💬 Testimonials
⭐ “Above and Beyond!”
Parissa went above and beyond to ensure my child was prepared for the chemistry final. Even more shocking — she was able to win my child over and get them motivated to learn. She was overly prepared with her own PowerPoints and covered everything we needed. Outstanding tutor!

⭐ “Outstanding Chemistry Tutor”
Parissa was patient, organized, well-prepared, and thorough. She met my student at their level and moved through the material at an appropriate pace. Extensive knowledge of chemistry — highly recommend!

⭐ “Best Tutor So Far!”
Parissa helped my daughter prep for her APES final and was well prepared for the session. She reviewed concepts and FRQs to help my daughter pass her college board test. We’ll definitely be using Parissa again for AP exam prep!
