I cannot rave enough about Mandy Kirk. She's brilliant, enormously insightful, effortless with…read morechildren and cares beyond measure. My husband and I were faced with a tough decision when our 6th grade son who was on a leadership scholarship at a very expensive independent school where he is doing very well both socially and academically came to us and told us that he wanted to go back to his old school for junior high school. His reasons - he wanted a more challenging academic environment and was afraid that if he stayed at his current school he would not be as well-prepared for high school which would in turn affect his college opportunities. Mandy listened to him voice is opinion, listened to our concerns and then asked a lot of questions. She was so respectful of our son and asked some great questions that really made him think. He told all of us that he wanted to be more academically challenged, he wanted more structure and he wanted more homework. The thought of that scared us as parents because he left his old school because the structure, discipline, academic challenges seemed too much. This is also why his current school which catered to a more critically thinking child seemed like such a good fit. Mandy's gentle questions and how she guided his and our thought processes made it clear to us as his parents that he had thought about this extensively, his decision was proactive and internally driven and he knew what he was doing. Mandy helped us to listen to what our son was really saying, to understand that he was asking to be more challenged in junior high school, to understand that he wanted more and better study skills and that he was ready for it, to just let go and again listen and trust our son. Mandy also suggested a coach for our son to make sure that he would be successful. He loved that idea much more than getting a tutor since he's all about sports. She also suggested that we consider getting him tested. There has always been a disconnect between how verbal, engaging, ambitious and forward thinking he is and his ability to focus if it's a subject that he is not 100% fascinated by. All in all, she left and we were all completely clear on what the right decision was. Mandy is worth her weight in gold. We can't praise her highly enough. Neither can our son. In his words, "She's amazing, she really listens and asks good questions that make me think. I was pretty sure that this is what I needed to do but now I'm certain that it's what I need to do." Mandy, this is definitely your calling!

After the initial interview, they began right away working with my son. And, they continue to work on his behalf as well. They have tutors, coaching, life skills . . . I can't say enough!

I received multiple invoice numbers for the same dates of service (and ones I did not approve) and different amounts. A huge red flag raised when I started receiving calls and e-mails that I owed money and bringing this up to Christie- she stated it's pending but you have paid. Than the same one would come again! This happened over and over for severe months... To date, Christie has not and will not take care of this! I always trusted Christie since I enrolled my daughter with her and when I honestly brought up this concern as well as our last session because school was ending, she backlashed (didn't show up for set and paid appointmen/s) and has made no effort to correct the issue. AFTER POSTING ON NEXTDOOR- I see this is a common practice for her ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A YOUNG SINGLE MOTHER!! BEWARE OF THIS LADY- when things are pointed out, she will get nasty and vindictive!

I also appreciate the fact that as a parent, I'm not pushed over to the sidelines in this tutoring process.

Our son worked with Paige for several years from elementary school to high school graduation. Our son is now moving on to college and we already will miss our weekly tutoring sessions. She was instrumental in assisting our son in improving his study skills from mathematics to English literature. Engaging him in a way so he would not fear a particular problem in math or to get through a reading assignment. But mostly just building his confidence in his approach to school assignments, study skills, testing and preparing for college essays. Best decision and investment we have made in nurturing our child through grade school. Highly recommend!
