Barb put in a very long day to meet w/ my daughter the night before a test. She could've easily declined due to a hectic schedule but made time later in the evening. This meant a lot. Barb is very effective and very no-nonsense. We have had some tutor "drama" in the past and appreciate her professionalism. We are getting good results as well.

Barbara is a wonderful tutor. She helps you with understanding concepts, and by not doing the homework for you. She is very patient, and is very easy to reach. I would recommend her for physics especially. She is great to work with!

My 17 year old son has struggled with Algebra and math in general for some time. At first, he wasn't thrilled when I told him I'd hired a tutor, but now he enjoys his time with Barbara. He really appreciates that she takes the time to explain the problems and will do it several different ways if he doesn't understand. She's a no nonsense person who gets down to business and my son's words were, "I really like her a lot, she doesn't talk down to me or get frustrated with me if I don't get it." His face actually lights up when I ask him about math because he's finally starting to make some headway! Thanks Barbara!!

I am a college student who desperately needed help in calculus based physics I & II. After contacting her, we were able to meet less than five miles away from my house to begin our tutoring session, this was very convenient! Barb was able to clearly and concisely present the material in a way that made complete sense. She would even bring in props to help me better understand the certain properties of physics. If you need help with physics...this is the tutor you want and need!

Barb has been very good with me during my lessons. She is patient and knows how to help me. She compliments me on what I know and works hard to help me understand. She treats me with respect and encourages me to do my very best. Tutoring with Barb is an awesome experience for me!

I had a tough project that two other "excel experts" were not able to accomplish but Barb figured it out. She was professional, focused and determined. Thank you Barb!
Brianne H. from Saint Paul, MN
My daughter found Barbara very smart and helpful! Barbara helped her figure out that she really understood more in Algebra II than she thought she did. She got a very GOOD grade on the math test she took following her tutor session!! We will definitely use her again!
