I was referred by a friend who had found Yolanda through Thumbtack. She had such a wonderful experience, she passed her contact information along to me when I was looking for a reading tutor for my first grader. If you are looking for someone to just help your child through homework, a college tutor will do. If you are looking for someone to help your child really develop and progress, Yolanda is the perfect tutor for you. While her background and credentials are impressive, those things do not always equate to a having a good tutor. More than being a tutor, Yolanda will become your child's advocate alongside you. She is willing to go above and beyond to help your child and also always open and available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your child. You will receive timely session updates on your child's progress so that you can really work with her to help your child. If you have any concerns about meeting online, let me assure you that the online experience is also wonderful. My son is actually more focused and has less distractions meeting online. He has his routine, getting his headphones on and getting the computer ready. He looks forward to his time with Ms. Yolanda! If you are serious about helping your child grow and develop, I would highly recommend Yolanda. read more

My 5 year old son started working with Yolanda in January 2017 after I was warned he could possibly repeat Kindergarten. Yolanda provided an initial assessment and devised a tutoring plan to bring him up to speed. With the support from school, home and tutoring sessions with Yolanda my son was up to speed by March. One of Yolanda's early goals was to have my son reading before the end of Kindergarten and at the time it seemed overwhelming but with her support he now can. My son enjoys working with Yolanda, lessons plans are engaging and appropriate for his age. Her knowledge has greatly helped me change the way I approach school assignments with my son. She quickly observed my son is a visual/kinesthetic learner and that prompted me to change how I helped with homework. I would definitely recommend Yolanda to any parent considering on-line tutoring. Not only is Yolanda a true professional in her field, she is organized, punctual and pleasant to work with. read more
