“Since signing-up and making the investment in our kid’s math skills, we’ve witnessed her gain massive momentum in understanding the fundamentals that she could build upon throughout the semester. As a result, our daughter went from struggling to keep up to making tremendous progress and drastically raising her test scores in just a couple of sessions. Thanks to her tutor, Bre (an PhD candidate :-), her understanding of the class topics instantly improved, she felt more confident in navigating the course, and now she never hesitates to ask a question if she needs a little more help expanding on the topic she didn’t quite understand. Furthermore, Bre is fantastic and they really made a connection that inspired our kid not only in math, but in the pursuit of higher education. Thank you Bre & Alexa for making this possible.”
