my son received tutoring for a year for his regents exam. I specifically expressed to just forcus on regents exam. This tutor name was Jess nice person but did not teach my son absolutely nothing for a year. Before tutoring with Jess my son test scores was 20%. After tutoring with Jess it was 20%. This was so disappointing!!! I definitely will not suggest using this service if you want to see real results. read more

Hi! I have been working for EBL Coaching for about five years. As far as the staff are concerned, you will be surrounded by a small team of wonderful people who are conscientious, knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated towards matching each and every student they serve with the best tutor for them. They will ensure and go above and beyond that not only are the students matched with tutors who are a great fit for them, but also in terms of subject areas taught and geographic location. They will ensure a great fit, and will keep in touch to ensure that the tutoring sessions are successful, and the child's needs are being met. When I was hired, I did not realize that I would be hired as an "independent contractor (1099)," so, if you do accept a position with this learning center, please keep in mind that they will hire you 'for your services' as a 1099 independent contractor, and to please keep money to the side for tax season, as they do not take taxes out like a traditional job would. Also, since you are being paid as a "1099 independent contractor," you will not be eligible for any type of unemployment, or pandemic unemployment benefits, should you decide to collect. I learned this the hard way during the worldwide pandemic, as there were children who were not accustomed to virtual learning on a computer, and needed the in-person learning. So, please be prepared to set money aside for tax season should you accept a position with this learning center, as they do not take out taxes like a traditional W2/W4 job would. This educational program is a wonderful service for the students, families, and tutors it serves! As an independent contractor, you are provided with materials, that the learning center will happily provide to you at no cost, that features the founder's best instructional booklets and materials for each and every child, and you are also given permission to bring in any materials or suggestions that you like as well. A focus on phonics instruction, and instructional scaffolding, is at the heart of many lessons, along with taking a multi-sensory approach that engages students' many senses, including their sense of touch, sight, hearing, and many others. The goal is to slowly guide students towards mastering phonics letters, principles, and some spelling rules as well! As a multi-sensory instructor with EBL Coaching, I have witnessed how small steps can contribute to the bigger picture and help students to master both phonics and spelling principles. The curriculum also includes Math workbooks such as Coins 1, 2, etc, which guides students towards recognizing, writing down and highlighting relevant facts and information from a passage to determine the answer. There is also a very good collection of workbooks that help students with their study skills, and the workbooks can be purchased as well. I hope this review was helpful! read more

Honestly, the negative recommendations on here are absurd. Dr. Levy and Mary of EBL have all but rehabilitated me as an educator, made me believe in myself again, and helped me accomplish more as a teacher through their support and curriculum design (with waaaay less work) than any other position I have ever had. I have been teaching around the world for 15 years and across 5 countries. I am Latina, and I have NEVER experienced any discrimination here. Jenn, part of our management team, is also a woman of color. She is a bright light in our day at EBL. I am a disabled Latina instructor who works in disability education and was raised in Japan, so I am aware when it comes to issues of discrimination. EBL has in no way an inclusion problem. If it were not for the work these women do, a lot of students with disabilities would never receive the services they need in NY, NYC, and NJ. They manage teams across the whole region, so meeting with her is a privilege. It's not time for you to get upset about her not treating you like you're perfect when she doesn't know what you're like at all. They are a small team and you get paid a lot per hour to have all your curriculum designed by a national expert. All you have to do is show up for the kids, which, if you're really in it to teach, is a dream job. If you're in it for money, don't take this job. You can make more on Wall Street as a secretary, because this IS education. We are in it for the clients, the kids, and the families we serve. It's no wonder so many of the positive recommendations are from the clients themselves. Because we do outstanding work here. We expect it. We don't settle for less than our best. And we laugh while we do it. I love working for EBL. I am so thankful for the time I've spent here, and I consider it an honor to work in a field that makes me, personally, feel more grateful to be alive in the world. I love seeing that light turn on in a child's face, and I get to see that every day I work for EBL. Because the curriculum and the students are that wonderful. read more

Stay away from this company if your child has executive functioning issues. Everyone says they know how to teach to these kids, but they do not. I used recommendations from parents whose children had the same exact issues and children succeeded in school. My child went to one of the top private schools in nyc and he learned great tools to excel. GOOD LUCK! read more

EBL is a wonderful place for tutors and students! I have been a tutor here this past year and have received the best support and opportunities. Dr. Levy has put together an incredible program for students with varying needs. As an employer she is responsive, helpful, and professional. The parents of the students I have tutored are extremely pleased with Dr. Levy's evaluation and continued contact. Mary and Jen in the office will not let you down. They communicate with families and tutors in the most professional and courteous way possible. I highly recommend EBL Coaching! read more

Dr. Levy had me come in for an "interview" for a job position within the company. Instead of interviewing me, she (and the staff) had me do grunt work for a hour. Then, she decided to not contact me to turn me down for the job (even though I contacted her multiple times). Unprofessional work place. read more

My daughter, age 10, has received SETSS (special education) support through EBL since 2013. She receives services both in school for academic support in the mainstream classroom, as well as out of school to work on reading, writing, math and homework. Our experience has been amazing. We have seen tremendous improvement in reading and continued progress in math and writing. My daughter's school could not be happier with her SETSS as a wonderful addition to the classroom as a whole, and as integral to my daughter's continued academic success, specifically. Our SETSS is dedicated, highly skilled and reliable. Dr. Levy always provides requested written reports in a timely manner and our SETSS provides regular feedback about progress made and skills worked on and mastered. I am more than delighted with my daughter's achievements and progress and I am grateful to have EBL as part of our team! read more

EBL is a really great resource for students with special tutoring needs. The director is very hands on and part of the process from assessment through monthly reports and daily correspondences. This is a great source for parents in the tri-state area with kids experiencing learning difficulties. read more
