"You always help others and you help us with whatever we need. You always get compliments on how good we are, but as I'm sure you know, it's all because you push us to be the best we can be! If you think about it, school is like a puzzle, and without you, it isn't complete!"

"Mrs. Marulanda showed me many traits that I will need to have when I grow up. She helped me grow my confidence and when I got into a situation, she encouraged me to keep trying and not give up. I always admired her fun enthusiasm and her spectacular sense of humor. She taught everyone to be loyal and kind and respectful to everyone even if they aren't being nice to you. I will always look up to her as my hero."

"Our family had the pleasure of working with Blythe for a little over 3 years. She helped to support our teenage son who was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. With patience and compassion, she met with him each week to help him get organized, review assignments, keep him on task and study for exams. Blythe also attended our son’s IEP meetings, worked with him to set and attain goals, kept him motivated and had consistent communication with his teachers. Our son looked to her as a second mom, and we truly believe she played an integral part of his successful completion of high school. She is passionate, kind and has unwavering integrity. We truly love Blythe and are so grateful for everything she did for our family."

“I highly recommend Blythe as a tutor! She is an amazing tutor that has helped my daughter grow a whole year in a few months. My daughter has a great relationship with Blythe and always enjoys her tutor time. Reading has been hard for her but after working with Blythe, my girl has blossomed in an area in which she struggled. I am so grateful for her commitment to my daughter! If you need a tutor, again, I highly recommend Learning Advantage Tutoring, LLC!”
