Mathnasium is different because you take assessments but…read morethey make them fun with awards, and when you take the assessments they tell mathnasium what you need to work on. Mathnasium gives you pages that are your level work and you can request to work on what you do for school if you like. Mathnasium helps me study and it gives me the best grades in class. Mathnasium also makes math actually fun I know some people hate math and this is a great way to start liking math in so many ways. Math is fun there because you have different level cards and each page you do is a star and once you fill the card with the amount of stars you can get a prize that costs that amount of cards. All in all mathnasium makes learning fun!

We've seen quite a few of their tutors and I have to say we liked every single one. The tutors have a great way of connecting with the kids and making it fun to learn.

Since the pandemic we haven't been going and my girls have asked when they can go back, now that school will be starting online in the fall I'm definitely going to have them work with 310 again to keep them on top of their school work.

As most parents know it is really hard to manage a career and still have the time to stay on top of your child's day to day school requirements. Jonathan has always been extremely supportive of my child's academic success, not only at the center but has also attended several school meetings with me and his teachers to make sure he stays on track. I can honestly say that thanks to Jonathan and his staff I am worry free when it comes to my child's success in school.

It's evident that Learning Encounters truly cares about its students and parents as they make a personal investment in each student's success. Thank you Valeria, Pam and Sam. -Amy S.

He is really to-the-point and has a very comprehensive method of narrowing down and determining the best practice and tutoring to improve your knowledge of the test.

All work was conducted during the COVID pandemic using Skype. Scott was very effective in relaying the material via the video sessions. Early on he conducted diagnostic testing to tailor the plan of action for my daughter. This helped him to direct my daughter's studies to focus on areas where she needed improvement. Scott is able to clearly identify the strategies for attacking the types of questions in addition to reviewing the general knowledge. My daughter found the tips and strategies to be very beneficial. Over the course of the study period she was able increase her scores on practice tests for both the verbal and quantitative reasoning sections. My daughter says she is very pleased with Scott's approach and found him to be very personable with sound knowledge of the material and also a good sense of humor. She is planning to take the GRE in Jan 2021 and feels very well prepared. Based on discussions with my daughter I highly recommend Scott as a GRE tutor.

Our son started working with Jeffrey the August before his Junior year to prep for the SATs. He had tested well on his practice test and had very high goals for himself - wanting to achieve over a 1500 and we all knew he had the ability to get there. Jeffrey worked weekly with our son from August to March, as he was taking the official SAT Nov and March test dates. Jeffrey was super thorough, flexible if we needed to change times or dates, and an extremely outstanding teacher and fantastic person. Our son enjoyed the weekly lessons, tips and tricks from Jeffrey's vast experience and our son kept improving with every practice test and real test ultimately achieving his goal with the March SAT test. We were all thrilled. It was a pleasure having Jeffrey in our home every Sunday and we are so thankful and grateful for his mentorship. We told him if he was still at it in 4 years when our daughter was ready to prep for the SATs, we'd be calling upon his services again! Academic Achievers was also super helpful, checking up on us during the experience and making sure we knew they were there for us as well. We have recommended them to all who've asked about our experience!

My son is 11 and has always struggled in math, and I could tell it affected his confidence too. My husband and I tried to help him, but the concepts didn't stick, and then everyone was frustrated. We needed a professional. I was already amazed after the first session because my son seemed HAPPY and EXCITED while LEARNING MATH. What?! My son had been complaining and complaining about tutoring, but now he was actually laughing! My son plays baseball, so Gloria created an activity using baseball to teach FRACTIONS. Yep. Gloria's also great with communication, and she even created a google drive folder to share her lessons and progress notes, so I felt informed every step of the way. You can see that she spends a tremendous amount of time planning and documenting everything. If only my son's school teacher could share this level of detail... Long story short, my son went from scoring Ds to Bs! And he has more confidence and a better foundation. If your child is struggling with math or confidence or both, call Gloria! With all of her expertise and the hours she puts in outside of sessions, she is worth every penny and more!

Throughout my college career I have tried it all and nothing came close to my experience with Tutor Me LA. They are kind, caring, and the tutors are excellent.

It was far more than finding me a tutor, but they really got to know me and went to great lengths to ensure I did well and that is something that is rare and deserves to be appreciated. Thank you Tutor Me LA for your help, students like myself truly need your service and you all are doing a great job at ensuring that quality is not sacrificed. Shout out to Melissa, Scott, and Jared for always putting up with me and my last minute request and emails asking questions off the clock. You are all absolutely amazing! Another a great experience!
