Mary you are so patient with R.J. and seem to know exactly how to work with him. Thank you so much. It may take him a while but I know he will do well with your help! Thanks!

I am Japanese, so Mary taught me English speaking as a second language with using some tests. She was a wonderful teacher for me because she made efforts to realize what I know or not. She used very valuable print for pronunciation and sentences. I like her personality too. She can bring out my positive feeling for learning English and lecture was interesting to me. I am sure that I can brush up my English skill with Mary. I hope many students could take her nice lecture! I am so glad to see Mary and also appreciate WyzAnt for connecting with her.

She was very patient with my daughter and was able to identify her weakness and where to focus more to help bring her up to speed with her reading.

Mary met us at the library. My six year old was anxious to be tutored and responded well to Mary. When I sought out a tutor my child was doing poorly in Kindergarten but she started doing well even before she met with Mary. Mary gave me an honest review. She said my child was doing well and didn't need tutoring. We did agree, however, that if we continued seeing Mary my little girl would learn at an even better pace. My six year old wants to meet with Mary again.

Mary made us feel comfortable right away. We met at the library where she and my son spent the hour getting to know each other and discussing his academic needs. My son told me that he feels like she can help him. We are looking forward to meeting with her again.

She prepares ahead of time for what I want to learn and prepares accurately. She watches over me to see if whether I understand the material or not and it is very helpful for me.
