I can't tell you how thrilled our family was with the services and supports we received during the…read morelast school year. After only a short period of tutoring (via Skype!!!) there was a marked turn around in our son's math performance. His final AND final grade jumped two marks. That's right... Two grades!!!! The coordinator was great completing an assessment of his levels of performance, reviewed plans from his teacher and identified someone suitable to his personality. I never expected such progress within that window of time. The price is more than reasonable based on what you receive... A continuous communication loop, top notch tutors, online reports, progress monitoring and current technology. Although we elected the Skype sessions based on our schedules, in-person is available. I forgot to mention group sessions online where you can get homework assistance on any subject matter. They also proof papers. One stop shopping in the comfort of your home. If you need a service and can carve out the resources for A+... Do it! Will we use them again? Yes, yes and yes! I always use yelp for things I'm searching for but have never written a review. A+ was that important.

The A+ Club and Michael Bromley have been the greatest academic help for me this past school year…read moreand summer. Keeping track of homework can be difficult especially with multiple higher level classes and extracurricular activities. The A+ Club's approach to studying habits and learning is very unique and goes past just basic organization and habit breaking. Mr. Bromley will even talk about different ways of learning and he's very experienced with what he does. Overall, their services are great, work well, and come at reasonable costs. One of the most important things about this service compared to others is the more personal approach, they are always more than happy to work with you and help you get to your goals. Thank you for everything!

I've completed up to level 10 at Lado and now I'm finally back to my career here in America. The staff was very helpful, the place was clean and the Teacher made it a smooth process even when I felt I was at the wrong level they gave me a chance to take an assessment test again, which I was able to score higher at the time and moved up.

While the English language learning is adequate, very supportive of students in class, and very…read moreencouraging as people learn, it is located very far from where most students live. This Yelp website has not been updated to reflect their move to Vienna, on the Spring Hill Metro on the Silver Line which is at least an hour and a half ride from Alexandria to the school out and back. The school does not place students in any kind of housing so those living in Maryland or N. Virginia have a long complicated commute. Beware of this before you pay for their classes.

Arlene is a great piano teacher -- for kids and adults. She is patient, understanding, goes at the…read morestudent's pace, adapts the lessons to meet the student's goals, and doesn't put undue stress and pressure on practicing. In other words, she doesn't scare the kids away by being strict and rigid. Students start playing simple songs right away, which gives them a sense of enjoyment, satisfaction, and fulfillment. Arlene teaches the Suzuki method. At $35 for a 30-minute lesson, her prices are very reasonable. HIGHLY recommend!

I've wanted to speak French with greater confidence and ease for several years. I looked for a…read moreteacher who could create a learning approach tailored to my goals, not simply use a "one size fits all" approach. I was so fortunate to find Melissa as she's been crafting interesting and fun lessons that have helped me gain greater confidence in speaking French. Melissa and her team are terrific and I continue expanding my skills thanks to them.

If Yelp had extra stars, I would give them all to Melissa. Honestly, there aren't enough words to…read moreexpress how highly I think of her and her teaching capabilities. I work in the field of international development -- where I am a trainer myself and where I work with trainers all the time. I can say without a doubt, Melissa is the best trainer and teacher I have ever come across. She has a real gift. Here are the reasons why: 1) Melissa can put you at ease right away. I knew very little French when I first met her and I was self-conscious about it. Melissa made me feel like I was talking to a best friend. She assured me that I was right where I needed to be for the moment and gave me all the tools and confidence I needed for the moments to come. She made me WANT to speak and WANT to learn. With her, an arduous task became pleasant. She made me feel at ease and capable of learning. 2) She didn't just help me improve during the hours we had class, but she also gave me the right resources to improve outside of class. One of those resources would have cost me hundreds of dollars if I would have purchased it myself, but Melissa gave it to me for free and taught me how to use it. The resources she provided increased my speaking level almost immediately and made French a daily habit for me. 3) Melissa meets you where you are. She can quickly assess your abilities and meet you there. She pushes you just enough. 4) Melissa is so incredibly pleasant. She's kind and she's responsive and she interacts like a friend. She makes you WANT to show up for lessons just to spend time with her, and that is a rare kind of person! 5) You improve! You improve QUICKLY! Before you know it, you are speaking French!!! Even if you are like me -- and you have been convinced all your life that you will never learn a language -- you actually end up learning and speaking! And Melissa celebrates alongside you. She takes joy in your progress! It all feels pretty magical. Simply put, I cannot recommend Melissa enough! She is worthy of all the stars and all the praise!

They've had my back through every step of my journey. Nafeez has been excellent as a GMAT instructor and he's really taken the pressure off of studying for the test. I highly recommend. P.S. Extra friendly to Veterans!

I think students could also benefit by being split into groups based on their learning styles/skill level/programs and fields of interest, but this may require more Sherpa tutors being staffed.
