Martha is really good with my daughter. She maintains a calm demeanor, positive attitude, and a has low pressure method of teaching. Martha has been using methods to help teach math that are helping my daughter learn math skills in a fun way. My daughter looks forward to her tutoring sessions and has stopped having meltdowns over math. Math was a struggle but now she wants to work on her math skills. Martha is helping build her self-confidence in math. As a parent, I would recommend Martha as a tutor.

My son's skills are improving which we had expected. His increased confidence and increased engagement were a surprise. I would highly recommend Martha.

My 11 year old daughter and I just completed our fourth 1.5 hour lesson with Martha. We have learned so many signs, proper ASL grammar, and the appropriate way to sign with the Deaf community. Her teaching style involves positive reinforcement, enthusiasm, and patience. She is organized and teaches in a clear and concise manner. Each lesson builds on the previous one. She is easy to follow has a wealth of information to share!

Martha is working with my son on sentence construction. Her ability to adapt to his learning style has amazed me every lesson.

Martha is an excellent tutor. In only four weeks my family have seen significant improvement on my English. My confidence level has increased enormously and I feel good when I talk or write to friends, family and/or co-workers.
