Testimonials from Students & Parents

  • Maggie and Jacklyn were absolutely amazing with my two boys for multiple summers of tutoring. What really stood out was how personalized everything was. They used assessment data to tailor the sessions to my boys’ needs and even talked to their teachers before starting. At the end of the summer, they sent a detailed report and shared it with next year’s teachers, which was such a nice touch. Both of my boys have improved so much, not just in their skills but also in their confidence. I can’t thank Maggie, Jacklyn, and this team enough—they’re the best!New List Item

  • For the past three years, Maggie has run an incredible weekly U.S. history class on Zoom for my child and a few of my friends’ children. We’re all so thrilled we found Maggie! My son was always bored at school and Maggie's enrichment courses are rigorous and interesting. Her lessons are always creative, engaging, and make history exciting and relatable.The impact on our kids has been amazing. Teachers have praised my son's critical thinking skills during conferences, and I truly credit this to Maggie's classes.

  • Ms. Finn was a game-changer for my daughter. When she was struggling in her 10th grade English class, Ms. Finn provided the support and guidance she needed to regain her confidence and improve her skills. This was all during COVID, so they met entirely online. I was so grateful to see the relationship she was able to build with my daughter through their weekly meetings. Her genuine nature, kind words, and positive encouragement shone through even via Zoom! Thanks to Ms. Finn's dedication, my daughter not only excelled in her high school classes but also went on to take AP English and is currently thriving at the honors program at her university. We are incredibly grateful for Ms. Finn's impact on her academic journey!

  • I highly recommend Jacklyn as a tutor for both middle and high school students. She has been working with my 7th-grade and 10th-grade students on their literacy skills, and her individualized approach has made a huge difference. Jacklyn is incredibly responsive to each child’s unique needs, whether it’s tackling a tricky assignment, preparing for a midterm, or refining writing skills. She tailors every lesson to fit the specific challenges each student faces, making them feel confident and supported. My 7th grader has made significant progress in reading comprehension, and my 10th grader has become more confident in writing and analyzing complex texts. Jacklyn’s thoughtful, adaptable teaching style ensures that each lesson is both engaging and effective

  • I have never considered myself a good writer until I took Ms. Finn's (Maggie) classes. Putting words on a page had always been immensely stressful. But with the help of Ms. Finn, my confidence began to grow in my writing capabilities. Throughout my time working with her she has shown me how to improve my writing in ways that resonated with me and helped me find my voice. She made writing feel less stressful and more meaningful. I am a better writer and no longer see writing as a daunting task; with Ms. Finn's help and support I now feel empowered in my writing because I can express myself and my ideas effectively.

  • Maggie was a life saver for the incredible support she gave both of my children during COVID and hybrid schooling. I was so stressed about how they were doing and Maggie came in with professionalism and kindness to build a relationship with each of my kids. They were both struggling with disruption to their schooling, and Maggie was the clam through the storm. She supported both my daughter, 9, and son, 7, with literacy and math development. She also guided me through a special education evaluation for my son, providing her input and observations to help guide his evaluation. We had to wait a while for services to begin, and through it all, Maggie helped him improve his reading skills with creative, engaging methods and, more importantly, boosted his confidence. Maggie kept us updated, worked closely with his school, and genuinely cared about his success. My son made great progress and now believes in himself more than ever.
