Academic Tutoring

““Alice started with my daughter in junior year of high school. She had always struggled in math, and I had helped her when I could, and even hired other tutors, but she was barely hanging on to a B-. Alice was able to resolve all her questions and she started getting A’s! I asked my daughter what the difference was since we had hired other tutors who didn’t work out, and she said Alice is just so patient. If a problem or concept didn’t make sense the first way Alice explained it, she would find a second and third way until my daughter got it. I guess other tutors had just tried to reexplain the concept the same way and that made my daughter just feel stupid. Anyways, [daughter] got an A in junior year for the first time in math ever, and in senior year she didn’t even need Alice and got another A! I only wish we’d found her earlier.”

“Felix seems to be able to do pretty much anything…We’ll hit him with anything from geometry to 8th grade Spanish to SAT prep and he is game. Both my kids really enjoy working with him. There is never a suggestion of ‘do we haaave to do tutoring?’ They come out of sessions feeling accomplished and less anxious about whatever they brought to him. My partner and I spend a lot of time with our kids. Felix is our partner in that work and it helps the boys so much to have an outside voice echoing things. We give Felix a lot of insight about our kids and Felix takes those insights to heart and incorporates them in his work. It’s all the things I wish my son would hear from me, but when Felix says them my son actually absorbs the message. And Felix does have excellent delivery and energy.”
