“Working with Steve has been one of the best decisions we made for our son's education. He is patient, knowledgeable and makes it fun, which is so important. It is not a repeat of school work or a homework helper. He truly knows HOW to teach, not just what to teach. Every Child learns differently, and Steve is able to truly assess what works best for your individual child. our son looks forward to seeing him every week, and looks at it as something fun to do - not extra work. That is so huge for us. Beyond just the teaching, Steve always talks to us after the session about how everything is going, and answers any questions we have and also addresses any general concerns that we have. His knowledge extends beyond just the teaching, he helps us communicate better with our child and also understand what our child uniquely needs to be successful in school, and also outside of school.”

“Mr. Paquin is one of those teachers you are fortunate enough to get once in your educational experience. He is very perceptive in identifying the needs of each child and creates a curriculum that is differentiated. He is also talented in dealing with children that are out of the box thinkers and gives them the space they need to explore their interests. Mr. Paquin is a genuine teacher that cares for each child and the children all respect him in turn. He is also a class act who is professional with impeccable manners and the children look up to him and want to model him. I am very fortunate that he got to teach my children and even though they all have different personalities and strengths, he was equally amazing with all of them. I would highly recommend Mr. Paquin for any educational services as he is immensely qualified and sure to be a huge asset to your child's learning. “

“Mr. Paquin worked extensively with our son during his 5th grade year, and it prove to be an outstanding experience. Our son had been struggling asa esult of some learning difficulties, and Mr. Paquin partnered with his teachers to better understand his challenges as well as advocate for his success. Our son made significant improvements and let us now that he really enjoyed working with Mr. Paquin. We believe that their interacations were exceptionally helpful. Mr. Paquin is great with kids and takes a vested interest in their classroom success. We would highly recomend Mr. Paqun as a tutor.”

“When Evah started kindergarten at Challenger School, she came from a different pre-school. It was hard for Evah to catch up on some of the things Challenger preschool kids had learned already. For Evah to keep up, it was recommended to us to hire a tutor a few hours a week so she could get the attention and care she needed to catch up to the Challenger programming. We first had an outside tutor we found and barely saw any results. After about two months, we asked her teachers to refer us someone that was more familiar with the Challenger program. We were connected with a wonderful Challenger educator from a different facility. This was Steven M. Paquin. After Mr. Paquin started with Evah, we noticed immediately that she improved, and she became eager to learn. We used Mr. Paquin continuously throughout the year. Evah caught up fairly soon. It was great having someone around that could not only coach our kid but also help us understand how kids learn at Challenger School. We could not have gotten a better recommendation by her educators.
Evah is in first grade now, and in our opinion due to the efforts of Mr. Paquin, she has no issues keeping up. She loves school. She loves to learn. She loves all her educators and Mr. Paquin. We greatly appreciated the time Mr. Paquin took, his punctuality, communication, and all the extra time he spent with us educating us as parents. We feel both Evah and us are better prepared than ever.
Thank you Steven M. Paquin for giving our kid the passion to learn.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Mr. Paquin this summer for our Second Grader and Kindergartener. Mr. Paquin is incredibly patient and engaging. He tailored lessons to each child's learning style and made the sessions fun and productive. Both kids showed significant improvement and they looked forward to their time with Mr. Paquin each week. We highly recommend his services for anyone looking to enhance their child's educational journey.”

“It was really important for me to give my daughter Miel an easier start in Kindergarten at an English school, and reading is something very important to me and her. In the beginning, she was not very strong with letters and sounds. She did not read at all, but now she is in an amazing place because of Mr. Paquin's amazing work.
Miel was in an afterschool phonics and reading program with Mr. Paquin. She really liked his lessons. She would always come home from each class with lots of new English knowledge, and I got a lot of recommendations about him from other parents. So, I hired him to help my daughter read English. He is the best teacher.
Miel learned everything about reading from Mr. Paquin. He helped her read, spell, and even correct her spelling mistakes. I was amazed to see how she was reading by herself so quickly. After a couple lessons, I heard her reading out signs as we drove around.
Miel received private lessons from Mr. Paquin twice a week. She is reading and spelling by herself. She knows more than many of her classmates. Now, I am so calm and peaceful about the beginning of kindergarten for Miel at an English school. She is so ready to read, she is going to have a fresh and easy start. I am proud of her and very happy. I made the right decision hiring Mr. Paquin as a private tutor. He did an amazing job helping my daughter. He changed her life.”

“Mr. Paquin was an exceptional tutor to our 5 year old twins. Mr. Paquin had creative and structured strategies to teach letter recognition, consonant and vowel sounds, and early literacy. Our twins always enjoyed our lessons with him, even after a long day at school. Mr. Paquin played a key role providing the foundation needed for my twins to feel confident going into Kindergarten.”

"Mr. Paquin taught our son in fourth grade and our daughter in third grade. They do not have the same learning styles, and Mr. Paquin expertly differentiated the instruction to what each child needed. Over the summer, Mr. Paquin tutored our daughter to improve her grammar and writing skills. She looked forward to every lesson and her writing improved exponentially. We love Mr. Paquin!"
