Ernelle O. from Richton Park, IL
Susan is excellent. Her expertise with Word is so on point. I was taught a wealth of information. Before meeting her, I was user-stupid. She is the reason why I am succeeding in my online courses. I would recommend her to anyone I know.
Deborah S. from Indianapolis, IN
Figured out what is needed and works towards fixing it! My daughter looks forward to the online sessions. At first she was doubtful, but Susan won her over!

Susan, tutors my 10 years son who's in the 6th grade. Although, we have have only been working with Susan for a week. The future is looking very promising. My son and I look forward to going to his tutoring section. She's very patient, pleasant and knowledgeable.
