People Are Talking!
Whether it's government officials, educators, parents or students, everyone has something good to say about Mary T. Tutoring! Here's just a small sampling of what people all around Maryland have been saying.

"She has 'teacher wisdom', the ability to zero in on when to praise, when to lend a helping hand, when to share a laugh, and when to push a bit harder."
D. M., parent

" . . . my math and science grades improved drastically. By the end of the year, they went up 2 letter grades!"
S. T., student

"After my very first session with Mary T., and for the very first time, I left our tutoring session feeling that I actually comprehended the material. Mary T. is a teacher who is extremely patient, non-judgmental and demonstrates the ability to use many examples when explaining algebra concepts. Contacting Mary T. was the best decision I made to help me reduce my anxiety and fulfill my math requirement."
W. K., student

"Mary T. is very quiet, yet firm with her students. They love to go to her classes. She has a special way of making things interesting and fun, yet still meeting the needs of her students."
C. Y., 3rd & 4th grade teacher

"I have appreciated your kind, caring commitment to children who need that extra mile every day. Your ability to motivate them to do their best is exactly what they needed."
J. I., guidance counselor

Mary T. did not just help with homework.  She met with the teacher, reviewed Jim’s current work and developed a plan to help my son. She found the gap in Jim’s earlier math experience that lead to his difficulties and built from that point. . . Before tutoring, Jim was at a “D” level and while motivated in math was now lacking confidence in himself.  A few weeks into the sessions, my son came home from one smiling and was so happy and proud of his work, he gave me a math lesson!  Soon his weekly tests in class were improving from “D” to “B” quality work.  His first “A” test was cause for celebration.” 
K. R., parent

"Mary T. did an outstanding job of diagnosing the source of [my daughter's] issues and designing a program to improve [her] results . . . [her] grades improved markedly. Mary T’s strengths include; Her professional yet compassionate teaching style, her ability to diagnose the root cause of learning challenges, her flexibility in dealing with the inconsistent motivation levels of her students, her ability to provide positive reinforcement to her students and her technical Math and Science abilities . . . we would highly recommend her to any parent seeking tutoring help for their child."
B. S., parent

"[Mary T.] not only tutors [my son] in English, but helps him develop and use good study habits that he can apply to any class. Mary T. is not only a great tutor . . . but she has been very professional in her business relationship with   us as parents and accommodating and flexible in dealing with a summer schedule."
M. D., parent

"Thank you, I could not have done it without you."
B. M.,
student

"I just wanted to thank you for being such a good friend as well as a teacher. You helped me in my schoolwork when I thought no one could."
S. M., student

"Mary T. is GREAT with Kelly!  She has a VERY good way about her - she  explains, then requires Kelly to digest it and repeat the concept/application.  We're very pleased with the working relationship."
G. M., parent

“Almost immediately, my son’s test grades went from C’s to A’s. The focus on organization was very helpful . . . But the effects went well beyond the math teacher’s grade book. At parent-teacher conferences I was told my son had become a leader in the classroom, frequently doing problems at the board and helping other students. Moreover, I noticed my son’s confidence building in  other classes, in conversations at home, and even on the playing field. It feels good to be good at math, and that translates to a happier kid.  I whole heartedly recommend Mary T. Tutoring. It was an excellent investment in our child’s future.”
S. G., parent

“We had tried several tutoring and reading programs and been through several special teachers at school before finding Mary T. Tutoring.  [Our son] was struggling in every area of scholastics. We had him diagnosed several different ways for problems with eyesight or trauma etc. . . from being extraordinarily gifted, to ADD to low mental capacity.  [Mary T.] was the first and only tutor who ever made a distinct, measurable difference in my son’s performance. For the first time my son looked forward to doing his studies because it was fun.  My son’s math grades soared.  They improved in a few weeks from D- and F to A’s.  She had the ability to mix fun with work and keep my son’s attention, as well as instilling a desire for success.  I can’t say enough about Mary T’s expertise and whole-heartedly recommend her tutoring services as being the very highest quality.”
K. G., parent

“ . . . I grasp concepts fairly easily I just don't become comfortable with them by test time. You helped me with that as well. The technique in which you did that impressed me- having me teach it to you rather than you sit and lecture me. I knew the material; I was just not testing well.”
V. D., student

"Improved is an understatement! The change is miraculous. Thank you!"
C. M., parent

"Mary T. has a keen sense of student needs. She's gentle natured with a twist of fun."
L. F., parent

"Mary T. is organized and fun. She gets results with a smile."
P. M., parent

"Christopher really enjoys his tutoring time AND has shown marked improvement!"
C. W., parent

"It's such a relief to have found an educational service like yours! My husband and I are thrilled with our son Greg's results."
J. C., parent

"I didn't think I would ever get geometry, my worst subject! But almost right away Mary T. knew what I was doing wrong and just what to say to help me understand what was going on."
M. E., student

"It was more than we could have expected. We knew that Michael could succeed in school if he had the right environment. Your tutoring sessions created that perfect balance. You've got quite a knack and we're looking forward to next year."
J. T., student

“She made learning fun almost to the point where I looked forward to going to class each day.  I felt confident and proud of my accomplishments.  It was worthwhile too.  During my first year I raised my D average to an B average.”
K. M., student
