Marissa has been tutoring one of my 6th grade students and the amount of growth in his reading comprehension and also grade level math has been absolutely magnificent. Book her now while she still has time. I would highly, highly recommend to anyone who is looking to help their child achieve higher academically.

I highly recommend this program and this center! It's great to help your kids improve in an area…read morewhere they need to beef up their skills or to help them get ahead. My son did both Math and Reading when he was younger, and it helped him to get ahead and be placed in the gifted track in school. Then we came back to this location in the summer before 8th grade because his reading scores had gone down during the pandemic lockdown and hadn't really recovered. We wanted him to improve his reading skills in preparation for his high school placement assessment in the fall of his 8th grade year. After only six months of Eye Level Reading, his MAP score and high school assessment scores were back up to the high 90s, and the highest since before the pandemic lockdown, and he secured his placement in the Enriched Honors courses for high school. What's great about Eye Level is that it assesses your children's strengths and weaknesses and only focuses on the areas they need support. My older kids have done Kumon before, and that program only works with repetition, which is not the best way to learn for a higher-achieving child, in my experience. Once your child masters a skill, they move on, instead of forcing him to do ten additional packets of the same thing. What's great about the Northbrook Eye Level is that they send automated reminder notices the day before each class, which is very welcome for a busy household, and they are incredibly accommodating and responsive when we've had to reschedule classes due to my son's activities. My son liked his instructors and learned a lot from them. I'm very grateful to this center for helping my son get his Reading scores back up to where they should be -- and for giving him the skills, strategies and confidence to be able to take the standardized tests in school.

I was so bummed they closed their Glencoe location since it was so convenient for my middle…read moreschoolers to walk here after school. It's essentially a homework lounge where you can get get your homework done and have tutors on site to help out with questions. My daughter liked using the Glencoe location for that and would also book hour long sessions with their tutors when she felt like she needed extra help. This location is too far to just drop in so we stopped our membership (and maybe will one day join their future near New Trier location when it's time for high school). However, I occasionally book tutoring sessions with their tutors. We've tried a bunch, but when it comes to math my daughter has enjoyed working with both Kyle and Young. She said they do a great job of explaining concepts and are fun to work with as well. They also always send notes the following day on her progress, strengths and/or weaknesses. ' Again, sad there's no longer a Glencoe location, but great to have a membership if convenient to get to for your middle/high schooler on a regular basis. If not, great option for on demand tutoring, which is what we've been using it for.

The tutors are super nice and helpful, and they make learning fun and interesting. The lounge itself is really cool - there are lots of bright colors and comfortable spots, which makes it cooler for kids than being at home. I've been sending my kids to The House Tutoring Lounge for a few months now, and I've already seen a big improvement in their attitude about school. They come home energized by having their work done and feeling like they've got a handle on school. I highly recommend it!

My student looks forward to his tutoring sessions every week which is a night and day difference, he is so confident now. The newly developed high tech office is very unique in that they have a multitude of settings in which to work, everything from a private office to conference rooms.

Every student who is overwhelmed by the academic demands and expectations of life can find the path to success at ELP. I cannot recommend them enough!

My 2 older kids had tests this week and asked me to book sessions with the House so i called and they were able to set my daughter up with Silas and my son up with Emmy at the exact times I wanted. That alone is a win! We've used many of their tutors (Kyle and Young to name a few) at this point and they've said great things about all of them. Silas and Emmy were no exception and helped them review for their math tests. I also received notes from each of them a few days later recapping how the session went, which is super helpful for a parent. When my kids attend New Trier at the Winnetka campus I could see us resuming our membership, but in the meantime it's a great option for sporadic tutoring.
