Blenheim Tutoring
I am interested in helping students succeed. I think learning should be a pleasant experience, not a chore. Being able to enhance a student's reading and writing skills is very rewarding. I tutor students of all ages, from Pre-K to adult. I am ESL certified and have tutored numerous ESL students from countries all over the world. I have a Bachelor's Degree in English with two years' work towards a Master's. I also have a 2-year language certificate in Italian, and would welcome the opportun...

Donna truly cares about helping my son. My son takes a while to warm up to new people and she has done well to make friends while getting him to tackle his studies. I appreciate her thoughtfulness and patience when it comes to getting to know my son and allowing him time to open up. And Donna is great at observing areas that need extra help and offers creative techniques to keep them focused.
Spencer S. from Skiatook, OK
We are very, very pleased with Donna O. My son leaves each session very enthusiastic and full of helpful and interesting information and test taking tips. She is very easy to talk to, engaging, and an excellent source of inspiration for further study. I would give her the highest rating.

Donna tutored our niece in French for several months. She was very patient, always encouraging, and tried several different techniques to connect with our niece's learning style. She shows great concern for her students and is willing to go the extra mile. She also helped our niece with her English homework on several occasions. I would not hesitate to recommend Donna.

Donna has had six lessons with my son. She is very engaging and genuine in her approach with him. After she left one day, he told me that he really liked his tutor. I asked him why and he told me, "Because she lets me talk and she really listens to what I say. She doesn't stop me and tell me I'm off topic." Donna is encouraging my son and getting him to work for her by earning his trust and respect. That goes a long way with him. He has always worked the hardest for teachers who take the time to get to know him and who are positive in their approach with him. Donna is one of those teachers. I believe she is doing a great job with him academically as well. 2-24-14 Donna has been tutoring my son for almost two years now. I really can't say enough nice things about her and what a blessing she is to my son. Donna has the patient of a saint and is always kind, thoughtful, and determined to help James reach his potential in learning. My son is not an easy child to work with, but Donna never gives up on him. My son loves her and is extremely comfortable working with her. He is very grateful for her efforts and all that she does to help him learn. We have all become very fond of Donna and think of her not only as our tutor, but as our friend.

I presented Donna with a challenge--my three children (9,9 and 8)! I wanted her to work with all three of them together and not only did she do it---she did it well! The girls LOVED her and I did too! She is super talented and it was super easy to work with her. She always responded to my my emails promptly. She was always prepared for her sessions with the girls and seemed genuinely interested in their success. We all benefited from her help and look forward to working with her again when the need should arise.

Jira S. from Jenks, OK
She knows how to make English as a second language interesting. I can highly recommend her as an ESL tutor.
Meg W. from Broken Arrow, OK
Meredith liked that she received reading as well as grammar tutoring. I like that she has homework to do to prepare for her next session.

She explains all the grammar, word meanings, sentence structure etc. always in a way I can follow and understand her...
Tiffany M. from Broken Arrow, OK
Donna has helped our son with his reading skills. He is a very active and restless young man. He has a very hard time paying attention and focusing on school work. Donna is very patient and works well with our boy. We can tell a difference in his reading abilities and progressed since she has been working with him.
Micah S. from Tulsa, OK
Donna worked with my son on his level and was very patient with him. He even learned a saying to help him remember vowel sounds in a word.
Tammy R. from Bixby, OK
Donna is a very knowlegable person. She is very patient and kind. She has given my daughter the confidence to excel on the ACT. After one lesson she felt like Donna had taught her so much in a short amount of time. We have continued to use Donna, she tries to make herself available, while working around my daughters busy schedule.
