Steve was able to work with our daughter on her homework each week and help her understand any concepts she might have missed in class. He also helped her prepare for both regular public school math tests and standardized tests for private school. We had used a private math tutor and Mathnasium before and found that Strength in Numbers was far better at meeting our needs. Likewise, Melissa did a great job working with our son to prepare him for the SAT, which he recently took and felt very positively about.

Review from my son: Zach Pava played a major role in my…read morecollege admissions process. Not only was his college essay feedback on 15+ essays extremely insightful, I felt that the manner in which he set up a schedule with deadlines and tasks was more helpful. He always kept in touch, especially during October and November, and always responded promptly. Zach set up mock interviews for me with other Insight counselors to practice for college admissions interviews, which did not count against my counseling hours! Also, the fact that Zach primarily worked over Skype was actually more convenient, since I did not have drive to the Cupertino office all the time for the counseling; instead, I could just do it over Skype in my room.

I am the eldest in my family, and a first-generation American, so my family and I were unseasoned and largely out of our comfort zone when the time came to begin applying to universities. I found Zach through Insight, and he was a tremendous help to me, offering up suggestions about colleges I may be interested in applying to, prepping me for college tours and visits, editing my personal statements and supplemental essays, and offering me any guidance or support I needed throughout the long process. While I was a bit shy and lacking in confidence, Zach saw my strengths and potential, and constantly motivated me to challenge myself, ensuring that my applications reflected my best attributes. With Zach as my counselor, I never once felt stressed or overwhelmed about writing my applications, as Zach planned out deadlines for all components of my applications, ensuring that I would have everything in on time. Zach's genuine concern for my well-being and future was palpable throughout the application process, and after being accepted into Emory, my top choice school, Zach continued to be supportive of my aspirations. He was always more than happy to answer any questions I had about college and the future beyond. I highly recommend Zach not only as a college counselor, but also as a trusted mentor. His help was, and continues to be, an invaluable resource for me and my family!

Great tutor, great teaching, great experience!!! I had George tutor me for SAT, Pre-Calculus, and…read moreAP Calculus. Having George as my tutor helped me to understand every little piece in Pre-Calc. and Calc. He taught the information beyond the high school curriculum that allowed me to fully understand each topic in the class. He also works on thinking skills as well as building a strong foundation in math. Using all the techniques and tools George taught me, I was able to achieve high SAT scores in math. Very good online, one on one experience. Clear voice calls, shared online notepad, and desk camera making it like he's right next to you. George is a very kind person who listens very carefully and can figure out how tutees learn and understand information.

George is the best tutor I've ever had. He was able to teach me in a way where topics would be…read moreconnected and intertwined to previously learned topics to build up an understanding that I did not obtain in school. I was able to understand new mathematical topics very quickly based on the strong fundamentals that built into the new topic. None of the "just use this formula" method that I was told so many times in school. I got to the point where even if I didn't memorize a formula, like they make you do in school, I was easily able to derive the formula from my understanding of the mathematical building blocks that the formula was based on. Because of this, I was able to excel at Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and AP Calculus BC. This was also very helpful in the SAT and SAT Math II where there is a broad range of topics which I also did very well in. I have been a tutor myself and have been tutored by others, but George is his own league. He really cares and you can really tell even after one session. I can't thank George enough for his teachings.

Outstanding (Brookline MA) faculty and math curriculum. Faculty, administrators, and support staff…read moreare friendly, listen well, and will work well with students (and parents when necessary). The RSM math program prepares your student for high school, the SAT, and college math. RSM is an excellent adjunct to regular school math programs. So... What happened to the child that prompted my writing the 5-star review above? He graduated from Brookline High School and was accepted at UChicago as a dual physics & math major, where he is currently a junior. He was one of seven freshmen who completed honors analysis (math majors know the class). He loves the rigor and his school. During his rising sophomore summer, he interned at Harvard Medical Physics lab. He continues drafting a paper for publication on his work. During his junior summer, he interned in quantum physics at Fermilab, Batavia, IL. So, if you asked me: 1. Was Russian Math a critical factor in his success to date? - YES 2. Was Russian Math (along with his education at BHS) a success factor? - YES 3. Was it easy? - NO (This is a crucial part. As a parent, dealing with your child's behavior and stress is very important. I suggest spending time, understanding, and loving support go a long way.) 4. Should your child try Russian Math? - As long as your child has an "affinity" towards STEM or math, I'd recommend it. (I would NOT force a child to do anything they didn't want - after trying it.)
