My 2 older kids had tests this week and asked me to book sessions with the House so i called and they were able to set my daughter up with Silas and my son up with Emmy at the exact times I wanted. That alone is a win! We've used many of their tutors (Kyle and Young to name a few) at this point and they've said great things about all of them. Silas and Emmy were no exception and helped them review for their math tests. I also received notes from each of them a few days later recapping how the session went, which is super helpful for a parent. When my kids attend New Trier at the Winnetka campus I could see us resuming our membership, but in the meantime it's a great option for sporadic tutoring.

My daughter has had a wonderful experience at Mathnasium. We started because it became clear that…read moreshe was struggling in math and missing some foundational concepts. She was starting to dislike math and wanted to avoid it. While we were hopeful it would be helpful, her time at Mathnasium has exceeded our expectations. She has learned so much and at our most recent parent teacher conference her teacher said that she is excellent at Math and is understanding the material with ease. While we are thrilled with her academic progress, the most incredible part of the experience has been watching her build confidence in her math abilities. She now enjoys doing math homework and sees herself as "good at math". We are so grateful for Mathnasium as I am confident that they have helped change the trajectory of her relationship with math. They have created an environment that students enjoy. My daughter never complains about going, enjoys the tutors and always had fun. IIlan (the manager of the location) is wonderful. He is responsive, accessible and always willing to help. You can tell that he genuinely cares about the program. My daughter also thinks he is really nice which I am confident enhances her experience.

We're very grateful for the support that Mathnasium has provided and highly recommend this center to any parent whose child is struggling with math.

Chicago Academic has been a amazing for our family. We have three children who have worked with…read moretheir tutors. CA has brilliantly helped all of our children. My 7th grader works with an experienced, engaging executive functioning coach who has successfully improved his organizational and study skills. He's understands better how to study, plan and prepare. His teachers cannot believe how much better he is doing in class. These are the skills he will carry through high school. Our other son, a sophomore, is being helped in his AP Biology class by another brilliant tutor. The tutor is actually an M.D.! He is engaging, supportive and patient. Our son simply cannot wait for their meetings. Additionally, our oldest son, now at Duke University, completed CA's ACT test prep program two years ago. Their method and system are very well constructed. He worked extremely hard with his instructor and raised his score 6 points. I continue to be thoroughly impressed by CA's tutors, customer service and extremely professional staff. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high end boutique tutoring service.

He walked into Chicago Academics newest facility The House and was jealous that his brother had such an awesome place to do work and hang out. I would definitely recommend their services to anybody.

I am so impressed with the structure of Huntington's tutoring. I appreciate the fact that Huntington as provided space and time for the student to reflect on their teachers, the strategies they have learned, practice tests they have taken and the communication with parents. This is how results happen and how students find success! Not only is Huntington teaching students test taking strategies, but strategies that can use in college. For parents out there that will have students that will take the ACT or SAT, we highly recommend this place.

While they've called back, it has been an hour or two later, right in the middle of the classes that I teach. Since times and prices are not posted on the website, it is frustrating that I'm not able to get that information. I'm calling to learn about their SAT prep for my child, but this experience will make it unlikely that I'll recommend it to my students.

He is so knowledgeable and is someone I wish I would have found earlier in my application journey. I am so grateful for his support! I loved having the whiteboard and he always sends the PDF of the notes that you cover in class. Stefan makes everything super easy to understand and very accessible. If you don't understand it, he will try to flip the concept on its head and reteach it to you. He is super patient! This has been my favorite test prep experience. I have tried it all - Manhattan Prep and other test prep companies. I only wish I found him sooner.

He objectively evaluated our son's strengths and weaknesses, identified gaps--especially in quantitative skills--and worked closely with him to address those areas.

Stefan's professionalism and expertise made a real difference for our family. My wife and I would recommend him to anyone seeking high-level, personalized admissions guidance and GMAT prep.
