If I could give 10 stars I would. The experience I have with Indigo Tutoring has been, how can I say it, life altering. What Karen brings to the table is to find the right person for the right circumstances, every time! Her involvement in my child's education, from grade school math and reading, through Stats in University, changed their total outcome... God bless you Karen! You gave my kid a real shot!
"Do yourself and your child a huge favour… hire Karen and her team. It will be the best decision you will ever make." |
"I just wanted to send you a BIG thank you!!! I'm not sure where I'd be with my son’s Reading Disabilities if it wasn't for you and all the care and kindness you've shown." |
"My son just got his first 90 in high school math! If you had told me this would happen last year, I would have thought you were crazy. He was advised not to sign up for advanced courses...and now has his heart set on Honour Roll. The money we have spent with Indigo is, hands down, the best investment we have made in his education to date." |
“Her newly acquired skills have genuinely changed her life. Our daughter is now able to ‘access’ her education. When she was diagnosed with a Learning Disability, we were just hoping to push her through school. We now believe that she can go on to higher education.” |
