If it weren’t for these tutors, I would be failing. 9th Grader What a nice service. I didn’t have to take my child to the library at 8 PM on a school night. A parents dream. Parent of 6th Grader Thank goodness for this site. I’m the mom and I didn’t know the answer to the 5th grade math problem. It helped my daughter with her math, and I learned something new too! Parent of 5th Grader Wow—what an amazing tutor. I’m speechless…my self esteem has increased due to this experience. 12th Grader I like how they don’t give you the answer until you figure it out yourself. 6th Grader I entered the service to see how it worked before I told my kids about it I really like it… did a great job of walking me through my questions and tried to help me understand what I was doing wrong. Teacher I have gone from D’s in math to A’s. Thanks for all the help. 5th Grader Its better than a real classroom cause you are not afraid to ask them questions! 10th Grader
