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.

We had a fantastic experience with Lisa. My oldest was applying to middle schools in Washington…read morethat were very competitive to get into and required our daughter to do the SSAT test. 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).

I had special requests since my son didn't really need help with high school classes and she was more than happy to accommodate. I asked Carol if she could help my son with improving his scores on the SAT (+200), help with writing personal statements, and help keeping him organized with deadlines for college applications. Carol did an amazing job assigning him homework and giving him direction on how to research schools, fill out applications, etc. I referred her to another kid on the soccer team that needed that extra boost. My son liked her and she was a great motivator and personable. I don't think I could have got through Senior year without her on our side- She was worth every penny and lifted the stress off my shoulders as a single mother that has never been through the college process. Thank you so much Carol! Brandon and Christine

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!

We started to notice that our daughter was having anxiety around approaching math and other schoolwork where the steps were ambiguous. She felt there must be a single way to arrive at the answer and would perseverate rather than just digging into the problem. Flux worked with our daughter's teacher to develop an action plan. Over the course of 10 lessons, they worked on fun but complex word problems that allowed our daughter to recognize all the different information she could use to solve the problem. They drew pictures and tested concepts, and after each session our daughter couldn't wait to walk us through the problem and the process she used to solve it. Flux helped her identify anxiety triggers, do deep breathing, and build her confidence, and she kept math fun and exciting the entire time. She has been a really great mentor and is fantastic about tailoring a program to our daughter's needs.

We were referred to Faith through my daughter's elementary school. At that time, my daughter had a…read morelove-hate relationship with math. It had the potential to be a love relationship but she needed a little "push" in that direction. Faith helped my daughter embrace her inner-math-loving-self through working with her on homework assignments, showing her games that she could play that made math fun and in the end, really building her confidence in math. The best part was my daughter and I were no longer fighting over how I did math vs the way her teacher did it!! After moving onto middle school, my daughter was awarded a trophy in her math class for most points through assignments, test scores, etc! She was so proud! And now she describes math as one of her favorite subjects. She is even hoping to be a counselor-in-training at Girls Rock Math! We highly recommend Faith! She's awesome!
