Ashley Boulet, who is the owner and founder of California Private Teachers, is one of those…read moreeducators you always dreamed your children would have. She's passionate. Energetic. Talented. Incredibly positive. And she radiates trust and comfort and knowledge -- which both her students and those families lucky enough to have experienced her placement services, immediately recognize. We worked with Ashley when we were looking for a home-school instructor for our 4th grader. Ashley spent lots of time with us to truly understand our unique circumstance and goals, and even provided guidance and feedback to help us fine-tune our education expectations. She has a wealth of knowledge and truly cares about her families and the students she is able to match with a teacher. During the time that she was working with us, she professionally screened several potential candidates, and only sent along resumes for those who passed her stringent and thorough vetting process. We absolutely loved working with Ashley, and would recommend her and her business to any parent or care giver who is considering private tutoring or alternative education for their children.
