I can tell you that any SAT tests results are depending on how much your kids put their time and effort, classes or tutors can only assist them. This place is very honest business. We took summer boot camp but needed to be off for 2 weeks. They gave us a credit for fall extension program. Initially I thought we still had to pay a couple hundred dollars but they changed me only $20 ( $700 value) Staff is very responsive and teachers are great. They had a Pizza party at the end of the summer boot camp to celebrate all hard work. I thought it was a nice gesture.

If I hadn't lost over $5k in prepaid fees to these guys, I'd say the operation was a joke…read more Unfortunately, the truth is more nefarious than that. We tried Tutoring Club for our son, thinking it might be a lower cost alternative to Elite Prep. We prepaid $5,600 in tutoring fees in Sept, based on a promise written in our contract that they would refund if we didn't like it. My son felt the quality of instruction was rudimentary compared to Elite Prep, so we cancelled almost immediately. The owner acknowledged that we were due a refund at the time. It is now Jan, 4 months later, and they still have not processed the promised refund. Maybe they are a struggling business and just don't have the funds. Or maybe they are so disorganized they can't get their act together. Or maybe they engage in deceitful business practices. Whatever the case, there is no explanation that makes this the kind of place you want to trust for your children's academic success.

In the wake of COVID, our son had fallen woefully behind in math and his grades in other subjects were also suffering as he never had a chance to properly adjust to the academic demands of middle school during the lockdown. By creating a customized schedule for our son, Reshma & Jennifer have not only shored up his math skills but have put him on the path to success in high school. This was no small feat given how easily distracted he is; it took a lot of individual attention and coaching. Moreover, Reshma was willing to sit down with us multiple times to brainstorm and provide guidance -- including a draft high school class list tailored to our son. All in all a great experience thus far, and worth every penny. Highly recommended!

I engaged Vince about 4 months into my GRE prep. Prior to working with Vince, I had worked with one…read moreother tutor that was much too formulaic in his approach to the test. Vince tutored me via Zoom. His remote setup enabled us to have productive exchanges as he was equipped with technology that facilitated easy learning. I'm including this in my review because my previous tutor did not possess the necessary technology to properly conduct remote learning. More importantly, Vince worked with me to apply focus to my GRE study, directing me to the right materials--I had previously only studied 3rd party material. He also helped me to stay on track with weekly study plans that matched my time commitment. In our 90 minute tutoring sessions, we spent our time mostly discussing verbal topics. Most valuable was that verbal discussions with Vince built the necessary experience that enabled me to understand how ETS presents the logic in the TC/SE questions types and what ETS is looking for when presenting their RC question types. As a native English speaker, I had to re-engineer how I read the passages and questions presented in the GRE. My tutoring sessions with Vince helped me acquire the test taking "finesse" in the verbal section that I needed to go from scoring in the 70th percentile (May 2021 test) to scoring in the 96th percentile (July 2021 test). If you have the resources, I strongly recommend connecting with Vince or at least consider taking his online Verbal GRE prep course. Finally, some general test-taking advice re: the GRE. The GRE is a game and you're there to play its 80 little puzzles. One of the best pieces of advice I got from Vince himself: "Be patient, build experience, and take your time with the test." This advice really resonated with me and I took it to heart, eventually attaining the score I wanted. So, to my fellow test taker: "Be patient, build experience, and take your time with the test."

I never call these ads normally but I figured I had nothing to lose and that is how I found Rshim. Seriously the best tutor ever. I have worked with other tutors in the past and this is what tutoring is supposed to be. Rshim figured out my learning style before I even knew what it was. Little did I know that flash cards would change my life. Rshim broke down the concepts for me in a very understandable way and helped me make me flash cards that made memorizing formulas and reactions in no time. I honestly think I will make flash cards for anything I am trying to learn in the future. Great tutor, great person, and someone you need to hire if you need a tutor. Thanks again Rshim!
