Cam L. from Fairfax, VA Miss Jo is a great tutor for my son, who is in 4th grade and needs help in reading comprehension. With Miss Jo's tutoring him since July 2014, he has been improving a lot. The most important thing is that my son is impressed by the way she teaches him. He said, "She doesn't give me the answer. She tries to direct me to get the answer by myself, which really helps me to understand the text better and to feel more confident about myself. She is very nice, patient, well-prepared and knowledgeable." In my opinion, she is easy to work with, very flexible, responsible, timely and especially very well-prepared. She always has the planned materials to bring to the class to teach. I would highly recommend her.

Mehul T. from Mc Lean, VA Jo is very helpful, responsible, and punctual. She works nicely with my both kids (10th and 6th grade). She is prompt in replying an email for any solution to help my kids. She uses a very good online website as a source for reading and to learn more vocabulary. She is also really good at proofreading and essay writing. I would highly recommend her for any student who is struggling in English.

Soyun P. from Fairfax, VA My son is 5th grade and Jo has been teaching him for 4 months now. I was looking for a tutor for reading and writing, and she is exactly who I want for him. She provides worksheets on the right level for each book my son reads. She works with him on understanding the books, and she also checks the book summaries he writes. Jo also finds the books she thinks he would like, and my son loves the books she recommends. She is also helping him with handwriting and science, and I will ask her to help with social studies, too. Most of all, my son is really enjoying the time with her, and he is discovering the joy of reading from her. I can see my son's improvement during last 4 months, and I can't wait to see his next report card. She is the best tutor I have ever met.

Anu S. from Chantilly, VA My daughter started taking lessons from Jo a month back and has loved every lesson with her. Jo is very dedicated and takes the time to make learning the language fun and interesting. My daughter looks forward to her class every week and is enjoying the new language. Jo assigns very good homework for my daughter and takes into account her school work. Jo responds promptly when I send her an email and is very accommodating when I send her requests. I am very happy to have her as my daughter's teacher.

Doaa A. from Fairfax, VA Jo is a really great tutor. She is nice and very very patient. I took several classes with her on grammar and other English skills and I learned a lot of information. She is punctual and always arrives on time. I do recommend her to other students.

Madeleine W. from Manassas, VA Jo is very affable and patient. I think that I am very fortunate to have found her.

Vani S. from Aldie, VA We have been very happy with the tutor, Jo. She is a great tutor and we highly recommend Jo. Jo has been helping my daughter in Spanish level 2. The rate is very reasonable. My daughter really enjoys working with Jo and we are happy to see her getting comfortable with the subject with better scores.

Stephanie S. from Fairfax, VA Despite inclement weather, Jo met with my daughter to help prepare her for an important test. As always, she made the lesson interesting and fun. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing to improve their Spanish skills.

Manju N. from Fairfax Station, VA Although it has only been a few sessions since we started the tutoring, I have started noticing that my child is more confident and comfortable in doing her Spanish school work and tests. Ms. Jo is very knowledgeable in the Spanish language and is able to clarify doubts and work with my child to improve her vocabulary, grammar and test taking skills.

Stephen D. from Chantilly, VA When I first started tutoring with Jo, my Spanish was very weak and my Spanish grade was low. I was in Spanish 3 at the time, and the class was pretty challenging, but Jo's tutoring sessions helped make the class easier for me. If there was a topic that I thought was hard, she would teach me what I needed to know, which meant neat study tools and constant updates to Google docs so the information was always there. My grade by the end of the year improved greatly and I could not have been attained if not for the help I received from Jo. She is very easy to talk to and change times if you are busy. All around great tutor!

Jung A L. from Fairfax, VA She is a really great tutor. She always prepared our session well. She try to revise my faults and try to explain well. She is so kind. I am having a good session with her. I am really happy to work with her.

Susheela K. from Fairfax, VA Jo has been teaching my daughter Spanish for the past two months, and she has been a great tutor so far. My daughter loves her and enjoys her class. She provides materials for her and teaches in a playful and good way. She inspired me by her way of teaching. Thank you Jo. Keep up the work.

Jennifer R. from Reston, VA Jo is the ESL tutor for my nanny, who recently relocated to the US from overseas. With each lesson, I have seen our normally reticent nanny come out of her shell and grow more confident in speaking English. Jo has been reliable, prepared, and patient during each lesson. She is flexible with our schedule and tailors the lessons to fit my nanny's level and particular needs/interests. She is friendly and encouraging. We couldn't be happier with Jo!!! As an update to my last review, we've now had 10 lessons with Jo and couldn't be happier. She is such a creative, talented, caring individual. In her last session, she taught our nanny how to understand and navigate the bus system here, taking a standard ESL lesson and turning it into a real-life learning experience. She even rode the bus and ensured our nanny made it home safely. This 'field-trip' really reinvigorated our nanny's excitement about learning English and also taught her another way to be independent here in the U.S. We are extremely impressed and very grateful to have Jo as part of our lives.

Van D. from Fairfax, VA Jo is a very nice and patient tutor. She teaches my son who is 6 years old for reading. My son doesn't like to read much and Jo motivated him with an incentive system. She went over his summer reading material with him and explained words that he didn't understand. He's excited to see her every time. I just had Jo to tutor my daughter who is going to 5th grade for writing, and she likes her too.

Soyoung Y. from Clifton, VA As soon as Jo and I started tutoring, we became good friends. She is a really friendly person and an amzing tutor. She keeps making up with new studying sources. It will make your English improve so fast, and encourage you to move forward. Don't hesitate to pick her as your tutor. I am sure you will be happy about that. I am kind of sorry to share her with others.

Byung Hong P. from Mc Lean, VA I am so lucky to have found teacher Jo. She provided quick feedback and helped collect my sentences. In addition, she is passionate and meticulous during my class. I am sure that I can improve my English speaking and writing skill with her help. I would highly recommend Jo as a tutor.

Scott S. from Centreville, VA I started Spanish lessons with Jo about a month ago and am very pleased with the results. She has helped boost my confidence in Spanish and is very clear and concise. I recommend her for all levels of Spanish as she is very knowledgeable. She also makes Spanish fun with her enthusiasm, don't pass her up.

SIVA N. from Aldie, VA Ms. Jo is a very talented teacher, whose attention to detail is commendable as well as her preparation prior to the class. My son's grades have improved from a B- to an A in Spanish 3 within a 6 week period, thanks to her. I would not hesitate to recommend her. My son likes her style and approach to teaching.
