I'm Chinese. My 12 year old twin-son and I moved here in Aug 2015. My sons just started their English learning before we came here. My friend helped me finding a English tutor, her name is Barbara. She is very nice,experienced, patient and professional beyond my expectations. She even went to my sons' school talked with their teacher to understand their situation and Taylor made their lessons. What a nice and responsible teache she is! This will never happen in my country. She is so great and I want to show my appreciation to her here! How lucky we are to find such excellent teacher. My sons's English are improved obviously and the score in last semester proofed her effort! We will continuely work with her in the coming year for sure.

Barbara is fantastic. My daughter took an instant liking to her. She is patient, well prepared and definitely knows her business. She did not rush and even worked a little with our 4 year old. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone.

Barbara Carruth is phenomenal! She is an outstanding tutor who brought my son's math grade up significantly in no time at all. I highly recommend her!

Barbara has helping to teach my boys for three years now. I plan to utilize her services again this coming school year to help ensure that they do well at school.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate is somewhat flexible, depending on the amount of hours per week.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I sit down with the new student and his/her parent, find out what areas the student is having difficulties in. If possible, I like to see some recent work of the child.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a credentialed substitute teacher, in elementary schools, for almost 20 years. I started out tutoring, 17 years ago, grades K through 5. Lately, I have been working with students up to 8th grade.
