TESTIMONIALS
It’s important to make sure that your student gets the best tutor for their needs and that the experience is positive for both the tutor and the student to reach maximum benefit.
Here are just a few comments from our parents and tutors about Alter Tutoring:
Amanda is the most caring and wonderful tutor. We are so lucky to have been paired up with her. She has such a vested interest and is an amazing advocate for our son. She continues to partner with us to maximize his learning skills. It is amazing to see how much he has grown and blossomed since he has started learning with her. We can’t thank her enough!
I have been working as a tutor for Shana since I retired from BCPS a few years ago. She is a wonderful mentor for her tutors and if we need ideas, strategies, and or materials, Shana is always there to lend a hand. Your child will always see progress using one of Shana’s tutors.

My daughter came to Shana on a very low reading level and through many hours of work with Shana, my daughter is now able to read at a level that I’m very impressed with. Shana is wonderful with working with my daughter and teaching her the way that she needs to be taught on a personal and meaningful level.
Shana has worked with our family on and off for many years. Each of my children has had the opportunity to work with her, each one for different reasons and focused on different areas of study. Shana’s ability to teach in so many different disciplines has ensured her ability to really help all of my kids. The time and preparation that she puts into each lesson is evident and it guarantees progress and growth.

Alter Tutoring has afforded me the opportunity to help unlock the limitless potential of young minds in order to build upon their prior knowledge and extend their learning into the future. The academic and socio-emotional growth of my students builds confidence and motivation within them to allow for even greater successes. Through Alter Tutoring, I’ve been given the opportunity to offer support and structure to children who just need that little extra something that makes all the difference in the world.
Before Jane even came into our home to work with our middle schooler it was obvious that she was prepared. She copied me on the extensive emails between the teachers and herself. She even read the novel for the novel study that my son was required to read. His grade went up from a C to a B+ in 5 sessions. He felt confident and this carried over to his whole attitude towards school. I highly recommend Alter Tutoring.

Ben came into our home and immediately connected with my son. His breadth of knowledge and expert delivery quickly engaged my child and helped him clarify concepts that inhibited his participation in class. His grades shot up. I couldn’t be happier!
Shana Alter is a consummate professional who always has the just right tutor to match with a student in need. Shana and her tutors work collaboratively to bring out student strengths while working to remediate other necessary academic skills. Everyday I see students with more confidence and participation because of the one to one tutoring they receive through Alter Tutoring. It's a pleasure working with Shana and her team.
