I started with Terry after taking a short introductory Spanish course at a local community college. Terry helped me understand better the conjugation of verbs and how to use them. Now we are having more conversations. It has been a learning progress. Terry is very good at bringing in personal experiences to make the learning progress more interesting. He is patient and works with your ability to grasp the language. I highly recommend doing one on one sessions with Terry.

My daughter enjoyed taking Terry’s SAT prep course. She went to the test feeling confident. I feel like this course really prepared her & helped ease any test anxiety that she would’ve had if she hadn’t taken this course. Terry goes over & beyond to make sure his students are well prepared.

Terry has helped me gain confidence in take the SAT because of all the practice we did during our meeting plus the work he had me do outside of our meets. He made sure I properly understood everything that he would teach me. The tips and short cuts he taught me really helped me when talking the sat and how to manage me time while taking it. Without him tutoring me I would have been completely lost on what to study for the test but he gave me guidance and what to study for.

Terry Harlin came to the rescue as a tutor for both our High School daughter and son. Our children had a rough school year with some learning gaps from quarantine. It was the first time we’ve needed to use a tutor and our only regret was not reaching out earlier. Terry helped in Spanish and Geometry, but has a vast knowledge of many subjects. He was a calming sense during a stressful time, and helped each of our children improve quickly. Terry’s patience and follow through were so appreciated and we highly recommend him.

Usually we start with a free phone consultation to establish goals and expectations. Depending on the consultation and the number and anticipated nature of our first session, I might spend a little time getting to know the student or dive right in to the subject matter.
