Personal Statement

I started my work out of college as a middle school teacher. Then, I worked in the business world to learn how knowledge is used outside the academic environment. It helped prepare me to teach students what lies ahead after school. Wanting to learn new cultures and contribute to the education of those in another country, I joined the Peace Corps and went to work in Lesotho, S. Africa, for two years preparing high school juniors and seniors for the Cambridge O-Level Exams with math and Engl...

My 9th grader dug herself a hole and essentially had to complete a quarter?s worth of assignments in three days - Cynthia was very efficient, patient and kind and the assignments were all completed. I appreciated her flexibility in getting this done on short notice. Highly recommend.

She helped me writing my intent letter and resume for graduate school application. She is very sharp and very efficient. It was very easy to understand her explanation and I feel great about my work now. I will use her service again if I need and definitely would like to recommend her to others!

Cynthia was a perfect match for my Son. She reviewed the definitions, formulas and theorems, quite frankly so many other concepts that I just could not fathom. More than that however, she was patient and factual. She did not shame but truly guided him through times were he was just not into the lesson. Additionally, it was not just about Geometry, she also gave him guidance on study skills which he clearly needed in addition to the math. I saw a kid who was lucky to get D?s in previous years get A, B, and C?s on tests and assignments and Cynthia just kept pushing him to do his best and we finished out this year with an A-. She is fair with billing and scheduling and with Covid did a great job coordinating these lessons via Wyzant?s version of zoom. I would highly recommend Cynthia. Thank you so much for this year with you tutelage he exceeded his own expectations and is very proud of this accomplishment.

Graphing of polynomial function. And she was able to help my son understand the topic and how to deal the subject with confidence in test. He said he was happy with her tutoring.

Cynthia came very prepared and provided a very good outline for SSAT exam. We are very confident in her knowledge and communication skills as a tutor. We already see improvement in their testing abilities.

She is helping my freshman with geometry...Extremely knowledgeable in the subject. Most of all she?s very patient! And punctual! We?ve only had one lesson but so far she seems like a great fit!
- Jeanne K. from Bellevue, WA
Cynthia helped my daughter in middle school math. She is calm and is very knowledgeable. She helped my daughter realize that she knows the math but gets nervous during the tests. She showed her how to relax before hand etc... it was great. Thanks Cynthia!

She taught my daughter algebra, and I like how she explains the problems very easily and in a more simple way to do the problem. She helped me accomplish algebra!

Today was our first lesson, so far so good!! Nice to be able to tutor from home! Set up to the website was easy. Looking forward to his next lesson. Reliable and convenient!

My daughter was completely lost and frustrated with Pre-Calculus. After just one lesson, Cynthia was able to provide my daughter with much needed clarification and understanding.
- Lisa S. from Medina, WA
Cynthia is able to quickly review writing and make succinct, easy to understand corrections and recommendations for stronger writing. She relates easily with my high school student and he responded very positively to her comments and recommendations.

Cynthia spent time with my son to understand his perspective of what he might need support or additional help with. She was patient, positive and supportive. My son is looking forward to having more sessions with Cynthia.
- Kelly P. from Bothell, WA
When we started working with Cynthia mid Fall our daughter was struggling and was very frustrated with her Geometry class work/tests. She was struggle just to pass when in all others classes she was an A student. In the 7 months Cynthia worked with our daughter we saw confidence and her grade in this subject increase. By mid year she was getting an A in the class and this continued through the remainder of the year. Cynthia took the time to explain the Geometry work clearly and in a way that made sense to our daughter. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for support in this area.

Cynthia is helping my 13 year old with the ISEE. She is a clear communicator. Online lessons with the whiteboard work well, I would recommend her and this program.

I gave Cynthia a list of items to work on with my high school son. My son came home and said, we finished the math and English work. Thank you, Cynthia! We appreciate your help!

Cynthia explains things in ways I understand- much better than in class. I believe that my deeper understanding will improve my grades
- Liane S. from Kirkland, WA
My 10 year old son said he enjoys his tutoring sessions more than summer camp. He is taking SSAT tutoring for middle school applications. I am glad that he likes the sessions, in addition to academic learning.

Cynthia is a very knowledgeable instructor with Access databases. I would highly recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to contact her in the future if additional assistance with an Access database is needed.
