Linda M. was a great tutor for my daughter who was preparing for the SAT. My daughter now feels much more confident in her ability to write a good essay and has incorporated the many tips in all the language arts portions of the test. Linda knows how to encourage and motivate the student to practice, learn and improve.

Linda showed up promptly for my son's SAT tutoring session at our home. She got to work right away with him and so I left them alone for the two-hour session. My son said she was a great tutor and he felt like he learned a lot and would continue to learn a lot during the upcoming sessions. He was pleased and so I was VERY pleased!

Not only is Linda knowledgeable, she is very patient and approachable. My son enjoys working with her and looks forward to their sessions. She has made what was a potentially stressful situation dealing with our son's challenges with math and an upcoming standardized test very manageable. We are so glad to have found her.
