“My daughter is a student at James An for just over a year and a half. Jason and Michelle are so patient with their studies and try to do their best to help achieve their goals. They genuinely care for the students by showing them ongoing support and always keeping the parents up to date on their child’s progress. The help from James An have boosted my daughter’s confidence especially in her school work. Thank you!”
