Ms Orta's experience, compassionate and positive approach led to Cameron being a straight A student and Scholar/Athlete by the time he finished 8th grade at Borel. He was ultimately accepted at a prestigious private high school based on his credentials and experience at Ms. Orta's... We cannot say enough about this program and highly recommend it to any family who wants to prepare their child for the next level.

Ms. Orta and her team, on the other hand, not only provide individual instruction but also teach students important study skills that will benefit them beyond the doors of middle school. For teenagers (and parents) who are having a challenging time with organization and focus, this House will surely help. In addition, the atmosphere is comfortable: students do their work in a home-style setting, eat healthy snacks, and interact with a collaborative community. Plus, students get to actually play outside - without the distractions of mobile devices. Ms. Orta's House is truly a San Mateo gem.

This is a review written by my son, a student of Ms. Denise Boulanger…read more As a long-time student of Denise Boulange of over 8 years, I whole-heartedly believe that little can compare to the monumental improvement of my English skill spurred by the persistent efforts of Ms. Denise. She has critiqued my school essays, advised me on my SAT skills, and collaborated to form several fantastic college applications. The college applications were especially of note; while However, I must emphasize that Ms. Denise's expertise extends beyond merely tutoring: we have discussed and studied topics as foreign to me as philosophy. While not overtly connected to standard academics, I have found these niche subjects as bolstering my literary and argumentative expertise (and my school grades of course). In short, if you wish to truly expand and challenge your English mastery, Ms. Denise is certainly an apt choice.

The skills she taught me have helped me in school (especially with timed writing assignments and on the AP tests) and I know I will continue to benefit from the skills I developed under Denise even after I go to college. She is a patient and caring teacher and I highly recommend her."
