Julie was prompt on arrival and professional. I spoke with her for a few minutes and then left her with my daughter. My daughter liked her. Julie left her with homework and SAT books to study. This is the first meeting, so we will know more after a couple of times!

Ms. Julie has been of great help this past months. I would not have been able to get accepted to Yale without her help. She helped me with my essays from the beginning to the very end, always there through every step of the way. She also helped me with with anything I needed for my AP English class. She always finds the time to help me, even with my crazy schedule. She is truly the best!!

Julie is an outstanding tutor who has not just helped my niece raise her reading and writing SAT score but also helped her with the college essay process. My niece got accepted to her dream college today and we couldn't have done it without Julie's help. THANK YOU Julie for all your work.


Rachel W. from Aubrey, TX

Julie is patient, easy to contact, and an overall great tutor. My writing skills have never been my strong point. Julie helped me to better organize my arguments and/or statements within certain writing assignments and how to communicate those clearly to the reader. I had intended to take the GRE exam until circumstances changed that path, which was my reason for needing tutoring. Even though I did not take the exam, I know my scores would have improved drastically as my weekly writing scores in graduate art history courses have improved as well. The strategies she provided to preparing for the exam were useful not only for the GRE, but for my own general vocabulary and writing practices. I highly recommend Julie as a tutor.

Ms. Julie taught my son French during summer to help him head start with french on his 7th grade. She was always on time/very reachable/friendly/great tutor. She helped my son with his french lessons and once the school started, he is saying that helped him a lot and he is way ahead of the other kids in the class. I would always go back to her for my son's French lesson.


Sujal M. from Richardson, TX

Some qualities that makes her a good teacher: She engages the children very well, Plans her lessons, Sets the pace based on the child's ability to learn, teaches through games, makes learning fun, and most importantly, the kids like her. We highly recommend her.


Mary R. from Allen, TX

Julie is the perfect tutor for my highly intelligent, but stubborn son. In two weeks, she was able to break though the frustration and start the learning process immediately. He successfully completed a course the teacher predicted he would fail thanks to Julie's assistance and expertise.


Diego V. from Mckinney, TX

Ms. Julie is a very nice tutor. She has a lot of patience and knowledge on ESL students. She is very patient and was able to quickly see where I struggled. She is also very flexible with the time. I text on Saturday at night to meet on Monday and she immediately replied, That is ok. I recommend her 100% to any person who needs an English tutor. I will continue to use Ms. Julie's services to improve my English in all areas.


Kara R. from Frisco, TX

Julie is a wonderful tutor with an extremely flexible schedule. She helped me formulate ideas, structure my answers and edit them for my philosophy essays. She even provided feedback and kept in touch after our tutoring session. I would highly recommend her.


Ashley C. from Allen, TX

Julie really helped me understand my course! She takes the time and breaks it down for me. I can understand short stories, poems, and drama! I would for sure recommend her again and again...I will use her talent again for an up coming course!

My daughter feels a sense of security knowing she is well on her way to catching up to her class. Julie has a perfect balance of moving you forward and meeting you where you are at in the Spanish language.

Rebekah S. from Lake Oswego, OR

Julie was able to organize and encourage my daughter so she could begin writing without any anxiety or resistance. My daughter jumped right into her assignment and completed it very quickly.


Sharon B. from Plano, TX

Julie is a very nice person, but she wasn't the right fit for my child. My child has difficulty with writing, punctuation and run on sentences. Julie started working with my child 7 mos ago. Unfortunately, my daughter never learned punctuation in those 7 mos. She would work on these papers for Julie and they would continue to lack flow and punctuation. It didn't make any sense to me because Julie kept saying that she was working with my child on punctuation and run on sentences. The last straw for me was when my child came home from school with a 70 on her comma homework. I printed off some sentences with no punctuation and had my child complete them. After 30 minutes, my daughter understood and was able to apply that knowledge to a paper she had to write for Language Arts. That was all it took. I asked her why she wasn't able to learn this with Julie. My child stated that she would turn in her papers to Julie and Julie would just tell her where to place the punctuation instead of making my child do it. She wasn't able to tailor the lessons to my child's needs. If she saw that what she was teaching wasn't sinking in, then she should have figured out another way to do it. (i.e. Given her practice sheets and gone over them each lesson). Julie kept telling me to give it time and that it takes lots of practice. It doesn't take a 12 year old 7 mos to learn how to use punctuation. I'm terribly upset and disappointed. She is a very nice person, but she wasn't able to assist my child. Also, the class days frequently changed. And, on more than one occasion, she completely forgot about a lesson.


Jean H. from Portland, OR

Julie was extremely patient and very helpful getting our daughter prepared for her SAT and college essay. Our daughter has a very busy schedule and Julie was able to work online to make it for our daughter.

Julie met with our son and was able to help him understand his grammar lessons better and was a huge help with his preparation for his upcoming ACT and SAT tests. Thank you Julie!
