Here is another 5 star review. At the risk of being redundant, Art Edwards worked with our son to…read moreimprove his math SAT score through a combination of material mastery and test-taking strategies. Our son did his part, doing practice exams and going over them when they met. We had what we thought was a realistic expectation of how much the score might improve and were pleasantly surprised when he scored higher than we'd hoped and expected. Art is able to explain the material as well as how test questions are designed in ways that our son understood and was able to apply. Both not only helped this score, but certainly will contribute in the future. Highly recommended.

I do not…read morespeak, read or write Chinese, so I really cannot help with homework or language and skills practice. Tutoring for Success was able to recommend us to the perfect tutor for our daughter. And I have seen immediate results. Her confidence and enunciation in speaking out loud has improved because they work together on all aspects of language practice. Her sight reading and character memorization has also improved due to handwriting drills and supplemental oral and written work that correlates directly to her assigned homework in her Chinese language class. I am very happy with the results so far! And, as an aside - since we hired a tutor, my daughter has been more excited about speaking with native speakers! While at work last week she engaged a client and had a very simple conversation in Chinese.

They weigh feedback and information from parents, and with her in-depth knowledge of colleges and universities, provide customized guidance to each student/family. The whole process of applying to college has changed so much over the last two decades (when I first applied). It has further changed in the last several months during this pandemic. If you want to have the best understanding of the process and be provided with insightful, educated suggestions and recommendations you should have your son or daughter work with Julia and her team. They will help you match your child to the right school (or group of schools) - some of which you may have not even considered. Oh, and also of importance, she can help guide you through potential opportunities to save thousands on tuition - more than off-setting the costs of her services.

No matter how nice or persuasive the owner of the business is (and believe me she is very persuasive), do not provide your credit card information. Once you do, they will charge your credit card even if you tell them to stop charging. This is exactly what happened to me. I'm sorry that I have to post this negative report. I am not one to do this type of thing, but in this case, I believe I was really treated badly and unfairly. I normally assume positive intent when I deal with people or with businesses, that's what I did this time too. But unfortunately, my assumption was wrong about Professional Tutoring LLC. Although, I have reached out to the owner multiple times and nicely requested for them not charge my credit card and for them to refund the amount they have already charged, they always refer to a contract and refuse to discuss. All the niceness and the care they exhibited to get us to sign-up disappeared fast! They have now charged me $900+ for services not rendered! So, parents beware! Sossena

Her tutor was patient, organized, and did a great job explaining things in a way that made sense. They took the time to figure out what she was already doing well and where she needed more practice, then came up with a plan that really worked for her. Scheduling was easy, communication was always clear, and the whole process was stress-free. Best of all, she ended up with a great SAT score! I would definitely recommend Magellan Tutoring to anyone looking for SAT prep.

They will pressure you into a…read morelong term contract, tell you that you can cancel prior to a month with no issues and then flip the script and keep your money. I am severely disappointed and angry about this experience. I was lured into this place by an ad for 3 month SAT prep and then was steered and pressured into an expensive and useless 6 month contract -although they said during the evaluation that my child did not need remedial work. They said the 3 month SAT prep is a National Promo and not something they were doing but they could still help her prepare for the SAT. We decided to try and if not a good fit we'd cancel during the allowed time period. Great. My child attended 2x a week for 90 min and worked on worksheets. No one on one tutoring or lessons or group co-hort. It was loud and boisterous and she compared it to a babysitting service for little kids working on math. If that's what you need then this is the place for you. However look at the contract and all the fine print-it's like a shady gym with many fees designed to keep your money despite poor service. We joined on Nov 14th and paid $453. There was Thanksgiving break- ok. We cancelled on Dec 10th. They had charged us $509 on Dec 1st (2 weeks after joining!) and I asked for a refund for the month of December since she'd only attended 4 classes - one class in December. I explained it's a bad fit for a high school student- it's loud and geared for little kids. Furthermore, tutors are high schools students and not a great fit. They said no we don't charge a penalty for leaving but we can't give you your money back once it has been charged. They dismissed my email with a breezy "we hope you understand." They are a scam. This means we paid $240 for each class. Outrageous. Shameful. Horrible place.
