We hired Ms. Kara to tutor our son in math, and she has boosted his confidence and grades by really breaking down sixth-grade math. As a result, his other scores also increased in his language arts, science, and history classes. It was a total confidence boost, and now he really enjoys math. We are still working with Ms. Kara, and next they are taking on 7th-grade math. Thank you, Ms. Kara!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Business costs can affect my estimate as well as special needs such as gas pricing for long drives. I’ve actually only once had to raise my prices by few dollars because it was a distant location and unique circumstances.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Do a telephone assessment first. Secondly, meet with the child or adult and plan lessons and curriculum tailored specifically to their needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Certified Educational Consultant. Continual courses or directed reading on how to best teach subjects.
