"Mrs. Armstrong is a very kind and patient teacher who truly cares about helping every student succeed. English grammar was an especially confusing topic for me, but she was the first teacher who made it seem easy. The content she taught me was helpful on the SAT, and I was able to solve the reading and writing questions confidently. Essay writing was especially overwhelming for me, but she was patient enough to sit with me and explain concepts until I understood them. Mrs. Armstrong created such a positive and encouraging learning environment. I was never afraid to ask question because I knew she would be glad to help, and nearly everything I know about writing and grammar came from the years I was her student in high school."

"Annika worked with my daughter, who has learning and motor disabilities, through a semester of a demanding upper division college history course. Annika was knowledgeable about how to accomodate my daughter's particular learning needs, and consistently inspired her to do her best. My daughter loved working with Annika, and did great in her coursework! I highly recommend her as a tutor."
