"Mary Beth has a wonderful style. She takes time to check to make sure my daughter understands before moving on and has really helped increase my daughter’s confidence in math. She had an immediate positive impact on my daughter’s grades."

"We engaged Mary Beth to help my daughter improve her ACT math score. She accommodated us on short notice, offering several sessions over a three-week period leading up to the next test. Mary Beth provided not only engaging lessons but also homework assignments to reinforce concepts, test-taking tips, and guidance on which equations to focus on for test day.
Mary Beth’s tailored approach was highly effective—my daughter’s math score increased by 3 points, from a 26 to a 29, raising both her composite and Superscore enough to move her into a higher scholarship tier at her preferred university. In our case, using Mary Beth’s services resulted in a 4100% ROI, which we are obviously thrilled about.
Mary Beth was patient, flexible, incredibly knowledgeable, and quickly formed a great rapport with my daughter. We HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for effective math tutoring, especially for test preparation!"

"Mary Beth jumped right in as primary teacher for math for my homeschoolers. She navigated varied learning styles and preferences and efficiently worked through diagnostics to assess correct learning path for each student. She is patient and fun and each of my 3 children has found a new love of math as a result of their time with Mary Beth. I am so grateful for her expertise and passion for the subject matter."
~ Kimberly
"Mary Beth is an exceptional tutor. She is really helping me grasp the SAT math work and comes to every session with a smile on her face. She also does a really nice job of getting ready to tutor you by preparing a slide deck of what you need to work on that day. I really recommend her as a tutor!"

"Mary Beth does a great job working with my son. She paces her lessons nicely and is very communicative about what he could work on during their lessons so he can continue building his foundations and work on stuff from school too. I appreciate her openness and her input on resources for extra work between lessons."
~ Jessica
"In the words of my 10 year old child, 'Mary Beth is patient and fun. She started easy so she could know what I knew, and that was very reassuring". She is excited to have more lessons with Mary Beth and this is coming from a child that does not like after school instruction at all. We are very happy and highly recommend her."
~ Jeronima
"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!"
~ Ayesha
"I have been taking lessons from Mary Beth for the past couple of months in preparation for the SAT, and she has honestly been incredibly helpful and kind. She explains the problems very clearly and always provides me with many tricks and tips on how to understand them. She never lets me be too hard on myself, and overall, she is just a fantastic teacher!"
~ Francesca
"Mary Beth was incredibly helpful. After my 6th grade daughter took her first ISEE test, we saw she needed a little help with Math, and we found Mary Beth. We wanted to travel this route rather than continue "ISEE Strategies", which we felt was also helpful but up to a certain point. Mary Beth was extremely calm and reviewed everything with her step by step. We took 5 lessons with her, and my daughter looked forward to every single one! Mary Beth reviewed current topics as well as prepping her for the more advanced math problems to expect on the test. My daughter said Mary Beth was very patient, and she never got frustrated on her calls. We saw a massive improvement in my daughter's score on her next test in all 4 testing areas! My husband and I think it was the additional confidence Mary Beth gave her going into the test that was a factor in her success. We do plan on reaching out to Mary Beth in the future if our daughter needs guidance. Thank you Mary Beth!"
~ Lisa
"Mary Beth is so kind and friendly. Before the first lesson, she asked to see some of my daughters work so that she could prepare. Her method of teaching is clear and helpful, and my daughter found her lesson enjoyable. Thank you Mary Beth for being so patient!"

"Mary Beth is an excellent teacher. She communicates clearly, and is knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. Our child enjoys her classes and looks forward to them. She takes the time to understand the needs and interests of her students. My search for a math teacher for our child is someone who helps in areas needed for improvement and advancement in higher mathematics. At the same time, keeping it interesting and challenging for the 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 students. We wanted to find someone that didn’t look at teaching as a job. Someone who truly enjoyed teaching and the joy that comes from it. Mary Beth is that- she cares, listens, and engages the student. If you’re looking for tutor or a teacher who will take their time and understand where your student or child is at, she’s excellent.🙂 "

" 'One of the best I’ve seen.' - Cian (Grade 5) on Mary Beth’s style of interacting during a tutoring session. Mary Beth’s sense of fun, love of math and kind demeanor filled our home with some serious joy of learning.

"As an adult preparing to take the MCAT for medical school, I knew I needed a review on several different math topics. It’s been over a year since I’ve been in school, and quite a few years since taking a math class of any sort. Considering that she had received very little information on the subjects I needed tutoring on since I didn’t even know where I was at myself, she did an OUTSTANDING job. She went above and beyond looking into the MCAT herself to help find the right topics to review with me. Since neither of us knew where my comfort level was within the different topics, she started with the basics and progressed at a speed that was comfortable for me. She was incredibly patient, kind, and made sure I understood each problem completely before moving on. I also didn’t feel like I was in a typical class lecture atmosphere, which made learning much easier and more enjoyable. I look forward to working with her more as I continue to learn what all the MCAT entails (and understand where I could use some improvement). I cannot recommend her enough to anyone needing some extra help or looking to learn new things!"
~ Abigail
"Mary Beth is awesome! We hired Mary Beth to help our daughter get through Pre-Algebra rather quickly. We had a deadline to meet to get through her online courses and Mary Beth came up with a plan and pacing that got her to her goal. She was also flexible enough to help with some of the other subjects, as well. Our daughter loved working with Mary Beth and was able to learn so much rather quickly. If we have any future tutoring needs with math or any other subject, Mary Beth will be the first person we contact, for sure. Thank you so much for all your help!"

"I had a session with Mary Beth over the weekend and really enjoyed it. I'm an adult and wanted to learn something new in the math world. Knowing I had a hard time with math classes growing up, she was so easy to learn from and I definitely want to do it again, either with the same theme or other math subjects. She showed up promptly on time and I really feel like I got my time's worth."
