Great, caring tutors. Fantastic results!…read more My daughter ("M") loved the math tutor she had from 8th through 11th grade, but, come 12th grade, M decided to take "Honors Physics with Calculus" and "Honors Statistics" at the same time. She also wanted to bring up her math SAT score. Concerned that keeping up with M's classes would require too much work, her tutor recommended she switch to FusionMath (based here in Seattle). If you visit their website, you will see bios of all their current tutors. However, when I emailed the company to explain the situation, I said it would be great to get some recommendations from within the list. Mark Batho, the owner, emailed me back within 24 hours introducing himself and inviting me to speak on the phone, which we did shortly thereafter. He started out as a tutor himself, and it was clear from the start he was a very smart man and a highly committed educator. Although he said he had multiple tutors that could handle the job, he did recommend two, both of which were PhD candidates at UW in physics. M started with one shortly thereafter. They hit it off fabulously and M got A's in both of her honors math classes. Moreover, she raised her Math SAT score from 670 up to 730. M's tutor was personable, highly capable, and able to schedule evening and weekend hours, so M could do theatre in the afternoon after school. The owner, Mark Batho, is a delightful man and really seemed to care about how well M did. In total, I very strongly recommend FusionMath. (Fwiw, Mr. Batho also owns Uplift Writing - a writing tutoring company!)

Their sessions were centered on strategy and learning how to organize and develop good study habits and while content teaching was a part of it, our son's growth into a confident student was the most important benefit. The last session with Jason is next week. Our son will be graduating from Ballard High School next Wednesday (with straight As) and in fall he is starting at UW Engineering - majoring in MechEng and Industrial Design. My husband and I are very grateful to Greg and Jason for all the support in last 4+ years. It was really great to know that even though our sone would not really listen to us, Jason will likely get through him and point him in the right direction. It was wonderful to work with NWES. finding them was one of the luckiest accidents!

Grades have gone up for both of them and they are now A/B students taking honors/IB classes. The staff is very flexible on scheduling, and will add additional days to tutor if tests are coming up. My older son tried to get help from his Geometry teacher after school but there was a line of students waiting at her desk for help and it was a huge waste of time. Once he was able to tutor at Highline Tutoring Center he went up from a D to a high B. Our school district is too poor for mathbooks so teachers were using handouts to teach Math but that is a funding problem in Washington State. Highline Tutoring and Testing Center in Burien is great!

My son has attended this co-op preschool for about a year, and he gets so much out of it. I love…read morethat it meets on Saturday mornings, which means his dad can attend with him. It is so awesome to see pics of my two guys building ramps together or cuddling during story time, and my fella really loves seeing our son grow and change along with the other kids in the class. The second thing I adore about our class is the talent: our teacher, Monica, is actually an opera singer, and she brings her beautiful singing to every circle time. Anyone who's heard a group of parents droning along to a song knows what a blessing a gifted teacher can be. Monica also provides a very laid back, attachment friendly style. When my son was scared of one of the circle time routines, she altered the practice to help him adjust, and she came up with clever ideas to help ease him into the routines of preschool. We also have a gifted "parent educator" who doesn't cram education down our throats but offers ad hoc support, tips and understanding. Third pro is the mixed ages. Any kid 1 - 3 years old can enroll. The bigger kids learn sibling skills and get to show off for the littler ones, and the younger ones get to copy bigger kids. It's a fascinating process to observe how fast the little ones learn. Finally, I love that I feel comfortable and at home in our class. The class doesn't operate along gender lines, which makes it feel queer friendly. The other parents who attend with their kids are friendly and open. Our teacher has a lot to do with that atmosphere. Cons? As I see it, this preschool's only flaw is that the co-op is perhaps too laid-back about organizing, which means we hover on the brink of under-enrollment. In short, I couldn't recommend our Saturday preschool more. Even though my own son is close to aging out, I hope the class will continue for many more years because it is so wonderful.

The stars of the show are the wonderful teacher Monica and Parent Educator Glenn. They are immensely wise and talented and gifted teachers.

We'll be sad to age out (though it won't be for a while) . . . hopefully by then the age range will be expanded so our son can continue to have fun being part of this community.

My kid was not struggling with anything per se, more looking for more, way more. And more she got - she got inspiration, motivation to study harder and to dig deeper in ever lasting conquer of knowledge. She also got a role model, in someone like Sarah, who academically achieved a lot, and was willing and able to share it throughout hundreds of high schoolers looking for something special, for some extra boost. Many people have a lots of knowledge, but the mastery lies in ability to effectively pass it on to others. This is where Sarah excels, as she had always found extra time to explain individually things that some of the folks were not able to grasp during regular group session. Her mission is that every and each one of her students becomes successful and she's been accomplishing it for years now. She covers a teaching palette such as ACT/SAT prep, college counseling, as well as math and science tutorings. We heard about Sarah through a word of mouth [TY Sheila-we owe you forever] but I am writing this review so that other parents feel more at ease when making a decision to send their kids on this journey. Our older one just got admitted to a University of her choice, and you will be seeing us again in four years with the younger one.
