Amazing tutor

I am an Engineering student and have worked with Phyllis for two years. Her lessons have helped me tremendously in my social sciences class and career path. She is skilled in various areas, such as writing, editing, public speaking, resume writing and reviewing, acing interviews, etc. She has not only helped me to succeed, but she also helped me build the confidence that I can succeed. She is simply amazing!

Outstanding!

We reached out to Phyllis for our daughter because she was struggling with one of her college courses. She replied quickly, scheduled the session, and helped my daughter with her subject. She's awesome to work with and is a wealth of knowledge. We highly recommend her. We're looking forward to our next session.

Phyllis made me feel accomplished in my Capstone Project. Phyllis’s tone of voice and patience enlightened me and helped me finish my paper and submit it with no fear.

She was open-minded from the beginning, which helped me ask her question and not be afraid of her reaction. Her self-assertiveness and positive feedback encouraged me to accomplish the last steps of my Capstone Project.

Excellent public speaking tutor

Phyllis helped me with a speech that I just gave that was so authentically me. She had a lot of helpful ideas, suggestions and feedback. Also, she helped me realize what I was doing well which improved my confidence. I highly recommend her if you need help with a speech or just want to improve your public speaking skills.
