    This is one of those places where if you pay a lot they'll help your kid cheat. It's a get them the grade, not teach them environment.

    Aptitude Academics was a great resource for my daughter. She was able to get the physics tutoring she needed to get an A in the class!

    High Performance Tutoring has helped me so much. I was really struggling in a college course, the…read moreprofessor is not at all helpful, and I didn't know anyone that could help me. Once I was put in touch with High Performance Tutoring, I had an appointment with Victor that same week. Victor has been amazing. He helps walk through my homework with me in a way that makes sense. I would be completely lost without him, and would definitely be failing if it weren't for him. I have high hopes that I will pass the class, whereas I probably would have dropped it if I hadn't found Victor. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it because the tutoring has saved me and continues to help me every week.

    I would have failed my summer Finance and Accounting classes without Victor's support. I could not…read morefind any tutoring through the U of U and I was getting desperate. His academic skills, conceptual understanding, and people skills were just the life safer I needed to get through my summer classes. He helped me conceptually and also guided me in the actual doing of my assignments. Yelping tutors and finding High Performance Tutoring and Victor is one of the smartest moves I've made to support my academic career thus far. I strongly encourage you to contact High Performance Tutoring for any academic support you might need.

    We have had a great experience at Tutoring House for two years. They have been able to help with…read moreeach issue we have needed help with. Our son looks forward to every session.

    Very disappointed with The Tutoring House. I'm new to the path of needing tutoring. Finally…read moresurpassed certain hurdles and branching out to find a 1 on 1 tutor for my child. A document provided to me included The Tutoring House on a list of tutors (supplier of document notated they don't endorsed any tutor on the list and rightfully so) but I reached out to them and others. I would not recommend The Tutoring House at all, not even in worst case scenarios. As stated previously, I am still early on in my journey and sharing my experience to hopefully help someone else in a similar situation. Multiple years of reading difficulties with promises after promises. School systems seem to struggle with the volume and hard to keep up with demands. Reading clinic wait lists, official tests to provide an official diagnosis have an 18 plus month wait list and many don't take insurance and are over $3k. Everything is expensive and I'm not a wealthy individual. Reading is important and cannot keep on this same slow and lacking path. In my attempts to navigate the waters and continue to advocate for my child, decision was made to get a private tutor as we wait. The Tutoring House does NOT have a good business model and is NOT invested in the students. Before I dive too deep, I did disclose to them my child is female and they still called her a male. Fail one on The Tutoring House. Tip, listen and take notes people... Now diving deep, I do believe the relationship between student and teacher/tutor should be strong for a fruitful learning experience. Time lines are different for all but in speaking with other parents with similar stories to mine, this relationship could span a decade. I was able to get a mutual time scheduled with a tutor. I had questions upfront, who doesn't? I received some answers to my questions but not to all, and of the answered ones they were incredibly vague at best. Fail two on The Tutoring House. Continued along anyway, and asked if the initial visit was free or discounted as they (child/teacher) have to meet first. True colors showed as they canceled my appointment shortly after the question raised, and canceled via a text. I won't put verbatim the response but they threw a reasons that they pay their teachers and wouldn't discount their (the teachers) pay and are canceling me/my child. Fail three The Tutoring House. What business model doesn't have some overhead expenses and confidence in their methods and staff to cut a deal on the first visit? For $65/hour with a two times a week commitment I would expect more professionalism. People have questions, parents have concerns, not everyone meshes with everyone. This is an investment financially but also an investment in time. And, again, not a wealthy individual. I would hope to the Lord almighty they pay their teachers their agreed upon salaries. Heavens. But I would expect that they work with parents and students better. 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, even 25% off the first visit should not impact their bottom line. Now, I do not know what the staff gets paid but I'm fairly confident it's not $65/hour. They seek money over all, money over empowering children to excel and I'm incredibly disappointed. Cost breakdown for my one child 》》》 $563/month for a year - at least, is what I was expecting to pay, is over $6,700 a year for one teacher for one hour. Many children exist and don't know the percentage that need tutoring but imagine it's significant. Now... back to one child, one teacher, for one hour for two times a week. That child advances each year and schoolwork becomes more challenging, that tutor/child relationship could grow well beyond a year and consider inflation on top of that. What a stupid business model to dismiss me upfront for asking for a discount on the first, initial, get-to-know you/intro session. Flipping views... respond to the inquiry with a "No, unfortunately we do not offer free or discounted visits but are ... blah blah, blah" I selfishly deleted a kind and professional response within this review as I do not want to give them any great blurb to use for themselves because they don't deserve it. Mind blown and cannot comprehend this experience. Three strikes you're out, The Tutoring House!

    Beware of this organization. $3600 was a steep fee but we fell for the offer. Have come to learn…read morethat you don't necessarily need them and if you do want a service, there are many that are far more reasonable. But the worst is that they wouldn't listen to my daughters desire to attend a Christian College that would support her desire to be among a body of Christ Followers and seek to serve her God in whatever area that her gifts and talents might uncover. When they told her that her choices of colleges that we had visited were not a good choice for her because she didn't have the grades to get a lot of merit money and gave her a list of colleges, that after reviewing their websites, turned out not to be Christian Colleges, and their not paying attention to her priorities and desires. The husband that is a "hard sell" and turned off my husband from the beginning (I should have listened to his intuition) called and left a horrific voice message on my phone accusing my daughter of "not listening" and "going her own way". What a terrible way to talk to us. My daughter kindly wrote an email thanking Lana for her suggestions and tried to offer better insight into what she was looking for restating what we had already let them know was the criteria for college applications. My daughter (and I agreed) didn't want to work with them after they never apologized for the horrible voice message and we offered to pay them for what service they provided up till that time and to please reimburse us a fair portion of what we had prepaid when she was a sophmore. They spoke with us once and after finding out what we wanted refused to call us back (although promises were made) and wouldn't reply to any correspondence made by my husband or I. Don't be fooled, you can get merit money without their assistance and there are other companies that are way less expensive. And spread the word to beware of Lana and Bill Wally. They are nice when they are asking for your money but if you don't agree on something they won't hesitate to have all ethical practices fly out the door.

    Terrible organization. I was admitted to second rate schools with a very high SAT score (2200+) and…read moreGPA (4.21) from a top-ranked high school. I was among the top 5% of my graduating class. They asked me to apply to schools much below my caliber, where I was clearly a candidate for colleges like Ivy leagues. Bill and Lana Wally have no professionalism. Bill Wally shouted at me over the phone because I was asking the essay-reader for too much feedback. The essay-reader furthermore does not help whatsoever--she is unable to provide help for churning out essay ideas, and just rearranges sentences, some even grammatically incorrect! My own mother, an English teacher, shook her head at the edits. Their conditions also change dramatically--they first guarantee that they'll help any siblings free of charge, and will help you with graduate admissions also free of charge. However, when the time came for my own sibling to apply, they denied help, saying they needed you to refer them to other customers. Terms and conditions are not steadfast in his organization. My younger sibling with similar SAT scores and GPA, was admitted to drastically better schools without any help! No help is better than Aid 101 with Bill and Lana Wally. I was admitted in engineering to UC Berkeley, and attended the school. This school is ranked higher than even MIT and Stanford in some engineering disciplines, suggesting that Aid 101 did NOT help in achieving results in the private school sector. Run away!

    Veritas Prep On Demand (online self-paced) Review: I only…read morehad about 2 months before taking the GMAT for the first time and was looking for a quality course with the flexibility to study on my own schedule. I put in about 3 hours a day for 2 months, taking a break for Thanksgiving and the week leading up to my test. Before the course I took an official GMAC practice test and two days later took a Veritas practice test that ended up 60 points lower. During the course, I slowly improved and my 3rd and last practice test with Veritas matched my original GMAC practice test. Most students score within about 30 points of their highest score, and I felt that would be the case as I was taking the test. To my surprise, I actually improved another 60 points over my prior best score (+120 from my first Veritas practice test), landing me comfortably in the middle of Top 10 school scores. While I haven't taken another course to compare it to, including their classroom option, Veritas Prep On Demand was everything I was hoping for. In fact, I passed up another classroom course a friend was taking that was half the price because of what Veritas offers. It was flexible: I could take it at 5 a.m. or midnight, for 10 minutes or 6 hours. It was digital: I felt like it was as close to the actual test experience as possible. It was highly rated on Beat the GMAT and GMAT Club forums. I also loved the year of access just in case the score hadn't turned out as I hope. But it did! I hesitated at first because of the price being higher than almost any other program I looked at, but being on the other side now, it was worth it for me!
