    I can not recommend ELP highly enough! My bright, funny, hardworking AP level high school student…read morewas struggling and John and Stacy at ELP were the answer. They met with him, built a trusting relationship and customized a program for him that focused on his learning strengths. They work with him on recognizing his weaknesses and teaching him strategies to work around them. The personal attention and care along with the excellent communication with me has been more than I could have hoped for. My student looks forward to his tutoring sessions every week which is a night and day difference, he is so confident now. The newly developed high tech office is very unique in that they have a multitude of settings in which to work, everything from a private office to conference rooms. They are right off 294 so it is pretty easy to get to as well.

    Unlike the cookie-cutter approach so common in storefront tutoring centers, Enlightened Learning…read morePathways is changing the face of student support. Because the needs all students vary so widely, ELP develops a customized program targeting areas of need. Academic challenges are often a symptom of underlying social and emotional concerns. Because it's personalized, ELP can provide academic support and career coaching in a warm, safe, comfortable environment. Every student who is overwhelmed by the academic demands and expectations of life can find the path to success at ELP. I cannot recommend them enough!

    I just took my exam at this testing center and it was pretty nice! Here are some things to note if…read moreyoure planning on taking an exam here too: the good :) - the proctors in the morning were super kind. another student and I were freaking out because the door would not open but we knocked on the window and someone came to let us in. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE BOTTOM OF YOUR CONFIRMATION EMAIL FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON ENTERING THE BUILDING. dont be like me, it was a very stressful way to start my morning - the facility is very clean. there was no construction nearby so it was nice and quiet. - I got dropped off for my exam because I was nervous about parking, but there is PLENTY. Parking is not right in front of the building though so make sure you plan ahead - the lady helping us sign in was very kind and calm. she was very patient as nervous students were having trouble with the extensive check in policy - the lockers are spacious! of course, limit what you bring to the testing center, but I brought a tote and lunch box -- both fit comfortably - the bathrooms were very close to the testing center so 10 minute breaks were plenty of time to go and come back - there is a water dispenser in the testing room by the lockers. you should ideally bring your own food/water, but don't freak out if you forget! - watches are not allowing in the testing room but FEAR NOT, there is a clock on the wall to make sure you keep track of your break times the bad :( - there was a ticking noise in the ceiling during my exam that would come and go // it was pretty distracting without any noise-cancelling equipment - the earplugs provided by the testing center are foam cylinders that are not very comfortable. might want to ask if you can bring your own that are more tapered for comfort - noise-cancelling headphones are provided by the exam but they were very tight on my head and gave me ear pain - THE COMPUTERS ARE SO WIDE. All the letters are so wide and you can see the pixels of every word and image on the screen. This took some time getting used to in the beginning of the exam so beware! lil fun fact: during one of the breaks, one of the proctors was telling me that there are no 13's in the room. no 13 desk, no 13 locker, no 13 waiting card. superstitious or not, it is a nice touch

    PROS: 1) Staff at the Buffalo Grove location were very kind…read moreand helpful, which made an inherently stressful day much easier. I was so pleasantly surprised, especially having read mixed Yelp reviews of Pearson test center staff at various locations. Seriously, give those folks at the Buffalo Grove testing center a raise for customer relations (though a couple of procedural improvements should be implemented, as noted below). 2) Site is easy to get to and has plenty of free parking. So much easier than having to take public transit into downtown Chicago or deal with city traffic and city parking. 3) Building and test center were very clean and comfortable. 4) I passed my test, so hurray for that. CONS: 1) I had to ask before staff told me that I could get my test results same day. Then when I asked about my score after the test, the guy monitoring the room said results were supposed to have displayed on screen. Only after I told him that they hadn't did he offer to look up my score and tell me that (*surprise*) he could even give me a hard copy printout of my results. If I hadn't inquired I don't think test center staff were going to volunteer this, and I would've walked out without knowing it was available. Big procedural oversight. For tests where scores and/or hard copies of results are available immediately, all examinees should be told up front that this will be provided. To be clear, I think the staff were well-intentioned and that this was an inadvertent oversight, but something this important should be standard operating procedure. 2) Beware when taking notes: They give you a plastic sheet to take notes w/a special marker. You can have extra sheets, but they don't automatically tell you that you'll be forced to give up your first sheet if you ask for a second one. If I hadn't asked for a second sheet up front, the guy monitoring the room wouldn't have warned me of this policy and I wouldn't have been able to plan accordingly. That would have been awful, if I'd run out of space and had to choose between giving up a whole page of notes or not being able to take any additional notes. Again, I think the test proctor meant well, he just didn't realize that this was a potentially important thing to tell people. 3) Computer display was AWFUL. Monitor was very wide, and the test displayed in very small text across the full width of the monitor so I had to squint and physically turn my head side to side to read each question. So much eye strain, I got a terrible headache part way through which made it much harder to concentrate. Staff at the test center told me that not all exams display that way, and suggested I complain to the company that makes the test. I could, but I think Pearson should really take care of that. It's their job to provide a reasonable testing environment, and for a $700 testing fee, one would think they could (and should) ensure an easily readable computer display.
