My 23 month old daughter and I LOVE Willow Grove and Ashley.

We love all of Ashley's amazing Montessori toys, sensory bins, and circle time. As my daughter grows, we cant wait to come for tutoring and the music and art class this Fall. This is SUCH a GEM of an experience. It is super exciting to see your child thrive in a new social and educational environment. Not to mention, we have met great new friends!!

Ashley, the owner / director, is warm, inviting and knowledgeable about the Montessori method. She's thoughtfully prepared the space and offering to accommodate each family/child's needs. For us, as a homeschooling family, the flexibility the Willow Grove model offers is awesome. Our kids can experience a small Montessori classroom environment without a full-time commitment like other programs. This lets us have plenty of time at home, for travel and for other classes in the community. Also, it's worth noting that the setting is beautiful - high ceilings, clean, bright, quality Montessori materials. There is also a nice space upstairs where parents can work or lounge if they choose to stay. Only downside is parking. In the morning it's not an issue, afternoon can be a bit hit or miss. We're very happy to have Willow Grove in the neighborhood! Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a flexible schedule and/or supplemental learning.

I really can't say enough good things about Mathnasium and Michael who runs this location. My son…read morehas always shown an interest in math so we started him here young, at age 5. Michael was so attentive and committed to helping my kindergartner get comfortable in those early days. He really understands kids!! Now my son is spending 2 hrs a day there. He LOVES it. The whole getting tickets, spinning the wheel and getting prizes is a great model especially for younger kids who are so driven by rewards. It's the best extra curricular hang out and worth every penny.

Now that we are both working from home, and with school closures in effect with no end in sight, Allen has been helping us create a home learning environment for our daughters. When we first started with Allen, he set us up with a daily schedule, which has helped us set routines for ourselves and for our children. The daily schedule has been a game changer for us. Personally, my own stress has been reduced because Allen has empowered me with the advice, skills, and patience to work with my own children in an academic homeschooling kind of way. 100% recommend Allen!! Wonderful and intelligent individual!

I highly recommend Allen Kushinsky. Allen came in to help my 9th grade son transition to his high…read moreschool studies. In particular, I wanted a strong writing instructor for one-on-one writing development. Allen is super easy-going and approachable, and he connected quickly with my son. He was wonderful at helping sort through the various class platforms (for grading, homework assignments, resources, etc.) which can be quite confusing at Drake. He was super patient, giving thoughtful and helpful feedback to my son. He also helped my son devise study systems for each of his classes, making the course load much more manageable. We hope to continue with Allen on a project basis, and then restart weekly meetings once winter sports are over.

It was in Nursery School where the teachers brought to my attention that my younger son Aidan…read moreneeded support in school. Once he started elementary school, his kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Chavez mentioned that he needed additional support. At that time, they did not know what the issues were. My thoughts were that he was too young for the grade but having a twin sister and she was advanced, I could not hold him back one year. My son struggled in school until I met Shannon Mulligan, owner of Marin Tutors. From the very beginning that I asked for help, Shannon took the time to provide the support that my son needed always paring him with excellent tutors that were compatible with my son's personality and their teaching techniques were always easy for my son to understand those math equations. Marin Tutors were common to see them at home, once or twice a week, every time that I came from work. From elementary school, up to his Senior year. Aidan recently graduated from San Rafael High School, Class 21, and he was accepted at the University of Nevada - Las Vegas. In August, my husband Bradd, Aidan, and I drove to Las Vegas to settle him at the dorms of UNLV. It took us a few days to help him settle in his new stage in life, College. While we were helping to settle Aidan in his dorm, he expressed his excitement about his new college life, and he shared with us: "I can't believe that I am here right now, it is pretty exciting"... That really touched me, because automatically I went back in time, to those moments where he was filled with frustration for not being able to understand his math problems, all those moments that he felt "something was wrong with him" and being rescued by all those hours of tutoring with Marin Tutors. The truth is, that he is where he is right now, at UNLV thanks to Marin Tutors. He could not do it, or I could not help him (the math of nowadays is not my strength) without the help and support of Shannon Mulligan and all her excellent tutors that spent time with my son, one on one. To Shannon Mulligan, Marin Tutors, and all those college students that joined Marin Tutors thru the school years of my son, thank you for all your time, dedication, passion, patience, and knowledge. Thank you for all you contributed to helping my son Aidan. We would always be so grateful about it, and you would always be a part of my son. I guarantee you that!... Marin Tutors and Shannon Mulligan are simply the best! -Mirsonia
