My two daughters attended NYC public elementary, middle and high schools. Bee Tutored played a big…read morepart in the academic success of my girls, as neither my wife nor I were expert enough in mathematics and science to guide them through challenging patches. Over six or seven years, we've used an equal number of tutors. Owner Kate Pritchard was extremely responsive and did a good job matching my daughters' challenges with a tutor (usually college aged or recently graduated from college) who had absolute mastery of the subject. Only on one occasion did we ask for a rematch. Bee Tutored sent over a replacement tutor the following week -- and we continue to use him 16 months later for my daughter, a senior at Brooklyn Tech. We credit the work of Bee Tutored during middle school, along with SHSAT prep classes, with helping my youngest gain admission to one of the specialized high schools, Brooklyn Tech. Had the Bee Tutored tutoring center opened several years ago, we would have availed ourselves to their SAT and ACT college test prep, which our girls took at Kaplan. They found Kaplan sterile and uninspiring, not to mention disorganized. Test grades were often not posted on time and classes were canceled without advance notice. My oldest daughter saw no improvement in her score from PSAT to SAT, even after taking the Kaplan course twice. Bee Tutored is the antithesis of for-profit, corporate tutoring mills like Huntington, Sylvan, Kaplan and Princeton Review. Anytime I have wanted to speak with the owner, Kate, I reached her via email and phone. She takes pride in her business and the success of kids receiving tutoring from Bee Tutored. As a longtime customer of the business, I attended the open house for the new tutoring center and met the Scratch computer programming tutor and the SHSAT prep tutor. They were just like the young adults that have mentored my kids over the years -- bright, warm and eager to teach. I recommend Bee Tutored to any parent who doesn't have the time and/or skills to help his or her kid with homework and test prep. They've come through for me over many years and I have two smart, confident daughters to show for it.

Adam teaches the subject, makes it fun and is able to break things down into just the right size pieces, so my daughter feels challenged but not overwhelmed. He also is able to teach different solutions, helps kids see new ways, and meets them where they are. See you in the fall, Adam!

Brooklyn Math Tutors matched our daughter, a student at Stuyvesant High School, with a great tutor (an MIT grad) who not only knows math and science but also knows how to explain the topics and to connect with our daughter's learning style. In addition, Alexander Friedman, the founder of Brooklyn Math Tutors, truly cares about education and learning, and he has been a thoughtful partner in helping us think through and address the challenges of our daughter's rigorous STEM coursework. We recommend Brooklyn Math Tutors without reservation. Our only regret is that we did not discover Alex and Brooklyn Math Tutors earlier.

I started out not really enjoying the topic, but now I find much more interest math. I was very pleased with my tutor and she helped me improve and gain confidence in math and testing taking. This has been a great experience. Thanks.

Mrs. Amelkin tutored me back when I was studying for the SATs and applying to colleges. While I had…read moreno trouble with the math section, I had big room for improvement when it came to reading comprehension and my writing skills, and Mrs. Amelkin was the perfect teacher to get me to where I needed to be. We did many hands-on practice tests while I was there, and then focused on the areas I was struggling with. She is such a nice and patient tutor, I know for a fact my attention span isn't perfect and I'm prone to goofing off, but I left those sessions having learned a lot and they helped me perform very well on my standardized tests. Without them I probably wouldn't have been able to get into UC Berkeley (Go Bears)!

I never used a cleaning service before but when we had a baby it was just a luxury that really helped us. I never have to worry about anything, I get a text msg so I can communicate with my top-notch cleaner, Nicole B. if I need to tell her something. I've used them now for almost 4 years and in that time, we had 3 cleaners, on the rare occasion something has happened, they are able to switch on the go, with no lapse in service to me at all, and the cleaning is just as good. I really like my present cleaner Nicole B. for various reasons; she is a lovely person, she is reliable, she cleans well! But she also improvises; sometimes I run out of various supplies (thanks Covid) she adjusts no problem. The day she cleans is our favorite day. I've also used them for nanny searches etc and while I didn't end up hiring one from Apiari, the quality of the candidates was great. Overall, extremely happy and have never looked back.
