SUCCESS STORIES

“ Please feel free to use me as a parent reference. Daniel was such a great combination of challenge and support for Henry. Henry enjoyed the time he spent with him and never experienced their work together as a burden. I think he actually looked forward to it. ”

~ Marie, mother of an ISEE student

“ I just wanted to say thank you sooooo much to you and especially for Emily! When we first stared back in May I knew Johnny needed help but I also knew that he had it somewhere in him and you picked the perfect tutor for him.

Not only has Emily taught him new math and ELA skills but she also helped build his confidence in himself and his abilities. Many times he has come home from school excited and happy that what he is doing in school now Emily already taught him and expanded and explained it further than what they do in his class!

So no matter what (although I hope and we think he will do great) score he gets on the SHSAT he has learned and grown, and this he will carry with him beyond just taking the SHSAT. ”

~ Susan H., mother of an SHSAT student

“ Daniel was great to work with. He was very organized and pinpointed exactly what Kate needed to study. I think she really appreciated his calm, methodical manner and his encouragement. Overall, it was an easy process considering the distance and time constraints! Thank you. ”

“ I really wanted you to know that Alexandra said that studying with you was the best thing that she ever could have done, as it gave her the confidence she needed to approach things she never would have attempted before. She will always be grateful to you for your guidance and support. You were especially helpful with the scholarship exam preparation.
Any student is lucky to have you for a tutor. ”

“ I'm very happy with [my SAT] results. I thank you for both tutoring me and encouraging me to take another. I really could not have done this without you, thank you very much. ”

“ There are major benefits to using the right tutor for an AP Spanish exam. My daughter was able to discuss with Meehan different challenges throughout the various portions of the AP Spanish exam, especially the oral portion and Meehan has been especially helpful in discussing techniques to quell nervousness and a student's ability to "psych" themselves into a state of nerves which can affect things on test day. It's beneficial when an older girl can speak to a younger girl as a mentor regarding these things, rather than a parent. ”

~ mother of a 12th-grader

“ Sarah has been very instrumental in making my daughter more confident and successful in math. I'm hoping that she can use that newly found confidence to work out the challenges ahead more independently. ”

~ mother of a 5th-grader

“ My daughter thought Cara was fantastic -- fun, patient and extremely insightful and well-informed about some rather arcane matters. It was almost like we had dialed 1-800-G-E-N-I-U-S! She diagnosed the problem, creatively problem-solved, then guided my daughter toward working out a strong outline. G. was so relieved and happy excited to have been led out of the basement, so to speak, so we most definitely give Cara a double thumbs up. Plus, we truly appreciated her flexibility in coming over the very same day we called. 100% satisfied!!! ”
