“Our family met our tutor four years ago when our oldest daughter needed help with math.  Firm Foundations has been tutoring all three of our children since then.  Their teaching style and genuine love for our children have made all the difference in their success at school, especially in math.  Our tutor manages to teach very difficult topics with such ease, simplicity, and fun so that our children can’t help but learn and retain the information.  She is engaging, supportive, and encouraging.  She is more than just a tutor that shows up to teach a subject.  She genuinely cares about our children’s long-term growth and development.  She attends their extracurricular activities to cheer them on and communicates directly with their teachers to review course content and curriculum.  She is not just another tutor.  She is gifted in her profession and has a rare passion and love for children and teaching.”

“We have had the best experience with Firm Foundations!  My oldest child was diagnosed with ADHD and I didn’t feel that the schools were able to sufficiently accommodate her needs as an ADHD student.  With that in mind last year I decided to homeschool my 10th grader.  We needed a tutor for math and I chose Firm Foundations.  Our tutor is amazing!  She has gone above and beyond what I expected a tutor should be.  She created a curriculum specifically tailored to how my child learns.  She explains everything in a way my daughter is able to understand and retain.  My daughter looks forward to tutoring and actually feels successful in math now!  Another way Firm Foundations is great: if we have a busy schedule one day our tutor will meet us at the library or even Panera Bread!  It is as though a huge burden has been lifted from my shoulders.  Thank you Firm Foundations!”

“My child was struggling to keep up with his homework in several classes.  This was leading to frustration for the whole family.  I made the decision to call Firm Foundations since they were recommended by a friend that had used them for their child.  I am so glad I did!  Frustration has decreased and I’m happy to say that he likes his classes more and has pride in his accomplishments in school.  I am happy to write this for Firm Foundations because of how much they continue to help us!”

“For the past two and a half years of our daughter’s high school experience, we have had a Firm Foundations tutor work with her on mathematics.  Our daughter had always done well in mathematics and moving from out of state, had Algebra I in middle school.  However, we wanted her to make the transition to NC public schools with ease and to continue to do well in the blended high school mathematics program, e.g. Math 1, 2, 3 instead of Algebra II, Geometry, etc.  Firm Foundations has more than exceeded our expectations.  Our tutor is engaging, funny, exuberant and passionate about her subjects and more importantly, her students.  Thanks to her, our daughter continues to do exceptionally well in math courses, now taking math at the community college level as a junior.  Our faith is so strong in our tutor that we have asked her to work with our daughter in preparation for SAT in Reading and Math.  Students at any level of mathematical skill will enjoy their time with Firm Foundations as they easily establish a relationship.  That foundation of trust, relationship and skill building is why we would recommend Firm Foundations to anyone!”

“We began working with Firm Foundations last year when homeschooling our daughter.  Our tutor started out as the ‘tutor’ and was quickly promoted to the ‘teacher.’  Her enthusiasm, joy, and knowledge for teaching are evident in all of her interactions.  We made the transition back into traditional school this year, however, we were not willing to give up our excellent tutor.  Our boys were also begging to work with their tutor because they saw how exciting she made math.  They now all meet with her once a week for homework help just to keep them ahead of the game.  Just last week our tutor helped our son with a homework problem over the phone, and in a matter of minutes, she had answered his question.  All of our children look forward to their weekly session with Firm Foundations and their confidence in math is soaring.  We have children both in grade school and middle school and I would highly recommend Firm Foundations for any tutoring needs.”

“Firm Foundations is absolutely the best!  My daughter was struggling in algebra in high school, that is until we found Firm Foundations.  Our tutor has amazing teaching methods and the patience of a saint.  She was always helpful, kind, and gave my daughter her confidence back.  Once algebra was over it was time to take the SAT and we again called on Firm Foundations.  Sure enough, she was there every step of the way and was, as usual, awesome.  My daughter wanted to go to a particular college, and when she was not accepted, our tutor drove three hours to meet with the school’s administration on her own time.  During my daughter’s first year of college, Firm Foundations continued tutoring for us.  When my daughter came home for Christmas break she was having difficulties with her statistics class and Firm Foundations was there again to save the day!  Our tutor worked many hours over that Christmas break with enthusiasm and never wavered!  My daughter is now a junior in college and because of Firm Foundations she has finished all math and statistics required for graduation.  I would highly recommend Firm Foundations to you!  Thanks for all your efforts Firm Foundations!”
