My Nonprofit Reviews

My daughter is in 7th grade, and has always struggled in math. I was constantly told that they were going to hold her back. I couldn't grasp the new concepts, so I was of no help, but I tried as best I could. When she hit 7th grade, it was a culture shock (from 3-6 grade, she'd been in a Montessori with no actual grading system and no homework). She started at an F, and it just got worse from there. Her confidence was so shot from years of trying her hardest and thinking she was dumb (didn't help that her best friend was a math genius. She kept comparing herself to her). I knew that she needed intervention, stat, because no matter what I did, my husband who is decent at math, or my teen who is also a math whiz did, we couldn't give her what she needed.

I found iSchool by chance through a tutor finder, and I cannot tell you how much of a positive change this has been on my daughter. Kathy was so nice and welcoming, and my daughter was placed with an awesome tutor named Diane. It only took a few sessions for me to see some tangible change. My daughter actually walked out of a session and told me she had fun (um, excuse me? My kid just said math is fun? Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that would come out of her mouth). Then we started seeing the grades change. The Fs were gone, and replaced by Bs and As (seriously? I would have been happy just to get a passing grade, but this? I'm over the moon). Diane determined that my daughter CAN grasp concepts quickly, but she struggles with the communicative part. This was the very first time that a teacher saw the potential in her, and the first time that someone pinpointed her strengths, and hurdles. This was some psychology stuff here lol. Diane has the ability to modify her teaching methodologies to cater to the way my daughter learns.

I'm so thankful for these ladies. I've been telling everyone I know about this program ❤
