Our experience with Tutor Doctor has been outstanding! Thanks to the support of our tutor,…read moreJonathan, our son went from earning an F in 8th-grade Integrated Math to a B+. He also finished the year on the Honor Roll, which truly would not have been possible without the extra help and encouragement he received. Jonathan has been a perfect fit for our son. He is incredibly patient, kind, and knowledgeable in math. He understands that our son learns best through repetition and plenty of practice, and he always takes the time to explain concepts in a way that makes sense. We've seen such an increase in both our son's confidence and his understanding of math. Chris at Tutor Doctor has also been wonderful to work with. He has been informative, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping us make the best decisions for our son's tutoring, progress, and long-term goals. We are so grateful for the positive impact Tutor Doctor has had on our son's academic success and would highly recommend them to any family looking for personalized, high-quality tutoring.

Deutsch mit Silke macht sehr Spaß indeed! When I first…read moredecided to learn German 6 months ago, I was convinced I would never understand the complexities of the language . Then I found Silke! A master of her craft, always smiling, Silke's warm,friendly demeanor is contagious. Silke knows how to conduct her classes so you leave feeling like you have been wonderfully challenged, supported, entertained, encouraged and improved. Now with a strong understanding of the grammar and structure, I am able to form sentences and sing in German! Yay! I will continue to study with Silke because I can see how quickly she has helped me improve! I recommend Silke to anyone curious about learning German. She is the best!!!! Viel Spaß!

After searching for a local German class for conversation, I tried Silke's, but left in discomfort after just 6 of 10 classes. She made judgements and personal comments on students (appearance, background) and asked questions about their home and personal life, which she used later in criticism and nasty, be- littleling comments in the guise of teaching German! Fun in the class was generally what she made of you. Her negative commentary escalated when a student was absent from class or from 'treffin', a supposedly voluntary activity . Her teaching method involved joy at pitying students (schadenfreude) as a supposed motivator. Perhaps this is her attorney training, but it caused the class to be very cautious in responding to her and inhibited exchange. She has her pet students also (oddly, not based on ability), and this tended to polarize class interaction. The class is held in a small room off her foyer that holds 5-6 people and becomes overheated quickly. She shouts when excited during instructing and correcting students, and this felt more like a prosecutor's interrogation than a class. This class is a price-premium, classical European experience from a former century. The teaching method relies strongly on manipulation and intimidation. Perhaps, it requires more than a teacher's ego to instruct effectively? Caveat Emptor....
