from an F to a B+ in just a couple of months and it just kept on going upwards from there. Cara has positively impacted many areas in my son's life, such as how confident he feels about the chemistry subjects, his personality, since now he feels more confident about himself during classes, and in his future, since she inspired him to pursue a carrier involving chemistry/organic chemistry. Now he is actually enjoying chemistry, which is amazing. As parents, investing in our children's education is primordial, especially when that education comes from someone who is 100% prepared, knows the subject really well, and is very tolerant and patient towards its students.

Claire M. from Derwood, MD

Cara Marie has been working with me for the past 6 months in preparation for the new MCAT, which recently changed formats in April. She helped me navigate the new biochemistry material, helped me review my foundations in organic chemistry, general chemistry, anatomy and physiology, biology and physics. CM is always prepared for lessons and is a wealth of information pertaining to all things sciences. She really is the complete package when it comes to studying for the MCAT. I recently got my score back from the new MCAT and I got a perfect score, with would have never been possible without CM's help. Studying for the MCAT? This tutor will not disappoint!

Kate U. from Washington, DC

My experience with Cara Marie has been extremely positive. Cara Marie is a must-do if you want to cut your study time in half, focus in on what you need to know for the exam, and ace it!!

Fred M. from Silver Spring, MD

Cara Marie served as an outstanding tutor for our daughter. First, Cara Marie determined, based on practice tests, that our daughter was better suited for the ACT than for the SAT. Then she worked closely with her over a few months -- work that resulted in a high score on our daughter's first ACT test and then a higher score on the second try. Cara Marie not only teaches the topics well; just as important, she teaches test-taking strategies that are so crucial to doing well on these tests. I definitely recommend her.

Kavitha T. from Potomac, MD

My daughter learned some Reading Comp. tips and did a couple of Algebra 2 problems. She feels more confident about improving her Reading skills and took away some Math learning as well.

Kelly V. from Great Falls, VA

My daughter benefited so much from Cara's help! She was prepared and knew how to explain the chemistry concepts in an easy-to-understand way!

Taneen M. from Mc Lean, VA

She tutored undergraduate college level Biochemistry. Cara knows biochemistry in details. This is very important when one needs to cover many of its challenging topics quickly like when taking this course in a short summer session at a university. We highly recommend her.

Alec Z. from Yorktown Heights, NY

I took a summer Calc 3 class with a poorly rated prof. Even after meeting Cara Marie in my 2nd week of a 5 week class, she was able to give me the self esteem and confidence to hang to the end and pass a difficult class for transfer credit. I recommend Cara Marie for any class you might be struggling with. She always managed to make me feel good about my abilities and keep me going. I am going to continue tutoring with her for my next higher advanced math class. Thank you for all you've helped me with, Cara Marie.

Gabriela D. from Moravia, NY

Cara was very professional. She prepared a class for my son with days in advance. It was the first time my son used the online tutoring and he really liked it.

Bohannon S. from Rockville, MD

Cara was very helpful and prepared. Cara taught me GRE Test Math and Statistics. Cara has helped me further master the calculator with statistical concepts.

Eteete D. from Silver Spring, MD

My son Eteete reported that Cara did an excellent job in teaching him Calculus. She is highly knowledgeable in her area of speciality

Erika L. from Lexington Park, MD

Cara helped me study for a placement exam. I intend on utilizing her services throughout my academic program. I definitely feel more confident knowing that I have an experienced tutor to review coursework with.

Kathryn S. from Damascus, MD

She breaks the subject down so that my son really understands what he is doing. He said, "I wish I had her last year!"

Cathy D. from Silver Spring, MD

CM went over a Calculus summer review packet that my son had completed. She checked his answers and helped with solving some problems he had difficulty with.

Kenneth D. from Mount Airy, MD

She has helped me prepare for my calc 2 class over the summer, we were able to move through multiple chapters quickly and effectively. Cara Marie is a very intelligent tutor who is good at explaining methods and how to use them appropriately.

Lesley Y. from Washington, DC

Great overview of basic calculus and pre-calculus concepts. Had online resources available to practice what I learned on my own.

Su S. from Mc Lean, VA

Cara Marie helped my daughter review Algebra 1 and preview Algebra 2 over the summer. For me the parent, she was amazingly professional, very prompt in email communication, always on time, and very understanding when we needed to reschedule. For my daughter the student, Cara Marie was very efficient in explaining new information and reviewing basic skills. My daughter was able to finish her review work and learn new concepts in a relatively short amount of time. Many thanks, CM!

Elizabeth N. from Sandy Spring, MD

Cara Marie has provided my daughter help in Calculus and Writing. In doing so, has reduced her stress level and increased her confidence as she enters the 10th grade. Cara Marie is a fantastic teacher and I highly recommend her!

Hans Z. from Rockville, MD

On our first lesson she gave me tips and tricks and the most efficient methods that most students tend to find helpful. She is very supportive and helpful in making the answer clear.

Brenda S. from Rollingstone, MN

Cara was very helpful w/ physics. She is very patient, quick to respond and pleasant to work with. She helped my daughter understand concepts easier. Thanks Cara!

Kristi B. from Jasper, GA

Cara is the best! She is extremely patient and she comes prepared to our lesson! I will only use Cara moving forward.

Allyson T. from Walnut Creek, CA

Cara Marie responded very quickly to my (a little panicky) request for her help on a set of problems I had due the next day and made short work of them! Her teaching style made confusing and difficult material seem simple in less than 45 minutes. I loved working with her and would definitely recommend a session with her to my friends. Thanks so much!

Farrah E. from Parker, CO

Cara is open and knowledgeable! First meeting went great, able to cover topics and questions with ease! Great suggestions for further practice. Plans made ahead for next meeting!

Alexandra M. from Gaithersburg, MD

My daughter has really made progress in her SAT, ACT tests after her tutoring sessions with Cara. Cara has a great sense of identifying and focusing in on the areas my daughter needs the most help with. This makes her sessions even more helpful and the results are immediate. Cara's enthusiasm for the subject is inspiring and she is very personable.

Isabel K. from Rockville, MD

This tutor was extraordinary, from responsiveness, scheduling, to the actual delivery of services. We highly recommend her and look forward to scheduling many more lessons!

Dana Y. from Brighton, CO

She broke the problems down in easy to understand terms. She was very kind and made me feel comfortable while asking questions.

Cara was able to help immediately with my English grammar. Excellent tutor and I will definitely use her service in the future. Thank you =)

Karen P. from Danville, CA

Cara is exactly what I hoped and prayed for! Gianna had a great session. Well worth the money spent!

Helen F. from Virginia Beach, VA

She goes above and beyond. Meticulous and makes you feel like it's her grade on the line when she's helping you with a concept. We worked through the finer points of the Gluconeogenesis pathway. Really a great tutor!

Sandy L. from Princeton, NJ

My calculus study is moving along much faster with the one on one attention of Cara. While i still slip up from time to time, she is more than willing to explain work to me in several different ways until I truly understand what I am up against.

Lorrie R. from Seaford, DE

Cara was very patient and explained things in a way that I understood. She is encouraging and doesn't make you feel bad when you aren't sure of the answers. I am looking forward to our next session.

Laura P. from Chesapeake, VA

She gave me a better understanding of Punnett Squares, helped define mitosis and meiosis, and more. She was interactive and made sure I knew the information.

Sally A. from Washington, DC

Cara is prepared, thorough, patient and focused. I feel very lucky to have found her for my 15 year old son who said he has learned more from her these last few days than he did all year in school.

Penny K. from Cape Coral, FL

Cara Marie was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about the subject matter and was able to help me understand the material better than I had before meeting with her.

Gia V. from Washington, NJ

In the first 30 minutes, Cara explained what our HS teacher could not. My daughter felt immediately better, and understood the concept. She is now confident that her physics work will improve. What a relief!

Kasey K. from New York, NY

Cara was great. I am studying for the TEAS test. I am an LPN but I have to take the test to go back for my RN. Cara helped me with math and science. I scheduled my next session before this one was even over. I feel like a weight has been lifted. So excited for the next session!

My daughter loved her. She is extremely well prepared, caring, and professional, highly motivated to make sure the time is well spent and that the student gets a lot from working with her.

Rhonda S. from Murrieta, CA

She taught me Physics basically the first part of physics like semesters worth in 2 hours! it was amazing and i TOTALLY understood it more than i ever have! she is patient explains things well and will repeat things until u get it. If you don't use her...shame on you! hehe

Eleanor N. from Bethesda, MD

Cara Marie tutors my daughter on several subject areas. One area of focus is reading and comprehension. After 8 lessons over 2 months, my daughter's PSAT score for reading improved by 80 points. That's results, and an undeniable testimony that Cara Marie is an effective tutor. Equally important is that the tutoring lessons have been fun, tailored and well-paced.

Diana D. from Rockville, MD

Simply put, Cara is a miracle worker. After being absent for three weeks, she has helped my daughter get back on track in chemistry and algebra. Her patience and knowledge in these areas make it seem effortless, and my daughter loves her!! Thank you Cara!!

Charles G. from Grosse Pointe, MI

Very knowledgeable about AP Calculus and everything it entails. Cara Marie helped me understand concepts I've been struggling with all semester only a day before my last test. I will definitely be contacting her again soon, she is a great tutor!

Danica S. from New York, NY

Feeling overwhelmed with preparing for the MCAT but not wanting to take an expensive prep class, Cara Marie's daily 30 minute group review has been my saving grace! Working, taking classes and volunteering while preparing for the MCAT has been one of my biggest struggles has been trying to integrate studying into my busy schedule. These short daily reviews that Cara Marie creates based on the MCAT syllabus, have helped give my studying the structure and jump start I desperately needed. She has the gift of taking complex topics (Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics etc), and makes these topics easy to understand. These group reviews are perfect to attend as a supplement to a review class (such as Examkrackers, Princeton Review etc) or for those studying independently. In addition to the 30 minute review also includes practice problems, summary sheets for various topics and recordings of each session! If you are feeling lost or overwhelmed with preparing for this exam, start attending MCAT group reviews!

Shannon F. from Las Cruces, NM

Cara is amazing! I was apprehensive about online tutoring but didn't have a choice (there were no local tutors available). Cara walked me through concepts I had a difficult time understanding and relieved a lot of the stress and aggravation I started with. I will definitely be using her again!

Celine O. from Sterling, VA

Cara Marie M. helped me so much! We worked on problems from my study guide and I feel much more confident about my upcoming test.

Jordan M. from New York, NY

Cara is extremely helpful, super friendly, and very knowledgeable about all things MCAT. I would recommend her to anyone, and have definitely benefitted from her help!

Elizabeth M. from Street, MD

Cara Marie is one of the most patient and helpful tutors I have come to work with through wyzant. We have worked together for two semesters now on organic chemistry (1 and 2) and physics with calculus (1 and 2). She really knows her stuff, and she is very passionate and knowledgeable about what she teaches. As a chemistry major, I have struggled immensely in my upper level courses because of poor teachers at my institution and the inability for them to help me grasp important concepts. Cara Marie takes all the confusion and stress out of such difficult to learn subjects and makes them understandable to the way a particular individual learns it best. Not only has she helped me better master such material, but she is patiently working with me to better solve problems to help me with my test/exam taking strategies. I get extremely anxious and nervous about all of my exams, despite understanding the material. Cara Marie has helped me better tackle this stress and anxiety by working on the material in a way that helps me learn it AND apply it better. I haven't met a teacher more devoted to wanting to help her students succeed and excel in whatever subject matter they are studying. I am so fortunate I found her as a tutor through wyzant and I continue to improve in all aspects of my courses as I go through my semesters. I highly recommend this tutor to any student going through difficult science or math material/courses, especially college level material. Cara Marie is very accommodating to an individual's needs and will always be the first person I reach out to for help in my college courses.

Darlene S. from Montgomery, AL

Cara worked with my son for over 2 weeks and his grade improved 5 points. This was enough to secure an A on the semester in AP Chem. She makes difficult concepts quite simple to understand. She is definitely worth the money.

Noemi N. from Bethesda, MD

Before I started tutoring with Cara Marie I felt completely overwhelmed by all things MCAT, but the combination of her online group lessons and one on one tutoring has not only helped me tackle the various subjects, it has also greatly improved my confidence. Whether it's a one hour, one on one lesson or the 30 min group lesson, Cara Marie is able to break down each topic and shows you how/why something works the way it does as opposed to simply asking you to memorize. With the online group sessions you have access to all of CM's previous lectures, which I constantly refer to for clarification as I study, as well as scientific literature, practice problems, and subject overviews. I would highly recommend both the one on one tutoring and the group lessons to anyone who is looking to improve their scores.

Sai R. from Ashburn, VA

Really awesome teacher. Thanks for tutoring me. Physics makes a lot more sense now. Get her; she's an amazing tutor.
