Reviews
"Mr. Levi has helped to build my son's confidence. He is more than just a tutor. He has become his mentor. He expects him to log in on time and for his works to be done, and he holds him accountable. Mr. Levi teaches him life skills as well as schoolwork."

"I'm 63 and I felt that I was too old to learn new things. But since I've been tutoring with Rachel I'm now learning new things and enjoying it. I'm not where I want to be yet, but I'm not going to stop working until I get there."
-Linda B.
"I like Mr. John's art class because it helped me learn how to draw way better, and it helped me learn how to be on point with my angles."
