Chris helped my son improve his SAT score by an impactful 90 points (+40 verbal and +50 math). In my son's words: "Chris' difference is that he coaches for a mindset edge.

He has his method down to a science." We truly enjoyed Chris' personality and expertise and are extremely gratified by the outcome.

I signed up for Teachers Test Prep ready to conquer the Multiple Subject CSET exams like a brave…read moreeducational gladiator. I sharpened my pencils, brewed some coffee, and prepared to dive into the sea of knowledge. Instead, I found myself caught in a high-speed PowerPoint tsunami captained by someone who seemed less like a teacher and more like a caffeinated NASCAR driver on a mission to finish her slides before lunch. I've been through undergrad, grad school, even Coast Guard Captain's school -- I've learned how to navigate storms, both literal and academic -- but nothing prepared me for this. This wasn't a class; it was a pedagogical purge. Let's talk about the math section. Now, math has never been my strong suit -- which is why I was here. But this teacher flew through the material so fast, I wasn't sure if I was in a classroom or watching the math portion of Jeopardy! on 3x speed. I was trying to take notes, truly! But by the time I wrote one sentence, she was already three slides ahead and possibly in a different time zone. At no point did she ask, "Any questions?" Not once. Which, fun fact, is kind of a cornerstone of actual teaching. When I politely raised my virtual hand to ask what a term meant, she said -- and I quote -- "Just look it up." Moments later, when I shared I was feeling completely lost, she hit me with the inspiring words: "Just try to keep up." Ma'am, I was trying. I was trying harder than a cat in a bathtub. But at some point, even I had to admit that the only learning happening here was the realization that this was a very expensive way to feel dumb. In the end, I had to leave the class. Not because I gave up, but because the teacher seemed to have already given up before she even logged in. Final thoughts? I highly recommend Teachers Test Prep... reconsider what the word "teacher" means. Maybe swap it out with "Slide Presenter Who Can Break the Sound Barrier." Could be more accurate.

SAVE YOUR MONEY! I purchased the CPACE course, and it was so poor that I had to buy another program…read moreto get what I needed. The Teachers Prep course materials are presented by an "instructor" reading a PowerPoint with information that can all be found for free on the internet. While there are two practice tests with feedback videos ONLY for the multiple-choice questions, there are no interactive activities or additional practice questions embedded in the course. After purchasing another program from EVO Prep, I learned more valuable information in an hour than I did with weeks of study on Teachers Test Prep.

It was in Nursery School where the teachers brought to my attention that my younger son Aidan…read moreneeded support in school. Once he started elementary school, his kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Chavez mentioned that he needed additional support. At that time, they did not know what the issues were. My thoughts were that he was too young for the grade but having a twin sister and she was advanced, I could not hold him back one year. My son struggled in school until I met Shannon Mulligan, owner of Marin Tutors. From the very beginning that I asked for help, Shannon took the time to provide the support that my son needed always paring him with excellent tutors that were compatible with my son's personality and their teaching techniques were always easy for my son to understand those math equations. Marin Tutors were common to see them at home, once or twice a week, every time that I came from work. From elementary school, up to his Senior year. Aidan recently graduated from San Rafael High School, Class 21, and he was accepted at the University of Nevada - Las Vegas. In August, my husband Bradd, Aidan, and I drove to Las Vegas to settle him at the dorms of UNLV. It took us a few days to help him settle in his new stage in life, College. While we were helping to settle Aidan in his dorm, he expressed his excitement about his new college life, and he shared with us: "I can't believe that I am here right now, it is pretty exciting"... That really touched me, because automatically I went back in time, to those moments where he was filled with frustration for not being able to understand his math problems, all those moments that he felt "something was wrong with him" and being rescued by all those hours of tutoring with Marin Tutors. The truth is, that he is where he is right now, at UNLV thanks to Marin Tutors. He could not do it, or I could not help him (the math of nowadays is not my strength) without the help and support of Shannon Mulligan and all her excellent tutors that spent time with my son, one on one. To Shannon Mulligan, Marin Tutors, and all those college students that joined Marin Tutors thru the school years of my son, thank you for all your time, dedication, passion, patience, and knowledge. Thank you for all you contributed to helping my son Aidan. We would always be so grateful about it, and you would always be a part of my son. I guarantee you that!... Marin Tutors and Shannon Mulligan are simply the best! -Mirsonia
