Testimonials from happy parents:

11^th grader tutored in SAT-​prep

” Pat was extremely knowledgeable and immediately established a supportive relationship with my daughter. Her communicative skills were top notch. She was easy to understand which was very important. My daughter’s scores increased 60 points. And she had just met with Pat for 2 weeks!” –Lorton, VA

Rising 5^th Grader, Summer Session

«Pat Hudak was a wonderful tutor. She made my daughter (who’s quite shy) feel very comfortable with her. Ms. Hudak was also very comfortable working with my daughter in our home. Ms. Hudak would always talk to me after each session, and explain what math assignment she and my daughter were working on. I would totally recommend Ms. Hudak to any parent who is looking for a tutor. I would definitely work with her again. She is an amazing tutor, and I already see the confidence that my daughter has gained.» — Mrs. Latanya Colbert-​Martin, Fairfax, VA
