Don't focus on the address. These folks provide top-notch tutors and support along the entire Connecticut shoreline!
I've been using The Learning Consultants to assist my daughter prepare for a 2nd try at the MCAT exam. She lives in New Haven. The first time around, she used the tried and true (and expensive) Stanley Kaplan course, including the options for online classes and reviews. There was very little 'personal touch', and while their material is solid, the instructors can be inconsistent. After searching around the New Haven area, many of the tutoring programs did not go up to MCAT level preparation. The services that would try to identify tutors ultimately were not successful.
That was when I literally 'stumbled upon' the Learning Consultants. After filling out an online inquiry, I was contacted within a day by the head of the organization, Daryl C. He paid close attention to what I was seeking, and informed me that he had a great tutor right in New Haven, and he himself was also available about a half-hour's drive away. My daughter met with this tutor, and they hit it off immediately. The guy knows his stuff, and complements my daughter's weak areas--great matching, and great tutoring! I authorized weekly sessions, and they have been meeting consistently. I want to note that it was actually me who requested the weekly sessions. Daryl was completely flexible and initially offered an option to meet just once for a 'tune up session'. Very different than the groups that try to push 'package deals.
The tutoring has been completely individualized to my daughter's needs, and the tutor has been top notch and completely reliable.
if you are looking for a responsive, competent tutoring service from middle / high school through college to graduate school preparation, this is truly the group for you. I can assure you that you will be more than happy!
One last comment: About 6 weeks in, I got an email explaining that my credit card authorization was faulty. They continued meeting with my daughter throughout, while we resolved the matter. Love to see that at Stanley Kaplan! read more
