What do our amazing clients have to say?

Nourishing Minds Tutoring has been a tremendous help to our 7-year old son, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with them.  Nourishing Minds strikes the perfect balance – motivating our son to work hard and encouraging him to take pride in his work, while still keeping the atmosphere fun and loose. 

In looking for a tutor we knew we wanted someone who would teach our son how to learn, as opposed to just teaching facts or information.  His tutor does just that, tailoring his tutoring methods to fit our son’s personality and learning style.  We feel such relief knowing that our son is gaining skills that will make him a more independent and analytical learner in the future.

Chris of Nourishing Minds Tutoring has been working with my eight-year-old daughter in math for several months. In that time, we have seen an incredible improvement in her test scores and her confidence. Chris is patient and kind, yet knows when to be firm and encourage my daughter to overcome her hesitation when answering math problems.

The work that Chris did with our daughter over the summer also prepared her for what would be taught at the beginning of the 3rd grade. She started the year feeling confident and unafraid of new concepts, such as multiplication, and has been bringing home A’s on her math tests for the first time. I highly recommend Nourishing Minds Tutoring!

Can’t speak highly enough about Nourishing Minds. Chris took my son from failing math to flourishing! He’s now in high school and math is one of his favorite subjects!

We were referred to Nourishing Minds by friends of ours, and it felt a bit like being let into a best kept secret. We are having an outstanding experience. Both of our elementary school aged children have gained confidence in themselves since we started working with Nourishing Minds. They’ve also learned a lot of new tactics for understanding, breaking down, and solving math problems.

Schools are teaching math in very new and helpful ways, but as a parent who learned this “the old way,” it can be difficult to support kids when I don’t even understand the new methods. In every way, working with Nourishing Minds has been the right move!

Nourishing Minds has bridged the gap for our son from scoring below grade levels to getting on the path of meeting an exceeding! Nourishing Minds quickly identified our son’s deficiencies as well as identified his strengths to determine the best course of action for his progression. His tutor, Chris, has been able to identify with Silvio’s personality with the utmost of ease and has individualized his path to success on a par with Silvio’s in school lessons.

Chris comes to our house, spends an hour or more with our son, working tirelessly on strategies to help him succeed. Chris leaves each week after a comprehensive explanation of their work and goals moving forward. I could think of no better stepping stone to give your child a head above the rest!

We have been using Nourishing Minds since 2015. We were highly recommended by a family that used them. Before tutoring began our daughter was struggling with basic math facts and reading below grade level. Since our weekly incorporation of in home tutoring the anxiety of math is no longer a part of our homework regime and our daughter is an excellent and fluent reader. Our daughter’s tutor has helped us build confidence, consistency and it shows on the quarterly report cards.

I really love that the team will work with your children inside your home, this allows us to have one less commitment to attend outside of our home. We also use Nourishing Minds for summer maintenance since school is not in session to keep learned skills sharp. We would highly recommend using Nourishing Minds, you will not be disappointed.

Chris has been tutoring our son, William for two years and we are thrilled with his progress. He was transferring from a private school into the public school system. Through the placement exam, we discovered that William was behind in math compared to his peer group in the public school system. The goal was to help him reach grade level and pass the entrance exam into the enriched math program.

With Chris’ help, he was successful and is now taking enriched math and doing very well. More importantly, he is no longer anxious but is confident and enjoying math! Chris continues to work with William and provides an additional level of support. William can review concepts that he may not have fully understood in class in a judgment free setting. Chris also works with our schedule should conflicts arise. William looks forward to his tutoring sessions with Chris.

Nourishing Minds Tutoring has made such a difference in my son’s ability to confidently attack math and reading. He loves his tutor, and looks forward to sessions. His tutor has taught my son strategies for solving math problems and is now working on reading. His teachers have also noticed the effort my son now puts into his work, which has resulted in measurable improvements in his test scores.

My son is Autistic and Nourishing Minds Tutoring is extremely skilled at engaging and communicating with him. My son’s tutor is person-centered in her approach, using my son’s interests and learning style to improve academic functioning. I am so happy to have enlisted Nourishing Minds Tutoring to help my son and would highly recommend them to any parent seeking help for their child’s academic struggles.
