Reviews

Reviewed on 5/25/2017
Todd is a challenging and rewarding mentor. Holding me to high standards while offering me a constant avenue of support and resources, I saw my grades drastically improve as a result of our ongoing relationship. For example, because Todd taught me the value of planning my time while training me in a few strategies for managing my time, I have become capable of submitting more of my assignments on-time. Throughout my relationship with Todd spanning about 5 years, he has fulfilled multiple roles including but not limited to: English tutor, time management trainer, pep talker, college admissions adviser, spiritual counselor, job coach, and career adviser. Overall, I highly recommend Todd as a mentor for a student who is struggling with their academics (English and writing are Todd's strengths but he will be happy to provide tutoring and resources in all subjects), motivation, daily planning, and job/career preparation.
