I feel lucky that we have found Sandra!

My daughter has an IEP and gets daily pull-outs for help at school, but her doctor suggested that we also supplement with tutoring. Before my daughter started tutoring, she was very frustrated and didn't even want to try to read. Now she is confident and excited to read, and not afraid to try. We are very happy with how her reading level has increased since we started tutoring. ​My daughter has also increased her math skills. If you are looking for a tutor for your elementary-age child, I would highly recommend her.

It was obvious that I lacked both an effective strategy and correct mindset to tackle this very important component to my MBA application. Stuart was incredible. He's able to teach the GMAT in an easy digestible format. He tailored our sessions to tackle my weaknesses, showing me techniques that helped me save time and increase accuracy. Most of all Stuart was extremely encouraging and positive throughout our time together. It's obvious he cares about his students. For me that made all the difference. I was accepted to some exceptional programs and have enrolled at UNC Chapel Hill Kenan-Flagler Business School with a full tuition scholarship. I'm thrilled at my results and it's largely thanks to Stuart. I would recommend Simply Brilliant to anyone who is looking for GMAT success!

My daughter attended language immersion schools for 4 years (school taught 80-100% in a foreign…read morelanguage by native speakers) when we decided to homeschool. Our biggest concern with this choice was losing the years of language we had invested in our daughter and her losing a something she absolutely loved learning. We discovered chicle when exploring Carrboro and decided to write them about a possible group class for homeschoolers. I worked with Sara Biondi, their office manager, and she was able to organize a homeschool group class. However, the first day of class we were the only family in attendance as all the other families had decided to cancel at last minute. Sara and the Chicle team worked with us and our budget to find a tutor solution for our daughter. We now have daytime classes at Chicle twice a week with two different teachers, Alma Manso and Perla S. which provide a fun and diverse learning experience. We feel our daughter has grown her Spanish skills more this year tutoring with Chicle than spending her entire days at an immersion school. We have been very impressed with her progress!! We have been attending Chicle classes for almost a year now and it has been an all around fantastic experience. From the organized office manager to the awesome teachers to the convenient location. We feel blessed to have found this little jewel in Carrboro!!! Keep up the amazing work you are doing CHICLE!!!! :)

I really like how they tailor a class or lesson to your needs. If you know of several people who want to do a class they can set that up or put you in one that is already set up. They also do private tutoring which is what I am doing now after my teenage daughter and I did a group class together over the Summer. It's a little more expensive but for me having the personalized attention and ongoing interaction has been very helpful and worth the extra cost. I took Spanish in grad school and didn't learn as much as I am learning now. I really love my instructor, Pilar. She is good at drawing you out and giving you feedback real time to help you speak more fluently. She is also very personable and warm and entertaining. I had Perla once and she was very nice and got both my daughter and I to practice and we enjoyed her instruction style as well. They offer children's programs (though might be in the summer), study abroad experiences and translation services as well.
