“My child has been tutoring with Ms. Irina for the past year and a half. We would be absolutely lost with out her help. Sophia was struggling with every part of school to being behind an entire grade level in math and reading and having a hard time focusing in general and even staying on task.  Sophia did not enjoy school. We have been told for years she is right where she needs to be but scores showed she was behind and my child was just not happy.  She was struggling and it is hard to see your child struggle.

With in the first couple weeks working with Ms. Irina she picked up on what exactly Sophia was struggling with and started at the beginning working on basic fundamentals to get Sophia where she needed to be. Every day they met they got further and further and you could see Sophia get so excited to see her scores go up all the time.

Sophia has always had issues with being confident in herself and is a very anxious child. We work on this on a daily basis. We have tried working with her teachers to understand and help as well but since working with Mrs. Irina her confidence has shown improvement and continues to grow and get better every day. Ms. Irina is so encouraging and shows Sophia to never give up. It is ok to fail as long as you try and learn from it.

Ms. Irina truly took the time to get to know my child’s strengths and weaknesses and makes a plan that directly works with how she learns and picks up on things. Children do not learn the same way and she truly understands this and genuinely cares about Sophia being successful and giving her the tools she needs to succeed.

Since tutoring with Ms. Irina Sophia is back to grade level and staying where she needs to be.  She actually enjoys school and has shown so much improvement and continues to show improvement.“
