Customer Reviews

Reviewers who don't read!

It's fascinating how many reviewers bash the author saying she's not a teacher. Didn't they read "about the author" or the acknowledgements? She was definitely a teacher. If reviewers want to write about the author, they should research first or just read the aforementioned articles! Sandy

Great book for those wanting to start a tutoring business

This is indeed a handy book to read on tutoring because it not only starts from Mrs. Shapiro's very first client (she tells you of how anxious she was, she describes the client, explains what she did to help him out, and eventually the successful little boy he became) but it continues to cover what she did over the years (the changes, improvements, the "what to do AND what not to do" etc) up until the present. It helped me to look at her tutoring tactics from a big picture point of view since she spans over 27 years of tutoring in her concise book. I highly recommend it. Informative and helpful.

Just what I was looking for!

When my daughter was born, I knew I wanted to stay home with her. Since my main work experience was in education, I figured tutoring would be the best home-based business for me. This book confirmed my feelings and also made me think about things I hadn't yet thought of. It was very helpful and well written!

A highly informative while enjoyable book!

I not only have read this book but spoken with the author. I have learned so much tutoring itself and feel good about starting a business tutoring out of my home.Everyone who wants to start tutoring should read this book.
