Sarah M. from San Jose, CA Betsy has been tutoring my first grade son for almost 5 months. Since she started the two-week tutoring program, my son?s teacher and I have noticed major improvement in his English language skills. He literally improved from level 2 reading to mastering level 18 in about three months. Besides, she clearly demonstrates her passion toward teaching and improving the kids education and pays major attention to praising the kids development which boosts their confidence. I listed below some of Betsy skills/strengths: -Exhibits a great deal of patience while tutoring. -Covers many areas in her teachings (grammar, reading, writing, comprehension and even science) with the focus of critical areas. -Aligns her teachings according the feedback received from school/parents. -Motivates the kids to expand their knowledge in multiple fields. -Brings tools, books and other useful educational objects every class. -Demonstrates precise time schedule (very accurate session timings) and time management during the class. -Has a wonderful personality and establishes a strong relationship with the kids making them love her session. -Flexible with class schedule modifications due to unexpected events. All in all, I am proud of the my son development and very thankful to Betsy.
Nicholas S. from San Jose, CA Betsy is a 6 star tutor!! We used her to "fast-track" our daughter through the final weeks before her SAT tests. Betsy focused only on what was required to match our daughters needs and they worked hard together. The result is a teen who is now fully prepared for her SAT and confident that she will achieve a great score. THANK-YOU Betsy !!
Melinda L. from Pleasanton, CA Betsy is a very conscientious tutor! When I first talked to her, you can tell the difference comparing to the other tutors I had for my son in the past. Betsy spends time to understand her student's urgent needs and what the strengths and weaknesses of her student are and then use the suitable teaching method to help her student. Betsy also communicates with parents well and make sure she pursues the goals that student and parents expect in each tutor session. Betsy does a great job in preparing material/thoughts, class session and also the follow-up afterwards. My son is a college student and he got an "A" on his English essay class with Betsy's help during the whole semester! Betsy understands and manages well with a college student's busy schedule. My son gains his confidence back because of Betsy's professional knowledge and attitude. We are lucky to find Betsy. She is patient, energetic and really helps!
Mike W. from San Jose, CA Since starting work with Betsy our son has developed much more confidence in his writing! She is always positive and patient.
Rahel H. from San Jose, CA Betsy is a great tutor. She helped my son to develop confidence in writing. Before he started working with Betsy, he had a hard time doing any writing homework and he couldn't complete classroom writing assignments on time. After working for 4 days with Betsy he had 3 writing exams and he was able to finish them on time and his grades were good. She is easy to work with, understanding, and goal-oriented.
