"I am frugal. I have to say that at first before talking about how much it was worth hiring Shuyinthia to help prepare my daughter for the SAT and ACT. And the results speak for themselves. She did well on both tests, particularly improving in math, and it was because of the wonderful tutoring she received. I knew this was right wen I could hear my daughter laughing during her tutoring sessions. She didn't dread them but looked forward to studying. What a wonderful experience it was working with Butterfly Works."
