When we were searching for a tutor for our 10-year-old, who's wild about numbers and curious about…read moreeverything math-related, we hit a wall. Most tutors and programs were all about speeding through problems, prepping for SATs, or just getting homework done--very commercial, not what we needed. Then we discovered David at Great Power, and it was like finding gold. His approach is incredible--he believes every kid is unique and tailors everything to their curiosity and potential. If you go through his webpage, that's exactly who he is: passionate, thoughtful, and dedicated to inspiring kids. Talking to him, we were blown away by his patience, his deep knowledge, and how he explains things so simply yet profoundly, whether to a five-year-old or a researcher. His storytelling style hooked my son instantly. Three months in, David's roadmap and the way he answers every question with care have made learning a joy for our son. We're super excited for the next math journey with him--he's truly the best! If you want a tutor who gets kids and inspires them to grow, David and Great Power are hands-down amazing!

His confidence at school was so low it was heartbreaking. Thank goodness a friend recommended EES to us. Now as a 4th grader we are seeing my son read at grade level with CONFIDENCE. We owe it to Carrie (the owner) and the teachers that have worked with my son. We love the one-on-one help EES provides, the open communication with Carrie, flexible scheduling, and the teachers my son has had. If your child is struggling at school, I would definitely not hesitate to call EES and get the help your child deserves to become a confident "reader."
