“In her time with our daughter we not only saw academic improvement, but we also noted an enhanced
engagement and excitement over reading and learning. Miss Chris was the perfect “tutor” for our shy and
reserved little girl. She brought warmth and flexibility to their sessions and utilized a wide variety of methods and
materials to help our emerging reader. Thank you, Miss Chris.”

"Christine has worked with my daughter for more than a year to solidify basic math concepts and prepare her for
Pre-Algebra; in that time, she has grown more confident and more independent in her math skills. She is finishing
up Pre-Algebra this semester, and will move on to Algebra, much better equipped, thanks to Christine. Christine's
gentle and patient approach has been extremely helpful in reducing her math anxiety, and we highly recommend
her as a tutor."

knowledge on executive function in teens. It was obvious she was well educated on the subject, experienced in
assisting students and passionate about helping young people succeed."

“His writing has grown a lot since last year, as well as his focus. Generally, the kids need to work on supporting
their ideas with evidence and then explaining that evidence. His narrative writing was in the beginning stages last
year, but as we start on it again (in a few weeks), I expect to see more developed writing and a more coherent
story arc."
