"Mrs. Ortega is a great fit for my daughter. She explains pre-algebra concepts in a way she can grasp and is always willing to offer extra help if needed. She is easy to communicate with and has made this year of math a success!"
"Mrs. Ortega is wonderful! She reignited my daughter's interest in math and created space for her to ask questions and get the one on one help she needed. We are so grateful for her!"
"Our daughter has been taking Transition Math with Mrs. Ortega has been such a game changer ! We came from a Saxon Math background at home and were having some struggles with engagement and falling behind with math. The switch to having Mrs. Ortega in person has renewed her enjoyment for math and is helping her cement the building blocks needed for further advancement with math. Our daughter said this is now one of her favorite teachers and couldn’t wait to take another math class with her next year. We organized her next year course load around making sure she could take Pre-Algebra with Mrs. Ortega. It’s wonderful that math has stopped being a struggle, and our daughter is very proud of herself for coming so far with math. This is in no small part to the fantastic job Mrs. Ortega is doing - kudos !!!"
"My girls and I LOVE Mrs. Ortega, her kindness, and the way she makes math easier to understand. She went above and beyond to help my girls in pre-algebra and transition math, always willing to support them when they needed extra help, and giving me helpful tips for supporting them from home. She is an absolute gift to homeschool families!"
"I love how she’s funny and really cares about us and the subject she’s teaching."
