We wanted to help set our son in high school on the right academic path so we signed him up at another C2 location in the area and to say we were unsatisfied with the results at the other location would be an understatement. There was no goal setting, accountability or metrics discussed to track his progress. Through a fortuitous set of circumstances, our son ended up at C2 in Vernon Hills for several sessions and we immediately noted a stark difference in how proactive and active the team was in helping contribute to our son's academic success. Needless to say we immediately and permanently transferred him over to Vernon Hills. We highly recommend C2 Education in Vernon Hills. Marcos and Josh run a tight ship and have an amazing team of tutors. Sage, Michael, Kevin and Anand have the academic pedigree that we all dream of as parents and the results to show for it. It is worth it. To get the results that are necessary to help your child get to where they want to be takes time and effort and C2 Vernon Hills are generous with both. We have regular conferences with Marcos who gives us no BS assessments on our son's progress and goals. We highly recommend C2 Education in Vernon Hills!

I really appreciated being able to take a timed practice test about once a month. Come test day I was super comfortable with the timing and was able to perform my best.

I've been really impressed with the folks at Study Point. For one thing, they are super honest --…read morehere's the story: About four years ago my son was struggling in school. He was in middle school, and his counselor recommended this company, which sends private tutors to students' homes. It was called Study Smart back then. We bought a package of 12 lessons, and after about six of them my son decided he'd had enough tutoring (he hates anyone trying to help him). The company could have just taken the money for the remaining six lessons and disappeared -- I probably would have forgotten about it. And the name had changed to StudyPoint, which would have been a good excuse to write me off. But the people there kept checking in. My son kept saying he didn't want a tutor. Eventually, my daughter reached middle school and started struggling in math and science. So the next time the nice Study Point lady (Jill) called, I asked if the six remaining lessons could be transferred to a sibling, and she said yes. She took a lot of trouble (remember, she already had the money) to find the perfect tutor for my daughter -- one who has a strong science background, and is good at organizational skills -- and checked back in after the first lesson to see if the two of them hit it off. If they hadn't, a new tutor would have been found. The tutoring sessions are 60 or 90 minutes long, depending on the age of the child. The professionalism I've seen from this national organization has been really impressive.

He is so smart, kind, responsible and has engaged our daughter since day 1. She really enjoys working with him and as a mom, I couldn't ask for more. It is now sophomore year and he's still coming to the house once or twice a week to help with math and science. It has been excellent experience in every respect. I highly recommend Nurturing Wisdom if your child needs academic tutoring.

This went beyond unprofessional, it was downright amoral the way they told me I was in, strung me along, then pulled the rug out from under me at the last second.
