She created a strong foundation of reading and writing habits early on with him and has continued to deliver progress.

We feel so fortunate to have her supporting us!

My…read moredaughter had never taken any standardized test and was a little apprehensive about the whole process. Karen-Meredith made my daughter comfortable, built up her confidence, and offered her invaluable tips and tricks. I wish I had that kind of help! Based on her test results and academic record, my daughter was accepted at one of the top schools in the City and placed in their Honors English program. More importantly, my daughter is more confident and will be ready for the college standardized tests in a few years. We'll be reaching out to Karen-Meredith for that when the time comes! Highly recommend.

My son made great progress in reading, comprehension, and writing. I agree 100% with the other parent's comments about Jaleh. What made Jaleh stand out is that not only is she teaching the academic parts but also teaching the kids to advocate for themselves and to develop their own distinct strategy of how to overcome obstacles caused by their learning difference. She is the most caring and dedicated tutor that my son had - she would read the assigned books as part of the preparation for the tutoring sessions. My family was so lucky to have found Jaleh!

Math-for-Girls is a life-changer…read more After receiving a discalculia diagnosis in 8th grade for my daughter, I found Vali and math for girls. What a game changer! After trying different interventions and math tutors over the years, I really didn't have much hope for my daughter ever making progress in math after receiving an official diagnosis for a specific math disability. Vali was very clear that she wasn't specially trained to work with discalculic kids, but we decided to give her a try anyways. My daughter was skeptical about another tutor and not excited about extra math after school. I'm so glad we gave Vali a try. My daughter learned more in 9 months with Vali than she had in 9 years of regular math class. Even more importantly, she is feeling so much more confident about doing math and feels like she has an array of strategies to approach a challenging problem. The engagement and confidence she is now feeling in regard to math is remarkable. We have now transitioned to Tia, one of the terrific Math-for-Girls tutors, to continue remediating middle school math while also supporting the transition into High School math. My daughter enjoys her time with Vali and Tia so much - actually looking forward to math, working independently on problems/skills between sessions, and is proud of her progress. Vali and Tia are both so positive in their teaching approach and really paying attention to where a concept is shaky or understanding may be incomplete. They are terrific at communicating what has been covered and setting expectations. My only wish is that we had found Math-for-Girls earlier. If you have a math avoidant student - call Vali!

Vali is an extraordinary asset to the students and families she works with…read more She makes math both fun and attainable; the ultimate goal of most of us in the math education field! I've been so fortunate to work with a number of Vali's students in my own business as they have needed test prep or moved on to their high school math phase. Each student Vali previously worked with has been engaged, curious, and motivated about their math education, a testament to Vali's wonderful mission to educate and inspire girls and her remarkable success in achieving this!

Jessica began working with her in third grade helping her to learn and giving her the confidence and ability to succeed. Jessica worked through all the school year and summers for two years. The confidence Jessica instilled in her was remarkable. She was patient, kind, and understood my daughter better than any teacher had. We moved my daughter to a school specifically for students with learning disabilities, and when she needed to study for ACT,​ we came back to Jessica. Now my daughter has been accepted into selective colleges, all that she has applied to! Jessica and my daughter remain close and have agreed to continue​ to keep in touch when she is in college.

Recommended by a top educational therapist, Ender has helped my child get back on track. It's a…read morequestion of fit. I'm giving him 4 stars only because he's not an educational therapist, not because he's not "excellent." After four sessions with him, my child has regained confidence needed to move on to the next level. Don't trustthe b.s. negative reviews that are of one extreme or another, it usually lies somewhere in between. The teacher either has the knack...or not. Ender definitely has the knack.

My two sons have been going to Ender for their entire high school careers--and he is simply put,…read morethe best! I was referred to him when my son was in a crisis--literally flunking Pre-Calculus and in danger of getting an F for the semester. My son was reluctant to go to a tutor, but Ender said--"look, you will know if this is helping in just a few sessions," and he was right. We saw vast improvement after only three sessions. With Ender's guidance and explanation, my son went from an F to an A for the trimester and got a B for the semester. After that, he never wanted to head into a math final without a tune -up session from Ender. He did very well in math and AP Stat throughout the rest of his high school years. So when my younger son tested into the very rigorous Accelerated Math course his Freshman year at Lowell, I knew what to do. I had him start with Ender from the beginning and he was one of the few to emerge from that class with an "A." We also asked Ender to tutor our sons for the SAT and SATIIs and he helped them pull down a surprising 800 in the SAT II--surprising because my son doesn't think of himself as a "math student." Ender is kind, patient, rational, and as my sons say, "just a great teacher." Everyone I have ever sent to him has been very happy with the results. Some of my friends decline to go because he is not the least expenseive tutor in town, but I want to say "He is worth every penny!" So often, I've seen friends spend lots of time and frustration on a less accomplished tutor--with mediocre results. Ender delivers results. Plus, my sons really like him. He's low-key and professional, and he eases kid's fears. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have a resource like Ender for my sons.

Brendan is the absolute best. My only wish is that we had hired him sooner. Our son is bright but…read morenot academically inclined nor well-organized. Initially Brendan helped our son prepare for the SSATs as part of high school applications. Even with just a short time to prepare, our son did better than his first practice test and walked into the test without any fear. Brendan has helped our son better stay on top of his coursework and homework. Brendan has also helped him turn around his grades in all subject areas. And my son looks forward to when Brendan comes over (it really takes the stress off the parental relationship when it comes to homework;). Brendan has had a truly positive impact on my son's relationship to learning. Brendan always goes above and beyond. For my son's first finals week at high school, my son would sometimes give Brendan a late night call - it was more to calm his nerves than truly review materials but Brendan was always available for him. When my son got a last minute acceptance to a high school, Brendan came over on a Sunday to talk him through the decision. When personal tragedy struck our family, Brendan was there in case my son needed to talk about it. Brendan is really caring and meets the kids where they are at emotionally as well as academically. Brendan also understands the school system and has helped us understand how we might tap additional resources to help our son. I highly recommend Brendan to everyone.

At the time, she often struggled with what to write and how to complete her assignments.

They make an effort to get to know each kid and their interests. They make the online format fun, including some chatter about personal interests during the zooms. They also reach out to parents and offer positive and constructive feedback about each child's writing. I was initially looking for an in-person camp but I think the zoom format actually works well for a writing camp. Each day has a specific theme and each participant has to read out their essay to the class. I believe my son's writing skills and confidence has grown due to this camp. We will definitely do it again!
