Testimonials

 The organizational workshop was great for our boys. Our group was quite large (about 40+ kids) and M & M was able to keep their attention with the tasks and tips they provided. The boys also liked to play the organizational game. We certainly plan to have them back to make sure the boys stay on track and continue to do well in school.

 After only one session, my son is excited about being tutored. He called me immediately after his session to race about how well his tutor taught. His new found understanding has already been evidenced in his report from school today. The service has been a Godsend for my son and my patience. His tutor was able to identify his strengths and deficits and formulate a plan of study catered directly to my child. This is a tremendous service. I would recommend to all.

 “M & M Tutoring has helped my children tremendously. I have a middle school and high school student. Their math has improved as well as their confidence in their math abilities. I have been pleased with the thoroughness of Ms. Moody and Mrs. Hinton and the extra mile they go by contacting teachers to monitor my children's classroom/testing progress, and by providing extra assignments to ensure mastery of difficult math concepts. With M & M we can conquer common core math and advanced high school math courses!”

 ""Mrs. Hinton has made herself transparent in so many caring ways. She has truly made a difference in building a rapport with my son that he is so comfortable with her. She is on time and does not waste time. She gets right to tutoring, and communicates with me and his teacher. She is so supportive that the sessions are always positive towards him understanding first. She brings fun to Math and affectionately goes the extra mile. She goes beyond her efforts to show that one particular person can truly make a difference. I am so pleased with her effectiveness at every tutoring session. She is so professional and serious about her students. She's an excellent tutor!!!"

 "On behalf of my companies, we would like to sincerely thank M&M Educational Group for speaking at our first annual free College Preparation and Success Conference on Saturday November 14,2015! Our annual conference is designed to (1) share valuable information about preparing for college and being successful in college and beyond with underrepresented high school and college students and their families, and (2) create a space for networking, mentoring, and "lifting and climbing" amongst underrepresented peoples across the education continuum. During our first annual free conference, Mrs. Hinton and Ms. Moody graciously shared their experiences and lessons learned as both college graduates and educators. Their insights were very beneficial to our conference participants as they navigate their own paths toward college preparation, college success, and beyond. Thank you so much M&M Educational Group for speaking at our first annual free conference! We sincerely appreciate you sharing your time and talents with our participants, and we look forward to continued partnership to ensure the success of scholars of color across the lifespan!"

 Mr. Thompson was amazing! My son really understood the content when he was finished. I will definitely keep your service handy for future needs and will refer others! 

Ms. Lofton: Raleigh, NC

 M&M matched us with the perfect tutor. Mr Thompson was supportive and very knowledgeable about math. He helped my son with his homework and to prepare for the ACT. His directions were very clear as he walked through the problems step by step, and even recommended additional resources. I would highly recommend Mr Thompson and M&M. My son ended up with an A in the class. We will definitely request him again! 

Mrs. Jennette: Durham, NC

 Ms. Novotny has worked to connect with Isaiah and has gone above and beyond what we've expected by writing teachers and staff at Isaiah's school to address issues that will help him excel in his education! 

Mr. & Mrs. Strothers: Raleigh, NC

 I came to M&M desperate and totally intimidated by the GMAT. I left with a new confidence and an acceptance letter to business school. I can't express my gratitude enough for the time, attention, and expertise that I was privy to when I needed it most. Thank you! The field of education is truly blessed by M&M Educational Group. As a friend and business partner they have been invaluable to moving our project forward. Their professional yet personable manner is refreshing and a joy to be around.

 I just love Ms. Novotny!! I had a 15-year-old foster-to-adopt child in my home who deals with a lot of anxiety and was not doing well in his first year of high school. My husband and I spent the first half of last semester tearing our hair out trying to get him to do his homework, figuring out what his assignments were since he could never remember, and walking him through his school work. It was very stressful for us, considering the very pressurized transitional period we were in and are still going through at home. We were told the child did well in school before we brought him to our home, but clearly the standards were different or else he couldn't deal with school given the stress of moving in with a new family. Before we found M&M Tutoring, we were spending 1-2 hours every night walking him through his assignments. Ms. Novotny almost completely relieved the burden from us. She is truly a breath of fresh air. She never gets frustrated with him and is always patient and kind. She has provided organizational "assignments" that have helped greatly. She apparently has a knack for motivating him to come up with his own ideas. She's always willing to communicate with the teachers (and be persistent about it). My child started off with an F in his history class and ended up with a B, so that tells you all you need to know:) 

Mrs. Henderson: Durham, NC

 We enjoyed her (Mrs. LeMay)!! She's personable yet professional. She's dependable and stays in contact with me. She communicates about techniques that are working well and areas that need improvement. She makes the effort to connect with teachers for their feedback as well, even though often time teachers don't respond back to her. She encourages strengths and focuses on nourishing needs. She's flexible with our consistently revolving schedule which is a must have for my household. Regarding EOG results for my now 8th grader, my daughter performed with 3's on both Reading and Math. This 3 in Math for my daughter is very good considering she has difficulty with focus/attention in addition to applying previously learned concepts to current ones. My son who is entering the 5th grade this year made a 4 on Reading and a 5 in Math; those numbers speak for themselves. Needless to say Steven and I are looking forward to working with Ms. Yolanda this school year. She is a blessing to our family!! 

Mrs. Jackson: Raleigh, NC

 I love her (Ms. Wiggins) communication style and follow up. Everything is great. We really enjoy her and Cameron is doing well. 

Mrs. Winchester: Durham, NC

 School started today, and my son presented me with three syllabi to sign. Last year he could care less about his syllabi. Thanks to M&M and his other tutor, his attitude is totally different and he is ready to work. Thank you! 

Dr. McKibbins: Durham, NC

 I am pleased to say that I am beyond pleased with Nicole's work with Simone. Not only is she professional and serious about her work, but she is very pleasant and extremely likable. We are quite fond of her and we're grateful that she's working with us! Simone looks forward to her sessions, as do I. I [also] notice that she and Simone seem to have fun while working. 

Ms. Thomas: Cary, NC

 Taylor is fantastic and has connected with my daughter! She even did a 2-hour session on Labor Day! It was so funny... they didn't sit in our dining room like they usually do. No, instead they went to our play room and sprawled out on the floor!!! I wish I had snapped a picture! 

Mrs. Barnes: Raleigh, NC

 I was telling her [my daughter’s counselor] how impressed I was with what I have seen so far-professionalism, prompt return of calls and emails, and diverse tutors. Sharif is very pleasant and kind...and patient. 

Ms. Medley: Rolesville, NC

 I would love to keep Elyse...she is very flexible and we love her. We have worked with her over the summer and my daughter loves her teaching style which enables her to actually understand. I look forward to working with Elyse for the remainder of the semester. Thanks! 

Mrs. Powell: Durham, NC

 Everything with Ms. White is going great. I am very pleased with her & her sessions with Isaiah. Thank you very much for sending her our way. 

Mrs. Hinton: Garner, NC

 Daisha has conveyed to me that the sessions have been beneficial and that Mr. Doub breaks the information down in a manner she can understand. She felt her review session with Mr. Doub was very helpful. 

Ms. Robinson: Mentor/Counselor, Raleigh, NC

 ​I had a chance to just sit and listen from the outside of the room when Ms. Outlaw was working with Joy and Ezekiel. I was very pleased with what I heard; how she interacted with both of them, keeping them on point, helping them to see their errors, and setting expectations for both of them. This is what they need. It is also very important for her to communicate with us and she does that continuously. My only regret is the tutoring did not start sooner, but it's happening now and we will continue to move forward. Thank you for pairing them. 

Mrs. Holeman-Leak: Grandparent, Durham, NC

 ​Mr. Thompson has been such a great help with Abbey!!! AP calc is tough and his help has been instrumental!!
