“We have been using Daniel recently for Algebra II, and our daughter Kelli really enjoys working with him. She has a big test on Friday and needs to make a good grade, so he is coming out of his way on Thursday night. Unfortunately, since I don't have a grasp on Algebra II, I am grateful for Cram Crew!”
