JESSICA SANCHEZ, Spanish-English Interpreting
While Jessica has only just been with Back to Basics for a little over a year, she has made an impression on many. She is described as a motivated, caring, selfless, and proficient interpreter by office staff and our clients. Jessica is always willing to go above and beyond when needed. She has received numerous compliments from school administration and staff stating that she is “amazing” and does a wonderful job building a rapport with the families when on interpreting assignments.
Her work is always thorough and professional. After we send Jessica out on an interpreting assignment, we often get a call from the school asking if they can request her for every job.

JULIE NICHOLS, ELL Tutor
In her almost ten years with Back to Basics, Julie has assisted students age 5 to adult in meeting their goals. Her English Language Learning (ELL) students as well as others benefit from her broad knowledge of instructional reading and phonic programs.
Parents describe Julie as “the perfect match” for their child, “conscientious and enthusiastic”, and a tutor who “strives to help others succeed.” Julie is regularly requested by teachers and administrators for our district EL programs. Last year one teacher told us that she was “thrilled” when she heard Julie would be working with her students because she had seen the quality and care Julie brings to each lesson.
DAVE POWER, Secondary Mathematics and SAT Prep Tutor
For the past 16 years, Dave Power has provided his students with nothing less than exceptional service. Numerous families have returned over the years and have requested him to work with each of their children for all high level math, science, and SAT prep sessions.
Parents remark on Dave’s natural ability to immediately assess their child’s fundamental areas for growth. Another commented on his work with both her children stating, “He has a gift for explaining the most complex math topics in a way that has enabled each to not only understand the information during the tutor session, but also retain the information and build upon it as each math chapter is covered at school.” In addition, clients repeatedly comment that they see marked improvement with their child’s grades within as little as 2 sessions and that SAT Math scores have been seen to increase well over a hundred points.
