As a tutor, it can be difficult to find families to work with, which is why I began working with…read moreJanie. As it turned out, I signed up for more than just a company. Janie is incredibly supportive as a supervisor and always makes sure that I am able to do my best work. In terms of the families she works with, Janie's care and attention to each family is outstanding. Each time a tutor has completed a session with a student, the tutor writes a report that Janie reads in detail and sends to the caregivers of the student. She is really kept in the know of each student and keeps herself involved in their learning. She is in constant communication with parents and is always making sure that the student's individual learning is going smoothly.

I taught for several tutoring companies while in New York. None of them gave the level of quality,…read morecare, and trust Janie provides. Parents spoke highly of her communication and customer care. I can say only the most positive things about her as a supervisor - she really let me flourish as a tutor even more than I could do when I was in a classroom. She was open to ideas, gave guidance when necessary, really runs an A+ company. I would recommend Study Shack to any parent seeking quality instruction for their child, no matter the grade or subject, and would recommend it to any teacher looking for a home to provide tutoring services.

Alex Mallory offered wise advice throughout the testing process, and paired our son with several…read moreexcellent tutors. Eli Amzallag was particularly effective. He followed up every session with a detailed evaluation, which he sent the next day. Our son received an 800 on the math section, and 690 on the verbal. And, most important, he was admitted, early decision, to the college he most wanted to attend. The standardized testing regime is awful, biased, and a rip off. But, until it withers and dies off, places like Competitive Edge Tutoring are very helpful in getting through it.

We used Competitive Edge tutoring for both our daughters' ACTs and SAT 2s.  We had previously…read moreworked with a different agency but found their tutors abilities inconsistent.  With Competitive Edge, we found Alex was very responsive and supportive in all of our dealings and his tutors were consistently strong, had good materials to share, and always added value. The tutors sent us detailed summaries of the sessions, the areas needing work, and the next steps immediately after every session to help keep us in the loop. Megan helped my younger daughter for both the ACT and Spanish SAT 2 and we found her help invaluable.  We even recommended her to other family members. Her final ACT score was 35. My older daughter used Liz and Dimitri for the ACT and Willis for Spanish. Working with Competitive Edge my daughter's score rose from a 28 on the pre ACT (scale is 1 - 35) to a 35 on the actual ACT (scale is 1 - 36).

This interview was key, as we had already attempted to work with several other tutors who we found online, and had been unable to find a good fit. Now our daughter looks forward to her tutoring sessions, and we have seen significant improvement in her reading comprehension and her self esteem. The prices are also very affordable. We are glad that we found A Step Ahead and highly recommend them.

There is a one way thinking with shsat if don't make a certain number the first time taking the test than you won't get in that is false as well. So what I mean is that the student has no room for improvement. I find that close minded teacher who has more ego than heart. There is plenty of tutoring programs and I would not recommend this at all.

My child used Ibid for SHSAT tutoring and found the tutors inexperienced and unable to effectively teach. Stuart was rude, unprofessional and dismissive.

My daughter, a fourth grade student, has been working with Leah for about two months now. Leah…read morequickly identified her as a visual learner, and when I looked up her learning style, this assessment was spot on. My daughter comes home excited about what she's learned, which tells me Leah's approach is targeting my daughter's specific needs. Her attitude towards math practically changed overnight. In writing, she was experiencing writer's block and getting upset over it. As a parent, I was concerned when she had an essay or grammar work that required extensive writing. Leah very soon discovered that the writer's block virtually disappears if my daughter draws her ideas first, acts them out, and types on a keyboard. The difference is astounding. They also work on organizational skills. My daughter created a checklist with Leah that she uses regularly. By adding stickers that she puts next to each completed task, as well as an American Girl image on the bottom, this has turned into a joyous tool. Leah is simply an exceptional tutor, and I'm fortunate that my daughter has the opportunity to learn from her. I highly recommend her to any parent desiring academic gains and increased motivation from their child.

My son is very passionate about mathematics and William was the ONLY person we were able to find in NYC who was willing to find the appropriate approach for an 7 year old. We have taken 3 years worth of courses so far. William focuses on skills and teaches problem solving methods so that kids can succeed in the future. It's not just about getting the right answer. After 3 years, my son has improved dramatically! Thanks to William and his individualized approach, my son will be taking pre-Calculus in 5th Grade! He has also placed nationally for the past 3 years in the Kangaroo Math Competition. In addition, I have recommended William to friends and several have enrolled their kids. Even kids who did not like math started to enjoy it after seeing William!!! I can't say how impressed I am with Computing Wisdom. I have been recommending it to kids who are struggling and kids who are excelling in mathematics! You won't regret it!
