Top Notch Math Tutor. Marsha was a lifesaver this summer…read morewhen my daughter was overwhelmed and frustrated by a fast paced on-line summer Statistics class. Marsha explained concepts clearly and took the time necessary to help her understand material prior to testing. She will not watch the clock but instead stay and review the subject matter step- by -step until your student is comfortable with the lessons. She is patient and reliable and super easy to reach when scheduling. Very affordable as well. B plus in the class but an A plus for Marsha!

My seventh grade daughter went up 21 points on her MAP test scores! My ninth grader tested into a…read moremath class a year higher than expected--not exaggerating. Now my twelfth grader wants to work with her too. She is comfortable with all their subjects and makes the kids feel capable and confident. I am amazed at her results, and for three very different learners.

I worked with Tara for 1-month and saw immediate progress in my abilities. Tara is an effective…read moreGMAT tutor because he has thoroughly studied the test. One thing I struggled with prior to working with Tara was identifying what is actually being tested. I would just do the problems, get some wrong, get some correct, and then move on. Tara emphasized an error log and thinking about why I got something wrong, which really helped me. Tara helped me move my score from 42 to a 47 on the Quant section. His insights to Data Sufficiency questions were worth at least 2 of the 5 points that I added, bringing my combined score to a 710.

I was applying to Executive MBA programs and had decided to take the Executive Assessment(EA)…read moreinstead of the GMAT. The EA is an alternative that many schools are using, but there isn't as much info and test techniques as there is for the GMAT. I purchased the official study material provided by GMAC. Still, after taking the EA, I found that the material and practice tests weren't as accurate a portrayal of a real exam as I had hoped, especially for the Quant section. After receiving my scores from the first exam, it was clear I'd need to retake the test and needed some help brushing up on my quant skills. I interviewed several companies that promised an increase in my score, but none took a personable approach until I found Tara. Tara took the time to understand what I needed, my history, and where I wanted my score to end up to get into one of my top choice schools. I didn't have a lot of time before my next exam, so Tara focused on my weaknesses, and we worked almost daily up until exam day. He shared many short-cuts and tricks to help get to the root of the question and eliminate the "noise." He provided many reference notes and made sure that I genuinely understood before moving to the next topic, always encouraging along the way. He is amazingly flexible as he was able to work about my schedule and meet early in the mornings. With Tara's help, I was able to increase my quant score high enough to get into one of my top choice business schools, and I would recommend Tara to anyone!

I am not an active yelper…read more Never really felt the need to post--except one when we suffered through Budget rent a car in San Diego (still a bit miffed). However, this team's exemplary service compelled me to post. As a parent of three, I want my kids to find calm and confidence amidst the educational challenges that they must confront. This group--although a wee more expensive--was totally worth it. Kind, courteous, yet challenging, they have the right patter, cadence and expertise to connect with any kid--both those that struggle and also with those that excel. That is a rare quality. Give them a whirl. Your kid will thank you.

I provided him all of my practice worksheets and he helped me work through and understand every single problem on all of my practice sheets. I got a 90% on the physics final! It boosted my average from an 83% (C-) to an 85% (B+). Max was the best tutor I have ever had! He was so flexible and super dedicated in helping me ace this final. Thank you so much for all of your help!

I'd looked at other schools but they were too close to the theory and not keeping up with the practice. Now I teach here. I've done the classes for the past 15 years as a part time job. It's still relevant and the people involved are the ones with their fingers on the pulse of the practice. So much is what is considered best practice.

After researching the ACT tutoring options for our high school junior, we settled upon Park Ridge…read moreTutoring. We had heard a lot of positive buzz and received several word-of-mouth recommendations. We made a great choice. The tutors are very professional, enthusiastic, motivating, kind and highly educated. Very tailored approach and we never got that "cookie cutter" feel you find elsewhere. Our daughter raves about both Craig and Deb and, best of all, they managed to raise her ACT score 5 points. Well worth the investment.

David is the best LSAT instructor around! I have tried all of them including Kaplan and they can…read moreNOT compare to LSAT Sensai. After trying Kaplan 3 times with no results but a big bill to pay, I heard about this great energetic guy named David who was the Master at the LSAT. It was true! I worked full time and was able to increase my LSAT score by 10 points! I'm not going to lie, it was hard work but I did it. David is so funny and full of life yet he is brilliant. No other company was able to explain the method of LSAT test taking like David. Worth every penny!

LSAT Sensei is awesome!!!! Wanna know why? Ok Ill spill the beans, here's why:…read more 1. He helped me increase my score by 4 points after only a few classes and my friends score went up 15 points! (she took the 6 month version of the course and did all the homework) 2.He made the classes FUN, I know the LSAT,fun? He kept the classes very interesting and engaging and always used funny humor to keep us engaged. He broke it down so I could actually understand it. 3. I worked full time and took the course, David was SUPER understanding and allowed me to communicate via email and choose a schedule that worked best for me.He even made my husband be my accountability partner so I would stay motivated! lol 4.The class is AFFORDABLE unlike other courses I tried to take, I was able to make payments while attending the class. I have a family and I needed to be able to pay for the course on a payment plan, 5. He helped me GET ACCEPTED to my top choice law school. I was flat out denied to law school the first time I applied (I only applied to one school, I knew where I wanted to go) , THEN I took Davids class at the suggestion of my current law school dean and was able to take a summer course that will lead up to my 1L year in law school. Overall it worked, you get results and you don't have to go broke doing it. You wont find a better class. Oh and AFTER the class he still checks in on you he stopped by my law school and checked out my outline to make sure I was on track ( and no I didn't have to pay him) he just cares. David is a great LSAT instructor and those that he hires are honest and actually want us to succeed. This was the BEST decision I made. Please inbox me if you have any questions I want to help people just like I was given help by LSAT Sensei.

I worked with Mr. Jay on math that was a year or two ahead of my curriculum, which set me up for success in all my math courses and gave me overall confidence in school.

I highly recommend Once It Clicks to any parent wanting to push their child academically and set them up for future success.
