As a parent, I have seen firsthand what a game changer it is for a child to have 1:1 support that comes from someone other than Mom and Dad. My daughter has worked with Jan at EC. The relationship they have formed and skills my daughter has learned have been critical to my child's classroom confidence. Jan has been a gift and our gratitude is high!

We have used this service for the last two and half years and cannot tell you how much we have benefited from the support of the coaches that have worked with our son. His confidence has improved with his writing, learning how to organize his thoughts better when tackling history and English Language Arts assignments. He's doing more than just the bare minimum, including more descriptive language and details. He's proactively creating outlines while reading to set himself up for success when trying to remember details later for questions or discussions. He's gotten better at self-advocacy, reaching out to teachers via email, when he's unsure of how to tackle an assignment or something isn't working correctly vs. just ignoring the issue. All things he wouldn't dream of doing on his own two years ago. Added bonus is that it has taken some of the pressure off of us, his parents, and the stress it was causing us when "nagging" him about his homework and missing assignments. Just wish we would have started sooner!!

However, our sessions with MTL have left her feeling more confident, and excited to read. Her reading has improved and she graduated out of her intervention group at school.

Your child will progress and become an ethusiatic reader.

The first tutor was a good teacher, but not a good fit for my son or what we, as parents, were expecting. I spoke to Cheryl, and we brought in another tutor.

I do not…read morespeak, read or write Chinese, so I really cannot help with homework or language and skills practice. Tutoring for Success was able to recommend us to the perfect tutor for our daughter. And I have seen immediate results. Her confidence and enunciation in speaking out loud has improved because they work together on all aspects of language practice. Her sight reading and character memorization has also improved due to handwriting drills and supplemental oral and written work that correlates directly to her assigned homework in her Chinese language class. I am very happy with the results so far! And, as an aside - since we hired a tutor, my daughter has been more excited about speaking with native speakers! While at work last week she engaged a client and had a very simple conversation in Chinese.

Iv went to SEM and studied under Selina for about 3 years. I first started at the end of my sophomore year in high school studying for the SAT. At first, I wasn't able to even complete the first few questions in a practice test and after learning and studying was able to complete the entire test and do well on it. This is not just the sit down and stare at practice tests all day tutoring spot. They teach why the answer is the answer and why other answers are not the correct one. They really do help the ins and outs of the test, showing you SAT tricks and tips as well. The people there motivate you to work harder and do your best. I never liked studying as a kid and to be honest, who does as a kid, but going to tutor was a fun time. There is laughter and fun there, but don't get me wrong, studies do come first. It is not a place I would dread to go to. Its a place where I met new people that I now consider family. She also helped me in my normal high school classes, where I struggled in some math and science. Shes a huge help and got me through some tough times. I am now a college junior pursuing a bachelors degree in Information Technology and planning on getting a masters degree in Computer Forensics. If I didn't have Selina as my tutor for school and SAT, to be honest, I don't know where I would be or what I'd be doing. She changed my life, and no amount of saying thank you or gift showering could ever express the love, gratefulness, and respect I have for her. Thank you again...

My student has always been doing well at school but when he started 10th grade, he felt challenged by in Honors Precalculus/Chemistry and AP World History classes. I didn't even know what to do as he was always very independent with his studies. We reached out to SEM Education and Selina quickly planned tutoring schedule for us. She, the owner, teaches High school Math and Science subjects!!! and she matched us with a History tutor. My student is an athlete with ever changing schedule due to practice and competition. Selina is always prompt and accommodating to help us with frequent schedule changes. And when we tried to address my student's changing/different needs, Selina quickly facilitated with finding a tutor without hassle. With Covid, the teaching platform is online which works quite well. In fact it has added the flexibility for us to make rush requests. With SEM Education, I feel confident that my student is well supported, whether it is for regularly schedule lessons or an urgent rush project. Rather than pulling my hair and feeling frustrated about my inability to help my student, I have Selina and her team of great tutors behind us whenever my student has the need. I know Selina will quickly respond to any request I have and timely find us the help we need.

Below is a testimony for Ms. Aquilah Robinson, a Learnplistic tutor…read more Ms. Aquilah Robinson was a great tutor for our daughter who was struggling in Math. Like most kids in this COVID era, learning virtually was challenging for our 4th grader. Our daughter struggled to grasp her 4th grade Math concepts presented by her teacher. But with the websites, games and worksheets provided by Ms. Robinson, our daughter improved and gained more confidence in her math skills and even strengthened her reading skills. Considering our daughter has ADHD, Ms. Robinson was patient, kind yet stern in tutoring our daughter both virtually and in person. Ms. Robinson was timely, professional, and engaging with our daughter, which provided not only academia but social/behavioral skills that I believe our daughter will employ when returning to school. Skills like making time physical with a watch or clock, time management, and simply conversing with our daughter about her day, allowed our daughter to express herself and communicate her thoughts about tutoring. I would definitely recommend Ms. Robinson's services for tutoring. -Ms. Gwendolyn Owens
