I have had some great teachers and help when I as there but math was a big struggle. No one quite knew how to help me and so I had to re-take math over the summer last year and that teacher was very helpful and accommodating.

I am a freshman student at Gem Prep. Overall, I am really enjoying my experience. The flexible schedule is really nice and lets me not stress. The teachers are also really sweet and understanding. They respond quickly to emails. You do have to be a self motivated student though because it is easy to slack off and forget about your work.
