"When Isabella started tutoring Alec, his marks improved and became consistently strong.

Isabella's personality gives her the ability to make tutoring fun, which is what kept Alec engaged and shifted his negative attitude.

Isabella was always in tune when Alec needed extra support & guidance too.

Isabella and the TMC team talk and share with students on a level that is comfortable and engaging."

-Maria Da Silva, mother of Alec Da Silva (CBC class of 2015).
