This review is long over due! I can express how grateful I am to have found Tutors by Teachers…read more Jennifer really listened and helped my 4th grade son in writing, reading, bushings and comprehension. My son was behind in grade level and had progressed dramatically. We have held other tutors but he preferred his tutor bc she was able to relate to him! I'm forever grateful for all your hard work and fun lessons! I highly recommend Tutor by teachers. Additionally, they are priced fairly and very professional! My son really connected to you, says you were the best tutor, and really loves you! thank you for everything!!

Dear Yelpers, I…read morewanted to share our experience with Ms. Jennifer, who has helped my 3rd grader (now 4th grader) to enjoy writing and reading comprehension along with improvement in his grades over a span of just 10 weeks (with 1 hr tutoring 3x per week) and over zoom!! Since the shelter in place occurred with the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, my son required more support in school assignments and homework. He is a good student overall and I grew concerned when I saw that he scored a 68% on a reading comprehension assignment. I then tried to help support him myself, but quickly realized it became too stressful. It was at that moment when I saw his frustration, that I recognized we needed a tutor. Hiring a tutor was one of the best decisions I have made because my son gained knowledge in writing skills and tips in reading comprehension, all while enjoying and learning new skills. At the end of the school year, he had a reading comprehension test and scored a 95%! We were all so proud of him and I have no doubt Ms. Jennifer taught him skills which he used to achieve this score. If you are looking for additional support for your child, I would highly recommend Ms. Jennifer because she is truly a gem. She is not just a tutor, but she genuinely cares about your child and will create lesson plans specifically geared towards your child's interests and skill level. For instance, she knew my son enjoyed playing basketball and in one of her sessions, she selected an article about his favorite basketball player, Steph Curry. He was so excited to have lessons with her and looked forward to learning. I genuinely appreciate her approach in teaching my child with professionalism, kindness, and patience; she is truly a world class teacher! I am forever grateful for Ms. Jennifer and encourage any parent who is struggling to find support for his/her child to consider Ms. Jennifer!

The work that Michelle is currently doing with my daughter is definitely going to have an impact on her future with the strong foundation of studying, routine, and daily habits that will make her a stronger student, and in life, more confident in her abilities. I have already seen the confidence boost based on the improvements that my daughter has achieved after just a few weeks of working with Michelle. I'm so grateful also (as a busy working single parent who is not remotely qualified to be a certified teacher myself) that my daughter has a coach, advocate, and someone who is very very familiar with all of the latest academic standards and material to receive personalized help. I'm so grateful to have found her!

My daughter has always hated the idea of private tutoring . She never liked any of the tutors that…read moreshe has worked with until she met Vaishali. Vaishali has been an awesome tutor to my daughter during the pandemic. Other than being knowledgeable with the tutoring subject, she is super patient and understanding. For a rebellious teenager like my daughter, Vaishali managed to keep my daughter motivated and focused during their sessions. My daughter actually looks forward to her tutoring session with Vaishali which i would never have dreamt in a million years!! I also love that Vaishali would give me an update on what she has covered after each tutoring session to keep me in the loop. I feel so fortunate that my daughter can find such a wonderful tutor like Vaishali!!

The most unprofessional experience I have had - please be warned about this company…read more I was referred to Davidson Tutoring by Valerie at Learning Encounters as we were looking for private 1:1 tutoring for the ISEE this fall. We are currently enrolled at a wonderful private school here on the Westside, however, my daughter was hoping to make a switch. Valerie told me that Davidson was "excellent, highly recommended and know the ISEE inside and out." Naturally, I was very interested; and in hindsight am very concerned that they would be referring them to this company if they knew what was truly happening. I was told to speak to their Director, Debora H. and I reached out to her on Friday, 9/12. I knew that our window for effective tutoring was very short as we had hoped to take the ISEE in November and December so every day was crucial for us to start a program. I spoke with Deborah on 9/13 and she immediately emailed me back with a recommended plan. I was clear about our need to start soon with someone who knew the Upper Level ISEE test and was reassured we would be able to move forward as soon as our daughter could take the sample test online, which we did over the weekend. After submitting it, 2 days goes by without hearing any additional information. Every call was answered by an answering service who tried every single associate including her assistant, Lisa and no one ever answers. Even when I had scheduled to speak with her other days, I would receive very nonplussed responses like, "Oh shoot...I lost track of time!", or the more vague "I wasn't able to leave a message for some reason." When she asked that my daughter complete an additional math packet to "get more information on her placement" we sent it over. Again, no response. I follow up by email, still nothing for 3 days! Her response? "I am sorry, I missed this somehow." What?! WEEKS go by like this and we are now into OCTOBER and still I have NO profiles for tutors being sent to me, NO books or materials and more importantly we have NO start date. Mind you, I have ALREADY PAID. Finally, I issue an email on Oct. 3rd letting them know that if there is no plan, I will ask my credit card to reverse the charges for services not rendered. Of course, I get a call immediately with a promise to send over a profile of a candidate. She then overnighted 2 books to my home finally. When I ask how much experience this tutor has with the Upper Level ISEE she says, "Well, not much but she fits the personality of your daughter best." I didn't ask for a friend for my daughter - I had asked specifically with someone who KNEW the UL ISEE and could help her gain immediate traction as we had minimal time to get tutoring in. The weekend goes by with further delays as she was "trying to find other options." She found one more tutor, and gave me a start date for the following weekend, and then had to cancel it as the tutor accidentally scheduled that slot. When I asked if I could take the weekday spot that had opened, she said that tutor would not be filling that time. So, all in all, we ended up with NO tutor and Deborah refunded my money. The more insulting aspect here is that she actually asked me to go to FedEx to drop off one of the books to return to them (which I did) and then added insult to injury to ask that I go to UPS to drop the other one off. It's fair to say, that in my time in business, I have never encountered such a reprehensible and unprofessional way of working. Not only was my daughter left with even less time for necessary tutoring (6 WEEKS less), but I had to scramble to find another company which, luckily, I was able to. I am so happy to have LA Tutors instead as the tutor and director were immediately responsive, professional, and have been very communicative about my daughter's progress. I will be writing an amazing review for them. However, please save yourself the headache that I went through and avoid Davidson Tutoring altogether. And the fact that Learning Encounters recommended them so highly makes me suspicious of them as well. Clearly, they have no idea of how this business is run and what they are doing. And after reading other's reviews about Davidson, I feel like an idiot for trusting them with something so crucial. But happy that we dodged this bullet and are in good hands now. Please seek better for your child.
