They even loved the assessment the very first day, which to me looked like a test! The teachers and director do an amazing job making math fun. My kids love the motivational incentives they can earn, and really work hard for the incentives. There's nothing rote or boring about the way Mathnasium teaches math. Their program has helped my kids learn to think more mathematically. It's not like a typical tutoring program, where my kids do their homework with another adult. I can do that at home! Mathnasim has gotten them excited about math, and able to think at a higher level.

When school has at times been something she dreads going to Miss Joanna has been something she has looked forward to and joyfully and willingly embraced going to. Joanna is nothing short of amazing. She truly is incredible at this role, she has come alongside my daughter and provided a place and instruction that has resulted in my daughter thriving. Every time we leave my daughter is encouraged (and so am I ). As a mom what is even better than the wonderful academic/reading help she gives I of course wanted to feel confident about who I was leaving my daughter in the care of. I couldn't speak more highly of who Joanna is. She is the best. So so kind, gentle, fun, encouraging, generous, warm, sweet and joyful. Her little classroom is just perfect. I could go on and on. I wish I was more gifted with words! One more thing to note is how Joanna runs her business she is incredibly good at communicating expectations, she is timely, detailed and accurate in all the ways. We have been going to Joanna for almost two years and never once had any issues. We love Rainbow Reading and Miss Joanna!!!

He is so knowledgeable and is someone I wish I would have found earlier in my application journey. I am so grateful for his support! I loved having the whiteboard and he always sends the PDF of the notes that you cover in class. Stefan makes everything super easy to understand and very accessible. If you don't understand it, he will try to flip the concept on its head and reteach it to you. He is super patient! This has been my favorite test prep experience. I have tried it all - Manhattan Prep and other test prep companies. I only wish I found him sooner.

He objectively evaluated our son's strengths and weaknesses, identified gaps--especially in quantitative skills--and worked closely with him to address those areas. Stefan's deep knowledge of admissions and test prep ensured our son targeted schools that fit his profile and goals, and he provided invaluable support throughout the process. Stefan's professionalism and expertise made a real difference for our family. My wife and I would recommend him to anyone seeking high-level, personalized admissions guidance and GMAT prep.

Rather than putting students into a one-size-fits-all program, Elite begins with a full consultation with parents and then designs lessons around the exact subjects where help is needed. They also have access to our local school district's curriculum, which means Noa is learning exactly what she needs to stay aligned with her classroom work--just in a way that makes sense to her. Our daughter has ADHD, and Elite's team has the experience and patience to tailor lessons to her learning style. They've made math less intimidating and more approachable, while giving her the confidence to succeed. We've been so impressed by their thoughtful, flexible, and encouraging approach. Elite Tutoring of Wheaton isn't just another tutoring service--it's a team that truly cares about each student as an individual. We couldn't recommend them more highly.

I'd give zero stars if I could…read more When we first started looking for a nanny for our kids, 4 years and 5 months old, stability was our top priority. We had a long chat with Linda from Jovie about this, and I honestly thought we were on the same page. We trusted them to find us a nanny who would be with us long term. Here's what happened. Our nanny, who was fantastic and really clicked with our kids, ended up leaving for another job Jovie showed her only after being with us for 11 weeks. Once we found out we spoke with our nanny and she said she loved our family, in fact she told us it was a difficult decision to make and she would love to come back if we needed her for date night,etc. This new position Jovie showed her had a schedule that better fit her needs. What's unprofessional is that Jovie didn't give us a heads up until the day before she was set to leave, though they knew about it four days earlier. That hit us hard because it was unexpected, and it put us in a bind trying to figure out what to do next. Two replacements were offered. One with limited experience, her qualifications showed she had only 1 day of infant training. The other replacement we weren't shown a resume because she had not completed orientation. We were not interested in these two options. We were very clear we wanted long term care and ultimately this internal transfer our nanny made hurt our children's wellbeing. And seeing our 4-year-old so upset and confused about why his nanny just disappeared has been the hardest part. Our family trusted Jovie and they let us down and most importantly let our children down. I'm not one to complain, but I feel I have to be straight with other parents out there. Based on what we went through, if you're looking for dependable, long-term childcare, you might want to think twice about Jovie. It's a tough lesson we learned about the difference between what a company promises and what they actually deliver. Shame on Jovie and Linda for putting our kids and family through this emotional situation.

Physics can be a difficult subject to grasp and, frankly, many teachers don't make it very…read morerelatable to students. Mr. Podo is the one Physics teacher I know that bucks that trend. His passion is contagious, and he uses examples/materials that kids find engaging. For example, he used a scene from the Fast and the Furious to illustrate a difficult concept (centripetal/centrifugal force?). Being able to grab a kid's attention is half the battle these days -- then being able to take difficult subject matter and make it relatable to hold their attention -- very rare in a teacher. I'd highly recommend Mr. Podo to "level up" (my kid's term) your child's knowledge/grasp of physics. Money well spent for sure.
