We offer tutoring in most subjects from Middle School through College, with subject expertise ranging from 7th grade English to Advanced Quantum Mechanics. We specialize in SAT, ACT, and GRE exam preparation. We believe that effective instruction does not (and can not) take place in crowded, flourescently-lit classrooms or in factory-inspired tutoring centers. It happens in one-on-one conversation over hot tea and a pastry. So, our tutors meet students where they feel most comfortable: online, at a local cafe, a library, or in their own living rooms- we'll even bring the tea! Contact us today for a free consultation!

Avoid Jim Clarke at all costs! We hired him as a long-term tutor for our kids, he asked $3,000 and…read morewe paid him his asking rate, with no receipt given. He started tutoring them, although he was often late and often cut their lessons short. Then, he suddenly disappeared. Repeated calls, texts, and emails went unanswered. Finally, when we physically found him, he promised to resume tutoring our kids via Zoom, but this never happened. Multiple subsequent emails and attempts to make contact again went unanswered. Please be warned, if you are thinking about hiring him, please think twice! He is very unreliable!

Beyond teaching the material, he shared practical strategies to approach problems and succeed on test day. I was able to improve my SAT score from 1370 to 1540, something I couldn't have imagined before working with him. His teaching style is engaging, patient, and always tailored to your needs. If you're looking for an SAT tutor who genuinely cares about your success, Chris is the one to choose!   From mom: As a mom of six, I have used many tutors, and I cannot recommend Chris at Summit enough. When my son was paired with Chris, Chris immediately contacted me to explain his approach. We had a wonderful, unrushed conversation. Chris clearly communicated with me after each meeting. My son said that Chris not only helped him drastically improve his score from a 1370 to a 1540 but also helped him understand and appreciate math. Chris is incredibly competent but also incredibly kind. My son shared that Chris was always cheerful and avoided criticism but challenged him appropriately. My son said that he was one of the best teachers that he had had. Margaret who was our contact person at Summit was incredibly helpful and supportive. I cannot praise this company enough! My son will be attending Harvard in the fall. Summit helped make his dream a reality. We will be using Summit for our next five children. Thank you Margaret and Chris!

I called to try to get a refund or at least convert the sunken cost to one on one tutoring, but they said no. The most they would do was give me a $300 credit, but I would have to pay $200 to use it.

Although our child is considered "highly gifted," she has struggled with focusing, following directions, transitioning, and appropriate school behavior. When it comes to teaching, one-on-one tutoring has been the best method for her. One hour a week is sufficient to supplement her regular schooling, which makes it easier for her school instructors to teach. Sylvan provides Positive Reinforcement, effectively encouraging children to enjoy learning. Students are rewarded with tokens for good work that are exchanged for prizes from the student store. My daughter always leaves happy and appreciates the gifts she earns for her hard work. Positive reinforcement gives students confidence and a sense of pride. I highly recommend Sylvan for students who need extra support, need a little more challenge if they're bored at school, or who would like to have an edge in class.

I then read the copious amount of documents on-line, added my credit card and had but one question prior to hitting the last button at which moment they would have had my money.

It's great to see her completing homework with more ease and greater speed just from the tutoring.

Her tutor, Matthew, comes with a great deal of math and teaching experience (I believe other subjects as well) and has a gentle manner and nice energy than goes well with kids.

HSA tutoring is a fraudulent service…read more Dont be blindsided by how they market themselves on the website as being top tier Harvard students or the fact they only employ the best for tutoring. which is a lie they employ any homeless person and brand them as high achieving Harvard students. The reality is they employ individuals who don't care about tutoring. An even less about you as the client. All the agency is interested in taking money from clients. I failed my assignment after taking up a tutoring service with HSA. Yes you heard right failed. Yet they claim they are Harvard rising stars. I was assigned a tutor a month before my assignment was due which was very reasonable. however, the tutor they assigned me didnt respond to my emails for weeks and only contacted me couple of days before my assignment was due to fit me in at 8pm at night. What a complete joke of a service !!! Honestly HSA is a con, stay well away from this place, other wise you will be deceived. Take your kid to a reliable tutoring service !

Did an outstanding job of listening to all feedback and making any needed adjustments, and the one time an online session was required due to scheduling, everything went super smoothly. Iman especially is outstanding! Our daughter made great strides working with her, getting through tons of material, honing testing skills, and building the kind of confidence that can really make or break the big day. She's amazing at giving day and week of prep advice above and beyond pen and paper. Thanks for all your hard work, HSA Tutoring!
