“I reached out to Hodis for math tutoring help for my 8th grade son. Drew was very responsive and easy to work with to find a time and tutor that worked for us. Muan (our tutor) was awesome to work with. He really explained it in a way that was easy for my son to understand. He is kind, patient, and my son actually enjoys the sessions. He helped improve his grade 2 letter grades in one quarter! I highly recommend Hodis, they are professional, prompt, easy to work with, reasonably priced, and incredibly helpful!”

“Our family got what we expected in the way of professionalism, but what impressed us was depth of expertise and teaching ability. Fun, positive, insightful, and the cost was very reasonable.  We’ve had several different tutoring services over the years with my three kids.  This one was by far the best in the way of results and overall experience.  As an adult, I’m considering a guitar lesson course for about 6 months.  This is a very talented group of instructors who really know their way around ‘people’ and how to teach them.”

“Reached out to Hodis to help my middle schooler prepare for a Math placement test for High school.  Drew (the director) was very prompt in responding & answering all my questions to make an informed decision.  Muan (math tutor) was great to work with.  He helped prepare daughter for the assessment, giving appropriate practices and exercises during the week to work on and explaining concepts that needed more support.  He was always on top of things in communicating with us.  Would definitely recommend”
