Just yesterday my son was feeling behind in his Algebra 2 class and she went out of her way to find us a tutor for that very same evening. Amazing!! She works with a wide range of tutors so scheduling is never a problem. My kids actually look forward to meeting with their tutor.

From the tutor side: Rae has provided me with an incredible…read moreemployee experience. 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.

This is a tutoring match service. The company tries to match independent tutors with families…read morerequesting tutoring services. 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!

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!

Cassie has been great for our Sons application process. She is very focused and clear with him…read more We were working with another college adviser who had a lot more experience, but not nearly the interest in getting to know him and understanding his interest. It certainly was not by the numbers process with Cassie. She is young with lots of experience and we are so happy to have found this service. She had an ongoing text message and meeting schedule with our son. Every deadline was meet with time to spare. He even enjoyed the essay process as they discussed the pro's and con's of each essay. I even thing he learn a bit more about himself during the entire process. I suggest that if you decide to go this route it is worth interviewing a couple of professionals before moving forward. We first selected someone who everyone said was the best, but to us her approach turned out to be a tired process. It was an extra expensive to use this service, but in the end the cost was small knowing that the college application process was stress free. College Specific's far exceeded our expectations.
