Instead of doing month-by-month subscription, you pay for number of sessions upfront. We started our kid with a a single session to see how he liked it and then he bought more sessions in bulk (we initially bought for 10 sessions but our kid loved it so much we bought 16 more! The single session payment went towards the payment of the initial 10 sessions as well). We had a day where we weren't able to make it to our session and when we called Kids Robotic Academy they rescheduled us no problem for later that week! They get your child to build and program lego projects that they've set up. When it comes time for the end of the session, our kid will describe his project and talk about how his program works. I think not only the building and programming aspect is important learning for child at a young age but the communication skills as well! I can't recommend Kids Robotic Academy enough to others.

They have helped me navigate through those hard times and continue to be considered dear friends I can always reach out to. Shay and Karen truly saved my life. I am not a parent, I am a young adult who has been working with them for the past 3 years. They have stepped in and helped me when I could not rely on my own parents. They have treated me as a friend, and mentee, and almost as if I am one of their own. I love them both dearly. They have been by my side through the rough times and they have been on the other side of the bride to see me come out with success. They have guided me every step of the way. If I ever need someone to talk to in the middle of the night I feel safe calling either of them. I truly have a unique bond with them than I have ever had with any counselor or therapist. I recommend anyone needing help with counseling or treatment to run straight to them for help. They know what to do and will put you in the right direction. I even had someone tell me that Shay and Karen are a "BIG DEAL" in the recovery world. I feel honored to be their client and have such a strong bond with them. You will not be disappointed!!!!

Summary: Expert and inspiring, At Home Tutoring Service's Alexandra Wax provided invaluable…read moreguidance to my child throughout the college application process. After being discouraged and told to aim low by a competing college advisory firm, At Home Tutoring Service encouraged my child to aim high, and my child ended up at my child's first choice Ivy League school. Details: After feeling that I had wasted a sizable flat fee with competing college advisory firm Doran & Scalora (see review of that firm for details), I hired Alexander Wax on an hourly basis after my child's junior year of high school. From the start, Alexandra Wax encouraged my child to aim high, shared insights about college communities that would be a fit or not, identified admissions departments' preferences to guide essay drafting, and provided constructive criticism that pushed by child to produce creative and thoughtful essays. Alexandra's advice always made sense and reflected extensive experience and a broad network of admissions officers. The few times I asked why Alexandra had made a certain recommendation, Alexandra easily explained her reasoning, citing inside sources as well as publicly available information. My child loved working with Alexandra and remained excited and motivated throughout the college application process. I feel Alexandra's service was invaluable and worth-every-penny-and-more! I plan to hire At Home Tutoring Service again when my next child is ready to apply to college.

Stephen is incredibly responsive and a great communicator; he makes setting up tutoring session as easy as buying from Amazon. Moreover, the exceptional set of tutors employed here and the warm and inviting space make my daughter (who is more social than bookish) want to go to her tutoring sessions. Here are the details of our experience: When I first reached out to General Academic to try to obtain a tutor, I was desperate to find my daughter help. I had already tried another tutoring service -- a nonprofit that came highly recommended - that had charged me the cost of one session as a nonrefundable "processing" fee and then provided a tutor that ignored both what my daughter said she needed help with and then what I said my daughter needed help with. After flushing hundreds down the drain, I tried General Academic. Stephen returned my phone call within a half hour of my first inquiry, asked for details about my daughter's personality and then matched her with a tutor who turned out to be a perfect fit. My daughter learns more in one hour with her tutor than she does a week in school. My daughter has been using the same tutor on a weekly basis for the 2018-2019 school year. My daughter's tutor sends me an email after every session, describing what was covered in the session. Cancelling, rescheduling and billing has been seamless. This morning, I reached out to Stephen desperate again. Another of my daughter's teachers who regularly doesn't teach during class was refusing to answer the kids' questions, saying that the kids should already know the material from an earlier lesson! Facing a test on Thursday and finding no youtube videos online that covered the material she needed to learn, my daughter asked this morning if she could have a tutoring session tonight or tomorrow to help her prepare for an exam set for two days from today. I reached out to Stephen and within minutes he had (1) offered the study lounge as a day-of solution; and (2) agreed to look for someone who could also provide a one on one session tomorrow after school. The study lounge option is fantastic!!! The tutor monitoring the study lounge session was able to teach my daughter what her teacher had failed to teach, and the tutor was warm and welcoming. He did such a good job and was so friendly that my daughter felt comfortable enough to ask him questions about another subject that was much more obscure. (The first subject was a core science. The second subject was religion.) The tutor helped her with that homework, too! My daughter is so happy with this service that she welcomes and is sincerely appreciative of the opportunity to go and get help. She says the vibe is great, and everyone she encounters is nice. While the service is not cheap, the pricing is very competitive; there are so many more options that are way more expensive. Indeed, from what I have experienced, the service is a bargain given the credentials and effectiveness of the tutors employed here.

The tutor was not helpful, only providing generic tips and tutoring. Nothing was tailored for my child unless I asked for it. Nothing was assigned to be worked on between sessions. It was only when we asked were we told we could work on some assessments if we wanted. Even then, we had to ask to go over them and discuss what was missed. My child's scores actually went down after 3 months of tutoring. He gained nothing from this experience. Would not recommend.

I've taken the course twice thanks to Veritas and their no hassle attitude for taking the course…read moreagain for any reason within 1 calendar year. I took the course both times with Mark Alan Robinson. Initially I was steadfast with my engineering "must-solve" mentality and didn't get out of the course as much as I potentially could have 1st time around. The second time was completely different, I took to Marks "unorthodox" approach to viewing problems and solutions to not only make the GMAT more fun, but also taught me the values that CEO's carry with them at all times, but most interestingly, these values were simple enough for a 6 year old to understand. He is very knowledgeable and is very easily accessible outside of class, especially for such a busy individual. His examples usually revolve around people or instances and these tend to stick a lot better than conventional teaching methods (for me personally at least). I highly recommend anybody looking for help with the GMAT to look out for his class. The only thing I'd say is you need to patient and buy into his methods, they may frustrate you initially, but in the longer run, are very valuable information and practices.

A little background of where I was coming from before I met Mark: A year prior, I had gone through…read morenumerous classes (in-class, online), drained hours of studying, and learned other people's methods, giving me a good grasp of concepts however, I was plateauing, specifically in verbal. ( V35, V36, V34, V30, V35....) My math has always been strong (47-49) but something subtle behind the way I was approaching verbal was setting me back. Mark taught me how to look at verbal like math by "decoding the matrix" and after taking 10 hours with him, I suddenly clicked. I feel that Mark's approach to teaching not only helped me look at the GMAT in a different light, but also helped by relating it to my everyday life, making it not as dull and monotonous to study. Mark is very energetic and very personable. He really dug in deep with my weaknesses and accessed how I approached the problems. Some things that he taught me are even applicable outside the GMAT. As mentioned, after I tried many resources and tutors, Mark was the one that finally unlocked my testing to V40. Highly recommend Mark Alan Robinson for private tutoring!
