"Jessica Oates tutored my children for 4 years during middle school and part of freshman year of high school. I cannot give a higher recommendation for a tutor. She is knowledgeable, patient, kind and a great advocate for the kids she tutors. Both of my children (boy and a girl) had a great respect for her and sought her out with questions and needs they had without my instruction to do so. Their grades reflected the time and care she took to prepare them in their studies of all subjects. If there was something that she was not as rehearsed, she did not hesitate to investigate or refer us to another resource. The Lake Norman community has a gained such a treasure, we were very sad to see her relocate. We wish her all the very best!" - K.G. |
"Ms. Oates is an amazing teacher and tutor. She built confidence in both of my girls and helped them to love math. Stewart started off 6th grade in standard plus and by the end of the year had an a plus average and highly recommended for honors math for 7th grade. Although Stewart didn't necessarily need a tutor, ms Oates gave her more confidence and pushed her to always do her best. We are sad we can't have ms. Oates as a tutor anymore!" - A.W. |
"Mrs. Oates was an outstanding tutor from day one. She spoke with me on the phone prior to our first session and wanted to know very specifically what my daughter needed help with. When we arrived at her first session she had organized a grammar notebook to review with my child each session and for my child to take home and review as well - I was super impressed! Mrs. Oates was always very prepared, yet happy to help my daughter with other subjects as well when need be. She was very flexible and knowledgeable on many subjects. Regretfully, we had to end our time with Mrs. Oates because of an out of town move. Mrs. Oates was so sweet and gave my daughter a going away gift that was very personal and heartfelt. She sincerely cares about the children she tutors. My daughter did not like school nor her school work, but she LOVED her time with Mrs. Oates. Mrs. Oates made learning fun for her. She is an incredible teacher, tutor and friend." - M.N. |
I wish we had started using Jessica earlier in the year! She certainly helped my 7th grader bring his grade up in Honors math, but also helped him get organized and improve upon his homework skills which was invaluable! - W.B. |
