"I can't tell you what a difference working with Paul has made in [my daughter]'s work. I used to have to fight with her to do her math homework every day--last week she came home and said now it's her favorite subject! Thank you so much!"
- Carol M., 8th grade parent
"Thank you thank you thank you! [My daughter] got into her first choice school and we couldn't have done it without your help on both her SATs and her calculus class. I'm so proud of her!"
- Kristen P., 12th grade parent
