Mathematics and Language Arts Tutor
My mother was my first teacher. She made learning fun – from spelling, vocabulary, and reading to math and science. She was loving and fair. She never let me slide and say, “I don’t know.” If nothing else, I had to make an educated guess. She instilled a love for learning in me that has never gone away.

Testimonials
Anna S. from Elk Grove, CA La Verne is very friendly, interesting, patient, and knowledgeable. I liked working with her and she is flexible with my schedule.
Marcy H. from Galt, CA La Verne is very nice and upbeat. She makes a welcoming supportive space for a subject I hate - math. I feel very comfortable with her, and she makes me feel like there are no stupid questions. She is very patient and doesn't let me get away with stupid little mistakes that get me into trouble with prealgebra. I just started my gen ed classes for my major, and I have a feeling I will use her again if she's willing! Flexible with time and place for meetings. WELL worth the higher fee. 6/1/14 At the end of the semester after conferring with my algebra professor, I went to my tutor session very excited and told La Verne that I could fail the final and still pass the class! I thought this was very good news considering. She looked at me funny and said, we can shoot a little higher than that. I said ok, but I was thinking yeah right. La Verne met with me several more times before my final tests and with her help I not only passed the two finals with a B and an A, but I passed the whole class with a B! Never could have done it without her help and patience! Thanks La Verne!
