“Margot tutored several of my Spanish students with great results. She offered excellent collaboration with the classroom teacher yet took initiative to design her own creative activities as well. Margot's superb organization, clear instruction, and positive feedback inspired students to success."

“The DesBois siblings are extraordinary - accomplished, grounded and incredibly kind people. The energy and enthusiasm they bring to the art of teaching is both contagious and effective. I cannot say enough about their breadth of knowledge, capacity for teaching, and their personal integrity.
My son benefited greatly from his time with Leo, who was consistently patient and yet challenging in his tutoring. Leo’s approach was to ‘go there' with my son as he learned new material, talking it out with him, processing information together, creatively and kindly. Leo taught him to think critically, to form good study skills, and most importantly, to believe in himself and his abilities. The positive effects of Leo’s influence continue to this day.”

“I was struggling with stats [college-level statistics], when I started tutoring with Leo, I developed a much better understanding of the contents of the class. I highly recommend anyone who needs a tutor to hire Leo. He not only has a great understanding of the material from my stats class, but also was very talented at teaching the concepts needed to understand the content. His ability to teach concepts and strategies helped me very much with stats.”

“The story of the Magi is an old one, but [Jack] DesBois’ unique and skillful approach makes it come alive in new ways. His voice is strong and true, his interaction with his audience brings those present skillfully into his tale, and his lovely music and singing voice touches chords at the deepest level."
