My excitement about my son having ISEE prep at Renaissance Kids quickly faded after meeting Frank…read more He is very rude and curt with the children. After I signed my son up, I spoke with former families and even a teacher, and was told that Frank should not be around kids because of his condescending demeanor. I am unable to recommend RK to anyone because of Frank. Anna and Danielle were okay. One last thing. Once I went to drop my son off at the upstairs classroom, and there was not an adult in the classroom, just several unsupervised kids. Anna, Frank, and Danielle were all downstairs. I always walked my son up to the classroom, and I'm glad I did. There should never, ever be a child in the classroom without a RK adult present. On that day I waited until an adult came upstairs before leaving my child for his class.

Renaissance Kids is the ultimate learning institution!…read more I have been coming to Renaissance since I was about 7 years old. Anna, Frank, and Danielle have all helped me succeed in my academic studies. When I was younger, I was tutored in spanish and math. Around the age of 13, I attended ISEE testing camps and when Junior year came around, I attended SAT testing camps, along with private tutoring. I can't remember who taught my ISEE camp, though I remember that Frank ran my SAT camp. Renaissance provided me (and the rest of the students) with the most elaborate binder I have ever owned! My SAT binder was filled with practice tests, explanations, vocabulary lists, latin root lists, and even a weekly agenda that listed the plans for each time our "camp group" met and our homework. ..And the improvements were clearly visible after testing days past by! I have found myself at Renaissance Kids the most during my last two years of high school. Danielle has truly been a friend at hand with my senior essays, including my research paper! The way she thinks and her level of intelligence just blows me away and I can trust her with any question I have with my papers. Renaissance whole-heartedly wants their students to achieve their goals, be happy, and succeed in their futures. I'm definitely going to miss them when I depart for college! Renaissance is not a waste of your time, money, gas, or energy. Give them a chance, I assure you, you will be satisfied!

I needed to bring the big guns to get my son up to speed with the months and months of not having a proper math teacher in the classroom. That is WHY I turned to Groza Learning Center.

I would defiantly recommend Groza Learning Center to any parent who needs learning support and teaching with what LAUSD misses. The Groza team is professional and on point with the subject matter.

When it time for preparing college applications, I knew how important it is & how it would affect…read moremy son's future. I had choices between Michael or few others companies that also has a pretty good review but the reason I picked Michael was he handles whole process ~ from preparing SAT to submitting the applications ~ by himself and only takes 12 students a year, so I knew it will be very personalized and he would be able to pay close attention to my son. To start, communication was super easy, as he always responds very promptly and as he starts to work with my son, he always gives a clear update on what is going on. SAT went very well. My son was at the top 1%, scoring 1530. Next came the real deal; preparing ~ I mean really put out the plans for the following months. This is very important step which you should start as early as possible so there won't be any missteps. Michael was able to come up with a few ideas and recognize my son's true potential which brought him to a huge success. Final result: early acceptance to Columbia University of New York. I couldn't be any happier about choosing Michael. The whole process was a breeze. I knew my son has a qualification for the top colleges, but without Michael the outcome probably won't be the same.

There is a great deal of authenticity in his teaching approach; he is one of the few tutors who practices what he preaches. Should his own tools and tips not work for his students, he easily adapts, taking time out to learn about his students before formulating alternative methods. I admire the honesty he has with himself, only taking on a limited number of students at any given time. I've had the pleasure of working with Mike on two occasions: during college applications and later in my professional career. He is whole heartedly dedicated to each person's academic journey and is easily one of the best kept secrets in the tutoring industry.

He did all the homework and utilized all the tips and suggestions offered by Joe.

This could not have been a better choice, as working with Avi Lidgi proved to be what I needed to take the next step in improving my score. After working with Avi for three sessions (three weeks), I was able to improve my GRE score by 13 points (V158 Q159 to V166 Q164) into the 90th%s. While the resources and study materials were certainly useful, Avi's expertise on GRE-style questions and strategy for approaching these questions were invaluable in improving my score beyond what I could have done myself in this short period of time. Many of the questions that I considered highly difficult became simplified and approachable under his tutelage. During the test, this saved me many precious minutes to check my logical reasoning in both the verbal and quantitative sections. As such, I highly recommend Twainstein to any individuals or groups seeking improvement in their GRE test scores. The test is an excellent opportunity to anyone seeking to advance their education, and this test preparation organization offers an exciting way to achieve even greater success.

TLDR; Twainstein was quite possibly one of my greatest finds on Yelp. Highly recommend for GRE…read moretutor services. Money well spent. Over the past year I decided to pursue a career change that would require taking the GRE (/ hiring a tutor) and getting accepted to grad school. Being budget conscious, the first thing I noticed was that Twainstein's services weren't cheap, in fact they were wayyy out of my price range. However after doing some research, reading some reviews, having a pressure-free consult with Avi, and deciding that the best investment I could make was in my education, I made the leap. Best. Decision. Ever. Over the course of a month and half, Avi and I worked together to improve my confidence and test-taking strategy/abilities (Dare I say i'm no longer afraid of fractions?). He was patient, observant and tailored our sessions to my needs. I put in a lot of effort inside and outside of our sessions, and he did the same for me. I also really appreciated his routine checkins, his availability, speedy email responses, and his comprehensive approach to the exam. If you are slow to learn, have a LD like myself, or just lack the confidence, please don't let that deter you from taking the exam! You can achieve your goal score like I did with hard work and proper guidance, which is why I highly recommend Avi and his team.
