I know [my child’s work] with you is a big contributor to his come-from-behind success story. Thank you for being so encouraging and positive and practical in your approach with him. He loves working with you and it proves to him every session that education can be a positive experience.

We contacted Illana with hope of math tutoring for our child. As an educator, Illana has not only the ability to break down complex material in a way that makes sense for my child’s learning style, but she also attunes to her students and discovers where and how to help them build their own confidence. Her approach is clear and empowering and my child is reaching a level of confidence and competence that she (and we) are very proud of.

[My child] improved from 40th percentile to 82nd percentile in math proficiency since the beginning of the year…Just, WOW! Thank you for being a part of this massive improvement…not only to his math proficiency, but his self confidence as a student. Amazing!
