Crystal from Florahome, FL
We have labs available for Math, English and Writing. There are also tutors for just about every subject you need help in. All my teachers give me my work ahead of time so that if I have any questions about anything I can speak to them personally and they can help me out.
Genesis from Gainesville, FL
The professors here are really nice and know how to keep their students interested in their subject! Most students get really good grades because the professors are so energetic and willing to teach.
