Back to basic really helped my granddaughter there was time where she felt like she could not be herself because she did not know certain things like mathematics and also they help her to be her self

We have Mr.David Lerner tutoring my daughter in math. She went from having 60 in the first marking period to 100 in the last marking period. Mr.L did not only help her improve her math skill but her confidence. He makes their session very interactive, I hear their discussion and I'm impressed how he ties an 11year olds interest to solving maths lol. I would definitely be requesting Mr. L in the future if we have the need.

After retiring as a fulltime public school teacher, I started working as tutor for Back to Basics about 6 months ago. I really love working with this company. I found the staff to be extremely professional and supportive. Besides making support materials readily available, they hold frequent webinars for the tutors. I see myself working with this company for years to come. If you are a teacher or tutor, I highly recommend working with Back 2 Basics. And my students... I get such satisfaction with working with them. When a parent tells you their child got their first "A" in Math because of you, well, it just warms the heart!

My daughter was a full-time student of the Back to Basic school: Augustine Hills School. She completed her junior and senior year there. She graduated in 2021 and has since moved on to college in hopes of becoming a doctor. The one-on-one education allowed her to learn in a more conversational way than what can be done in a traditional classroom. As a result, she enjoyed learning. After school, she would tell me stories about current and historical events she'd never heard of in a way that sounded fascinating. She told me every detail of every character in her British Literature courses. She even built anatomical models of human organs in her free time because her anatomy classes interested her so much. The teachers and the school were the best things that could ever have happened to my daughter. She was always a smart kid, but prior to attending Augustine Hills, she had fallen in with the wrong crowd and completely lost interest in school. I can't thank you enough for putting my daughter back on the right path and setting her up for a successful future!

I previously tutored for other organizations however, Back to Basics is by far the best. Not only do they treat their employees well, but they go above-and-beyond to provide tutors with the tools necessary to affirm successful academic outcomes for students all students.

The week of 3/21-3/25 has been my first week of tutoring students from the Christina ISD. I appreciate that B2B assigned the potential students to me, I was given the parents email address, phone number and their teacher's email. I contacted everyone that responded and then scheduled the students accordingly. This early in my tutoring position I haven't completely figured out all the websites (worksheets) that I will be using with each student. I didn't receive any feedback from 2 out of the 5 students that I was assigned to. Gus informed me to just move on with the parents/students that I did receive an answer back from. So far the process has been good.

Keep Going! Overall my satisfaction with Cynthia Beckwith has been tremendous. Cynthia takes her time with my child and meets him right on his level. For me that has allowed my kindergartner a smooth transition this school year. Since the start of tutoring I have been watching close to see how my child react to learning new concepts and it has been more than a great surprise to me words can’t explain my gratitude. My kindergartner looks forward to his zoom meetings and he always looks forward to tell a story to Miss Cynthia. I love it a lot especially as a first time mom I advocate for children and this will always be remembered. Thanks for all you do especially helping with my kindergartner

My granddaughter goes there for tutoring in all subjects. Mrs. King is her tutor. I could not ask for a better teacher. My granddaughter enjoys going and always learns something new.
