My daughter just finished her Freshman year at American University and it has been an excellent fit for her. The only thing I did to help her with her college prep and research was sign her up at the Learning Studios. Christy and her team helped her explore what she wanted to study, what she wanted in a college, what colleges to consider, how to write her statement of purpose, etc., etc., They even helped with her applications for financial aid/scholarships. They held her accountable for all the steps along the way and she was pretty much done with the hard stuff by the start of her Senior year. Without the Learning Studios, I know this would have involved many stressful moments between her and me. It was worth every penny. They also provided excellent math tutoring for her (e.g., precalculus, and AP calc plus more). I've since recommended The Learning Studios to other families and all have been very pleased. I highly recommend The Learning Studios.

We couldn't have asked for a better SAT tutor for our son Taylor than Josh Lim. Josh has a strong…read moreengineering background, just like Taylor, so they clicked from the very first session. Josh understood how Taylor thinks and knew how to explain concepts in a way that made sense to him. Josh's guidance made a difference even before tutoring started. I had assumed the ACT would be the better fit, but Josh assessed Taylor's strengths and quickly helped us see that the SAT made more sense. Taylor is very strong in math and needed more support in reading and writing. That one piece of advice set us on the right path. Over just 10 weeks, Josh helped Taylor raise his score by several hundred points. He pushed Taylor's already-strong math even higher and, more impressively, helped him make real, measurable progress in reading and writing, the area where he'd struggled most. Taylor scored 1290 on his first official SAT in August and 1320 in September, and he's heading into his third attempt feeling confident and well prepared. Josh is patient, knowledgeable, and strategic, and he genuinely cares about his students' success. If your teen is preparing for the SAT or ACT, especially a STEM-minded student, I can't recommend Josh and AJ Tutoring highly enough.

Fast forward 1.5-2 years later: my oldest started high school and is getting an A+ in almost every subject. My younger is now in middle school and has commented often how much the tutoring has helped in class: "I see my friends struggling with what the teacher presented today but I already knew how to do it because I learned it in tutoring". Investing in this tutoring program was worth every penny to see my kids excel in school. They are now confident and eager to learn. Big thanks to the team at Millbrae Tutoring Club!

And I tried to help him myself and I have tried other avenues of reading and writing programs that have not been successful for him. I have searched for many in-person tutoring sites to see which will be the best fit for him. When I was consulting with Mr A regarding my son's struggles, he knew exactly how I felt. I described in short that my son can't even write a SIMPLE descriptive christmas card is when I knew he was in trouble. When Alex got assessed , he was exactly in the level I knew he was, 3 grade levels behind. The more in depth we discussed how to get Alex Caught up and that tutoring clubs program has been successful, I truly believed this might be the help he will finally get and need. Mr A said my son has time to catch up and that their program is successful. Here we are 4.5 months later, I'd like to report that I am overwhelmed with joy to know my son has made major breakthrough in comprehension and writing. Though he still has a long way to go, but in the short time frame he's been at tutoring club, I have seen a major improvements in his comprehension, in his writing, and most importantly his self esteem. I recently read one of my sons argumentative papers and I cried happy tears. Given he still have grammatical and puntuation errors, I couldn't believe he wrote a full page essay. This has brought tears to my eyes because he couldn't even write a simple note in card without feeling frustrated. I am truly impressed and I thank you Mr A and the wonderful tutorers that have given my son their time and patience in teaching him. And my son doesn't dread attending class. They are remarkable teachers. I highly recommend Tutoring Club .

We had to stop because we were worried it'd hurt his long-term motivation, especially in English. We found JEI through a friend's recommendation and were honestly skeptical at first, because my son was really against going to tutoring at that point. But within a couple of weeks, everything changed. He started saying the tutors were "funny" and actually looked forward to going and showing them his completed JEI workbooks. Now JEI is part of our weekly routine, and the results have been clear. Their personalized approach and engaging teaching have boosted his confidence--he now enjoys reading and grammar and consistently earns 3s in English. With middle school coming up, we're planning to enroll him in the Reading & Writing program at JEI as well. Highly recommend!
