Testimonials
”Our tutor has been amazing. She always comes prepared and her energy level is engaging! We have seen an improvement in our son’s foundation test since she has began. Also, she coordinated a zoom meeting with his reading teacher. It is going great.”
- Sara H.
"We are very pleased with the work our tutor has done with our daughter. Our tutor is flexible and nice, and has the perfect personality for working with our daughter. She has already made some improvements in her test scores but I think the more important thing for us in the short term is going to be just increasing her confidence level and her affinity for math. We have been recommending your services to everyone."
- Meg P.
"Our daughter has learned more from her tutor in 3 weeks than she has learned from her math teacher all year. I highly recommend Elementary Edge."
- Ali H.
"Everything is working out great between our son and his tutor. His tutor has been really flexible and extremely effective at breaking down the information so that he is gaining a better understanding of the material with Algebra II. I'm so glad that Grace told us about your services. We have used other services before that were not effective methods."
- Dina B.
