"Math was always an easy subject for our children … until AP PreCalc. When starting with Lindsey, our child had lost all confidence in understanding the subject. By the end of the semester, Lindsey had not only provided an understanding of the subject (with grades that matched that understanding) but even more important, re-instilled our child’s confidence. Lindsey is empathetic, meets each student where needed and truly cares about their school success and mental wellbeing. We are so grateful to have found Lindsey and highly recommend her for math tutoring."

"Lindsey Caruso has helped my children, not only with their math skills, but also (and possibly most importantly) with their level of confidence in math. My daughters have never loved math, but they love working with Lindsey. She has lessened their very real test anxiety and unlocked their fixed mindset around math so that they KNOW they can do it now. They understand so many more mathematical concepts, and they approach new concepts with a more positive, growth mindset now. I HIGHLY recommend Lindsey for any tutoring needs!"

"I have been so impressed with Lindsey and the way she can help my son truly understand math in a way no one else can and he actually looks forward to his tutoring session. She is so kind, patient and understanding. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend Lindsey!"..."Lindsey teaches in a way that is so easy to understand and makes math make sense. I have been working with Lindsey for 4 years and she has helped me so much with understanding and comprehension of each math class I have taken. Thank you Lindsey!"

"When Lindsey tutors me, she does a great job. She keeps things fresh and fun. With her help, my grades have improved and I am able to help other students who are struggling. She is kind and respectful, and while we have fun, she stays professional and teaches me what I need. Thank you so much, Lindsey!"

"Lindsey has been such a gift! Having a child who learns differently is difficult on its own but when they fall behind it becomes even harder. He has made great strides since beginning with her and I see so much more confidence in his abilities. Finding a tutor who is not only willing to find the way that works for him but also not judge where he is at has been so helpful to us. She truly sees him and works very hard to find any way to access his learning switch. We couldn’t be happier with her math services!"

"Lindsey is not only an incredible math teacher - she’s an extraordinary human being. My son had the chance to work with her during 4th grade and enjoyed it so much that he asked to continue learning with her over the summer. Her approach gives him the time and space to really process math concepts in a way that works for him - something that’s hard to find in a traditional classroom setting. Lindsey takes the time to understand how his brain works, validates his thinking, and helps him recognize that he often has the right answers - he just arrives at them in his own way. Working with her has given him a huge boost in confidence and a deeper love for learning."

"In the 7-8 months that our son Alex has been having once-a-week tutoring sessions with Lindsey Caruso, we have seen remarkable improvement. When Lindsey first started tutoring him he was still struggling with some of the basics from 4th and 5th grade math. With Lindsey's help, he quickly gained more confidence in his math skills as he mastered those basics. Since Lindsey also subs in our schools she is familiar with all the methods currently being taught and has guided our son through them. This has been particularly helpful since many of these methods were new to mom and dad as well. She even took the time to assist him in better organizing his school notebook so it became a more useful tool for him in all his 6th grade classes. Lindsey keeps her lessons fun while also making sure that progress is being made. She keeps Alex engaged and willing to take time away from his other extracurricular activities without complaint. We have really appreciated Lindsey's approach which not only helps our son achieve better math skills but helps him navigate the current methods employed in school lessons. Rather than teaching by root, she tailors every lesson to his needs. We feel lucky to have found such a wonderful tutor who approaches what she is doing with such a passion. Since she loves and excels at math her inner math nerd connects with Alex's math strengths and guides him to make them stronger. We believe that these tutoring sessions with Lindsey have not only made Alex a better math student but significantly helped with his transition into middle school."

"Our son was in a dark place with math, and we truly believe Lindsey was the superhero he needed. After working with her this school year, our son has a light in his eyes when math is involved, something we hadn’t seen before. He not only understands the material now, he enjoys it. Lindsey did more than teach him math, she boosted his self-esteem, awakened his consciousness, and helped him believe in himself. We’re so grateful to have found her, and he’ll be continuing tutoring sessions throughout the summer. Lindsey, you are AMAZING!"

"We have seen tremendous progress since our 6th grader started working with Lindsey. In just a few months he has gained confidence, is participating more in class, and is back on track with his peers. His math teacher even called this week to congratulate him on his outstanding progess! Lindsey has been a wonderful tutor and advocate for our son and we are so grateful we found her!"

"Lindsey is a truly gifted teacher. One of those unicorn teachers who gets kids with learning differences. My 14 year old son experiences Autism and ADHD and traditional schooling has been fairly traumatic for him. Working with Lindsey has helped him learn how to learn. Lindsey has the skills and teaching experience to engage her students in exciting ways and find out what truly works for them. For instance she discovered he often works in 12's, rather than telling him that is not the right way to do it, she told him, that it’s a neat way of doing things and there are also other strategies that might be more efficient, giving him the option to choose which method he would like to use. We started working with her when my son was in 6th grade in the public school setting. He got more in his one hour sessions with her than he did all week. Half way through 7th grade we transitioned to an assisted homeschool program and Lindsey has taken a much larger role in our life, I can’t say enough about what a great teacher she has been for my son. She truly understands the way his brain works and how to help him unlock his academics."

"My kid used to have high anxiety about math and thought she wasn’t intelligent enough to get it. She could do everything correctly when I worked with her at home after school. Despite getting to the right answer, my ways around it, she was told, were not what her teacher wanted to see. I have met many parents facing that situation. Lindsey is so up to date with all that, ahead of the curve, that she quickly understood both how my kid's mind works, AND how to present the current material in a way that is easily digestible and enjoyable. My kid grew confidence in herself, felt safe and calmer because of having someone solid to help her if needed. She started loving math because she was good at it, and overall just looking forward to being with Lindsey. Lindsey is such a contagious role model of empowerment, motivation, and kindness. I have already recommended her to friends and will continue to do so. Now my kid is a freshman in high school, we are looking forward to continuing adding her to our schedule as my girl looks forward to these meetings."
