TESTIMONIALS

"Leslie is truly an outstanding tutor, and I highly recommend her! She is patient, upbeat, and encouraging with our son, who is in 9th grade at FCPS. She communicates well with us via email. Language Arts has always been an area of challenge for our son, and Leslie knows how to keep him engaged and motivated. Leslie helps him hone his reading comprehension, writing, and grammar skills, and, as a result, he is doing the best he has ever done in his English class. More importantly, she empowers him. She also helps him revise World History writing assignments. We are thrilled that Leslie will be able to work with our son again next school year!"

"Ms. Nightingale is an amazing teacher and editor. She made English an engaging subject, despite my prior lack of interest, and advanced my skills greatly. Even after years of further schooling and many more teachers, I came back to her for help with college essays because I knew no one else would be better suited for the job. She corrects grammar while helping the student develop a greater understanding of how grammatical choices affect things such as content and tone. She suggests how to connect ideas and insert content while maintaining the student’s voice and wishes. Her edits greatly strengthened my application, and I ultimately received admission to my top university. Ms. Nightingale continues to be a source of inspiration in the writing assignments I complete there, and I am thankful for her guidance.

"Ms. Nightingale is an outstanding essay editor who always dedicates her full time and energy to helping you craft a piece of writing you're proud of. She not only corrects grammatical errors and sentence structuring, but she also pays attention to the narrative you're trying to convey to provide content suggestions. Additionally, her edits are timely and professional. She stands out as a consultant because of her kind nature and willingness to listen to you and your story."
