Testimonials

"My daughter was so excited to take French in school, but after a semester of struggling she was frustrated and discouraged. Sarah's tutoring has not only brought my daughter's grades up significantly, but has reignited her love of learning the language." -Parent of a French Tutoring Student

"Madame Sarah makes me feel super comfortable during our sessions and is probably the nicest teacher ever! She helped me expand my French vocabulary and has a way to help me understand what she’s saying and also remember it. My grade in French has improved after our tutoring sessions started, and I’m not scared of going to French class anymore." -Maya, French 1 Tutoring Student

"Sarah is incredibly organized and works together with us to develop goals and helps keep my daughter on track with completing and turning in her assignments." -Parent of a French Tutoring Student


"Mrs. Birdsall-Kulick was a great influence in my development in the French language. Thanks to her instruction, I felt confident when taking the AP French exam and succeeded in earning college credit and the Illinois Seal of Biliteracy in French." -Cynthia, 2020 Graduate of University of Illinois

"As a first generation student, the college application process was overwhelming. I was unable to turn to family or peers for help when I didn't know how to decide what schools to look at, what the Common App was, or how my AP courses would supplement my application. But I did have Mrs. Birdsall-Kulick. She immediately pointed me to online resources and helped me to understand jargon-filled applications, as well as revising personal statements and scholarship applications. She was crucial in my ability to attend Illinois State University and be a part of a program that allowed my passions to flourish."  -Maritza, 2022 Graduate of Illinois State University

"Mrs. Birdsall-Kulick has a vast knowledge of the college admissions process. She helped me narrow down my college search based on what was right for me and offered insightful information for me to consider when making my final choices." -Cynthia, 2020 Graduate of University of Illinois
