Jane C. from Atlanta, GA Dana painstakingly worked with my son for several weeks, and she was worth every penny. I was initially struck by her enthusiasm for what she was doing. That kind of enthusiasm transfers to students. Then she was very knowledgeable about what the SAT tested and picked up on my son's weaknesses very quickly and zeroed in on them. She was patient and motivating. I highly recommend her. My son just took the SAT exam and felt extremely positively about how he did.

Stephanie S. from Atlanta, GA 9-2-14 Dana is tutoring my daughter for the SSAT and she is very organized in her approach, and encouraging of my daughter. I have a feeling the analytic skills Dana is teaching my daughter to use in SSAT will spill over into my daughter's school work as well. Dana knows how to keep the session on target, and is able to cover quite a bit of material. My daughter really enjoys working with her. Also, when Dana cannot arrive exactly on time, she has been willing to stay a little extra so my daughter gets the benefit of the full hour. A small thing, perhaps, but much appreciated. 10-1-14 I continue to be impressed with the way Dana keeps my daughter focused throughout the hour, and how, even though she is coaching her for the SSAT, she is teaching her skills about how to think through problems that will help her in school as well. 11-9-14. We have completed our tutoring sessions with Dana because the SSAT is this weekend. I'm very impressed by how well she worked with my daughter and the study skills she taught her. She brings a combination of warmth, fun and focus to each tutoring session. We would definitely hire Dana again.

Carla P. from Lilburn, GA I highly recommend L. She has been instrumental in making my son enthusiastic again about language arts. She guided him through tackling a big paper.

Nanette V. from Atlanta, GA We love this young woman! She keeps my daughter motivated and interested in some fairly dry (SSAT prep) material. Somehow she makes it current and relevant. Great tutor. 1/14/14 Yet another fantastic tutoring session. My daughter comes away from an hour with Dana feeling so good about herself. Dana's "can do" attitude is contagious and empowers my daughter. She has turned my daughter's ADD into a benefit rather than a detriment. Such a positive and upbeat young woman. Very talented with young people.

Shawn A. from Stone Mountain, GA Dana helped me tremendously in one of my publications for Google Finance; in the capacity of an editor. Her knowledge on writing and effectively communicating my thesis to the audience was very impressive, even though the article's topic was out of her comfort zone. I will be using her again in the near future.

Kathy C. from Atlanta, GA We are so lucky to have her as a tutor. My child is motivated and looks forward to their lessons. My child feels that he is doing much better from the teachings, review and tips. With Dana's help, I am confident that my child will score much better on the ACT!
