“I can’t say enough good things about Brenden and Golden Tutoring! My 11th grader struggled in math last year and it was stressful for both of us. Working with Brenden has made math much more enjoyable! He never complains about his tutoring sessions. He is not struggling in his pre-cal class this year and his math grades have gone from Ds and Cs to Bs and As. We also appreciate that Brenden uses any extra time for SAT prep. Thank you!”
