Testimonials
Cynthia R. from Elmira, NY Sara was a great fit for my daughter for SAT & NYS Regent prep. She helped her organize her time and plan out a manageable review schedule. I would highly recommend her!
Brigit P. from Endicott, NY Sarah was a fantastic tutor to my son this summer. She was able to teach him concepts that he's struggled with for a long time, 3 different teachers and another tutoring company. She is adept at re-phrasing terminology and concepts to ensure actual understanding of each lesson, and reviewed until mastery of each step. She was prompt and reliable, easy to reach, encouraging and patient with my son. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of tutoring. We will also use her again, should the need arise.
Lynn P. from Owego, NY I find Sara to be very patient with my son. Even though my son is a very well behaved child he at times struggles with maintaining interest in what is being taught. Sara finds ways to keep him engaged. She works with him 2 1/2 hours a week on 5th Grade ELA, Science and Math. Sara always has great feed back on what she is working on with my son and is always encouraging with her feedback. I see improvements in my son's vocabulary as well as his expressive language. My son wears bi-lateral hearing aids and has multiple learning disabilities and one-on-one reinforcement is critical to his success. My son has been working with Sara for 5 weeks now and we look forward to her working with him long term. My son has had a few tutors and many teachers who have a hard time knowing how to "teach" him and Sara seemed to know how to work with him right from the start. We would highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a tutor in the Owego area.
Tracy W. from Owego, NY Sara is a wonderful tutor--very thorough and patient. Not only is her assistance with the specific subject helpful, but equally so are the basic study skills that will transfer to other challenging subjects. I'm glad we found such a wonderful resource. My only regret was not engaging Sara earlier in the year!! Thank you, Sara!!
Debbie S. from Vestal, NY Sara was my son's tutor for more than a year, helping him with third and fourth grade math, history, reading, writing, geography and science. My son is easily distracted and likes to go on tangents while doing homework and give quick (and incorrect answers). Sara was able to redirect him, using patience and a keen common sense, allowing him to focus on the task and come to a correct answer on his own. Sara would also bring extra reading materials on genres that would interest my son, helping him gain an appreciation for fiction that I was trying to establish. I highly recommend Sara as a tutor.
David S. from Vestal, NY Sara R. is a very organized and competent tutor, who clearly has the ability to assess and focus her instruction based on the student's needs. Her review summaries of each session are thorough and helpful. She was our first experience with tutoring, and we have been left with an impression of satisfaction and value. We will look no further than Sara should we need tutoring in her areas in the future.
Renee N. from Endicott, NY We are so lucky to have found Sara! Our 8 year old son loves working with her and looks forward to his weekly math tutoring sessions. She makes the learning fun for him and he has shown so much improvement. Before tutoring, his math exams were in the 50s and 60s. After tutoring he is receiving grades in the high 80s! He even received an achievement award for his efforts. Engaging an 8 year old boy in his least favorite subject is not easy and we really appreciate Sara's patience and gentle manner. She also uses fun games to keep him interested. She is super reliable and always provides a very fast follow up on the session, too.
Thomas N. from Binghamton, NY We will continue to have Sara R. work with our daughter. She is always positive and patient. Our daughter was happy to go and was on time, which for 16 year old is a hard thing, unless they like what they are doing, which is the case with the tutor Sara R.
Sandra B. from Vestal, NY Sara has tutored my daughter in 6th grade math and science for six months. She patiently allows my daughter to work through problems and gently reminds her of details that need attention. The format of the tutoring session varies from week to week which keeps the interest of my daughter. Often, Sara will incorporate current events as they apply to the topic that is being reviewed. My daughter looks forward to each session and is proud of the improvement of her grades.
