My family has had the good fortune to work with Mazor Test Prep on tutoring for the ISEE entrance…read moreexam when my children were in 5th grade and applying to private schools, on the AP exams as they made their journey through high school, and on the SATs as they prepared for college. The proof is in their success-my kids scored in the high 80 and 90 percentiles on their ISEEs, were accepted to their private schools of choice, and earned 5s on AP Physics and Calculus exams. My son is a senior, and with Lisa's guidance, achieved a 1530 on the SAT, missing only one math question-no superscore, just one test. Thus far, he has not been turned down by any of the top-tier engineering programs to which he has applied. My younger child is now working diligently with Lisa to maximize his SAT scores as he prepares for college applications in the fall. What makes this all the more impressive is the fact that both my children have dyslexia and dysgraphia-school has not come easy for them. Whether working directly with Lisa or one of her expert team members, you can expect compassion, professionalism, flexibility, and a commitment to meet your child at his or level, emotionally and academically. Lisa and her team are exacting and demanding, but with an understanding that kids' anxiety levels and workloads fluctuate through the school year and need to be taken into consideration and adapted to. Working with Lisa, I felt supported as a parent, and more importantly, I knew that while my children were working hard, they too felt supported. My kids have tried preparing for standardized tests using workbooks and online/in-person group classes, but both report the one-on-one experience they have had with Lisa and her team to be the game-changer. Not only are Lisa and her team effective, they are kind! I have enjoyed all my interactions with them, and the kids do not balk when it is time to get down to work. They also feel motivated to get their work done between sessions, so they are prepared for their next meeting-with no helicoptering from me. This is how test prep should be.

She was underprepared and we only had a few months to get ready. Lisa met with my daughter 10 times over a few months and dramatically improved her scores and confidence. She did this with incredible kindness and empathy for the stress of the process my daughter was going through. I would highly recommend Lisa to any parent whose child is preparing for the SSAT (or SAT for that matter).

Great, caring tutors. Fantastic results!…read more My daughter ("M") loved the math tutor she had from 8th through 11th grade, but, come 12th grade, M decided to take "Honors Physics with Calculus" and "Honors Statistics" at the same time. She also wanted to bring up her math SAT score. Concerned that keeping up with M's classes would require too much work, her tutor recommended she switch to FusionMath (based here in Seattle). If you visit their website, you will see bios of all their current tutors. However, when I emailed the company to explain the situation, I said it would be great to get some recommendations from within the list. Mark Batho, the owner, emailed me back within 24 hours introducing himself and inviting me to speak on the phone, which we did shortly thereafter. He started out as a tutor himself, and it was clear from the start he was a very smart man and a highly committed educator. Although he said he had multiple tutors that could handle the job, he did recommend two, both of which were PhD candidates at UW in physics. M started with one shortly thereafter. They hit it off fabulously and M got A's in both of her honors math classes. Moreover, she raised her Math SAT score from 670 up to 730. M's tutor was personable, highly capable, and able to schedule evening and weekend hours, so M could do theatre in the afternoon after school. The owner, Mark Batho, is a delightful man and really seemed to care about how well M did. In total, I very strongly recommend FusionMath. (Fwiw, Mr. Batho also owns Uplift Writing - a writing tutoring company!)

Our daughter's standardized math (MAPS) scores had been on a downward trend for a while, so we…read morehired Alyssa at Liddane for weekly tutoring sessions, as we knew our daughter needed a bit of extra help outside the classroom. Since starting there, she's never complained about having to go to tutoring (which is A Big Deal) and in fact she's always in good spirits when she goes in and comes back out. On top of that, her MAPS math score that just came out was a 93 (an increase of 14 points from her previous score) and I've no doubt that Alyssa's help was a large part of the reason for that increase. I definitely recommend Alyssa and Liddane if you or your kiddo need a bit of extra help!

If you are in Seattle and looking for an awesome LSAT prep course, you have definitely found it in…read morethe Steven Klein Company. Each and every class is taught by Steven (the owner) and he has got to be one of the most experienced LSAT teachers around. He has been teaching his LSAT class for 25 years now, and he is great at it! I made the mistake of taking the LSAT after self-studying, and didn't get the greatest score. I signed up for Steven's class hoping to gain a few points, and Steven did not disappoint. He made it possible for me to not only understand the Logic Games section of the test, but made it so I went from missing about half of the questions to getting every question right on my second LSAT. He also simplified logical reasoning into question types and concepts that made me confident in my ability to tackle any question they could throw at me. And if there was something I just wasn't getting in class, the course came with the option of free one-on-one tutoring with Steven or one of his incredible tutors. That is something I have never seen offered anywhere else. Even after the LSAT, Steven and Sandy (the office manager and admissions genius) were around to discuss my score, evaluate which law schools I should apply to, and look over personal statement drafts. They made the tedious and stressful process of applying to law schools a little more bearable. Honestly, this was the test course I could have taken for the money. No one else would provide one-on-one tutoring and admissions help without asking for double the money. Taking this class was a no-brainer, and I would recommend it to anyone.
