TESTIMONIALS

Zack G. from New York, New York

Mary is hands-down the absolute best person to go to for anything “writing-related.” Her knowledge and command of the English language is superior to any writing specialist or university professor I’ve previously worked with. If you need help with your college application essays particularly, I guarantee you will not find anyone who offers better services and will do a better job in assisting you throughout the process than Mary Wanser!

Rachel S. from Sarasota, Florida

Excellent ACT Tutor – Miss Mary did an excellent job preparing me for the ACT. She is very knowledgeable about the ACT and taught me very helpful strategies for the test. I will continue to work with Miss Mary for the SAT.

Mandy L. from Carbondale, Colorado

Knowledgeable and Helpful Tutor
We talked about lots of good strategies that will help me to be more time efficient on the SAT. After we set our goals, we went over the general test and tips for question answering. We also did some practices on past SAT problems. Mary is a very nice person and her test tactics are helpful.

Andréa U. from the Czech Republic

I am very glad that I can write something about Mary. I spent with Mary two months of my stay in Florida. My goal was to improve my communication skills and better understand native speakers. Mary recognized exactly what I need and how to help me with my goal. During our meeting we talked about all sorts of topics. I deepened my vocabulary for many, many new words. We were also working together on grammar and I have to say that Mary was able to explain to me everything perfectly clearly and logically for me (better than Czech teachers). Mary was perfectly prepared for our sessions with new materials, tests, vocabulary and many other things. It was a great pleasure for me to spend my time with her. The time with her was worthwhile for me and definitely was worth every single penny! On the end I would like to say that Mary is not only perfect teacher, she is also great person! I hope that we will continue together also in the future online or maybe again in person :-). Mary, thank you very much for everything! I will miss you!

Trish S. from Ellenton, Florida

Mary did an excellent job of preparing my student for her ACT and I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs additional academic support. It was a big relief to find someone with her knowledge, patience, and ability to encourage. She is also easy to reach, and was always on time.

Nisar M. from Lake Charles, Louisiana

[My son] is done with ACT. He got 33 and is waiting to get into the college of his choice this summer.

Celeste N. from New College, Pennsylvania

Mary is a fantastic tutor. She provides structure, leadership and encouragement. She continues to impress us. I love the homework assignments she gives to my daughter . . . Thanks Mary! Happy to report [my daughter] did improve her SAT scores! She was accepted at [school], her top choice!

Tim Z. from China, living in Wilmington, Delaware

Great writing tutor! I contacted Mary because I wanted some help on my college essays before I submit them. She was quick in her response and patient during tutoring sessions. She helped improve my essay structure, word choice, and syntax. She paid a great deal of attention to details. I already submitted most of my applications, and I felt very confident in the writing portion of them! To sum it up, Mary is the go-to person when you need help in writing!

Matej D. from the Czech Republic, living in Bradenton, Florida

Success with Miss Mary – Miss Mary tutored me in English and SSAT preparation for 2 months, 2 times a week this past fall. She taught me to review my work before going to the next question or assignment, revise my essay construction, and other things to help me succeed in school. I am so thankful to her because I was recently accepted to prep school in the northeast. She is a great teacher and tutor. Thank you Miss Mary!

Malatee R. from Atlanta, Georgia

Patient, understanding, and knowledgeable – My daughter had Mary for helping her in reading , vocabulary and writing. I noticed a tremendous amount of improvement in about 6 classes. She is good at making my daughter understand in her own pace and always encouraging and giving tasks to complete before the next class.

Raymond W. from Pittsburg, California

Amazing Tutor for ATI TEAS 6 English Section! Mary is here for you. She will examine your needs and make suggestions for your learning. I wanted to start right away but when she explained why taking a step by step process is critical, I then understood and was grateful! After one session, I am able to be more confident and apply my critical thinking skills so my scores are improving already. I have more sessions lined up and I cannot wait!

Amy D. from Brandon, Florida

Knowledgeable and patient. Mary has been wonderful for my daughter. She is everything she advertises. I would totally recommend her to anyone looking for help on the SAT. Her teachings cross over to daily comprehension and different subjects as well.

Colleen T. from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Mary was one of the most patient people I’ve worked with. Mary was very patient and taught me about how to understand what the TEAS questions may be asking me. She brought me back to the basics and helped me through some of my anxiety while studying.

Ryan D. from Midlothian, Virginia

Thank you so much for your help with my [college application] essays. As of today, I have been accepted to [two universities]. I hope many more acceptance letters are on the way. Without your help, my essays would not be as good as they were when I first wrote them. Thank you so much and God bless!

Erin K. from Melvin Village, New Hampshire

Knowledgeable and very patient tutor. Mary has taught me about independent and dependent clauses. She has also taught me the rules of
commas, semicolons, and colons. She makes all the lessons very understandable, and she is really good at explaining concepts.

Robert G. from Brazil living in Paris, France

Working with Miss Mary has gone beyond the scope of the SAT. Her lessons have helped expand my English vocabulary and improve my writing skills. Thank you Miss Mary!

Doug D. from San Diego, California

This is all it takes! I’ve let my son interface with Mary (English) and a different gent for math, not injecting myself. I overheard my son remarking (unsolicited) how good his tutors were. Comforting thing for a father to overhear.

Shakeria S. from Middle Island, New York

Amazing and very patient. In my first session with Mary she explain to me in details what I’m doing wrong and how to improve in those areas. What I like most about her is her patiences, just the first session and I’m understanding better of how to do really well on my TEAS. I would highly recommend her. Can’t wait for my next session with her.

Jennifer W. from Bradenton, Florida

Knowledgeable and patient. Mary is working with my son with reading and writing. She’s very patient and gives him instructions he can understand. Thank you for all of your help so far; he really enjoys his tutoring sessions.

Joe H. from Sarasota, Florida

Excellent tutor! Mary is knowledgeable and helpful . . . I am looking forward to my next lesson.

Douglas N. from Bradenton, Florida

Knowledgeable tutor. Mary taught me new ways to learn the vocabulary skills. She showed me some websites and mobile apps for learning my vocab easier and understandable. So far has been good and learning new things.

Stephanie L. from Bradenton, Florida

Mary was very knowledgeable and helped my son a great deal with a paper he is working on.

Aimee G. from the Netherlands

Very professional, knowledgeable and patient. I am very confident that with Mary’s help my son will improve his SAT score. She is a very knowledgeable, organized and pleasant tutor!

Robert E. from Parrish, Florida

Very intelligent and respectful. Gave me insight of what to come in the test and gave me strategies to find hints or clues within the passage and she told me what this test is really about and how to really view it with confidence.

Julian C. from Lakewood Ranch, Florida

Very nice and patient. Mary taught me to read the questions first and then read the text. She has some great tips. She also told me to answer all of the questions and not leave any of them blank on the ACT because I have a 25% chance of getting the ones I’m stumped on correct.

Sarah O. Palmetto, Florida

Great Tutor. 1st lesson and my daughter is excited to learn and looks forward to her next lesson already! Miss Mary is very patient and interacts well with my daughter.

Eva S. from the Czech Republic

Big thank you to Mary. I have to say that Mary is an excellent teacher. She is very patient, original etc. She is able to work with not easy kids. I really appreciate that she was teaching our daughter and would her recommend to everyone. She is adorable.

[My son] was accepted into RIT, his first choice college and early decision school, and also received the Presidents Merit scholarship. 

Daniella A. from Sparta, New Jersey

Very patient and inspiring tutor. With Ms. Mary’s help, I was able to bring my GPA up from a 2.8 to a 3.3 in just a short amount of time. She has been very patient with my bad habits and working through them. I have grown as a writer and a student. I look forward to every session!!

Sean S. from Kyrgyzstan, living in Tampa, Florida

Mary is a phenomenal tutor. Professional, thorough, and very effective. I have worked with Mary on multiple occasions now. She is always there for you, even in a short notice. Mary helped me work on my nursing college essay and shortly after, I was accepted to the program.
