I'm so pleased to write this review for Andrea. Our son was having difficulty In elementary…read moreschool. We had him tested by Dr. Alison Kawa. He was diagnosed with a processing deficiency. After finding out what was causing him issues we were referred to Andrea Chernin. They hit it off immediately. He never dreaded going to see her. He started to improve almost immediately. They saw each other weekly for many years. While he struggled in elementary school, he improved beyond our wildest imagination in both middle and high school. His GPA in highly school was 4.3, with 5/4's in all his AP exams. While grades were important to him, and to us, his growth and self confidence were instrumental in achieving a higher degree of personal and educational success. He is now a sophomore at the University of Michigan. While his issues will be a life long challenge, Andrea has given him the tools to navigate life in a positive and productive manner. If your child needs a kind and caring person, who knows how to cajole, motivate and inspire, then Andrea is your person. She is amazing.

When she began working with Kim at Illuminate just after her Freshman year, her grades were low, but worse, her confidence had taken a hit and we struggled to come up with a strategy to unlock joy in learning. Flash forward: Our child has had multiple 4.0 semesters, was awarded "Most Improved Academics" in her class, and received multiple college admissions offers (and sig. scholarship awards.) Beyond the grades and achievement, our child has developed a love of learning, has navigated her Executive Functioning issues, and has a strategy for ongoing academic success. There are no words to describe how gratifying it is to see her growth and confidence as she heads to college. This would not have been possible without the team at Illuminate.

What is most important is that they accept each student as an individual and develop a curriculum that carefully strengthen core levels of learning. This in turn develops a more self confident child. Elliott had a very challenging time in the public school system before finding The Neilson Academy. With in six months Elliott has developed consistent work habits, he has learned an inner responsibility toward him self and a greater respect for others. The Neilson Academy creates a safe nurturing environment for this type of development. Elliott has a stronger sense of himself and understanding on how to realize his dreams of being an actor. The Neilson Academy embraces each child and their unique individual potential. As a parent I felt completely safe about dropping him off everyday, I as a parent felt supported knowing that Elliott was loved and honored, with compassionate direction. Elliott is a more confident and determined child, which has much to do with the stewarding of this special school and staff. With Gratitude, Elizabeth Moore

First, when we had arrived to the address, i was not sure if it was the right place; for it being the house not a commercial building. During Mrs.Linda's demo class i was sitting in the same room, as minutes went by i was falling in love with her, her method and her teaching style. "Wow what a gem i found"!!! I thought.... Dear parent, don't be mislead by the number of reviews they have, this little kingdom of knowledge is such a gem, your child will benefit from learning here in so many ways. I'm excited and my baby is willing to come back to visit Mrs. Linda. I trust my daughter, if she liked the person and the energy of the house, we're in the right place!

First tutor they sent didn't know the material, kept saying he will study on it and be better next time. 2nd tutor literally showed up and said we were her first tutoring client and she'd never taught math and instead, English / writing were her strong suit. When I brought these issues up to the Mike, he accused me of having "high expectations". He then promised to find me a replacement tutor and few days go by and don't hear back. I ask for my pre-payment back and he only send me partial. He charged me for the tutor who never taught math too, who showed up and just wasted everyone's time and was so timid she spoke maybe 5 words during the entire 2 hours. Not a way to run a business, and as a VERY active parent in the school district, I will definitely be swaying parents AWAY from this company.

Shushan is an incredible tutor! She is sweet and patient and connected easily with my son. He felt…read morecomfortable with her and was always happy to go. She not only teaches the material, but her tips, tricks and strategies are invaluable. She helped my son prep for the HSPT entrance exam for Notre Dame after he took their week-long test prep workshop and practice test and his score needed to greatly improve. Shushan worked with him once a week for a few months leading up to the test and his score went up 130 points and his markers went from half being in the 'below average' range & half in the 'average' range to ALL ABOVE AVERAGE on the actual test! He was accepted into Notre Dame and we couldn't be happier. Shushan also helped him with general study habits for tests and gave him tools that he can apply for years to come. We will continue to call Shushan anytime my son needs extra support throughout high school and will be sending my younger daughter to her to test prep when she's ready for high school. I highly recommend Shushan at Protege Tutoring to help get your kids where they need to be.

We began searching for a tutor that would be the "right fit" for our daughter, Vyla, some time ago…read more During the 2020-2021 year (4th grade), our daughter was lucky enough to be in-school learning, as COVID prevented many from not being in-school. However, Vyla had been struggling since the beginning of her 3rd grade year, when COVID first hit. Her studies took a nosedive and we had been playing catch-up since. Although being in school was incredibly valuable, she continued to fall behind. As Vyla entered the 5th grade, we were determined to get her caught up as quickly as possible. We considered a few other services, which all looked great, but there was something very warm and positive about Marsha when we discussed Vyla and our determination to get her back to grade level. Marsha reviewed Vyla's background, listened to all of our concerns, reviewed an academic evaluation we had Vyla complete, and discussed an education plan moving forward .When Vyla began the 5th grade, we then reevaluated what Vyla should be doing, based on what was going on in her class. Marsha focused on Vyla's gaps, and with each session, Vyla became more confident, and more focused! When we started, Vyla was hesitate, as Marsha was "new" and she was not sure if she would work well due to having to complete her schoolwork; she was worried about being over-worked. But with each new session, Marsha showed Vyla that studies could be fun! Marsha challenged her with quiz's, facts, flash cards, and Vyla could feel the improvement in her studies. As the school year has progressed, Marsha was quick to utilize the areas Vyla was working on in school, as well as testing her on her spelling, math, and reading. Marsha is kind, patient, and very accommodating. She is willing to work with your schedule, and is flexible provided you keep in communication with her. She wants to work with children, and you can tell she cares - she cares about their wellbeing, education and self-esteem, which is very refreshing. We are very happy we found Marsha, and intend to keep working with her for the rest of the school year, and hopefully next year as well! We completely recommend and appreciate Marsha, who is truly a friendly, experienced and professional tutor. Thank you!

He was near the bottom of his class and his teacher suggested that he consider leaving the honors program as he was near the bottom of the class. After rotating through 3-4 tutors who I could tell weren't doing the trick and costing me a fortune, I found Brandon. From the first session I knew he was different as he took his time to figure out exactly where my little cousin was at and proceeded to create lesson plans tailored to his needs. By the end of the semester, he was near the top of the class and started loving going to school. I can't thank Brandon enough for helping my little cousin find his passion for school and teaching him HOW to learn.
