PARENT REVIEWS:
“I can’t speak highly enough of Linda and her team! We engaged with the Teaching Tutor as a referral from a friend, and we have been extremely pleased since! My junior son was having some issues with math grades and Linda set us up with Mike who really dug in and immediately found a way to connect with my son and his grades dramatically improved within one semester….from a D+ to an A--. During the pandemic, we switched to “on-line” tutoring lessons and we have not missed a beat. I highly recommend the Teaching Tutor and intend to continue using their services with my other two children.” - Pat N. (DePaul College Prep)
“Linda has been tutoring our daughter throughout her high school years. She has given her confidence in her math abilities and taken her from a C to an A student. We are extremely grateful for her help. We don’t know what we would have done without her.” - Kate K. (Latin School of Chicago)
"In searching for a high school level math tutor, we found a class A gem in Mrs. Rizzi. As a high school math teacher, Mrs. Rizzi brings to the table actual experience as an educator foremost. Her demeanor and keen ability to connect with my son opened the door to absorb new and difficult concepts more readily. Mrs. Rizzi prepared my son to be able to evaluate and solve problems independently. By doing so, it increased his confidence and ultimately his grades." - Radusa O. (Maine South)
"My son Philip is a freshman in high school and has been lucky enough to work with Linda since the beginning of the school year to help him with Algebra 2. Thanks to Linda's patience and easy way of communicating, he has become much more confident in his math abilities. Linda obviously knows what she's teaching very well and does it with such enthusiasm that it has turned algebra from a frustrating puzzle into something he now feels he's got a very firm grasp of. Without this one-on-one instruction from such a wonderful teacher I'm sure we would be lost and homework would be a nightmare, instead he looks forward to meeting weekly with Linda to re-inforce his schoolwork and improve his grades." - Kate D. (Latin School)
"We have used Linda Rizzi to tutor my son in both Algebra and Geometry since his Freshman year of High School. I have found her to be a great resource in taking the time to thoroughly explain the concepts he is learning in the classroom. Not only did he gain a clear understanding of the assignments in a 1:1 setting, he demonstrated the knowledge as we saw tangible improvements in his grades. I would recommend Linda Rizzi as a very knowledgeable math instructor and tutor." - Walter G. (Maine East)
"Linda did an excellent job assessing my daughter's strength and weaknesses and is helping her to focus on learning what she needs to know. My daughter just loves her!" - Tiffany O. (Lane Tech)
"I was very pleased with Linda. She was always on time, patient, and my daughter grew more confident in maths under Linda's guidance." - Kaveri S. (Lincoln Elementary)
"Linda tutored my son in Geometry with great success. She was patient and engaging and had a good working relationship with our son. He earned an A grade for both semesters of the class thanks to her help." - Martina K. (Niles West)
"David is our son James' math tutor for the past several months. He is kind, patient and extremely good at what he does. We look forward to seeing him each week. He has challenged our son to get to the next level which has helped him become a more confident student. Our family highly recommends The Teaching Tutor. " - Tina G. (Lincoln Jr High)
"David is one of the best tutors my son has ever had. He has the ability to relate to my 14-year-old in a strong, positive way, while showing him how to work through complex algebraic equations. David has an extremely high proficiency in math and strong teaching skills. At the same time, he is a truly sincere, honest individual. My son looks forward to David's visits and genuinely obtains a greater level of understanding. I highly recommend David." - Michael K. (Disney II)
"I feel very fortunate that we found Linda as a math tutor. She tutored my daughter through an entire year of Geometry with great success. She helped my daughter understand the concepts and build her math confidence. My daughter says that she is really good at explaining how to do everything in a way that is easy for her to understand. She was always on time and flexible when additional things like quizzes and tests came up. We highly recommend her!" - Jennifer R. (Maine South)
"My daughter has been working with Linda for help in her Advanced Algebra/Trig Honors class. Linda has a very kind tone and a lot of patience. Linda asks for the topics in advance of our sessions so she can come prepared. She doesn't pretend to know everything and will admit if she doesn't know something rather than pretend she does. She also will follow up after our sessions if my daughter needs additional clarification." - Jessica A. (Walter Payton)
