My son has been attending Mathnasium of Bayside for about three months now as part of this…read moreMathnasium's 8 sessions a month package. Our commute to here is about 30 minutes but I feel it is worth it. There is ample metered street parking. This particular location (Mathnasium is a franchise and each center is privately owned) has what they call pods; three students are assigned to one tutor. I visited a different center where there was one "floating" tutor for the entire time your child is there. For me, this wouldn't have worked as my son needs a little more hands on help and oversight because of lack of ability to focus for long periods of time. Each session is an hour. Children are given binders to keep up with their progress. The center will "test" your child's level and help you determine where they would best fit in beginning their math sessions here. Julie, one of the co-owners of the center, has been more than acommodating to us in tweeking my son's individual plan based on what he is learning now in school. The other Mathnasium I visited noted they would only dedicate 15 minutes to homework. My son tutors with Ron and he's been very happy and says he has been able to learn new techniques from him. It's been three months so thus far am very happy with the center - very friendly, accommodating, polite and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone in need of school help.

Tutoring was fine. I asked to cancel my class and didn't show up yet, every month they would take…read morethe amount that I used to have to pay when I went. So this went on and I had to give them 3000 for no reason at all. Workers can blame me but after I don't show up for a month they didn't even THINK of calling to ask if they should cancel it? Even though I told them to cancel my classes. When i asked for the money back they refused even though I didn't take any classes, so essentially they stole from me. No emails, no calls, no warning that they took money from us every month. Teachers are worse than before, they don't teach very well.

I've been fortunate enough to prep with Advantage Testing tutors for the SAT I, SAT II, and the…read moreLSAT. They had a reputation for being the best of the best, and they delivered. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Going back to high school, I had a terrific experience working with Advantage on my college entrance exams. Even though I hated studying in school, I genuinely enjoyed working with AT's teachers. Aside from being gifted instructors, they are some of the friendliest people you'll meet, and they seem to genuinely care about their students. I remember they customized a study plan for me, focusing on the areas of the test that I needed to improve the most. Following their plan, and using the strategies I learned in class, I earned a 760 Verbal, 750 Math I, 790 Writing, and an 800 Math II, all a significant boost above my diagnostic scores (which I recall being in the low ~600 range). Years later, when I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer, and began looking for the right LSAT test prep service, turning to Advantage was a no-brainer. On my first LSAT practice test, I received a diagnostic evaluation in the 55th percentile. I knew that I would need a significant (aka Elle Woods-level) jump in my LSAT score to have a decent shot at the top schools. That's when Advantage came in. Studying with Advantage tutors, you learn to break down each section of the test into a set of consistent techniques, which you hone and solidify over repeated practice tests. After months of test prep, I took the LSAT and scored a 99th percentile on the official exam. Equipped with a great LSAT score, I was admitted to my top choice for law school, a feat that had seemed impossible only a few months prior. Now, as a practicing attorney looking back on it, I am certain I would not have been nearly as well prepared with any other test prep service. In sum, I don't think there is anyone as professional or effective as Advantage when it comes to the hard work of preparing for high-stakes entrance exams. I recommend them without hesitation.

With a combination of a horrible professor and sup par math skills, I thought I was going fail regardless of what I did. I worked with Matt once a week for the rest of the semester.

I am happy to report that I received a B+ in that class (again, after failing 3 quizzes and the first test!) I definitely could not have done that without him.

Before studying…read morewith Laura I constantly felt like I was wondering aimlessly and was frustrated by my lack of progress. I remember first reading some of Laura's reviews online and wondering if she could actually be as good as her students seemed to suggest. Well... 14 points and a dream LSAT score later I can vouch for the fact that she is even better. I took classes offered by some of the test-prep companies and even used their private tutoring services... I learned more in 90 minutes with Laura than I did in all the hours I spent using other LSAT prep services. My only regret is that I only learned about Laura after studying for the LSAT for a few months. What makes Laura an amazing teacher is that she makes the LSAT seem less intimidating. Even the most complicated logic game or convoluted reading passage seem simple when Laura breaks it down. The same applies for logical reasoning questions. There is no doubt in my mind that working with Laura is the most efficient and effective way to increase your LSAT score. I am so grateful for all of her help and highly recommend her!!

But yes, she changes my life and I couldn't have made this without her.
