The team is pretty responsive if you run into any issues with the class scheduling and pretty understanding. I qualified for financial aid and it got approved in less than 48 hours.

I took the intensive drawing bootcamp with Brett Xavier Gamache and really enjoyed it. Brett is a…read morepatient and generous instructor. He provided just the right amount of advice and instruction regardless of each person's level of experience. I have some drawing experience but it's been many decades since I took a formal class. Many of the techniques that Brett shared were familiar to me but good reminders. Most helpful was having Brett review my work at different points during the process, and offer advice on how to proceed. Thank you, Brett, for an enjoyable reintroduction to drawing. I look forward to taking another class. The CCAE could do better in communicating what to expect and in keeping the listing up to date. The description says it's 6 hours but it's listed as running from 10am-2:30pm. The supply list was incorrect so I purchased much more than I needed and didn't have items that I did need. They should also note that you only have about 30 minutes for lunch and Cambridge eateries can be very crowded on a Sunday. I would have brought a lunch.

I've been going here for 5 months now and the results have been really amazing. This follows 6…read moreyears of constantly seeing all sorts of medical professionals, lab & overnight tests, alternative health, etc to no avail. The one caveat I'd say is you kinda have to know what you want: This isn't a hospital or slick business operation where you make an appointment with a receptionist, get measurements by a technician, have them sent off to the doctor, and have a grad student come back and go over the results with you then follow the doctor's treatment plan. These are two geeky guys totally fascinated with the human brain (willing to try some of the more out there stuff if you request it), operating everything themselves (in-between the time they're not reading about the brain) out of a residential house, who are with you start to finish. So, you really have to know what you want to get out of your Neurofeedback experience (A packaged shiny hospital facility? -- then no). But, if it's to get the best possible work, _copious_ personal attention at the lowest possible prices, here's the place!

I've been working with Larry and Paul for 3 years now, and I'm very pleased with the increased…read moreresilience I feel in challenging situations. I decided to work with them after reading how neurofeedback could, in Sebern Fisher's words, "calm the fear-driven brain". I feel respected as a peer, never labeled or talked down to. Larry, whom I work with most frequently, is easy-going and works creatively with an impressive array of neurofeedback equipment. Larry and Paul have worked in this field for decades, and use not only classic neurofeedback but also LENS (Low energy neurofeedback system), Neurofield, HeartMath, Z-score training, ILS and more. I personally recommend starting with a qEEG so you can follow your progress with an amazingly detailed brain map as a baseline comparison. You won't regret it!

HSA tutoring is a fraudulent service…read more Dont be blindsided by how they market themselves on the website as being top tier Harvard students or the fact they only employ the best for tutoring. which is a lie they employ any homeless person and brand them as high achieving Harvard students. The reality is they employ individuals who don't care about tutoring. An even less about you as the client. All the agency is interested in taking money from clients. I failed my assignment after taking up a tutoring service with HSA. Yes you heard right failed. Yet they claim they are Harvard rising stars. I was assigned a tutor a month before my assignment was due which was very reasonable. however, the tutor they assigned me didnt respond to my emails for weeks and only contacted me couple of days before my assignment was due to fit me in at 8pm at night. What a complete joke of a service !!! Honestly HSA is a con, stay well away from this place, other wise you will be deceived. Take your kid to a reliable tutoring service !

She worked with three different tutors throughout the package, Christine, Daniela, and Iman. They were all great and very communicative in terms of scheduling, and so was the HSA coordinator team. Did an outstanding job of listening to all feedback and making any needed adjustments, and the one time an online session was required due to scheduling, everything went super smoothly. Iman especially is outstanding! Our daughter made great strides working with her, getting through tons of material, honing testing skills, and building the kind of confidence that can really make or break the big day. She's amazing at giving day and week of prep advice above and beyond pen and paper. Thanks for all your hard work, HSA Tutoring!

I took the June LSAT and used the Manhattan resources extensively to help myself score a 177. The…read moreteachers were always timely, whether they were responding to questions posted in the extremely helpful online message boards, or meeting in person for tutoring. They all seemed very dedicated to their chosen profession and eager to help in any way possible. Personally, my greatest gain from Manhattan came from their clear and concise Logical Reasoning methodology. No fooling around with unnecessary classifications or anything like that, just telling you how to tackle the problems plainly and simply. They are serious about selecting and training their teachers, so the quality level is very high all around. I would definitely recommend Manhattan to a fellow LSAT prepper if they feel they would benefit from outside help during their studies.

Annis was extremely responsive before booking and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. The team arrived right on schedule and did an outstanding job on my move out clean. After living in the apartment for a while, the baseboards had collected dust and there was natural buildup in the kitchen, but when Annis and her team were finished, the apartment truly looked brand new. They also service the Providence area, so I highly recommend booking them for your next cleaning. I'm only moving out of the area; otherwise, I would absolutely be using them for regular cleanings.

I'm particularly impressed with the thoroughness of their cleaning in the bathrooms, oven/stove, refrigerator and stairway steps. The quote described in details of what it included in the price, and they performed exactly what they said they would do. The price was very reasonable and transparent. I would call upon them for my future cleaning and I highly recommend them to my tenants as well.

Learning Ally is a fabulous and easy way to volunteer your time to help people in need…read more Learning Ally, formerly Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic, creates digital voice recordings of textbooks for students who are unable to read due to either vision or cognitive difficulties. Volunteers complete a 90 minute training, then return to record a test demo to ensure the procedures are well-understood. After that, volunteers can select 2 hour shifts to come read in a recording booth at their convenience, M-F from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. (Fridays 5:30 p.m.). You need no special skills to volunteer, just an ability to read textbooks smoothly and operate a simple computer system. However, if you do have training in advanced science or mathematics, Learning Ally is always interested in training specialist readers who can pronounce terminology and correctly describe graphs, tables, and figures in these texts. I really like the flexibility of volunteering with Learning Ally. And let's be honest, it's a fairly emotionally easy volunteer position too (this coming from a girl who couldn't handle the heartbreak of the animal shelter). But at the same time, it's easy to imagine the people who are being helped by your efforts. I've read textbooks for people from grade schoolers and college students, and felt good that someone is advancing their education with my help. If you're interested in becoming a volunteer, call Learning Ally and leave a message (the phone is unmanned) with your callback number. They'll return your call and get you started. Happy reading!
