Susan is and continues to amaze me and my son. He constantly reminds me, that if it wasn’t for her involvement- he wouldn’t be the student he is. She’s simply the best.

Susan taught our daughter advanced middle school math concepts. Susan was very enthusiastic and responsive to adjust the lessons to match the topics, level, and pacing for our child. You can tell she puts a lot of effort into her tutoring role. We would definitely recommend her as a teacher!
