During college, I tutored a local high-school student who was struggling in her chemistry class. Right away we developed a productive working relationship and in almost no time my student's grades improved significantly - she went from receiving below average scores to As. My student, her mother and I were beside ourselves with delight - I would absolutely love the opportunity to reproduce these results with other students. I am a strong believer in starting with a student's strengths, build...

Fariba has worked well with my daughter for her honors chemistry class. She was easy to schedule sessions with and was very accommodating with different study venues at different times. She always responded to emails while others did not.

Fariba was very patient and explained Chemistry so I could actually understand what was happening. We worked together through problems then I solved them myself. Can't wait to work with her again and ace Chemistry!

Fariba is so sweet and easy to communicate with, she has accomplished a lot with our son in such a small time, she has connected with him just what we needed her to do so, the lessons, explanations and help is going great. Our son looks forward to the days we meet Fariba because they talk the same language and in her quiet and calm way to follow up on things that they might have discussed makes him have full attention while they are together. I am very pleased of finding Fariba thru this website. Thank you! It's been two months or so that we are working with Fariba and we could not be any happier! Our son's grades for this next quarter is already a big improvement and the best part of it is that he is liking Science! Fariba has been a help from above and we are very happy to have her as our tutor. Our son looks forward to see her and worries to do his homework or bring his book from school as Fariba has instructed him so they could have the material to work on together, for us that is awesome because she has been able to connect with him in many ways specially to the fact that Science can be fun and not to fear just understand it. Thank you so much for matching us with this wonderful person! We are at the end of the school year and I could not be any happier that we found Fariba! She is all we needed !!! Our son's report card has improved and so has his liking of science. He looks forward to do homework with Fariba and he actually try hard to find thing to add so she could help him and for us as parents we could not not be any more pleased. Fariba has gone far beyond our expectations ! Thank you Fariba for everything!!! So a new year begin and we did not even loose time we called our friend Fariba. 2013-2014 will be a big adjustment for our son with new address and a brand new school. Fariba did not even say: "I have to check my schedule" she jumped right into it with him and it is been so good I don't have to worry or to question what the two of them discuss or accomplish that time that they are together. Fariba gets his weakness and he responds to her instructions without thinking twice. As parents we can not be any happier to have Fariba working with us so he can be successful and it already shows it in his report card with solid A's and B's. Thank you Fariba for everything and we mean it.

Praxis is a well known teaching test to earn a bachelors degree in many northeast states. Fariba was very consistent and particular on how the reading test was given, what test makers do to trick you, etc. I had taken the praxis several times before and came as close as one point from passing. However, with the help of Fariba I was finally able to pass the test. It was a very big moment for me and my family, and we even celebrated that night. I wouldn't have passed the test without Fariba's help, she is a great tutor and I give her my highest recommendation.

Fariba is a very dedicated and through tutor. She is very concerned that she's doing a good job and is very detailed about her impressions after each session. I think that she'll be very influential on our student and will help him improve and reach his goals.
Richard & Heidi H. from Cape Elizabeth, ME
As parents it is sometimes difficult to find a good tutor that is the right match for your child. Our daughter looks forward to her lessons and her test scores have consistently gone up and up. Fariba not only communicates well with our daughter, but also with us, after every lesson she sends us a summary. Fariba is organized, always early, and knows the material. Fariba is understanding and flexible -- so important to us because our daughter is a student athlete and her schedule is tight and ever changing. We feel very lucky to have found Fariba.

Fariba is an amazing tutor! We connected instantly. She has a great personality. She is sweet, kind, patient, and very bright! I was struggling with the math portion of the Praxis and after one week of meeting with her I was able to pass the test! She didn't just teach me what she wanted to or what she thought I should know. She took the time to listen to me and hear what I thought I needed help with and what areas I was concerned with. If I couldn't understand her one way of showing me how to do a problem, she quickly thought of another way. I enjoyed working with her!
