We've known this school for about 3 years, and our son has been attending it for 2 years.  Aside…read morefrom the Mandarin classes, the school embraces other essential skills development through a variety of activities, such as the Speech and Drawing Contests.  It also acknowledges student accomplishments and celebrates cultural events.  Most importantly, the teachers are caring and make learning a new language fun for our 5 years old stubborn son!  He has developed a great appreciation for the language and culture.  When we visited China this past summer, he was able to "show off" some of what he learned to our relatives.

The best tutoring service possible. This is not only the very best place to bring students for…read moreremedial help but also to keep advanced students at the top of their game. My own son fell into both groups. It must be a statement of the real devotion of the tutors at Hilltop that he actually enjoyed and anticipated the meetings. His tutors not only improved his work but led him into new and advanced areas that added extra polish and excitement to his outlook. They are the very best I have seen and as an educator myself (college professor 15 years at Ivy League colleges) I have seen a lot. The communication and staff are really extraordinary. A+

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dave Lemmon and Hilltop Tutoring in general. Dave worked…read morewith my daughter to improve her reading comprehension & grammar scores for the ACT. She improved dramatically. Her ACT composite score went up from a 31 to a 35! We owe it all to Dave! Without his incredible guidance and support, my daughter would never have achieved this success. Dave was also an incredible help with the college application process. He helped my daughter create the best essay possible for her common application. Dave wrote us summary notes and suggestions after every session. His follow through and dedication were truly exceptional. The team at Hilltop is amazing and we owe all of our daughter's success to Dave Lemmon and the entire Hilltop Tutoring team. Thank you!

I've been taking weekly classes for a little over 2 months and can already great progress. Juan-Luis' way of teaching is super interesting as he knows how to challenge and motivate and quickly identfies which areas need improving. The approach is a perfect mixture of speaking, reading, and writing, plus a lot of fun and interesting conversations which makes the lessons really enjoyable. From the first lesson on, Juan-Luis was speaking spanish only at all times, so it was a true spanish immersion. Would highly recommend if you're really looking to taking that step and learning a new language in a fun and engaging way, with a truly noticable progress!

I am posting again because there are 2 locations (Brooklyn and Manhattan) and I've used both…read more I've been studying with this school for almost a year. My first instructor was Victor, and now currently with JP. Their approach to teaching Spanish is quite good as in the first month I felt I advanced more than other schools & tutors I have tried. What's really great about the school is the number of educational options they provide students. For example, you can have tutors come meet you at any location (such as your office, coffee shop, or even a bar!) for a reasonable fee. Of course, they also offer online classes with video conferencing or just skype sessions 1:1. I highly recommend this school.

They also have packages for wine nights and crafts for adults. Food and dessert can offered with your packages. The owner was courteous and introduced herself as you walk in. All the staff are super nice and pleasant in working with children of different ages. Also, the staff are skilled in creating some unique pieces of jewelry. They can be creative and help kids create some masterpieces. There is a main room and a mini tea room that are equipped with a wide range of supplies. A little overwhelming, but ask the staff and they can help you with your selections. I did notice the very tight space so having more than a small amount of people can be tough to deal with, and bumping into things or people will happen. From the looks of it, the prices are reasonable for the time spent here. Saves you a lot of money instead of throwing it at home...and don't forget the dreaded clean-up.
