Vanessa

My daughter has really been struggling and Vanessa is very patient. On the first day she gave my daughter a diagnostic test not just to cover math material but to assess her feelings about math and how she gets help from her teacher. She also contacted the teacher to get as much insight as possible so she could work with the teacher. Ms. V is always early for appointments and her tutoring sessions start on time. I like that she is very organized and always comes prepared for each session with problems and activities. My daughter is in High School but still loves that she gets stickers as reinforcement.

Vanessa provides outstanding academic support. Initially she began tutoring sessions in preparation for the HSA Algebra exam in December 2014. In addition, she is now conducting tutoring sessions in algebra and geometry. Vanessa is organized and well prepared which facilitates effective learning. In order to reinforce material covered in each session, she gives assignments that include the creation of vocabulary flash cards and completion of work packets. Also, she provides addresses for various websites that contain math problems and games. Furthermore, her review for each session is very detailed and documents what instruction she provided. Vanessa is professional, yet she is personable and easy to work with. Her commitment to increasing the comprehension of subject matter is quite obvious and impressive. I am very pleased with and appreciative of Vanessa's expertise and dedication.

Simply the best tutor I've worked with on WyzAnt. Vanessa is extremely professional and provides feedback after each session. This allows for me to use positive reinforcement and ensure my nieces are utilizing the skills they acquire doing the session! My nieces who receive tutoring are very happy with the lessons and feel comfortable with the material. I remember reading over an email Vanessa provided regarding my nieces improvement and it made me cry to see the noticeable increase of their grades! She’s really good!

As a parent, I couldn't be more pleased with Vanessa who goes above and beyond. She is a very helpful, well organized, always prepared and an awesome tutor. She is very knowledgeable in the subject matter and has been able to make a connection with my daughter (which is very hard to do). She is committed to my daughter's success. Before my daughters first lesson, Vanessa not only took the time to consult with me as the parent but my daughter as well to quickly pinpoint her strengths and weaknesses to determine where she was having difficulty. To keep track, she created and maintain a syllabus and after meeting twice a week, a detailed, descriptive session summaries is emailed to keep us informed on what is covered in each lesson, her progress, and practice assignments on what should be worked on to solidify what was learned. In addition, exams are given at the end of the week. She is very excellent at reducing the more complicated math terms into simple, everyday language that helped my daughter gain an understanding of how to apply specific formulas. Vanessa has never hesitated to put our minds at ease with her consistent communication and has made sure to answer any of our concerns regarding my daughter’s progress. I'm so impressed, I plan to have Vanessa assist my daughter with all of her Math courses, even throughout college if need be. I am truly thankful to have found Vanessa, her professionalism, knowledge of Mathematics and teaching methods are outstanding! Thank you for your continued commitment to my daughter’s success.

My son loves working with Miss Vanessa! She is very patient and she is able to make things easier for him to understand. We wanted to boost his skills and confidence as he prepares to test into private schools and Miss Vanessa is working hard for us to obtain our goals. She is very patient, flexible and she provides the tools he needs to master each skill set. We give Miss Vanessa an A+!!!
