Devonte C. Kindergarten/1st Handwriting, Reading Comprehension, and Math

“I wholeheartedly recommend Marisa as an exceptional tutor for my grandson, Devonte, during the 2022-2023 school year. Throughout their time working together, Marisa has consistently demonstrated a remarkable ability to connect with Devonte and foster his academic growth.

Marisa's teaching style is engaging and adaptable, allowing her to cater to Devonte's unique learning needs. She has a talent for breaking down complex concepts into manageable parts, ensuring that he not only understands the material but also gains confidence in his abilities. Her patience and encouragement have been instrumental in fostering a positive learning environment for him.

Moreover, Marisa's communication skills are outstanding. She provides regular updates on Devonte's progress and areas for improvement, keeping both him and our family informed. Her commitment to maintaining an open line of communication has made it easy for us to support Devonte's learning journey.

In addition to her academic expertise, Marisa is a compassionate and dedicated individual who genuinely cares about her students' success. She has gone above and beyond to create personalized lesson plans that not only align with Devonte's curriculum but also spark his interest in learning. I have no doubt that Marisa will continue to have a positive impact on her students. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a tutor and believe she would be an invaluable asset to any student she works with. ”

Jason E. 12th grade French, English, Math, and Organizational Assistance for a 100% Remote Student

“Marisa started helping my high school student a few years ago with French. When he needed help with English, she was ready to assist with that. Math, history and science were added when it was clear he needed help there as well.

With Marisa‘s patience, incredible organizational skills and ability to break each subject down into easily understood elements, my child is now graduating with A’s and B’s.

He wouldn’t be where he is now without her help. She has the knowledge and patience to make a difference for students. I highly recommend Marisa for any and all tutoring needs for your family.”

Landon I. 5th grade Creative Writing, Math, Homework Help

“My grandson Landon, was a nine year old student in the fifth grade gifted program. I looked into finding him a qualified tutor because I wanted to ensure he would make progress beyond grade level expectations in the gifted program. One day I met Marisa Rigot. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and could teach all core subjects. I knew she would be able to handle the challenge. She was a wonderful tutor. She provided stimulating learning, and encouraged him to always keep learning. Landon felt that she was fun, warm hearted, and flexible. She tutored Landon in math and writing weekly until the end of fifth grade. He is doing wonderful in middle school thanks to Marisa.”
