I've recommended him to many friends and colleagues who have been working with him on a regular basis as well.

We spent $24,000 to send our child here for one year…read more Five stars for the tutors themselves, they are decent people, but they are mistreated and underpaid. See Glassdoor.com for proof of this. I truly feel sorry for the actual tutors. Here's how it went from the beginning to the end: During the sales pitch, they introduce tutors called "Clinicians". Sounds official, right? So what training/accreditation do these "Clinicians" have? Do they go to postgraduate school for 2 or 3 years and obtain a teaching credential? If only. A high school diploma and two weeks (two weeks! Employees at call centers get more training than that. Two weeks of slipshod training at Lindamood Bell makes you a "Clinician". My wife and I really should have known better, after their hard sell first meeting. It was reminiscent of a time share sales pitch. The pitch is very hard sell, but very seductive, they break open binders of data and talk a great game. Once you enroll, there is absolutely no follow through. The poor tutors are too stressed, overworked and underpaid, as mentioned. The facility in the front is beautiful. When you enroll, and your child actually gets into the back of the facility where all the "schooling" takes place, it's dirty, with cheap, rickety furniture, stained walls. But we were willing to overlook all that at first if our son actually receive the kind of education they promised. So what of the "education"? You could do this for free. It was just like free curriculum you could download from a wide variety of sources. It was so bland, generic, uninspired. It seemed like watered down high school curriculum. Save yourself a lot of grief and seek the wide variety of curriculum available online for special needs kids for 1% of what you would waste here. So, to wrap up, $24,000 later, after my son wasted an year here, in this pseudo-school. My son even complained that he did not enjoy it, didn't learn anything of value (Their "Economics" curriculum was clearly downloaded from some generic site). There were other special needs kids with antisocial behavior, and that's fine, but Linda Mood Bell allows those kids to run rampant and interfere/pester other students. It was a zoo some days. There were not very many students at all, and I can see why.

We first enrolled with Grade Potential Tutoring in Austin, Texas last year. The tutor assigned to…read moremy daughter was excellent--she enjoyed working with her, and I believe the sessions had a positive impact on her grades. When summer arrived, we decided to pause tutoring services since our schedule becomes much busier due to frequent out-of-state travel. I notified Grade Potential that we would not be using tutoring services during the summer, requested that billing be stopped, and indicated we would resume once the school year began. However, I later noticed continued billing from Grade Potential despite my previous notification. Assuming it was an oversight, I contacted their office and spoke with a representative who reversed the charges. I believed that resolved the issue and that we would restart services when school resumed. To my surprise, while reviewing my credit card statement later, I discovered several additional unauthorized charges from Grade Potential. I contacted them again, and while the charges were again reversed, I expressed frustration and requested that no further billing occur unless we were actively using their services. When the new school year began, our previous tutor was no longer with the company, so we requested a replacement. The new tutor was excellent as well. Unfortunately, her visit reminded me to review my account again--at which point I discovered three more unauthorized charges made during the months we were not receiving services. I contacted the company a third time to request refunds and expressed my displeasure with their billing practices. I was referred to a manager named Taylor, to whom I explained the situation. Taylor offered to refund only two of the three unauthorized payments, stating that their system required at least one charge to keep the account active. This explanation is unacceptable. Their internal computer system should not result in customers being charged for services not rendered. I made it clear that I expected a full refund and explained that we would continue only if the issue was resolved. Otherwise, we would terminate our business relationship. Taylor was dismissive, spoke over me during the conversation, and was generally unprofessional. As a result, I decided to discontinue doing business with Grade Potential Tutoring. This is disappointing because the tutors themselves were excellent. Unfortunately, the company's billing practices and poor customer service overshadow their good work. I will no longer be using Grade Potential Tutoring and would advise others to proceed with caution unless they are comfortable being billed for services they did not receive. I have since contacted my credit card company, explained the situation, and was promptly reimbursed for the unauthorized charges.

Marissa has a degree in I believe it is vocal technique and it shows. She has a plethora of knowledge for the beginner to advance singers and of all ages. I have seen kids, teenagers, adults, grandparents etc come out of her studio. She has a piano that she will play scales with you and play the song you choose to work on. She will recommend songs for you but if you have a favorite song you would love to sing she will be more than happy to help you with it. Never be afraid to make a weird sound or have your voice break on a high note etc because in Marissa's studio it is a non judgmental room. She will joke around with you and make you feel super comfortable in no time. Wether you need help for an upcoming gig or just want to better your voice this is the spot. For breath technique to posture and everything in between so go on in and give her a try! You will not regret it!
