Janie, the director/founder of The Study Shack was very helpful and selected a great tutor for my son. The tutor was excellent. She was able to work on building up my sons skills and adapt lessons to suit his learning needs/styles. The Study Shack was a major part of my son's academic success and growth by the end of the year, and also resulted in his excellent state exam scores. They provided a great amount of information about my son's learning styles, the common core standards, and also introduced us to great study habits that we can apply to all subjects. I would highly recommend this company for your tutoring needs.

Well, the short answer is, look no further. You have found them right here. I hesitated for quite a while to find a tutor for my daughter. She is a great student but lacked confidence in math. Starting her freshman year at an academically challenging high school on Zoom was finally what pushed me to seek outside help. She was doing well but still felt like she didn't really "get it". I was looking for the lightbulb to switch on and Alexander Tutoring is doing just that. They believe, as I do, that math is doable and is not impossible. The key is confidence. They believe there is often a "moment" where a normally confident kid suddenly feels like they "can't do math". A bad grade, a bad teacher, and an embarrassing moment. They work to undo that in a supportive, constructive environment. They are well priced, extremely flexible, and have a large enough staff so your kid can find the tutor with whom they jive. They have been doing remote before the pandemic and have it down to a science. And it's one on one tutoring. We love this program and am so happy we found them!

I enjoyed that their group session is a 6:1 ratio (students to teacher). I see progress after each of the session and is in disbelief that hes able to answer complex puzzles and verbal questions. While the material is a lot of hard work. I see that he enjoys and even look forward to attending his "puzzle school" each weekend. Ms Maxine is a delight and all teachers geniuely care about the student's well-being and progress. During the last session, Ms Maxine provided me a list of helpful tips which helped in prepping him for the test. And, the entire staff always answer my questions promptly through email. Irrespective of the outcome of the score, I think my son walked away with knowledge (logic, vocabulary, critical thinking, etc) which he can easily applied toward his future studies.

Genius Prep was described to me as Kumon meets Chuck e Cheese. I'd say that's an accurate…read moredescription (and a million dollar idea). Lance, the founder, is not only an engaging and potent math teacher (and I say this after blowing through 5 math teachers in an attempt to find "the one" for my teenage daughter), but he is goal oriented and authoritative. He was the first teacher who had a plan and told ME how and when he was going achieve the goals. So far we are on target. I am referring to Lance as a teacher as opposed to a tutor because I believe there is a distinction. A tutor helps students with what they don't understand in school (or to prepare for a test). A teacher goes beyond "tutoring" and knows WHAT needs to be taught and has efficient and varied methods and a curriculum. A great teacher is much harder to find than a great tutor. The closest comparison to Genius Prep is Kumon. Both are what I refer to as "after schooling" or "caulking." They go beyond "tutoring/homework help" and are intended to shore up foundational skills to the point of automaticity (not something most schools do). Kumon moves a student up to the next level after the student passes a test to prove mastery (speed and accuracy). Lance tests for mastery too. My daughter must achieve an 85% or higher on the state exam before he'll move her along to the next level. Hallelujah. I don't want to hear from my daughter that she gets it. I want to see the results...from a test. I'm a huge fan of Kumon and somehow managed to convince my teenage son to do 20 minutes of Kumon worksheets for an entire year (and he had his best math year ever), but there wasn't a lot of "fun" involved; there was a lot of whining (him) and cajoling (me). Lance adds fun into the equation at Genius Prep. Half of the center is working space (i.e. quite rooms with desks) and the other half is a game room (think Chuck e Cheese). After students complete their work they can take a break and play fussball or video games or basketball, etc. What a novel idea! And there are prizes and snacks too (and do not underestimate the magic of this. I've heard my daughter refer to those juice boxes a surprising amount of times and she seems to be motivated by those little toys, which sort of surprised me). Sessions are 90 minutes long with a 10 minute break in the middle and are very reasonably priced. It's intense work but with a high level of joy. Incidentally, I believe "learning" can be fun too, though it's just hard to convince students of this because most have experienced so many un-engaging teachers that they don't believe it. My 16-year-old daughter actually likes going to Genius Prep to learn math. I never thought I'd write those words. I was shooting for "she'll do it without much complaining."
