Thanks to Kate it quickly warmed up and became better than ever! My greatest impression of Kate was her incredible Maths skill. She was like a magician when you throw 700-800 level maths problems at her. No matter how difficult a problem was, she was always able to find a few ways to solve it with ease. She showed me how to solve some of the most complicated problems using the simplest methods, and sometimes the ways she solves these problems were honestly like magic tricks--really incredible and even entertaining! I was able to score a 50 on quant. I ended up getting a 710 and it could not be possible without Kate!

She has great insights during the actual reviews, but more importantly she gives you a methodology to study that was invaluable. For me, she gave me the tools to breakthrough to a score I am much happier with. I wish I had started much sooner, as I would have saved myself a ton of time. It was awesome working with Kate, and I would recommend anyone seek her out if they are serious about improving their study habits.

I am a student of Eastern and finally graduated. This was no easy feat, and took me a bit longer…read morethan anticipated, but I did it. I started here as a full time student living on campus in the dorms immediately after high school with a meal plan and no car. I didn't finish my degree with 2 classes left and joined the workforce. Eventually, years later I returned to complete my schooling and finally graduated. I will list what I know as a young high school student, and as an adult commuting, since I have experience in both situations. Eastern has plenty of housing available throughout campus for people who need it. They have a nice student union where you can sit and study, eat or hang out if you have a large gap of time between classes. As a returning student, I found it reasonably easy to navigate my way back into campus with doing all the paperwork and readmitting myself. The process was easy and simple, but should be done far in advance so you can get into the classes that you need. Don't do this the day before. Instructors were qualified and accessible. Some are harder than others, some have book and materials required for class, some do not. It really depends on your program and how far along you are in your degree. This is life. Each major is different, but this is college, so different things are to be expected. Eastern has a really great online program that allows students to submit assignments and read lectures (depending on the professor) online via their website. It's easy to navigate, and made commuting so much easier. I didn't have to attend class in person twice a week like I did back in the day. It's called a hybrid program. you show up for one class and the other half of the class is online, allowing you to do assignments from home. Each instructor and major is different and there are some classes that you must show up for in person and have very little online involvement. Others are heavier on the in class work, and lighter with the online stuff. It really depends on the instructor and what your major is. I loved the hybrid format, since it meant I didn't have to show up as much, and could do stuff from home. The downside to Eastern is the parking situation. It has become very expensive and because the school contracted it out to a private outside company. This is causing a huge uproar on campus, and people are getting parking tickets that should not. Now, all of the pay lots are automated and if you don't have a charge card or debit card, you are not going to get out. It used to be a $1.50 an hour. Not anymore. I think it's a $5 flat fee per hour or whatnot regardless of how long you are there. Also, the parking hang tags here are absurdly expensive. I don't know how any of the students can afford to park who have cars full time on campus. Back when I was a student, they had different "levels" of parking tags. The most expensive one was for full time students who either lived on campus with a car, or commuted full time during the day with a full class load. They were there the most money. Then they had part time tags, for people who were only there like 2 days a week, and the cheapest was the evening students who came in for night classes. Now, they don't care if you are taking one night class or live full time on campus. It's $165 a semester to park, regardless. I was on campus once a week for one class, and it would have still been $165. For one stinking class, once a week! They offer a shuttle that you can park off campus and come into school on, but that adds about 30 minutes to your commute, since you have to park at the football stadium, and get dropped off at their designated points, then walk to your building. That runs $30, but they keep raising the prices on those as well/ My only other complaint is that sometimes dealing with administrative stuff here outside of the classroom can be frustrating and drag on. Staff is readily accessible, but some are easier to deal with than others. For example, my graduation auditor was a wicked crotch who was miserable to deal with. But, my program advisers were awesome and easy to reach. Aside from my graduation auditor, I was always able to get stuff accomplished, even if it wasn't on the timeline I preferred. Overall I loved Eastern, and it was worth the stress of getting my degree. They made it easy as a young high school student and as a working adult who commuted. Thank you Eastern, you really let me get my degree done, and made it worth it, even with the few setbacks I had.

I'm updating my previous review of the University of Michigan after riding bicycles through the…read moreCentral Campus on a sunny Sunday afternoon. "U of M" as it's called locally, is the state's oldest university having been founded in Detroit 1817 before being moved to Ann Arbor 20 years later. It is also a very large public university with 46,000 students, second only to Michigan State University with its 50,000 students. Intercollegiate athletics are a big part of the university's tradition with a sprawling sports complex for the Wolverines including the "Big House" for football Saturdays. With over 500 major buildings on campus, the University's architectural styles stretch the limits from Angel Hall's Greek and Roman blend to Burton Tower's Art Deco design to the Law Quad's Tudor Gothic style. The University of Michigan is highly intertwined with every aspect of life in the Deuce. I think of the "U" as the anchor of this college town and in many ways, it is what makes the city different from every other city in the state of Michigan.

Over the last 7-months, I have been tutored by Mishka. Although I've known Mishka for a lot longer,…read moreas he has been a family friend for quite a long while, it wasn't until 7-months ago that I began receiving tutoring from him, in preparation to me attending Andrews University, with me now confidently being able to say that my experience with him has been nothing short of outstanding. Mishka's knowledge and experience in math makes the quality of his tutoring sessions a lot better compared to other tutors. From him knowing exactly how to help me understand new math concepts to making sure I receive enough practice with them, Mishka makes sure I know everything I should for each math course we've covered, with him teaching me ahead, to fully prepare me for when I go to University. The thing that sets Mishka and Minee LLC apart from the rest of the crowd in my opinion is the personaliezd tutoring curriculum created based on your knowledge. When I started to get tutored, I had many gaps that Mishka found through an assessment test of my knowledge, due to previous poor teachers, lack of practice, or occassional absense of material coverage, etc... Despite all that, Mishka quickly found those gaps, eliminating them right from the start through a large amount of practice, with me no longer making silly mistakes as often. (Mishka gives homework after his tutoring sessions. Although this might scare some people off, as it did me when I began, him doing that helped me out a ton in the preparation process for my university courses, as I'm sure it will help everyone else that will be tutored by him). The final thing that I love about Mishka is his friendliness and approachable nature. Also just want yall to know that if you ever need help, you can always text him about a quick problem and he will more often than not send you a full response on how to solve it, without giving the answer away. Atop of that, he is always encouraging me to do better, motivating me to push myself academically and never give up. With this, and everything said above, I believe Mishka is the best tutor I know and have ever had. Despite my personal connection between my family and Mishka, he never shows any favoritism or gives me any leeway due to our friendship during tutoring sessions, maintaining his professionalism and session quality. Overall, I really recommend Mishka to anyone who wants to get ahead in math. He has been the best tutor I've ever had. If he wasn't, I wouldn't be writing this review to help out his business.

I have also enjoyed the social aspect of getting to know other families- there are fun social events and playdates going on all the time. The curriculum is play-based, and within it, there are so many skills that the kids practice that will help them later in their education; kids work on lots of hands-on science, art, and pre-literacy skills, and they are having so much fun doing it. My daughter made a seamless transition to kindergarten after her two years here, and I expect my son will do the same. I would recommend this preschool to anyone who wants to be more involved with their kids' education!
