Testimonials for Tutors

"Top of the Line is just that - an exceptional tutor service.  They helped both our children with high school Chemistry, Algebra, Calculus and general study skills.  The tutors were vibrant, knowledgeable and able to teach tough curriculum effectively.  Thank you."  ~Darrell

"Meghann was great! I loved how she was so patient with me. She really took the time to help me out and I appreciate that very much. I would recommend top of the line tutors to anyone.  Thanks again. You guys are awesome! ~Rosana

"Hi Cindy, Kitt likes Danny very much.  They did about 2 hours on Friday.  He
is up a full grade in the class as well. Believe they have another session
this evening.  Thanks so much for your help."  ~Robert

“Jaime is wonderful!!!  We have LOVED her!  This will be our last session, for now, as my daughter is well caught up!”

“Andrew is a perfect fit for our 15 year old son.  He understands the temperament and patience involved – he contacts the teachers with email concerning all to do with my son – Andrew is SUPER!” 

“Thank you for finding a tutor that met Sam’s schedule – she did well on the final and got her A for the semester.  Those don’t mean as much as her confidence though – we’ll keep in touch.”

“Sometimes even very hardworking, conscientious high school students can get themselves into a BIG MESS!  Our daughter spent the majority of her time during the semester trying to keep her head above water in an advanced weighted math class.  This had a bad effect on two other classes, Spanish and Biology, that she was forced to gloss over time-wise in her efforts to not flunk math.  Over winter break and before the finals, Top of the Line Tutors sent over highly qualified tutors, who saved our daughter’s neck.  Through the one-on-one instruction our daughter was able to better understand what she was doing in her three most difficult classes and made a 4.0 GPA for the semester.  If we hadn’t called Top of the Line Tutors, the academic outcome for our daughter would definitely have been much different.  Top of the Line Tutors was worth every cent we paid them.  We highly recommend this company.”

“The tutoring is definitely helping Anna!"

“Thanks for helping Matt make it last semester.  Please help him finish this one to graduate!!!”

“Lynsi was very helpful!”

“We love Kelly!  I’ve already had good feedback from my daughter’s teacher.  Thank you so much!”

“Celeste, thanks so much for all your help.”

“My son connected really well with Celeste.  It was really great that she had experience and knew the material well.  She works with my son as a whole person – not just the math!  He’s had several tutors and with Celeste his grade has improved.  Thank you.”

“We love Kelly!  My daughter has changed her whole reference in terms of math.  Now she says she’s really good at math!” 

“Both Celeste and Lynsi are great!  We’re glad we found Top of the Line Tutors!” 

“Just wanted to write you a quick email to tell you what a great tutor Hugh was.  I am very thankful for the time he took to explain things to me, even going the extra mile to fit in inconvenient emergency sessions.  At the time he was tutoring me, he was faced with the stress of finding a job, and yet still managed to be friendly, helpful, and efficient in every session.  I think it takes a special person to go beyond the call of duty, even sacrificing personal time, to help out a needy student.  I really couldn’t have done it without him.”

“Lynsi was a great help!  Our son brought his grade up markedly in just 2 weeks!  Thank you!”

“Hugh was great! Aside from his positive attitude and great teaching skills, he made himself available via email.  Thanks very, very much!” (Computer Tutor)

“Kelly is extraordinary!”

“Amber is wonderful!”

“We love Kelly! Kanai is really enjoying school now! Thanks!

“Thanks for your help.  I recommended you to my mom for my sister and another classmate.  I thought I was going to fail and I got a C in the class!”

“I wanted to give a little feedback on my tutoring experience with Jeff as we sign off on this process.  As you predicted, Jeff was a great match for me for my test preparation.  I approached Top of the Line Tutors™ for a GRE math tutor, what I got was more than that.  I got a person who was well acquainted with the ETS testing scenario and the specific test for which I was preparing.  Though this overall test prep initially came as a surprise since I thought I’d be learning math problems and principles exclusively, it was one of the most useful aspects of my time with Jeff.  All this is to say, in addition to preparing me for the math problems which he did well, Jeff assuaged some of my tension about the test by helping me to know what to expect.  I did reasonably well on the GRE – FAR, FAR better than I would have done without Jeff’s help… and your help.  I am grateful.  Thank you for the support and help!”

“THANK YOU!!!”

“Thank you again for your help.  Tiana was much more confident as she finished her assignment.  Even I began to remember again! J”

“The tutor session went really well.  We met for an hour and a half, and she was very efficient, very well prepared, and very good at teaching.  We’re set up to meet twice a week.  Thanks for all your help.”

“Thanks for your help – my kids really like Lynsi!”

“Lynsi is doing such a great job – it’s made a big difference.”

“Tyler is doing a great job, and is really easy for Allison to work with!”

“Celeste was an excellent, fabulous tutor for my son, David.  I can’t speak more highly of her – she was brilliant.  He loved her and did very well with her.  We will definitely call you in the future if we ever need help with anything.  Thank you so much, Cindy, for your service!”

“Lynsi does a great job with my son!  His grades really improved and so did his attitude at school!”

“Ryan is doing great with Jeff.  Thanks!”

“Just so you know, Heather has been absolutely great; she saved my last test from what would no doubt have been a failing grade into a B-. I was shooting for a C- and even would have been happy with a D, so you can imagine how happy I am.”

“Thank you so much!  Joe is Great!  J”

“JoAnna was fantastic!! And Casey’s grade improved!

“Cleo said Lynsi was a great help!  Thanks!  We will be in touch for next year!  Thanks!”

“Joe is really great with Michael, patient and thorough – and he always digs out the answer and finds a way to help Michael ‘see’ and understand.  Thanks!”

“Joe was great!  My son really enjoyed working with him!”

“So far, we are very positively impressed by both Bart and JoAnna!”

“Thank You – he got an “A”

“Michael got along very well with Bart---and, better yet, he got an A on his test on Friday--first one all semester.  Thanks for that.”

"PJ is doing a wonderful job.  He is a very nice person.  He also is very flexible with his hours.  Stephanie enjoys having him as a tutor!! Thank you!"
~Janice Roberts

“Cindy is an excellent teacher.  She’s thoughtful and understanding and her teaching is clear and easy to understand.”

"Cindy worked with me as a tutor in the LINK Program for most of the past school year.  She was effective, professional, efficient, and extremely appealing to her students.  Her effectiveness was evidenced by the change of her student's grade from F to C and then B.  Professionalism was present in her responsibility, her knowledge of her subject, and her interest in her students.  Efficiency was clear in that the grades began to change within a month of her involvemet with her student.  The rapport she established with her student was obvious when she was unable to work with him for several months and then upon return, she was received like a dear friend.  Cindy is a fine person and it was a pleasure to work with her.  She cannot be recommended too highly.    ~Kathy Phair, Teacher/Liaison, LINK Program

"To Whom It May Concern:  Cindy Umholtz was hired to tutor my son, Hadrian, in Geometry nine weeks into the school year.  At that time, he was failing the course. He scheduled extra time with his teacher, but she failed to help him.  Cindy began tutoring Hadrian three times a week, one hour per session.  Hadrian's grades started to improve within a short time and the stress he felt about being in Geometry class gradually disappeared.  By December, Hadrian was only seeing Cindy twice a week and after winter break once a week.  By February, he was tutored only occassionally  He ended the semester with the highest grade in his class on the semester exam.  I believe had it not been for Cindy's expertise and encouragement Hadrian would not have achieved the success he did in this course.  Cindy also tutored my daughter in Algebra 1 during December and January.  Julie's grade at that time was a C.  She now has an A in the class.  I am certain Julie would not be doing this well had Cindy not worked with her.  Both my children's response to Cindy was extremely positive.  Unlike their teachers at school, they felt Cindy was very easy to work with and could explain math concepts in a way they both were able to grasp.  She was cheerful, patient, gave them confidence when they needed it most, and was always there with a smile.  I would highly recommend Cindy in any tutoring or teaching capacity.  Her enthusiasm and knowledge would no doubt carry over into the classroom.  Sincerely,  Linda Black
