Perhaps what I most appreciate about Carissa is that she’s not only been a good math tutor, but she gets along amazingly with my 15-year-old-grandson. He can be in a negative space when I pick him up from school, and he clearly perks up when he and Carissa are working together – I hear them laugh together often. There doesn’t seem to be any ‘superiority’ in the relationship although it’s clear that she’s won the respect of my grandson. Other things I also appreciate: she’s been highly reliable; she’s made every effort to accommodate and flex to meet our needs relative to schedules; she’s researched and recommended helpful resources; she’s been responsive when I’ve sent her messages; she’s been good about leeting us know if there a reason she needs to miss a session – and she always tries to make it up; she’s been willing to communicate with my grandson’s math teacher at school; and I should not fail to mention that I think her rates are quite reasonable. Carissa is able to be an effective tutor without standing on formality, and that not the impression I got from other math tutors I initially considered. I truly ENJOY seeing her every week, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

I'm the mom of one of her students. I really love her teaching style. She is super encouraging and my boy loves her! She's great at interpersonal relationships. After the lessons, she makes sure to catch up on his life and play with him (often when I'm late to pick him up lol). They have made huge progress so far and I couldn't recommend a better teacher.

Thanks to Theo and his service StudentCircle, my 7th grader, has gone from struggling in English to actually reading and understanding concepts and assignments. The change in just a semester has been remarkable! Thanks, Theo!!!
