Tutoring is not really a super exciting thing to review - that being said, as a parent that's…read moreexperienced good tutoring (ie: Higher Standards) and bad (they shall remain nameless), there's definately a difference. Higher Standards created an environment that allowed my daughter to learn effectively and actually show improvement (sounds like a pretty standard thing - but, there's the "other" place that didn't deliver). Convenience is also a factor they excell in - once, after my daughter left her books after a session, they showed up (after hours) to make sure I could get the books before school the next day. If your kids need tutoring - give them a call!

I went into Higher Standards' SAT course practically kicking and screaming. I wasn't convinced that…read morethey could increase my score enough to be helpful, and I really didn't want to buy into the College Board bureaucracy. However, when I arrived in class, Devon made learning about mundane grammar and mathematics into an entertaining experience through jokes and puns. I ended up enjoying the SAT class and got an almost 300 point increase on my score. This would not have been possible without the help of Devon and everyone else at Higher Standards.

We have had great success with this program. My daughter went from not knowing her multiplication…read morefacts in 5th grade to pre-algebra in 6 months! They completely master concepts before moving on to the next. Yes, it is an incentive based program (earning stars for prizes), but we figured out that what's my particular kid needed. I will say that at first, your kid will be upset at the assessment test. A kid behind in math might hate it because it makes them feel "dumb" and beg not to go back. As an adult, we know it is set up to be hard, to find out where you stand and where you need the help. Try to push through this if you can! There is light at the end of the tunnel. My kid went from hating and avoiding math for almost 3 years, to asking when she can go next. She is now so confident in math at school and proud of her knowledge, even helping others. I never thought that would happen. However, I believe you will need to go regularly and stay committed to your sessions to see the progress we did, which is up to you (you make your schedule - weekends included). Maybe you can't do other activities for a bit to get up to speed. That was a hard sacrifice for my kid, and the program isn't inexpensive. But the tutors are all math and engineering students from local schools, and Carol (owner) a strong partner in my kid's education, so I really believe it's money well-spent.

Richard hires people who are not capable of teaching. I have no idea where he finds these people but for what you're paying, their services are not worth it. I can honestly say after 5 classes I haven't learned nothing and do not feel better prepared for the SAT, which is the only reason I payed for this tutoring service. Would not recommend to anyone. You're better off sticking with the big name companies (Kaplan, etc.).

Hrag is the most helpful math teacher I've ever had. I first had him as a TA freshman year at UCSC…read morewhere I was immediately struck by how he could relate to anyone in the room and made the material engaging and graspable in a way I never experienced in lectures with a professor. So when I went on to have less than stellar TA's and professors and failed my last required calc class for my degree, I sought out Santa Cruz Tutoring. Hrag prepped me for the final and this time I passed! He is personable, knowledgable, and helped so much with my confidence going into the exam. He has a way of disarming really complex material which was perfect for someone like me who can be easily intimidated when I get stuck in a problem. Cannot recommend Santa Cruz Tutoring enough!
