Excellent!!! Tutoring U is amazing! My daughter had issues at school because of a bad (bully and…read morelazy) teacher. It got so bad I, and a couple other parents, removed our children from the class and put them in another school. The new school informed me that she was severely behind the rest of the class. She finished out the year at the new school, but because of the stress from her previous teacher her confidence was gone and her attitude changed drastically. I spoke with Michelle and her husband at Tutoring U, and they explained how they work with the students. I walked out of that meeting and could not wait to get my daughter started! Later that week I took my daughter in so she could be tested so they could see what her strengths and weaknesses were. They immediately gave me the results of her tests - no waiting - and they set her up on a tutoring plan. Immediately I started to see changes in my daughter! Her confidence was returning, she was happy and her stress was gone. Most important she was learning - A LOT! She was caught up on all the previous year's lessons and she was ready to start the new year. Currently, we are a few weeks into the new school year and her teacher has commented how advance she is math and reading and that she knows how to properly study. We previously tried the other national chain tutoring centers; they were very expensive, did not have one on one teaching (it was more like 4 to 1) and all they seemed to care about was having you sign a lengthy contract. I love that the tutoring is one-on-one. The curriculum focuses on the student's weaknesses, but will also review their strengths. I was always told what my daughter would be working on and how she did on the lesson. I was so happy with the progress my daughter made that half way through the summer I enrolled my younger daughter so she could get a start on the new school year. I will continue to use Tutoring U and I highly recommend their services. Thank you so much for helping my daughters!!

Good school if you have an above average or gifted student, otherwise don't bother. I found this…read moreschool to be mostly about show-boating and a social status contest rather than genuinely caring about students. They care if your child meets their mold. My child was deemed behind. Had them tested to normal results. Tutor said curriculum was too advanced and not developmentally appropriate. The teacher, Ms. O in 4th grade could not be bothered, furthermore she had never taught the primary grades. Her remedy was "to hold my child back." Which seldom is done anymore. I also found school's principal nice but ineffective. To make a long story short, my child is now an honor student in high school. Its a nice school but wasn't a good fit for us.

What an amazing find! I was looking for etiquette classes for my daughter and found Joann. She is…read morean extremely experienced professional with decades of experience teaching children and adults. She is warm and approaching, making her content relatable and consumable. Her class sizes are small and comfortable, adding personal stories and examples to encourage students. Classes are given from her home which is inviting and beautifully decorated. Classes can be booked by a group of 4-8 or if you reach out she will put your name(s) on her list until the next group class is scheduled. I would highly recommend and we absolutely plan to return for other classes (we attended the dining etiquette class).

The Young Women's Leadership Academy is public all female school. Combined middle school and high…read moreschool, there are 330 students total. As a former student, I would to address my comments, concerns, questions, and criticismn just as the principal would ask after addressing issues. First, I would like to share positive comments about the campus. This school has outstanding teachers that take pride in their role for these young women. Many students have been successful thanks to our teachers. In my opinion, this was the only thing that stood out to me from my years as being a student here. Next are my concerns. My first concern is how the campus functions during extreme climate. The school needs to do a better job with the air conditioning and heating system throughout the campus. Students constantly complain about the freezing classrooms or the hot gym which leads to my next address. Here at YWLA, there is a strict uniform policy. One thing that the administration is constantly reminding us about is outerwear such as jackets, hoodies, sweaters, anything meant to keep your daughter warm during the cold season. It worries me that the school cannot keep up with keeping our students warm during the winter or cool during the summer. Along with the uniform required for your daughter comes with an expense. The leadership, casual, and wellness uniform, along with Spirit wear can costs parents an excessive amount of money. For some families, uniforms do not arrive in time for the school year. With this issue, it can cause your daughter to get detention or a write up. Besides these critical items needed for your daughter to succeed at this campus, the academics and athletics might not meet you or your daughter's expectations. Academically, YWLA has only few students per grade level receive A-Honor Roll. Coming from a school that tries to emphasize outstanding scores on exams, it might not be satisfactory for some. The school does present challenges as it does have students participate in advanced classes. It concerns me how students have the potential to grow academically and yet do not show progress sometimes in curriculum. On the other hand, if your daughter is a competitive athlete and is willing to join UIL sports, this campus may not satisfy that. This school used to have many sports for both middle and high school. A few years later, sports such as softball, wrestling, soccer, and tennis were removed from middle school and basketball and volleyball were removed from the high school. I will acknowledge that the high school has been successful in certain sports but the middle school athletics program does not deliver the same results. Unfortunately, the number of girls participating in a sport at this campus is low. Teams have become smaller and try-out sports don't seem like it. This what also caused high school basketball and volleyball to be removed due to the lack of students to complete a freshmen, junior varsity, and varsity team. I do not have any questions for this campus but I do have some final words of criticism. I believe the administration for this campus is not at its best. I found the principal, assistant principal, counselor, and security guard to be mostly disrespectful to many students. These administrators enforced rules in a way that students did not appreciate. Small choices can turn into ISS or a referral. As much as they try to keep students in check, they create an environment for students not to feel comfortable or able to express themselves. For being a small population school, I believe these girls deserve adults who show kindness and not portray fear to some. I understand the academy has strict policies, but many rules are not fair. The campus has girls who get bullied because of their interests or the way they express themselves. During my time there, many girls struggled with mental-health and I have never seen a school with students that haven't been to reach out to an adult. I hope my opinion on the counselor can change because I am disappointed that so many had to struggle when they could've received help from someone who acts trustworthy. That is all I have to say for this school. I hope this serves you as a realistic outline of what to expect if you decide to enroll your daughter here.
