Testimonials

“Barbara Danielsen, the owner of New Leaves Tutoring, is fabulously in tune with the kids she tutors.

She is excellent with kids with learning differences—ASD, ADHD, undiagnosed challenge, and she’s a rock star of a coach for the ACT and SAT. She tutors live and online, so don’t let distance discourage you from reaching out to her.”

"You changed my son's life! You did more for him than tutor him in chemistry, geometry and ACT. You gave him confidence in himself. Now he wants to follow in your footsteps and be a teacher."

(mother of a high school student at graduation)

"You helped my daughter get organized, get her work in on time, and she found her calling in the senior year tech/high school program you recommended." (parent of a high school student)

"My son graduated with a 3.5 GPA and got in to all three university engineering departments he applied to! Thanks to your help throughout high school in math, english (essays), ACT, study skills and organization...." (parent of a high school student)

"Did you bring your highlighters? I love the way you use colors to show me the math concepts like you did in Geometry! It really helps." (student)

"I got a 1520 on the SAT!" (out of 1600) "Now I can get into U of M! My parents are pleased with my score improvement now that I've had your tutoring."

(This student had taken a large group class by a U of M doctor and was disappointed with his results from that)

"Tutoring with you really helped my ACT score! I raised my score from a 24 up to a 28 with just 6 hours of tutoring. My next goal is to hit a 30 on the next one." (student)

"I've never had a tutor before. This online SAT tutoring is great, very convenient, great strategies. I had no idea there were tricks to thinking things through."
