Experienced tutor in Mathematics in Winston-Salem, Dorothy offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Dorothy has been an incredible tutor for my daughter over the past several years, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Thanks to Dorothy’s patience, consistency, and engaging teaching style, my daughter has not only remained ahead of grade level in many areas but has also gained confidence in subjects where she needed extra support. This year, my daughter earned Level 5 scores on all of her North Carolina End-of-Grade (EOG) assessments, and I truly believe Dorothy’s guidance and dedication played a significant role in that success. Dorothy has a wonderful ability to explain concepts in a way that children understand while keeping them focused and engaged throughout each session. She is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in her students’ success. Whether you’re looking for ongoing academic enrichment or targeted support in specific subjects, I highly recommend Dorothy. We are so grateful for the positive impact she has had on our daughter’s education.

Their ability to make learning engaging while building confidence has had a lasting impact. Thanks to their consistent support, guidance, and high expectations, our daughter has maintained Level 5 scores on her EOGs for the past three years. Beyond the academic success, we’ve seen tremendous growth in her critical thinking, study habits, and love for learning. We highly recommend them to any family looking for a tutor who truly cares about their students’ success and long-term development.

They are amazing, and flexible. My son has grown so much this school year because of them.

Working with NCWS has been an incredible support for both me and my daughter. As a college student working toward nursing degree, I’ve personally benefited from her patience and clear teaching style. She explains things in a way that truly sticks.

My daughter has worked with her from first and is now in the sixth and the growth has been amazing. Now in sixth grade, she’s making honor roll and feels much more confident in her abilities.

We’re both so grateful for her dedication, encouragement, and consistency. I highly recommend NCWS to anyone looking for a tutor who genuinely makes a difference.

Our experience working with NCWS has been nothing short of amazing. Mrs Nesmith is definitely in her calling working with/assisting individuals reach their maximum potential academically. She recognizes each child's needs, challenges and believes in them while encouraging them to believe in themselves and their capabilities. She has played a huge part of my grandson success throughout his school years , she is informative, professional and a part of our family forever and I might add she has never missed a graduation. She is passionate about her work and is a true blessing for anyone she crosses paths with.

What struck me the most about working with Nesmith Community Writing Services was their care. Knowledgeable, patient & passionate about helping others!

It gave additional assistance where needed. Improved my son's grades. More than just a tutoring program, they care about the individuals.

Enjoyed working with the staff and helping students reach their goals! Looking forward to volunteering for the upcoming school year.

Dorothy is phenomenal. Daughter loves her and gave my daughter such encouragement. Had been working with Dorothy for three years. Would highly recommend her.

They are very in tune with the child’s need and will make sure that the child understands before session ends. My 2 girls has been with this company since Elementary school with one graduating this year with honors in her class and getting the president award for maintaining a gpa of over 4.0 , my other child is in honor classes and is doing great. So yes I would recommend this tutoring company.Thank you

I’ve had the pleasure of working with the agency for over 4 years. I’ve used the services for two children and I can testify that they are more confident and catching up academically in Math and Reading. I enjoy the flexibility of virtual and/or in person. Along with the feedback and recommendations after every session.

She was always willing to work with my son, through any kind of situation. She cares and no any subject too work with, she had patience with my son also. Glad she was able to put her influence on my son

Her patients

Seeing the growth my son has accomplished in school is definitely accredited to Mrs Peaches with the NCWS and his willingness to do better in school. He definitely was impressed with Mrs Peaches from our initial meeting and they have blossomed into a great teacher/student relationship.

Highly recommend Nesmith Community Writing Services! Fantastic service for tutoring, and SAT prep.

ACT Readiness! When my mom mentioned getting me a tutor, I was pretty nonchalant. Once I began my one-on-one tutoring with NCWS, my confidence in my ability to perform academically increased. I was able to maintain a "B" average in all of my high school classes, which allowed me to take college courses. Additionally, the most exciting thing for me was when I received my exceptional ACT results.

My name is Stephanie Sumner-Abass, mother of Malaki Petty-Sumner and Essence Sumner both of which had the most amazing opportunity utilizing tutoring services through NCWS. We moved to Winston Salem in 2014 in expectation of new opportunities for growth and development in various areas of our lives. Upon settling into the city of innovation and opportunities I found that my children were having some difficulty settling into their new schools. Malaki had recently transitioned from home school to public school. After successfully completing 1st grade home school there was a decline in his grades upon entering the neighborhood title 1 school system. Essence experienced a setback due to the sudden move as a middle school student when she had to leave friends and begin new friendships. Educational development was of the upmost importance. I was later introduced to Dorothy Nesmith-Austin through a co-worker. Essence was able to work personally with Dorothy, developing one of the most influential relationships in Winston that would help her to succeed academically and socially while maintaining a 3.7 GPA throughout her high school career. Malaki is an avid reader and has the potential to be great in anything that he puts his mind to. I became worried when I noticed that he was no longer interested in school or reading his favorite books. There were many different obstacles that caused a decline so I wanted to act quickly and choosing NCWS was the best decision I made for Malaki during that time. Malaki started working with Dorothy in 2015 during his second grade school year. At the time, Malaki who tested above average for reading in his 2013-2014 school year in first grade was now struggling with testing, comprehension and overall concentration for reading and math due to various components in his transition. Through Dorothy’s diligence, patience, and commitment to see Malaki succeed, he is now a B student in reading. He has the potential to be an AB student overall and I believe that he will accomplish that goal with continued partnership with NCWS. During the first quarter 2017-2018 sixth grade school year he was only 2 points away from making the AB honor roll. Although there are areas for improvement with math and his testing ability, Malaki is making progress and we are so appreciative for the hard work and consistency that NCWS tutoring service provides. We are looking forward to continuing growth and success with Dorothy and we are expecting great results for his remaining middle school career leading up to high school and beyond.

Thank you so much for all of your help and support. My family will be forever grateful for your services and commitment to their success.

My name is Hailee Walker and I have had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Dorothy for a little over a year. Not only has she help me reach my goals on the SAT and ACT, she has also influenced me into tutoring other students and helping them learn! While I was receiving tutoring sessions with Mrs. Dorothy, she was very flexible, patient, and always had strong communication with me. I loved learning from her and she made the skills seem easy, which in return made me learn them quicker. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

NCWS has been such a blessing in aiding my daughter with her learning and education over the past 4 years. Not only has this been a great resource for my child's development, but NCWS has also assisted us with resources to aid in supporting outside educational opportunities that help with scholarships and career development, placing her on a path to success. We can't thank NCWS enough, and are grateful to be connected to such an awesome program for the youth.
