Testimonials:

Being a foster parent, I have hired several tutors for my kids, but last Thursday, I took my 8-year-old son, Gabriel, to the best tutor I have
ever hired. I now understand the value in hiring a professional, and I can actually see the long-term, life changing instruction....

Ms. Barbara is a very nice and helpful teacher. She taught me English so well that I did better on an English test than the ratings for the standardized test had expected. She works hard and helps me even when she is tired. I really appreciate how she helps me write interesting stories for language arts and social studies. She has helped me learn in all my subjects, making learning fun. When I have to study for a test, she comes up with funny hints that are great for memorization. You will definitely need Ms. Barbara at least once in your life

-Yuko, 8th grader Denver area

Barbara has helped me so much with math. I fell through the cracks in the public school system and went to her as an adult in my
mid-twenties. I did not know how to do fourth grade fractions. She really cares and is really good. Now I'm a manager at a franchise and want to buy my own someday. Without her help, I couldn't have done this.

Thanks, Barbara!
