It's a great environment for kids of all ages to fill in the gaps in their education or to go beyond what they are learning in school. They are also compassionate and innovative when it comes to helping kids who need extra help. The structure and skills they integrate in the program help children grow into confident academics in school and beyond. Would definitely recommend!

Tutoring is not really a super exciting thing to review - that being said, as a parent that's…read moreexperienced good tutoring (ie: Higher Standards) and bad (they shall remain nameless), there's definately a difference. Higher Standards created an environment that allowed my daughter to learn effectively and actually show improvement (sounds like a pretty standard thing - but, there's the "other" place that didn't deliver). Convenience is also a factor they excell in - once, after my daughter left her books after a session, they showed up (after hours) to make sure I could get the books before school the next day. If your kids need tutoring - give them a call!

However, when I arrived in class, Devon made learning about mundane grammar and mathematics into an entertaining experience through jokes and puns.

She is thoughtful and creative with learning. My grandson recently was having difficulty with testing. His teacher was at a loss, because she told me he knew the answers, but testing he was failing. My tutor did not hesitate, she came with me to conference with the teacher and Vice Principal of the school. They told me having her there was insightful. They now know what will work with him. He is now testing at A-B grade level. This has been great for us, and my tutor is a well-qualified teacher, she would be an asset to any school, but I am glad she likes tutoring. I am going to continue through the summer months to keep him competent and self confident. His self confidence I owe to Club Z.

They completely master concepts before moving on to the next. Yes, it is an incentive based program (earning stars for prizes), but we figured out that what's my particular kid needed. I will say that at first, your kid will be upset at the assessment test. A kid behind in math might hate it because it makes them feel "dumb" and beg not to go back. As an adult, we know it is set up to be hard, to find out where you stand and where you need the help. Try to push through this if you can! There is light at the end of the tunnel. My kid went from hating and avoiding math for almost 3 years, to asking when she can go next. She is now so confident in math at school and proud of her knowledge, even helping others. I never thought that would happen. However, I believe you will need to go regularly and stay committed to your sessions to see the progress we did, which is up to you (you make your schedule - weekends included). Maybe you can't do other activities for a bit to get up to speed. That was a hard sacrifice for my kid, and the program isn't inexpensive. But the tutors are all math and engineering students from local schools, and Carol (owner) a strong partner in my kid's education, so I really believe it's money well-spent.
