“Ms. Preston has been an outstanding math tutor for our 6th grade son who easily loses his focus in the normal classroom set up with multiple students. Not only is Ms. Preston committed to teaching but she also has the patience and knowledge that is beyond impressive. Ms. Preston has provided my son with strategies to learn and solve problems with rather than just memorize concepts. Our son has been motivated to learn with Ms. Preston and he has kept his focus during the tutoring sessions. He has easily learned topics we had struggled to teach him before. The expertise of Ms. Preston in teaching and math has tremendously helped our son in his personal learning growth. That combined with Ms. Preston's sweet personality has made learning fun for our son!”
“ I cannot say enough about what a gift Samantha has been to our family. She is not only an excellent math tutor, but a truly gifted educator. What sets her apart is her ability to meet my child exactly where she is. Samantha took the time to understand how my child learns, where her confidence was shaky, and how to support growth without pressure. Because of her thoughtful approach, concepts that once felt overwhelming became clear, and my child gained confidence that extended beyond math. Samantha’s expertise is matched by her patience, kindness, and deep sense of purpose. She brings compassion, humility, and strong values into her work, treating each child with care and respect. Her teaching clearly reflects a belief that educating children is both a responsibility and a calling. Her work has been a true blessing to our family, and we are incredibly grateful for the growth we’ve seen. Any school or family would be fortunate to have her.”
