Jean was able to assess both my son's strengths and weaknesses and came up with strategies that would allow him to maximize his strengths and increase his score by 220 points. Jean's patience and demeanor worked very well with my son. Their hard work (and my money) has paid off! Thank you Learning Consultants!!!

Working with Mrs. Card had given me a huge turn around in my academic experience. If there's anyone…read moreto help a student prepare for two SAT's and two ACT's, she's the one. It's all thanks to Mrs. Card and her advice for how I was able to bump up my second SAT score by 70 points. She has a very unique way of how she approaches students. No matter how well or poor my results on a test, quiz or any assignment were, she never once increased the pressure nor did she ever raise the intensity on me. She was always consistent. I stopped working with her after my second SAT, right before senior year began. However, I reflect back on how being tutored and given important advice by Mrs. Card was a major reason for how I became an all A student my senior year of high school. Mrs. Card is the one!

Connecticut Experiential Learning Center (CELC), literally, takes my breath away…read more The opportunity for the students at CELC is amazing and the dynamics of the group of students is absolutely beautiful. CELC is what, I believe, every parent would want for their child: a bully free and truly challenging (individully titrated, another miracle for a school) learning environment. Melinda Alcosser and Maria Mortali are the two exceptional forces that lead the learning process at CELC: for kids in grades 5th through 8th. Why CELC for my family? Coming from a fantastic public school in Shaker Heights, Ohio, (Onaway elementary school) we moved to the shoreline of Connecticut into a school system with high ratings. The bullying was so unexpected and frightening. Worse, my child was "viewed" as the problem. We moved him to a private school (in the same community), and found the same dynamic continued to occur in this private school. He continued to be bullied and he fell through the cracks with regard to academics. My husband and I had a difficult time getting him to do his homework, and as a result, teachers disregarded his abilities and did not challenge him. We moved him to CELC in March of 2012. The second week he was there, on the way home he said, unprompted, "I love being there. It is like something was missing in my heart before, and now I am complete." Since moving to Connecticut two years ago, my son is finally happy. He loves going out the door in the morning to CELC, and he comes home at night and completes his homework!!!!! It is only believable, because I have seen it happen for my son. At CELC, he is not only accepted for who he is, he is valued. He is challenged. He is doing his homework. He is finally happy. That makes me and my husband happy. Connecticut Experiential Learning Center takes my breath away. A truly miraculous school program on the Connecticut shoreline.

We are so grateful for the wonderful experiences and excellent education our son has received at…read moreCELC middle school. The amazing, dedicated teachers have created a nurturing environment, where the students really get to know each other. As a result, they have created a unique space where kids feel comfortable to learn, grow, and to be curious. Students are advanced and challenged according to their abilities and interests in a small class environment where they stay engaged and connected. The school provides wonderful breadth of activities beyond the core academics, including twice a week field trips, a Kingian nonviolence class, music, theater, cooking, community service, student run work shops, and other enriching experiences. Our son loves going to CELC, and CELC has inspired him to learn and to be his best self there.

AWESOME TUTOR! I was a little skeptical at first because I…read morehaven't had the best experiences with tutors, let alone online tutoring. However, Stephan surpassed all the expectations. He made Physics for Allied Health look easy. His explanations and lectures are super easy to understand and follow through. I recommend him 100% and will definitely be using him again. He had plenty of knowledge of the material. Stephan is your go to if you are having difficulties understanding your professors in school.

Stephan is the best tutor I have ever came across! I have had Stephan as a tutor since high school…read moreand I am now going into my third year of college. Before Stephan I struggled to find a tutor that could actually help me understand math subjects. Without Stephan I could not imagine passing my classes! In high school my math average went from a 62 to an 85 in just a couple weeks. I will continue to use Stephan and I definitely recommend!

This was our third time working with Summit, as we have three children, and we were again very…read morepleased with the process and outcome. The tutor we had was exceptional, patient and extremely effective for our 17 year old senior working on improving his SAT scores, which he did! Both the tutor and his supervisor at Summit were extremely good at communicating with us with updates and recaps, and also communicated directly with our child, while copying us. We truly were satisfied with the entire process, the tutor, communication and results. We would most definitely recommend Summit to others!
