Ms. Vanessa has been very patient in her plan with Tyler. She is showing him new and innovative ways to discover his hidden potential. Her teaching method has also allowed me the parent to reinforce the new techniques rather than "the old fashioned way" of just memorizing. This is new to Tyler but I feel that her methods are breaking down barriers that were put up by him because he just was not getting it. Thanks, Ms. V.

Vanessa has such a strong passion for tutoring. As a prior teacher, her concern during each visit is to ensure each child understand what was covered, as well, as going over tutoring subjects to parent that was covered during each session. She went out her way to assist one grandchild with a science project. And the other grandchild, spending additional time with a learning disability. She has spoken with the child's school with parent, as to how she can assist the child with school assignments while tutoring. We have her to tutor two of my grandchildren, and they love her. Vanessa works around your schedule, if needed. I would recommend her, if asked. She is great.
