Mrs B. taught my son over the summer. He had barely passed to 2nd grade and I was very concerned. Mrs B. met with him for 6 hours each week. She taught him how to read more fluently and developed a solid math foundation including multiplication and pre algebraic concepts. He is now one of the brightest students in his class. I am beyond appreciative of Mrs B’s commitment, flexibility, firmness, nurturance and skill set. She knows how to bond with her students and help them understand that they are exemplary. 

The support and rapport built and provided along with the general care are much appreciated! Have referred and will continue to utilize her support!

First of let me tell you picking Tekisha was the absolute best decision I could've ever made! She is very good with kids, I mean all kids are different and she is very skillful dealing with each child differently, yet effectively, and lovingly! She really is more then a tutor, she's more like a family member at this point. The way she prioritizes her children, is unmatched. She is the one for you not the two.

Tekisha was absolutely amazing with our children. When she came on board, she took the time out to hear our concerns regarding where our kids were/are academically, and where we would like for them to be. As she started to work with them, there were some challenges; but the fact that she guaranteed she could get them further academically, and did speaks volumes. We would highly recommend her as well hire her again. 

Mrs. Tekisha has been wonderful in helping our daughter achieve the understanding she needs in school. She is firm but makes learning fun for my daughter. It has been a wonderful experience. 

Mrs.B was a GOD sent for my son and my family. she helped my son gain confidence in reading & we could not have done it without her guidance and patience. She truly has a special way of connecting to children.

My daughter is really reserved and shy child. She had been struggling off and on this year due to family dynamic changes, and recent moves. I have tried counseling and tutors and became frustrated before. I contacted Tekisha and she was able to come in, bond with my child quickly in a short period of time. We had less than two weeks before 3rd grade testing, and she came in and prepped my daughter and the results were stellar. I recommend her fully, and will continue to use her going forward.  

Mrs. B worked with my son and greatly improved his reading skills in a short amount of time. Not only did she teach my son but she incorporated fun learning methods so that he enjoyed spending time with her! I 100% recommend Mrs. B and can't wait to work with her again!

My son was struggling in first grade and ended up being withheld a year and this past year he fell behind in his second year of first grade. He was having a hard time reading and writing and was far behind his peers. Concerned with how the school was teaching him and that they weren't giving him the correct attention needed, because he is a super bright kid, his mother and I decided to look for a tutor. I had read reviews on Tekisha and quickly set up an interview with her. We could tell that she was a going to work great with him and loved her confidence in our son.

Within two months of three times a week,  one on ones with Tekisha, my son is now reading and writing exactly where he should be and is advanced in his mathematics. Tekisha would some updates after every session while I was at work and kept me up to date the whole way. His mother and I both highly recommend Tekisha as a tutor. L always looks forward to working with her and she has clearly brought out his best!

Mrs. B. is outstanding. At her first visit, she promised us that our kids would read and write in six months. And, for our happiness, She accomplished this promise. She has her method to teach, and it is very organized and leads the child on a strait to the point and happy journey. She is also a wonderful human being. We needed to finish this process cause we moved to another city far away to continue her job with our family. My kids are missing her. Thank you, Mrs. B, for everything you've done to help our family. She is highly recommended.

We hired Tekisha to help our son with his reading and we have definitely seen great improvement since she started working with him. She is great with our son and he enjoys learning with her. She does a really great job at making him feel confident with himself and although we hired her for reading she also has started teaching him the Times table. We highly recommend her for tutoring lessons! Thanks Mrs.B!

If you are looking for someone to help take your kids to the next level, then Mrs. B is the best!  We hired her to help with our boys (6 &9) as they were doing online school due to COVID and we were working full-time jobs from home.  The improvement she was able to accomplish with the boys was nothing less than amazing.  She expected nothing but the best from the boys and this is what they gave her.  The boys would even tell us, "Mrs. B won't except that" and they would erase it and redo it.  She is encouraging and has a special way of connecting with kids.  She is patient, yet disciplined at the same time.  She was a pleasure to have as part of our daily routine for 4 months.  Unfortunately, we are heading back to IN, but wish we could take her with us. Trust me, you will not be disappointed if you have the chance to meet with and work with her.  The boys are going to miss you Mrs. B.  Thanks for all you have done to help us and the boys.

Mrs. B. is amazing! She is organized and committed to our children's learning and growth. She set goals for them and worked with them to reach their educational goals. Our children have learned so much from Mrs. B. She is the best!

We hired Ms. Tekisha for the summer and was amazed how much she was able to teach our 5yo in such a little bit of time. She did a great job and we would definitely hire her again.

Mrs. Tekisha is awesome! The work she has done with my 3 & 4 yr olds are outstanding. I'm totally  amazed by all they have learned in such a short period.

Tekisha was great! We hired her for tutoring lessons and she did not disappoint.

My Kids Love her!! My daughter teacher says she's done a complete 360 change since she's started tutoring which is great! I'll be using her for my son as well soon!

She is great and would hire her again and again. Me and my son adore her.
