We found the tutor through word of mouth. The tutor is 25 years old and substitutes at Sidwell Friends and Beauvoir. We are having a great experiance thus far.

It is more expensive in Potomac and Fairfax because their are good tutors and wealthy parents who can afford it.

Do you recommend this Chemistry tutor?
