Both of my kids have been tutored by Matt and Emma's team at Hawthorne Learning Solutions, and I…read more(and my late wife, who found them) couldn't be more satisfied with the level of care they've received. They both participated in HLS's SAT Prep classes as well as having received tutoring in various subjects. In fact, my daughter took the SAT prep in the spring and got a 1220 on the SAT in May (680 Reading/Writing, 540 Math). However, she wanted to raise her math score (math isn't her best subject to begin with), so she had three sessions with HLS before the August SAT exam, and she brought her score up by 90 points, to 630! I can't say enough good things about my kids' and my experience with HLS! I highly recommend them.

My daughter took an SAT prep course from Trudeau in 2015. Her instructor was Erik. She found the…read morepractice in grammar and context clues for the reading most helpful. In addition, her math score went up 70 points. Trudeau also helped me financially by taking payments.

The tutors have been well vetted and don't have to look anywhere else for quality tutors. I've gone the route of asking the school for their list of tutors which resulted in many calls placed with no calls returned. Now it's just one call and I know I'll get a great fit for my daughter.

I really enjoyed my lessons with August. I had taken lessons from other people in the past and he…read morehas a unique and refreshing way of teaching. This was my first time taking virtual lessons and I was pleasantly surprised by how well the setup worked! I especially appreciated the emphasis on playing by ear and not having to rely on sheet music.

FYI: No refunds and a joining fee of $150! I signed up for…read moreMathnasium and the next day realized we wouldn't be able to make it during their offered hours. I called not 24 hours after signing up and they claimed they don't give refunds and it's their policy not to. After much unpleasantness they agreed to a refund minus the credit card fee, and informed me it would take over two months to receive the refund. Canceling membership is an extreme effort as well. Just look online at the bad reviews!

I recently called Evergreen inquiring about music lessons. The dude on the phone was overtly…read moremansplainy throughout the call which was annoying and then was being pushy about how frequent I should take the lessons after I had said that I wanted to meet once a week. I'm guessing this guy doesn't reflect the personalities of instructors or their quality of teaching but I didn't really feel like having to deal with the dude when there are other high quality music schools in town at the same price/less expensive. Maybe this guy was actually the owner? I have no idea, but it probably wouldn't hurt to let someone else speak to the public!

My son started taking piano lessons here. He has 25-minute weekly lessons. It costs $100 a month…read moreand there's an annual registration fee of $50, which helps them hold recitals, etc. Textbooks are extra but very inexpensive. Because he's still a novice, private lessons are great, and $100 a month is so affordable. Initially, I thought 25 minutes would be too short, but it turned out to be a great length for a 10 year old to focus. My son works with Amelia. She is very positive and great with kids. She's also flexible. My son was sick last week and couldn't come in, but Amelia was willing to schedule a make-up session on a Saturday morning. Conclusions: My son enjoys coming in every week, and I'm happy with our overall experience. I highly recommend Evergreen Music Studios, but you may want to keep in mind a couple of thing. Things to watch out for: They send you invoices online, and you can pay them online as well. If you use a credit card, they will charge you a convenience fee of $5.85. I think it's silly to pay $5.85 for a $100 invoice. Also, they will assess you 10% on late payments, which they do not disclose on their invoices. ****************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my reviews.
