Great teachers Liz (Reading/Writing) and Iris (Math) -- wonderful, supportive, kind, relatable. Our child did already start with a pretty decent SAT score, so our initial consultation discussed how to improve meaningfully in this scenario; with Elite's customized help our child hit a home run... leaving us with the sad thought that we wouldn't be seeing this super team again!

I enrolled my child in SAT tutoring expecting a structured, consistent, and professional…read moreexperience. Unfortunately, it was anything but. Scheduling regular, consistent sessions was incredibly difficult. We went through THREE different English tutors, experienced THREE tutor cancellations, and despite paying for in-person tutoring, were forced to conduct some sessions online due to tutor availability. The constant changes in teachers, cancellations, and scheduling challenges made it nearly impossible to establish any continuity or momentum in my child's SAT preparation. SAT tutoring is time-sensitive, and consistency is critical. Instead, we were left feeling that neither my child's education nor our family's time was valued. What makes this even more frustrating is the mandatory nine-session commitment. Do yourself a favor and think twice before signing up for the required nine sessions. I deeply regret making that commitment. For a service that is supposed to help students prepare for such an important exam, I expected far more professionalism, reliability, and accountability. An awful experience for our family and a huge disappointment all around. I would not recommend this tutoring school.

During those nine weeks, not once was he actually given an actual simulated exam under actual testing conditions.

Now my son is trying to cram in a one month course what he was suppose to learn in 3 month. Absolute thumbs down with Compass in Beverly Hillls.

The threats are scary and I honestly believe they should be stopped."

Finding a tutor in Los Angeles was much more complicated than I expected. As someone who values…read moreeducation I did not want to hit a tutor for someone in my family without doing my best to ensure they were the perfect tutor for the job. I searched high and low (including online tutoring sites that let you choose your tutor) the outcome was fruitless.  Tutors who swore to have years of experience either were not as familiar with the material as they claimed or could not eloquently TEACH it. Also, the companies that charged ridiculous amounts like $150/hr did not show much for it. I know this because when trying Tutor Me LA, I also hired another tutor from a high-end tutoring company and Tutor Me LA's tutor was not only cheaper but MUCH MORE proficient.  We needed a few tutors - A gmat tutor, LSAT tutor, and a Math tutor. EVERY SINGLE tutor Tutor Me LA sent over was great. Their Guarantee took any hesitancy we had about scheduling a session and now I see why. This place offers outstanding service and their tutors are just fantastic.  Do your research. Make sure you find a tutor that can commit. Call this place first :)

He was having issues with understanding a couple of important parts. According to my son, Dylan was patient in hearing him out, and then clearly explained the process of how to identify and work out the equations. My son said that Dylan was of great help. He took his test today with confidence as he could easily spot which problems were of "excluded" and "extraneous" values. Over the years Danny's has always connected us with enthusiastic and knowledgeable tutors. We've always appreciated his consistently affordable pricing, as it allows us to reach out for help whenever needed without hesitation. We highly recommend using his service.

After taking the GRE for the first time and not scoring to the level that I was looking for, I was…read morerecommended by a close friend to seek a private tutor through Twainstein. This could not have been a better choice, as working with Avi Lidgi proved to be what I needed to take the next step in improving my score. After working with Avi for three sessions (three weeks), I was able to improve my GRE score by 13 points (V158 Q159 to V166 Q164) into the 90th%s. While the resources and study materials were certainly useful, Avi's expertise on GRE-style questions and strategy for approaching these questions were invaluable in improving my score beyond what I could have done myself in this short period of time. Many of the questions that I considered highly difficult became simplified and approachable under his tutelage. During the test, this saved me many precious minutes to check my logical reasoning in both the verbal and quantitative sections. As such, I highly recommend Twainstein to any individuals or groups seeking improvement in their GRE test scores. The test is an excellent opportunity to anyone seeking to advance their education, and this test preparation organization offers an exciting way to achieve even greater success.

TLDR; Twainstein was quite possibly one of my greatest finds on Yelp. Highly recommend for GRE…read moretutor services. Money well spent. Over the past year I decided to pursue a career change that would require taking the GRE (/ hiring a tutor) and getting accepted to grad school. Being budget conscious, the first thing I noticed was that Twainstein's services weren't cheap, in fact they were wayyy out of my price range. However after doing some research, reading some reviews, having a pressure-free consult with Avi, and deciding that the best investment I could make was in my education, I made the leap. Best. Decision. Ever. Over the course of a month and half, Avi and I worked together to improve my confidence and test-taking strategy/abilities (Dare I say i'm no longer afraid of fractions?). He was patient, observant and tailored our sessions to my needs. I put in a lot of effort inside and outside of our sessions, and he did the same for me. I also really appreciated his routine checkins, his availability, speedy email responses, and his comprehensive approach to the exam. If you are slow to learn, have a LD like myself, or just lack the confidence, please don't let that deter you from taking the exam! You can achieve your goal score like I did with hard work and proper guidance, which is why I highly recommend Avi and his team.

What I loved most was getting feedback from different teachers each week - they all brought unique ideas to the table and helped me make my essays much better. One thing that really helped was how organized A1 was with deadlines. They laid out a clear schedule that made sure we finished everything way ahead of time, which took away so much stress. My monthly meetings with the counselors, Ryan and Esther, were amazing - they helped me figure out which schools to apply to, what major would be the best fit, and how to tell my story through my essays. I also worked closely with Maddie teacher on my resume and UC activity list. She helped me make sure I included all my important experiences and achievements in the best way possible. Even though I ended up getting into NYU through early decision (which meant I didn't need my other applications), I'm so glad I had everything ready to go well before the deadlines for any outcome that could have happened. Looking back, I wouldn't be where I am today without A1's help. The teachers really cared about my success, and they gave me all the tools and support I needed to put together strong applications. I'm really grateful for all their help!

Noelle has a remarkable ability to connect with students, identify exactly where they're struggling, and make challenging concepts feel relatable.

Overall, I felt unsatisfied with my level of prep following my Princeton course. It wasn't until I started working with The MCAT Code (Sam) that I started to see a REAL change in my ability to take the exam. To be specific, I have seen more than a 10 point jump from my prior score to my practice exam scores. Sam held me accountable for prioritizing my specific weaknesses in my review and assigned personalized homework assignments everyday. In addition to Sam being very knowledgeable about EVERY subject on the MCAT, he also served as a pre-med mentor to assist in other aspects of the application process. Overall, the quality of tutoring from The MCAT Code has surpassed my prior expectations of a test prep company. The highly targeted approach toward each student is the key to unlocking each students' full MCAT potential. Bottom line: The best MCAT prep tutoring that targets weaknesses
