“She is very skilled in the subjects she teaches and is passionate about doing what is best for her students. Even off of the clock, Mrs. Amerson is a truly kindhearted person who deeply cares for everyone that she meets. She works to the best of her ability to do whatever she can to help and teach her students so that they can learn the skills they need for the future.”
“We worked with Ms. Emily for math tutoring for both of our kids and were very pleased. She was very easy to communicate with and to plan sessions. We did most everything through email but she did come out and speak to me in person a few times as well. We saw improvement with both kids grades. My daughter had been struggling and had a C in Algebra before we started working with Emily. She ended up with an A on the EOC test! I would definitely recommend her for Geometry or Algebra.”
“My daughter was struggling in Algebra 1 and desperately needed some additional tutoring. Emily was a GOD SEND!! Emily met with Emma once or twice a week. She went over homework assignments, reinforced lessons from that week at school. and In many instances completely retaught Emma the lesson in a way that she could comprehend it. She passed the class Algebra and we give Emily all the credit for giving her the tools and reinforcement she needed to succeed. The price was reasonable, but when I saw how much Emily was helping Emma succeed and build her confidence in herself; I would have paid that and more. She was worth every penny. I would recommend her to any parent who has a child that just needs a little extra help.”
“She went step by step and if I still didn’t understand something she showed me different ways to get to something. Not only is she flexible and understanding, she’s an amazing teacher.”
