We were looking for an excellent tutor to help my niece with Chemistry Honors and Pre-Calculus for quite a while. Thrive Tutors really has some great tutors that love their job! Our tutor has been tutoring my niece, a sophomore at Homestead High School, for the past year and a half now. We have developed a great relationship with her, and as much as I hesitate recommending her for selfish reasons (we want her all for ourselves!), she has been so great to us that I feel this is the least I could do (I’m not giving out her name though!).
As most of us know, many times students run into “academic emergencies”, whether it be a quiz or exam they have the next day, project overload, or any other major school-related crisis. We’ve had our fair share of those, and each time our tutor has been there to save the day. I mean, literally save the day. We’ve had her come to our house at 9:00pm the night before an exam, with a calm, understanding smile on her face, and leave an hour later with plenty of tips and words of encouragement for my niece. My niece responds very well to her encouraging style of instruction, and always goes to her exams feeling confident after tutoring sessions.
I’ve also noticed my niece’s study habits improved dramatically since we started working with our tutor. She is a lot more organized and knows how to approach difficult concepts – something she has always struggled with.
Last point – I’ve worked with tutoring companies where we’ve paid 80 – 90$ an hour for a tutor (which I find ridiculous), and this company definitely does a much better job for half the price.
