swathi vinjamuri says, "We recently enrolled my kids in Math and English sessions tailored for elementary-level students, and overall, the experience has been quite positive.Math Sessions:The math instruction was clear and focused on foundational concepts like addition, subtraction, and place value.English Sessions:The English lessons emphasized reading comprehension, vocabulary, and basic grammar. The sessions balance phonics work with reading practice and writing simple sentences.There was a good variety of materials, both for classwork and homework. The instructors are very supportive and encouraging."See more

Nicole P. says, "Yaeli Rockwell is absolutely amazing. I had been seeking a writing tutor for my young adult son who has Autism. Yaeli has been a Godsend. She is so kind and patient with my son. She takes the time to explain things to him in a way that he can understand. She is always prepared. Yaeli previews my son’s short stories before meeting with him. This allows her to maximize her instructional time with him. My son truly loves his sessions with Yaeli. He looks forward to having them every week. My son’s creative writing gets better with every session. Yaeli has helped my son to better organize his writing and to make it engaging to readers. As a mom, I love that she challenges and encourages my son to continually improve. She does not look at my son’s autism as limiting; instead, she met my son at his writing level, with a goal to improve his writing skills, build his confidence, and maintain his love for creative writing. Yaeli does all this at a service rate that is beyond reasonably priced. Her expert knowledge, skilled instructional strategies, and patience with my son is worth far more than what her current rate is. If you are looking for a professional to help improve your writing skills, I highly recommend Yaeli Rockwell."See more
