Current Student Testimonial
Transcribed with permission from online tutoring session, student’s comments:
“Two last things, but they don’t have to do with problems. Just wanted to talk about things in general.
One: I’m really glad that you started tutoring me. lt’s made me start to like math like a lot more. I used to like it a lot more, but when I started struggling a lot it didn’t become as much fun for me. It just became a lot of stress. You make it really interesting and I enjoy it.
But even though you don’t have anything to do with my English work or my science work all these other classes where I feel like you’ve increased my mindset and my work effort.
My mom asked you if I should be in honors next year. She said you didn’t hesitate, said yes right away. I’ve always kinda felt like the only person who really believed in me for school was my mom. It feels good when other people believe in me.
When we did our first session I was expecting to be super bored, honestly. Like honestly expected to be bored for like an hour and a half. I enjoyed it a lot. I remember you saying you know I think we have like 10 or 15 minutes left and I was like “What?” I thought it had been 5 minutes.”
Mission accomplished!!

Summer Online Math Courses
School’s out for summer! Cue the song…
Weeell, not for everyone. Summer online courses are a great way to catch up, get ahead, or just normal for many.
They can also be frustrating when you don’t have clear explanations or content that actually prepares you for the next course.
The reason for difficulty learning from an online math course can be as unique as the student.
