My daughter has been seeing Sandra now for two months and has already made some great strides…read more After only the very first meeting, we had learned some great tips from Sandra that had an immediate impact on a couple of areas she struggles with on a daily basis. Since then, my daughter looks forward to her weekly session, and has been gaining in confidence and enthusiasm in the classroom. Sandra is truly an integral part of my daughter's team - working closely with us (her parents), her teacher, an my daughter -- valuing her as a person and helping her to recognize and utilize her talents. I feel lucky that we have found Sandra!

I was a bit skeptical at first since there wasn't much information out there about the company, however I am so glad I gave it a shot. I was paired with Danielle from Science Tutoring Services who came highly recommended. She was very thorough and patient. She made me feel very comfortable. I can't say enough about her quality of work. Needless to say my average increased tremendously. I finished the class with a B+ average up from a C-. I would urge anyone taking biology or anatomy & physiology to give Science Tutoring Services a try! Their prices are reasonable and they are extremely professional.

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.
