The sales pitch was strong but we saw very little results. I could understand this but when I tried to address this and ask questions , I had ZERO response. Ghosted. I had to call and email several times to get on the schedule for our remaining classes. The Director has STILL yet to call me back but luckily the woman who schedules is trying her best. I'd suggest trying another route and will the next time.

No more meetings to give progress updates on how our kid was doing; no conversations about where she was making progress or where she was continuing to have challenges - just seemed to be focused on money. The one meeting that was scheduled with their new person, they didn't show up or have the courtesy to let us know. We sat there for 15 minutes before being told they wouldn't be in. That person also didn't personally call to apologize for missing the meeting (had someone else do it). The whole experience recently changed and it no longer feels collaborative.

He objectively evaluated our son's strengths and weaknesses, identified gaps--especially in quantitative skills--and worked closely with him to address those areas.

I could see how this place would be exciting for kids who enjoy math but from a concerned parent who just wants her child to be on level with the rest of her class this is awful. You need to ask about your child if you want to know about their progress . They lock you into $365 a month FOR A YEAR without any kind of trial period, and they tell you that it's for 10 sessions a month. BUT, if enough sessions arent even available in their calendar to add up to 10 in a month- they don't roll over sessions to the next month. I hope they can improve their communication and maybe corporate can make the contract that suits people of all financial backgrounds. Maybe a session punchcard? corporate also needs to improve the "progress report" they give to parents. It really isn't helpful and not great for knowing where they are at.

As a parent, I am grateful for such a positive experience and look forward to future lessons. In my experience, helping a child feel comfortable enough to make mistakes, take risks, and learn with a new teacher is half the battle, and they accomplished that on day one.

Going into college entrance exam season, it wasn't clear to me what would be the most effective and…read moreefficient way of arming my twin teenage sons with the comfort and skills that would allow them to choose the right test and to perform their best. Each has his own strengths and weaknesses, and their study and learning habits differ vastly. Once Steve met with us and reviewed their baseline untimed scores, he easily guided each of my sons to the test that would elicit the best results, and he confidently assured that tutoring them together would not only meet each boy's individual needs but would enhance each other's learning, by virtue of the group process. Indeed, Steve was exactly right. He helped my kids to put in perspective the importance of these tests and to set goals commensurate with their college choice aspirations. His teaching style elicits discipline and engagement, without instilling undue stress and worry. He's calm and steadfast in his claim that if a person is willing to put in the practice and study time and comes prepared to tutoring sessions, he or she can incrementally improve. He makes the goal score feel accessible, and this helped to keep both of my kids motivated, hard-working and hopeful. The three of them worked together for 24 hours, over 12 sessions, and utilized a variety of materials, including prep books, websites, and group meetings to get them ready for the test. He tracked their progress, keeping me updated throughout, and though he worked with them together, he tailored the lessons to each of my kids. Now that both boys have sat for their chosen test, it's abundantly clear that Steve assessed them accurately, and guided and taught them well. My sons each reached their goal scores, one improving 3 composite points (4 with super score), and the other improving 6 composite points, to do so. Needless to say, both of my kids are pleased with the outcome, as am I, and I suspect this will open doors at schools they might not have considered. From beginning to end, and especially as measured by the results, Steve successfully ushered my kids through what could easily have been a stressful and demoralizing process. He simply understands these tests and how to master them, and we couldn't be happier to have benefitted from his expertise.

My student was already doing well in Math and Reading, but yearned to improve in Science and English. Most other courses or tutors offered full on prep -- very costly and time-consuming. Steve assessed my student's specific needs and provided individualized coaching and resources to help her use her limited time wisely. After only two sessions (about 4 hours total) and some homework, my student's confidence was boosted. Beyond improving an already great composite score by 2 to 3 points overall, specific increases included 4 points improvement in English (from 32 to 36), and a whopping 5-point improvement in Science (31 to 36). Steve was meticulous, positive, and patient. He used a variety of materials, including websites, prep books, and lessons at my home. The resources he has to offer are up-to-date and not stale, which is important since the tests have changed over time. He kept detailed notes on my student's performance to help track improvement and keep me updated. Would definitely recommend.
