We've had a great experience with Matt for my high school son's geometry class. He has been…read moreexcellent at explaining concepts in a way that really makes sense. My son's math teacher at school sometimes explains things in a way that confuses him, but Matt is able to break everything down clearly and make sure he truly understands the material. He's also been very flexible with scheduling, which we really appreciate with a busy high school schedule. Most importantly, my son genuinely likes working with him and feels much more confident in geometry because of the extra help. We're very grateful for Matt's support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a patient, effective math tutor.

He…read moreconstantly went above and beyond, even emailing me constantly with last minute personalized tips the night before my APUSH exam. He helped me go from getting my first bad semester grade in AP World first semester to getting an A the 2nd semester and a 5 on the exam. He was so good that i went back to him for APUSH, helping me score straight As and a 5 on that exam as well. He personally asked me what I needed specifically to improve and gave me tons of practice resources that we went through together and i got so used to the exam question types that It helped me with every other AP I've taken since then. He truly cares about his students!

"It takes a village to raise a child" and Lafayette Academy was a part of that village in our…read morehousehold. Weekly tutoring, college counseling, and ACT/SAT prep is why our three children attended Lafayette Academy from the beginning of high school through graduation. The math tutoring was the "extra" they needed to thoroughly grasp the lessons and excel on their tests. In addition, Kathy and Mark Bressler made college planning and ACT/SAT prep successful for our kids by keeping them on track and motivated. Our children attended UC Berkeley, UC Davis and Saint Mary's College; the latter two awarded large academic scholarships. We know they would not have had that level of success without the Bresslers' knowledge, dedication and experience, in partnership with their team of professional tutors at Lafayette Academy.

Her broad range of tutors were available to support all the needed subjects. She supported them developing necessary study skills, time managing their assignments, navigating all their AP classes, and even helped them with SAT/ACT prep. Having the tutors come to our house really cut down on travel/scheduling challenges. All the tutors give monthly updates/progress reports and are available for extra support during finals weeks. Would encourage any student or parent looking to support their student to give Andrea a call.

We had a private tutor for years, but once my child hit her current grade level the private tutor was no longer able to assist. So I searched tutors far and wide across Lamorinda.

We have also had another tutor within this company when our girl was ill and she too was wonderful! Also the communication with the owner is always great.

The process for understanding who your child is, who your family is, what is at the core of the need, and adjusting and checking in along the way are beyond compare. I am an educator, and worked with many tutors and tutoring services over many years, and these folks, with Emily at the mast, really find a unique and effective balance. They have a no nonsense approach, are goal oriented, target with professional skills, and have a human approach. They know how to meet families and kids where they are, wont shy from giving advice, and they really know the landscape of all the different schools in the area, even down to the curriculum expectations; they know students they serve well. This experience of local schools alone is a huge experiential leg up. I am an elementary educator, but they helped me with my two very different high school kids journeys. I am VERY confident they can do it all, K-12! This place is the BEST!

Everyone we worked with -- Ariel, Joel, Mel -- was professional, thoughtful, and connected well with our daughter. They built trust with our teenager, coached her throughout the process (school selection, test prep and essay writing), listened to her and evolved their recommendations as they got to know her. The bottom line: Reduced stress in the process and (we firmly believe) better results in admissions and financial aid offers than our daughter would have achieved without their help.
