Students Share About Tutoring
"It's good! It is helping me build new skills and improve ones I already had."
"Tutoring is very good! My tutor is excellent!"
"My English is better now!"
"My tutor is wonderful and faithful in being there each time. I think highly of my tutor who has a great attitude and patience. I appreciate my tutor."
"It gives us pleasure to see people like our tutor interacting with another language. It is pleasant. I makes it easier for us to communicate with the people around us. I like that our tutor is patient, fun, very nice, and above all, that she has the delicacy and kindness to be able to share the knowledge with people like us who do not know the English language. So my son and I are very grateful for being taught and sharing those teaching moments with us. Thank you."
