Tyler was…read moreeffective in explaining concepts in a way that stuck for my son, enabling my son to earn an A on his final exam and improving his overall grade. The reason I'm writing the review is because in addition to being a great tutor, Tyler's friendly and approachable style was a great fit for my son, and he did an exceptional job in communicating with me. He seems to genuinely care about his tutees...he followed up after exams and AP testing to check in on how my son did. I 100% recommend AJ Tutoring and Tyler. Effective, and just good people.

Her explanations are concise but still super informative--she can literally summarize an entire unit in a day without it ever feeling rushed or overwhelming. For ACT prep, we only had about a month, and as someone who really struggles with standardized tests, she made the whole process finally make sense. With her strategies and support, I was able to raise my reading score from a 29 to a 35, which I honestly never thought was possible. AJ Tutoring as a whole is an amazing place. Everyone is kind, welcoming, and genuinely supportive, and they even think about the small details like snacks, which makes a big difference during long sessions. I couldn't recommend Dipti or AJ Tutoring more.

TL;DR - highly recommended: individualized attention, caring and knowledgeable, great results…read more Louise and her team were a Godsent. My son was struggling with his school work in 8th grade: he was disorganized and confused, and had such a backload of assignments he didn't know where (or how) to start. I tried for months to get him on track myself, helping him with his homework, preparing for quizzes and tests. Nothing seemed to work. In a moment of desperation I asked around for recommendations and a number of neighbors suggested Lumen Learning Center. I talked to Louise and she put my mind at ease. She worked with both my son and his school, and came up with a plan of action. With infinite patience she (and Melissa and Gabe) guided and taught him, and slowly things began to turn around. After months of hard work my son finally graduated from Middle School, thanks to Lumen Learning Center. Louise took a boy who was unmotivated and full of self-doubt, and prepared him for academic life in High School. I cannot recommend their services enough.

My daughter was extremely apprehensive about tutoring so when I mentioned this in our initial…read moremeeting, Louise assured me that she would be in good hands. She made an assessment of my daughter and based on her personality, matched her with Natalie. Natalie is one of the most outgoing people you will ever meet! She takes extra care working with my daughter, who has an extremely limited attention span. She makes herself available throughout the week via email, phone or text at no extra charge. She always puts in extra time for us and is extremely flexible with scheduling. In all, I am so glad I found this place. All of the tutors are friendly and they treat you like family! We tried a couple of other places before coming here and each one felt like a business. This place feels like home! They have good Wi-Fi via Xfinity and I can get work done while I wait. I highly recommend Lumen for their expertise and care.

I cannot recommend Anne's Beneventi's qualitative assessment highly enough. She keeps her rates…read morelow, and from what I hear from other families who have had their children tested by her, she is accurate in her assessment of IQ scores. She will also tell you whether your child will be a good fit for school or not. She is very highly respected in the gifted community. But the important factor in helping me figure out my gifted, "2e" child was her dead-on assessment of what needed to be done at the time. I had just pulled my son out of school to homeschool him and was in crisis as to how to teach him and address his needs. (I was told to address his handwriting by one professional, and given other confusing advice by others.) I was given a very helpful, clear and concise direction to go in by Anne. (In our case, committing to vision therapy (no matter how resistant he was!) and occupational therapy. She was even accurate in her assessment that he may need some auditory help down the road, which he did.) A year later I have addressed these needs, and he is thriving.

Anne was referred to my family by a number of people as a top-notch consultant for assessing…read morechildren's educational needs. Anne asked us to fill out a number of forms and provided guidance on answering some of the more ambiguous questions. The forms are very comprehensive and try to thoroughly asses both the child and the family. While it took a while to fill out the forms, I felt the forms were done very professionally. We scheduled qualitative assessment, but my child got a bit sick, and Anne advised rescheduling the assessment, as she wants to see children at their best. Considering how busy Anne is, I thought it was very nice of her to accommodate us. Anne came to our place for assessment one Saturday morning. My child is a bit shy at first and Anne gave it some personal space. After less than five minutes, they were cheerfully playing together and chatting. I had never seen anyone else gaining my child's trust so quickly. I must say, that those five minutes made it absolutely clear Anne has plenty of experience and talent working with and engaging children. I was really impressed, the child behaved almost as if Anne was a long-term friend. I'm not a psychologist, but my impression is that gaining child's trust and getting a child to open up is absolutely essential to be able to do a thorough evaluation. After the evaluation, we talked to Anne for over an hour. I was shocked how much she was able to tell us about the child just from the evaluation. She was spot-on on everything she said and provided a lot of helpful advise and guidance on what kind of education would work best for our circumstances. A few days later, we got a detailed evaluation report, which was thorough, perceptive, and professionally done. Also, Anne sent us a list of references. I've read most of the references in the meantime. There were a few that were very solid scientifically supported research and I found those very helpful. A few others were hand wavy and not written in a scientific way. I simply ignored the latter references. All together, we found the evaluation well worth the money and very helpful in both gaining deeper understanding of our circumstances and for deciding what type of education would work best for our child. Anne has been highly professional and caring in the whole process, and I highly recommend her.
