Patient PhD graduate from USC for tutoring K-12, college, & grad

Student G. from Glendale, CA Donna is very flexible and meets time deadlines. She communicates well which is a great quality. I could always depend on her for help.

Nicole N. from Monrovia, CA Donna is amazing! I have been working with her for almost a year as I struggle to complete an online statistics course. Donna is always patient, kind, respectful, and has never been late. She's extremely fair and honest, and very friendly. I would particularly recommend her for girls struggling with math, as it was personally a plus for me to not have to feel the pressure of working against the grain of an all-too-common math gender bias. She is very easygoing and calm, which is incredibly reassuring when you're stressed about understanding the material, or preparing for a test. I'd highly recommend Donna to anybody, as she's one of the best tutors I've ever had and I couldn't have survived my statistics course without her!

Benett R. from Sierra Madre, CA What can I say about Donna? She SAVED me from math! I can't recommend this woman enough. Totally punctual, professional, nice, concise, patient, clear, funny, and most of all extremely helpful! "Math people" can become easily frustrated, but Donna was always cool even when she had to explain a single concept to me multiple times. I had to take Intro Stats at UCLA to get into my bachelor program. It wasn't looking too good for me--I've always had a hard time with math. Donna and I crammed for a week before my final. I passed with a B! Had I worked with her the entire semester I may have gotten an A... That is saying a lot! I will definitely call on her for future math classes AND you should too! Thank you Donna!!!

Danielle M. from South Pasadena, CA Donna was my tutor for the math portion of the GRE. As an adult who has not studied math in years I appreciated her patience and her ability to really go backwards and look at things in a different way. She was able to realize there were areas I solidly grasped while there were areas we needed to truly begin from the beginning. She had great ideas on what I could to in our time apart in order to make more out of or time together and get me further along in a short time period. I strongly recommend Donna, she understands how to play to a student's strengths in order to build confidence and help them grow.

Hugh A. from Pasadena, CA Donna is an excellent tutor! I felt extremely privileged to have such an expert helping me sort my way through this course. Donna has her doctorate in Bio-statistics/Epidemiology, so there wasn't any question or topic that she could not answer. Donna was extremely patient and has a keen ability to explain complex concepts in a clear, understandable manner. Donna was responsive to my emails, extremely professional and always on time to our sessions. Donna was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Donna for any of your tutoring needs.

Jessica V. from Los Angeles, CA I can't begin to explain how incredibly helpful Donna is. I have always struggled with math, to the point where it caused anxiety. This was my second time taking Statistics, a course necessary for me to transfer to a university and I was struggling again. I found Donna on WyzAnt on Friday night and she was able to meet with me Sunday afternoon. Donna was always very flexible and responsive but what I appreciated the most was her patience. She would repeat the information over and over until I was comfortable. Donna was also able to present the information in a way that was easier to comprehend than the way the book presented it. At the beginning of the semester all I hoped for was a passing grade but with Donna's help I not only passed the class, my final grade was a B.

Julie S. from South Pasadena, CA Donna helped me to prepare for the math portion of the GRE. My natural ability for math is nonexistent, and I had not taken a math class in 30 years. Donna was extremely patient and explained math in a manner that I could understand. I always felt confident to ask any question, no matter how simple. Donna was always sure to acknowledge the mathematical concepts and skills I did know, and celebrated the ones I acquired. In short, she made me feel like a math rock star and I was pleased with my GRE math score! I appreciated that Donna was available, and always arrived on time. It was a pleasure to work with her and I give Donna my highest recommendation!
