Almost two years ago, I was desperate for a tutor who would help my twins who were Freshman in high school at the time. I remember seeing Julie on a Facebook group, and I wondered how she was as a tutor. I can't even begin to tell you how she has changed our world. My twins went from struggling in math to really enjoying their classes. Test taking has become a bearable task, and their grades are looking great for college applications that are upcoming. I am blessed and grateful and will continue using Julie until my younger two are ready to join in in her tutoring. Thank you Julie for everything. You are patient and talented at what you do.

We want our students to succeed
My daughter wanted a math tutor in high school, and a friend highly recommended Julie. She has worked with us for 3 years now, and I can say with certainty that my daughter’s great attitude towards math and her top grades are due to their work together.
My daughter enjoyed meeting with Julie locally before the pandemic and now finds the online meetings just as effective. Julie, and her team of tutors, know the Issaquah School District curriculum very well. It’s always been easy to find a time that works with our schedules, and easy to add a few extra sessions when needed.
Having a little extra one on one help has made all the difference. Last year, we also shared online sessions with a good friend, which was fun and allowed the girls to easily help each other outside of the tutoring session, when needed.
Well worth the time, money, and effort. I would recommend this service to anyone who needs that little extra help.

I was referred to Ms. Julie by another parent from my son’s elementary school back in early 2019, and he has been taking lessons from Ms. Julie for almost two years now.
There is no doubt that Ms. Julie is really familiar with the material ISD uses. The way she teaches is well structured, and it doesn’t only help my son understand the contents /lesson/ material itself but also teaches him to use different methods to tackle the problems.
The transition from elementary school to middle school is definitely much smoother for my son with Ms. Julie’s help in preparing him both academically and mentally.
I’m happy to recommend Ms. Julie as your child’s tutor also.

What really sets Julie apart is how she connects with her students. Kids respond so well to her, because it’s so very obvious how much she cares about their success.

My high-school-aged daughter has been seeing Julie for math tutoring for three years now. Each new math course has come with unique challenges for my daughter, and Julie has helped her meet each one head-on and find success. Of course we love the result of good grades, but even more valuable than that, is the caring way Julie has worked with her, empowering her to trust herself while putting in the time and hard work and greeting each new challenge with confidence.

My daughter, Athena, has been tutoring with Julie and her staff for over a year. This has been such a great experience. Just a few weeks after starting the program, she has kept an A in math. Her confidence has stayed strong the entire time.
The tutors that Athena has worked with have been excellent. They have been able to understand her needs and target the learning to get the most out of her. She continues to tell me how much she looks forward to math now, and her tutor continues to make it a fun process and an hour feels like 15 minutes. We are so appreciative to Julie and her great staff that we are a part of this program.

I have been using Julie as a tutor for three years, and it has been more than helpful for my math learning and skills. I have become more confident and eager to succeed thanks to her approach to learning math. Julie is not only a great tutor, but an overall wonderful person who I really enjoy working with!

We started working with Julie a few years back to help my daughter with 4th grade math. Within two months, my daughter went from feeling like she was not very good at math to being very confident in her math abilities and actually liking math. Within six months, she finished her school year curriculum and began to work ahead of the class pace, which really helped her confidence soar. She is now a 6th grader, confidently taking 7/8 condensed, and Julie continues to help us solidly the concepts each week. My daughter loves math now, and is even interested in tutoring others because of her experience with Julie. Highly recommend!

We have been with Julie (our wonderful math tutor) for just over 2 years now. My daughter has gone from being frustrated with math to actually enjoying it, and she is doing quite well. When we had researched other math tutoring outfits, we felt they did not provide the one on one concept that Julie offers. Julie is very caring and has given our daughter the confidence to succeed, we are so glad we found her.

Julie has been my tutor for couple of years now, and I have never enjoyed being tutored more. I’ve always had a hard time with math, but Julie gets me around my confusion and helps me learn and understand math. She’s very sweet, and I always look forward to seeing her when she teaches me. :)
Riley (student)
My daughter has always struggled with math. She began to see Julie when she was in middle school. It was one of the first times she was able to meet with a tutor who was able to explain the curriculum in a way she could understand it. My daughter always looked forward to meeting with Julie. Julie was always proactive about checking on upcoming assignments, inquiring about quizzes and grades. Julie continued to be our tutor through high school. I highly recommend Julie as a tutor.
