She has helped me connect with multiple amazing families in the Santa Barbara area and I have enjoyed tutoring immensely. Her organization is off the charts, and I am never left feeling in the dark or unsure about my job. Her work has permitted me to have amazing work moments like students who initially were struggling with math finding that they were starting to actually enjoy their homework and assignments. And recently, a student who was a bit lost in their math class scored the highest test grade in her class! I highly HIGHLY recommend Leading Edge Tutors, both from the student and tutor perspectives.

I cannot say enough about SB Tutoring and my son's incredible tutor, Hannah. From the start, SB…read moretutoring has provided nothing short of stellar and exceptional service. The staff that I have interacted with are all incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Hannah started out helping my son with English and reading comprehension. I am very impressed with the structure of the sessions. Hannah doesn't wait for my son to come with questions. She is already familiar with the school's curriculum and books that he is reading. She has questions and exercises for my son to work on that are directly related to what he's doing in school. Recently, she also started helping him with his math class that is now being taught at an accelerated pace due to the anticipation of returning back to campus in person. The amount of new information is overwhelming now that it's being taught at twice the normal speed. Hannah is incredibly knowledgeable of algebra and geometry and has helped my son immensely. Every session ends with a short virtual meeting with me of a summary of what they covered and homework assignments she has given my son to complete. A follow up email is also sent with this information. To sum up Santa Barbara Tutoring in one word: outstanding. I am very happy and it is well worth the money for the 90 minute weekly sessions. My son is now much more confident with his skills in English. He's always been an "A-/B+"student in English. But, it has been a struggle with many tears and virtual office visits with his teachers. He is now earning an "A" in class with much more ease and understanding. Thank you SB Tutoring!

Nita is kind, patient (especially with eager parents!) and more importantly knows how to connect with teens! My husband and I are a bit unorganized and well, frankly, clueless about college applications and financial aid. Our son didn't seem interested in discussing colleges with us, which was also frustrating. He began sessions with Nita in January 2022 researching colleges and their locations, lifestyle and academic programs/offerings. He has enjoyed working with Nita and has made great progress. He recently completed essays and application requirements and submitted his applications. We have already recieved an acceptance letter from one college, Western Washington University! Nita is very knowledgeable about financial aid and how to prepare for freshman year. I was referred to Nita from another mom who had a similarly outstanding experience. With gratitude to Nita - The Schous.

No tutor can make a child learn, motivation must come from the parent. Sure, some matches of tutor/family are not a perfect fit, but using common sense, most things can be resolved through compromise. This is an almost nationwide/global business. They have a great online platform (zoom like). Sure an occasional tutor may flake out or an occasional family may have unrealistic expectations, but try again. The company has no control over either entity - it just bills and tries to match needs. One bad apple does not ruin the whole truck!

Lisa…read moreMazor expertly guided us in identifying the most appropriate test for our daughter to take for her college applications. She was invested in explaining to us the differences between both tests and how each test benefits specific types of students. We settled on our daughter taking the SAT and then signed up for a series of group test prep classes taught by Ms. Mazor. Our daughter came home from every class with a "can do" attitude about the test, invested in studying for the practice tests and reviewing errors she made in practice tests (of which there are many!) The class series was taught at a steady pace and in five short weeks accomplished review of strategies and material, taking 4 proctored tests that simulate the real SAT test experience and analysis of test errors and writing samples. I believe our daughter's level of enthusiasm and commitment to give this experience her very best was inspired by Ms. Mazor's approach to teaching. She communicates positivity, accountability to be the best one can be and her teaching style is dynamic and engaging. My daughter was never bored in these classes and remained focused on studying at home and learning from her errors throughout the test prep period. The final outcome was an SAT score that exceeded her (and our) expectations! We could not be more satisfied with our experience with Test Prep Santa Barbara!!
