We are a busy family with little time to discern the pros and cons of the ACT vs the SAT. Lisa…read moreMazor expertly guided us in identifying the most appropriate test for our daughter to take for her college applications. She was invested in explaining to us the differences between both tests and how each test benefits specific types of students. We settled on our daughter taking the SAT and then signed up for a series of group test prep classes taught by Ms. Mazor. Our daughter came home from every class with a "can do" attitude about the test, invested in studying for the practice tests and reviewing errors she made in practice tests (of which there are many!) The class series was taught at a steady pace and in five short weeks accomplished review of strategies and material, taking 4 proctored tests that simulate the real SAT test experience and analysis of test errors and writing samples. I believe our daughter's level of enthusiasm and commitment to give this experience her very best was inspired by Ms. Mazor's approach to teaching. She communicates positivity, accountability to be the best one can be and her teaching style is dynamic and engaging. My daughter was never bored in these classes and remained focused on studying at home and learning from her errors throughout the test prep period. The final outcome was an SAT score that exceeded her (and our) expectations! We could not be more satisfied with our experience with Test Prep Santa Barbara!!

This is a tutoring match service. The company tries to match independent tutors with families…read morerequesting tutoring services. No tutor can make a child learn, motivation must come from the parent. Sure, some matches of tutor/family are not a perfect fit, but using common sense, most things can be resolved through compromise. This is an almost nationwide/global business. They have a great online platform (zoom like). Sure an occasional tutor may flake out or an occasional family may have unrealistic expectations, but try again. The company has no control over either entity - it just bills and tries to match needs. One bad apple does not ruin the whole truck!

I cannot say enough about SB Tutoring and my son's incredible tutor, Hannah. From the start, SB…read moretutoring has provided nothing short of stellar and exceptional service. The staff that I have interacted with are all incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Hannah started out helping my son with English and reading comprehension. I am very impressed with the structure of the sessions. Hannah doesn't wait for my son to come with questions. She is already familiar with the school's curriculum and books that he is reading. She has questions and exercises for my son to work on that are directly related to what he's doing in school. Recently, she also started helping him with his math class that is now being taught at an accelerated pace due to the anticipation of returning back to campus in person. The amount of new information is overwhelming now that it's being taught at twice the normal speed. Hannah is incredibly knowledgeable of algebra and geometry and has helped my son immensely. Every session ends with a short virtual meeting with me of a summary of what they covered and homework assignments she has given my son to complete. A follow up email is also sent with this information. To sum up Santa Barbara Tutoring in one word: outstanding. I am very happy and it is well worth the money for the 90 minute weekly sessions. My son is now much more confident with his skills in English. He's always been an "A-/B+"student in English. But, it has been a struggle with many tears and virtual office visits with his teachers. He is now earning an "A" in class with much more ease and understanding. Thank you SB Tutoring!

She gave me exercises and other tools to help me work towards my goal of synthesizing and analyzing information I needed for the exam. She helped me develop that goal and all of our sessions supported the goal. She helped me to focus, de-stress, sleep soundly, and access rules that I had memorized over 6 months prior but since I was working full time, didn't have time to redo starting from scratch. She helped me with my test anxiety, lack of confidence, accessing my memory, and creative thinking and writing - the skills I needed to hone for the bar exam. Since then, I have continued to work with her to help me deal with anxiety and PTSD. I continue to work with her because she's an amazing healer, mentor, and all-around wonderful person. I can't recommend her highly enough.
