Long story short: If your child needs to concentrate with little to no distractions while taking a…read moretest, this place may not be a good fit in my opinion after what I experienced today - unprofessionalism. My daughter had a 45 minute assessment today to figure out strengths and weaknesses in math to determine the right fit for tutoring at Mathnasium in Evergreen Park. During her assessment, (which most would consider a test) a tutor on duty talked the entire time while seated near my child, held a parent consultation across from my child, stood up and small talked a few feet from my child's desk area LOUDLY, yelled across the room to the same parent exiting, I mean she would not shut up. I found it very distracting from where I was seated and very unprofessional. If a child is taking an assessment, would it be too much to ask for a lowered voice? Move to a quiet corner of the center? Talk softly? Consult the other parent there in another part of the room? Well apparently this was too much to ask. The tutor and the owner, once the other parent left, began to talk about holiday and weekend plans, their upcoming work shifts, how the owner's wife fell down the stairs...etc. all while the tutor is standing over and near my child taking an assessment. How rude! I got up twice. I began to coach myself to calm down. But, I know my child, she is nine years old and doesn't concentrate well when things are going on around her, especially adult small talk, YOU KNOW? LIKE MOST KIDS!!!!. I went over the first time to see how she was doing because this woman talking and talking was getting on my nerves and I was seated several feet away, I figured my kid couldn't possibly be knocking out this test. Wait I'm sorry, assessment. She was stuck on a problem. The second time I went over I was through with this place. The tutor was standing near my child asking about weekend plans. My child was still on the same problem she was on minutes before! Mr O (the owner) told me that he told her if she's stuck on a problem to circle it and keep going, I'm surprised she didn't circle the whole thing! When I asked to reschedule during a more private session with less distractions they both looked puzzled. The owner said "During assessments there is no quiet place this is the environment." Whoa that was my cue. My request was incredulous to them. Ha. Whelp we are out. No apology no effort, no concern. Nothing. No customer service? I personally will not spend over $200 a month here. Mr. O was very pleasant and detailed over the phone but once I got to the location, my impressions slowly faded. Also, I must say Mr O if you read this, the tutor once she found out you were coming, she told the little girl she was tutoring that they needed to move from the way they were seated. She wasn't facing the window and did not see me when I entered nor did she greet me. She was more concerned about why you were coming up there. SMH.

I am pleased to state that I have received excellent results with Mr. Glenn and ACT Prep Chicago…read more I first came to ACT Prep with my son in 2013 when he was preparing for his ACTs during his junior year. Since my son was a student at one of the top selective enrollment high schools in Chicago, he felt that he did not need additional preparation. However, Mr. Glenn was able to form an instant connection with my son, and soon discovered some deficient areas. Ultimately, my son improved his scores from a 22 on the practice exams to a 28 on the national exam. He even scored a 35 on the English section. Needless to say, my son was able to secure admission to all of his desired universities, and all of the schools offered him scholarships. Based on those successes, I enrolled my daughter after her freshmen year of high school so she could get a jump on preparation, as she is not the same type of student and needs extra help. So far, she has increased her score three points over the practice exams (which are old national tests). She will begin her third and final cycle in January 2018 for the national test in June 2018. Further points of consideration: Cost: I don't think you will find any place more reasonable. Directions: Easily accessible from the Dan Ryan and I-57. I suggest taking 87th street to Racine and then going north for a more pleasant driving experience. Parking: There is ample street parking, but parents usually drop off/pick up. Class size: The main feature of this prep site is the very small classes. I believe there were 7-10 in the last cycle. The kids are able to get personalized attention . Bring a sweater, water, and a snack.
