    Kind, personalized, excellent teaching. Small school is fantastic for brainy kids with sensory issues.

    Initially I sent my son to a Montessori school nearby. They did not meet his social and emotional…read moreneeds. Everyday during drop off he would vocally tell me he didn't want to be there. So for a few reasons we decided to switch him to TOPS. His demeanor instantly changed. Although this school isn't "academically focused" he gained self confidence and doing much better in social settings. For him, that was exactly what he needed to continue to thrive and "learn" from all the interactive and magical activities that occur at TOPS. Our son is now more confident than ever in all social settings including with strangers and adults. The confidence set the foundation he needed to thrive in other areas of learning and development. Being first time parents, it was the best decision we ever made. (On a side note: The parent participation and abundance of optional school events have fostered a genuine community of parents at TOPS. I really appreciate the connections I have made here.)

    TOPS is an amazing place. Last year, my wife and I moved to Orinda from San Francisco in July (a…read moremonth before school started) and we were welcomed with open arms. The school is play based. TOPS may not be for everyone. In fact, our oldest daughter would have been a deer in headlights in this unstructured environment. However, our son loved the cornucopia of all the wonderful activities inside and outside the classroom. He's so excited by all his options that he's eager to get going after getting dropped off. Which has been wonderful, because we were worried about teary eyed goodbyes every morning. The teachers and staff at TOPS are beyond excellent. Many had been there for years, even decades. They are very knowledgeable about child development, discipline, etc. I feel very comfortable leaving my son in their care. Last, but not least, is the superb TOPS community. Because parents have to be involved, there's a great sense of belonging and camaraderie that is fostered by TOPS. In summary, TOPS is a wonderful school and environment for kids.

    Reed helped me get ready for the math portion of the GRE. He was an amazing tutor…read more To give you some background, statistics was the last math class I had taken. It was 5 years ago. Before that had taken only high school geometry and algebra, which was over 12,years ago. So needless to say, I was basically starting from scratch. Reed was patient, understanding, and put together a plan of action for each tutoring session. I appreciated that he didn't waste my time, we focused on the math. He is great at explaining complex ideas and relating them to concepts I am more familiar with. Although I don't think it is possible to be 100% prepared for the GRE, I felt confident going into it. My score was high enough to get me into literally every graduate school I applied to. Obviously there is more to a college application than your GRE score, but it can be the reason why your application gets looked past. I needed help with the math portion, and Reed was able to get me to a point where I wasn't overwhelmed by every problem that came my way. He has this sense of mastery over these concepts, like even the most complex problem is nothing for him. And he was able to get me to a similar place over the course of a few months. I would highly recommend Reed as a GRE tutor. Feel free to contact me through Yelp if you have any questions.

    Reed comes up with new material every week and is more than willing to help me review what I needed…read moreto work on. I took the SAT, ACT, and SAT 2 and Reed was available every session to help me improve my scores. He's also patient and cracks jokes to make the tutoring sessions not seem as boring as other places

Nancy has a gift for knowing when to listen and when to encourage; she was able to pick up on my needs as a client and guide me toward taking concrete action steps that improved my satisfaction at both work and in my personal life. I cannot thank her enough for the wonderful coaching and thoughtful approach she took. Five stars over and over!

    I first had the pleasure of meeting Nancy fifteen years ago in her capacity as an executive…read morefunction coach. Nancy coaches children with executive function disorders like ADHD and Aspergers Syndrome, helping them to succeed academically. A few of her clients were taking classes at the Berkeley Chess School and she came to support them. I was very impressed by her ability to keep students calm and focused and enjoying class. Over the years, she expanded her business to serve college students, adults and professionals, and businesses as well. Nancy is a whiz at helping people get organized, like a person who comes to de-clutter your house, except Nancy de-clutters minds! The Berkeley Chess School was in the nascent stages of a capital campaign to purchase a permanent home for our school. As BCS founder and president, I had solicited donations to support our free chess outreach programs in schools, but our capital campaign had a goal of nearly a million dollars, and I was somewhat daunted by the enormity of the fundraising task. My desk was awash in bankers' boxes and post-it notes, so I made the decision to hire Nancy to help me through this process. Her advice and support became invaluable. She guided me through the transition from chess educator to chess entrepreneur. Her integrity, her sound methodology, her ability to clearly delineate problems with possible solutions, and REALLY LISTEN, with confidentiality and compassion, helped me negotiate the inevitable bumps in the road and make good choices for the school. Today, Berkeley Chess School has an operating budget in excess of a million dollars and we own our own building. I credit my success as a fundraiser in no small part to Nancy's coaching. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
