What People Are Saying

“Simple Steps has been a huge success for my 3rd grader. She started tutoring in the middle of 2nd grade and continued through the summer, doing small group sessions. We kicked off the school year with one on one tutoring again and mid-way through 3rd grade, our daughter is excelling! She has renewed confidence and excitement for math and her timed tests. Without Simple Steps expert tutors, fun learning techniques, and personalized planning, this would not have been possible.”

— Diana Bren

“My son has been enrolled in a Simple Steps math group for 5th and 6th grade, and I highly recommend Sara and her team. Sara uses creative and engaging ways to teach math concepts and does a great job of tailoring lessons for individual students. When we began working with Sara, my son found math stressful and frustrating. He now enjoys it and has gained much more confidence; we recently learned from his teacher that he will be moving up a level in math for 7th grade. My son loves attending his math group each week, and we look forward to continuing on with Simple Steps!”

— Laurie Hubbard

“The teachers of Simple Steps Teaching have been fabulous and they really care about the kids. Both my children have been attending virtual sessions for the last few years. It's been a huge help with homework and really buffered the impact the pandemic had on the kids academically. I highly recommend Simple Steps Teaching for anyone who is looking for excellent academic support.”
