Both my boys (twins) do well in math and we wanted them to enter 5th grade just as strongly as they finished fourth grade. We had 7 total sessions where they strengthened fourth grade skills, as well as worked on fifth grade. Both of them have said it would have been much harder if they didn't do the math with Mrs. Doman. We will absolutely be working again with Colleen this summer!

I have had two children go through tutoring at Premier College Prep and their results were…read moreincredible. Both made significant improvements in their ACT and SAT scores and we couldn't be happier. Dalton and Eric were knowledgeable, patient, and knew how to build confidence while teaching effective test-taking strategies. They personalized the sessions to focus on each child's strengths and areas of improvement, which made a huge difference. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about this company. From our first phone call with Eric after…read morediagnostic testing, we knew right away this was a company we could trust and felt confident they could help our son get his scores up. Eric was honest and knowledgeable. He wasn't pushy or arrogant which many in this field can be. He made us feel comfortable right away. Colin was our son's ACT tutor, and he was FABULOUS!! He got our sons ACT score up 9 points from his Pre-ACT!! He overdelivered on the goals they established at our initial call. Colin was a calming influence on our son. He was patient and took the time to get to know him to help our son feel at ease and comfortable. He was always available for a phone call to discuss progress and concerns with us too. He never wasted our time. He never tried to sell us more sessions that our son needed. He was always honest and respectful of time and cost. He was just as excited as we were with our son's final score. You can tell he really cares. We HIGHLY recommend Colin and this company overall!

I wanted to commend the writing teacher in your SAT class. My daughter moved up from Academic to…read moreAccelerated English this year so I was concerned about her ability to achieve in her English class due to the increased work level. But, after taking your SAT class, her English teacher has commented on the excellence of her writing and has used her written work as an example in the classroom on many occasions. Up until now, my daughter had not had that kind of experience in an English class. What an unexpected added value benefit from the SAT class! Thanks again for helping my daughter with both her SAT preparation and with her ability to excel at a new and increased level of course work in English. Meg Richboro, PA

I am thrilled to write a review to address and counter two negative reviews I just found while…read morerecommending Academic Access's services to yet more friends - after 100% of those that worked with Joan were as THRILLED as our family with their experience. Joan has a unique ability to develop separate authentic relationships with students and parents through her very genuine approach, straight-forward communication with a principled and effective approach honed by decades of experience. This also includes not shying away from having the difficult conversations not always easily received by children nor parents based on a wealth of experience and conducted with grace. The value of this unique skill can not be overstated and helps pave the way to a sometimes new and very necessary communication cadence within families as our children begin their journey to becoming truly independent adults. Academic Accesses approach is thoughtfully constructed with purposeful nuance in every facet of the work. I particularly love the essay writing team/writing muse/editorial process. It gave me the confidence to not dig into my children's essays which would have resulted in them being MY essays - a situation admissions departments see straight through. With two very different children their final products were radically different and both made me weep providing a different type of opportunity to truly "see" my children in all their glorious blossoming independent ways. Our entire experience was a gratefully received gift that not only resulted in both of our children being admitted ED to their first choice schools (both schools that we as parents recommended, but our kids wanted nothing to do with until they heard that Joan also enthusiastically recommended these schools from her own purview) but quite literally saved our sanity during a process that due to very normally teenage growth cadence is naturally a combative time between parents and children. I will forever be grateful to Joan and her team. I 100% recommend without reservation and would happily talk to anyone at anytime.

Filling out college applications and writing essays is like a deep dive into something you've never…read moreexperienced before. Academic Access was the perfect choice to help our daughter successfully chart a course and navigate these deep waters. From the beginning - Joan's familiarity with an enormous range of different schools helped our daughter to discover schools that checked all the boxes of things she wanted in a school, providing her with schools she'd not even considered. Throughout the process, Joan and her team were there every step of the way - providing guidance, instilling confidence, and helping our daughter find just the right unique and interesting essay information to share for a strong application and a positive outcome. The stress that comes with applications was minimized by having experts available whenever she had questions or needed help. The most valuable part (to me as a parent), was that the experts were also able to guide her without sounding like a "critical parent", thus keeping peace in our home throughout the process. Joan and her team kept our daughter on track with application deadlines, while keeping stress levels at a very comfortable level, and our daughter was accepted and now attends one of her top two choices. Since our experience with Academic Access, I have recommended Joan to at least 7 or 8 friends (I've lost count!) whose students have all had similar experiences with great outcomes! Thanks Joan! Working with you was one of the best decisions we've ever made.

SLA is progressive. one of a kind. im excited about what the future holds for my boy and thank SLA for giving him an advantage most are not lucky enough to have.

My daughter had been struggling with math since 7/8th grade but always managed a C+/B+ on her…read morereport card. When she entered 9th grade her grade and self esteem plummeted to an all time low. We were at a loss. After all, since 7th grade we had spent so much money on expensive tutors and programs (Sullivan, Kumon etc). Nothing was sticking and we were desperate. As a last ditch effort we signed up for Cherry Hill Mathnasium. So we scheduled an evaluation and made our way over the bridge from Philadelphia. It was only a short 20 minute drive and the free parking more than made up for it. I mean, I live in Center City Philadelphia which means driving around for at least 20 minutes to snag a metered spot. Still, my only thought was "Please let this be worth it". Once there we met Nathan, Brian and the whole crew. They explained the program in detail. The hours were flexible, rates were reasonable and everyone was nice enough. So, we gave it a shot and I enrolled my daughter in group classes. As it urned out she was more comfortable with private lessons. We were hesitant to switch over at first because we had already paid for a month of group classes. Nathan (without us even asking) was very kind to give a credit for our unused balance so that Talia could start her private lessons immediately (fun fact: their private lessons are VERY affordable). I was more than pleased with my decision. The instruction is top notch. I could tell my daughter was getting instruction from true professionals who love their jobs, have mastered their craft and who never lose sight of their passion - to awaken and maximize every child's inner math genius - . Long story short, my daughter went from a 58 to an 83 in Alg1 in ONE marking period. All I can say is thank GOD I found Cherry Hill Mathnasium! This is hands down the best tutoring in Philadelphia / New Jersey area!
