My son Was a senior this year and I reached out to Cardinal Tutors and was lucky enough to find the…read moremost amazing tutor. I wish I had found him earlier. Peter did an amazing job. He was extremely knowledgeable in his area of expertise. Accommodated my son ( who had very limited time due to spots training) with the times that he was available - between them they always came up with a solution. As for the company - they make us easy to contact your tutor, payments are set up in advance and feedback is always asked for. Great service.

We have used Cardinal Tutors for over 4 years for two of my sons in different courses: Alegebra,…read morePre-Calculus, and Calculus. Neil at Cardinal Tutors has always been attentive to finding the right personality to fit the needs of my two different sons. We also found them to be flexible and understanding about scheduling. When your kid needs a session to help with a big test: they need a session! The tutors themselves have been great: well-prepared, thoughtful and on-time. At each level of math needed, we found these Stanford students to be not just helpful tutors but great mentors as well. I not only would recommend them, I have recommended them to several friends and never heard a complaint. This is a first class operation.

Meeting a teacher who truly understands and supports a child is something incredibly meaningful in life.

Thank you for making such a positive difference in our child's growth and happiness.

I had a fantastic experience working with Peter Littlefield while preparing for my MCAT. He was…read moreincredibly thorough in his explanations and always took the time to break down complex concepts in a way that made them feel manageable. I never felt hesitant to ask a question because he created an environment where curiosity was encouraged and every question was met with patience and respect. Peter also helped me develop a structured and intensive review plan for my full length exams, which made a significant difference in how effectively I was able to study and track my progress. His guidance strengthened my understanding of the material and gave me the confidence I needed as I moved closer to test day. Peter is an exceptional tutor, and I recommend him wholeheartedly. He is a wonderful choice not only for MCAT preparation but for any science course. His dedication, clarity, and supportive teaching style truly set him apart.

From my son who is a Senior at Sequoia HS:…read more At first I didn't know if I wanted a college counselor at my mom's request but Ryan exceeded all my expectations and I don't regret a thing. I was lost during the beginning of my senior year and Ryan guided me through everything. Making a college list to start and explaining the college process, the different portals, and of course the supplementals. This was just the start. From working with Ryan I was already able to get comfortable with the college apps process and the timeline which would leave me with the least amount of stress. College apps is a stressful time and experience but he helps you throughout and ensures that you will meet every deadline. On top of all that is his help on your essays. He first helps explain the prompt and brainstorms various ideas with you. He revises and looks over every essay, giving edits and feedback from an experienced perspective. He helps you boost your activities list to make sure it's the best it can be, and it has descriptions that college admission officers will like. I really am glad I had Ryan as my college tutor and only knowing him from the beginning on August, I feel like we got lots of work done through his guidance. Easily 5 stars

I took an intro French course recently with Celine Val. I really liked the class and our teacher. I…read morethought it was reasonably well structured and that she did a good job teaching us first how to pronounce, then how to read and write. We studied formal and informal. If you have any background in a language I would suggest you refresh yourself and test into something other than the intro course. Starting at the beginning was perfect for me since I have never studied French before, but it was very, very basic stuff. Had I taken that level for a language I had previously studied I think I would have been bored. Pros: - Conveniently located to the 84 and 101 (and Caltrain?) - Convenient times after work - Great way to sample a new language to see if you're really interested in it. - You get to keep the text book (they are used, mine had writing it...) Cons: - When you are only meeting once a week it's really easy to say: "I'll study this weekend." "I'll study tomorrow." "Oh crap, class is tonight, I better study." - Cost - it's roughly $40 a class (give or take) so if you're going to stick with it long term it's going to add up. A college course may be cheaper (though with the way college tuition is these days maybe not?). Private lessons seem to run $30-$40+ an hour, so I think their costs are reasonable. It just adds up over time, which hurts my head when I do the math... - $50 one time set-up fee per student

I took private intro spanish lessons with Erick. He was very flexible with my scheduled and allowed…read moreme to have a different meeting time each week to accommodate my schedule. Erick did a great job of assessing my current level of proficiency and then adapting an appropriate curriculum to advance my skills. We met at the Menlo Park school at times, which is a very easy to access right next to the Facebook campus off of Willow Road. Other times we met at a location we decided upon. The staff at ABC were very helpful in my billing or any questions I needed to get answered. Highly recommend ABC for anyone interested in any foreign language, no matter what level they are in. They will have an instructor for whatever language you are interested in.

This is a long overdue review of QWERTY and Michael Perez. Our teen son needed additional help in…read moremath and he came highly recommended for good reason. Michael is emphatic, patient and great at explaining complicated math concepts. We used him for a few years and he was always easy to work with, communicated well and was readily available during crunch times, like finals, etc. More importantly, he gets kids who learn differently and is exceptional at understanding his students as a whole person. We always recommend Michael to anyone needing an outstanding math tutor. He is simply terrific!

We have repeatedly sent two kids through them for help on multiple subjects or challenges. We have…read morenever been disappointed. Michael is easy to work with, and getting into a groove with scheduling was straightforward. If we had a 3rd kid, we would likely use them all over again. 10/10

My son has been helped by Janet academically and social emotionally. He is a 2e child and having…read moreJanet who can recognize and appreciate his brightness and enthusiasm to learn while also helps him to overcome his frustrations toward writing with high interest writing curriculum is very critical for him. Every time after meeting Janet, I feel he is not only more confident about writing but happier about who he is. His teacher at school even recognized he would become more positive and engaged in class after he visits Janet. Another service we appreciate is consulting with Janet before his 504plan meeting. There are so many things I am navigating as a parent and I definitely want to focus on what's most important. I met Janet before our 504plan meeting and her insight as a parent and a former teacher really helps me to focus on what's most important. She also coaches my son to speak up for himself. It's always good when you have an experienced and understanding partner at your side practically and mentally. The positive relationships she built with my son has been beyond a writing tutor but as his asset to success other areas in elementary school years.

Our son has thrived with Janet's support. It has been amazing to see the way his approach…read moreto/comfort with writing has progressed over the past two years he's been working with Janet. She has taken the anxiety out of writing, teaching him that it doesn't need to be perfect, and helping him learn to organize and develop his thoughts on the page. This is our kid who couldn't write more than 2 sentences two years ago and who couldn't write without panicking. Those blockers that previously held him back aren't showing up at all now, and he has only ever seen his work with Janet as a fun part of his week. It never felt like "tutoring" at all.

My 15 year old son has been taking classes with Juni for over a year…read more We have been extremely happy with his instructors, he had two amazing instructors. Both instructors are highly qualified.. Both instructors always motivated and challenged him focusing on keeping his interest on their sessions with him - my Son has been coding on his own with the work they assign him throughout the week which is a big plus.. Furthermore, the customer service is phenomenal, professional and responds to my questions and concerns if any arraise promptly ( which is very important to me) .. That said, I would like to personally thank Ashley in Customer service who always goes above and beyond with helping me..

During that time, they still charged us $275.00 for the month of August! Yet we had ZERO lessons that month. Every time i ask when we will get a tutor, i get told that they can't locate any. What sort of company is this? When we first joined JUNI, a year ago, we were assigned a tutor fairly quickly. But then we dropped him because he would cancel at the last minute about 1 out of every 4 classes. That was ridiculous! The only reason i went back to JUNI in August was because my son enjoys their course. However. it's definitely time for us to find another source of coding classes. BUYER BEWARE
