- Madison has a superpower when it comes to working with children. She has an innate ability to explain substantive material without causing stress or anxiety. I always say that when Madison walks in the house everyone is instantly relaxed. The work will get done. No one will be stressed. Everyone will be smarter before she leaves.
- When Madison was recommended to me, I was told that she would change my children’s approach to learning. This has proven to me true. My children look forward to her coming over and no longer stress about homework.
- Madison has a way to get through to my daughter and make the material digestible. She has a great rapport with her students and they actually enjoy her sessions!
- She’s amazing and has the ability to help across subjects as well as organizational support.
- Madison helped both my daughters in numerous ways. Not only is Madison educated, proficient and gifted at high (post-graduate Masters) levels of math and science, she is a warm and approachable young woman who made my kids feel comfortable and open to studying subjects that felt daunting. Madison was always able to keep my kids on task and focused on their work, even when it was difficult and they were struggling to grasp certain concepts. Madison is patient, and finds different approaches to keep working through problems until her students inevitably find their “a ha!” moment.

- What surprised me is that Madison was just as helpful to my kids with working through English essays and social studies assignments as she was with math, chemistry and biology. The depth of Madison’s knowledge is truly impressive. The idea that this highly intelligent young woman was even available to tutor my kids really struck me at times. Madison is a treasure, and her work with my kids bore fruit. Their grades went up, their test scores went up and their study habits became more structured (knowing that Madison would be checking in with a text to ask if assignments were completed and if the kids felt satisfied with the results). I offer the highest praise for Madison and would recommend her heartily to anyone whose children need academic help at any level.
- My kids needed someone who made them feel comfortable personally. Madison is youthful, friendly, and feels not far removed from the era of life of her high school students. She immediately put my kids at ease and this opened them to Madison’s expertise in the subjects they were struggling to grasp. Madison has a deep understanding of test prep (methods/tricks/tools/diligent repetitive practice) and the work she did with my kids paid off in tangible jumps in test scores for them. Hovering near the kitchen table as they studied, I was often floored by the depth of Madison’s intellect and the deft way she leads her students toward understanding concepts where they may be blocked. If one mode of teaching wasn’t working, Madison would pivot to another and another, until she found the path that my kids could follow. This is a part of teaching that defines a great teacher, and this is a gift Madison certainly possesses.
- Not only is Madison expert in the subjects she tutors, she has intangibles that are very attractive to parents. She is dependable. She is flexible (as flexible as she can be within her very busy schedule-she is highly sought after!), she develops a great rapport with her students, she follows up with them personally, encouraging them on testing days, congratulating them on achievements, holding them accountable (gently) on assignments she knows are looming and creating an atmosphere where fear dissipates and kids can let their intellectual guards down.
- Madison is a genuinely kind person who holds herself to high standards. She is an excellent role model. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
