She takes the time to understand the needs and interests of her students. My search for a math teacher for our child. Would be someone who helps in areas needed for improvement and advancement in higher mathematics.

At the same time, keeping it interesting and challenging for student. Mary Beth is well thought out she’s great at communication, lesson plans and skill 
level of the student. She does her best to understand the needs of her student.

We wanted to find someone that didn’t look at teaching as a job. That truly enjoyed teaching and the joy that comes from it. Mary Beth is that, she cares, listens, and engages the student.

I would recommend Mary Beth’s tutoring services to anyone looking for a patient teacher who creates an environment that encourages students to learn. I hired Mary Beth for pre-algebra lessons. My son enjoys working with her. I do not have to force him to get online, and when I increased the lessons from 30 minutes to 60 minutes after school, I did not receive any pushback from him. I love how Mary Beth uses technology during her lessons to teach Math problems and provides feedback to parents on their child's progress with recommendations. My son’s understanding of pre-algebra has increased since working with Mary Beth. I am thankful for her support!

My son benefited immensely from the Math tutoring from Mary Beth. It provided him the confidence he needed, leading to his exam week. Thank you, Mary Beth.
