2023 ROADMAP SEMINAR
I enrolled my son in Dr. Smith's Class from September 2018. I have seen great improvement in his work and he has grown immensely in self confidence. Dr. Smith is very professional, helpful, kind and understanding. My son was successful in CXC & CAPE Unit 1, Biology & Chemistry, and now he is awaiting his CAPE Unit 2 results and I know he will be successful. I highly recommend Dr. Smith's Extra Time Tutoring!! Trust me on this one.
Dr. Smith possesses a great desire to teach and a determination to increase every student’s understanding of the topics in the curriculum. She is very professional inside the classroom, curating an environment that maximizes learning. Her compassionate and warm personality makes it easy to ask questions as she never makes any question seem too big or too small. She is always consistently respectful towards students.
My experience with Dr. Smith has been memorable, as she has been responsible and receptive as a tutor, allowing me to be a more confident student and no longer afraid to ask any question in a class atmosphere. Dr. Smith has been a core component of my successes in the CXC examinations by keeping every student up to par and disciplined, by aiding our learning experience rather than spoon feeding each student, for which I am so grateful.

My experience at Extra Time Tutoring has been worth it for the 3 years that I have enrolled. Dr. Smith has always maintained a high level of professionalism and she was always easy to approach in or out of the classroom. There was always an atmosphere of respect between her and her students and the environment was always kept and conditioned for learning. Dr. Smith has made me achieve my full potential and the grades speak for themselves.
"Finding ExtraTime was like stumbling upon a pot of gold." The lessons helped me build a complete understanding of the syllabus as well helping me to answer past paper questions at the end of each module." Dr. Smith showed great care for my needs based on her analysis and knowledge of each topic —that’s the beauty of ExtraTime."
As a parent, working with Dr. Smith over three years was a blessing. I felt confident that my daughter would be successful. I observed the changes in my daughter as she became more confident, focused, disciplined and motivated. Dr. Smith also guided me in order to assist my child. She is respectful, a motivator and a true professional. Overhearing some of the online lectures being discussed during this pandemic I have learnt a lot.
The class was very efficient and effective and engaging. The teacher was always prepared with her material and at the end of every lesson we would get coursework to complete by a certain time to ensure that the information we learned cemented and we would also start off class with quizzes to see what we remembered and understood from last class and what we need to brush up on. The marathons were also top tier as they really helped me with my exam
