I am reposting this from a buried review, but it is SPOT ON! The only difference is we were…read morecharged MORE than 10K. They might mean well, but the program is a scam. Please, do yourself a favor and save the 10K they are going to ask and DON'T DO IT. The warnings were all there. If you read the book by the "founder", you will find it has some very basic factual errors. A few pages in the book uses Albert Einstein as an example of this mythical lack of balance between left and right brain; however, the "facts" that it states about Einstein.. how he supposedly did poorly in math early on, didn't talk until later in life, did poorly in college.. well, they are popular myths, but not reality. However, despite the warning signs, I really REALLY wanted to believe this would be useful in getting my extremely gifted, but immature 7 year old to focus better and not be a disturbance in school due to "boredom". They put him a series of tests and showed me how the program would work and that he was the exact model for which this program was made. His brain was out of balance and they have the perfect fit. Look, it's right there on the sign. 10K and 6 months later.. NOTHING changed. He did the daily exercise routine, went to every appointment and while his "scores" showed improvement according to them. ("Oh, look, he went from a 1 to a 7 in BLAH") NOTHING changed. We still got calls from his school regarding his lack of willingness to sit still in class, his general disturbance. In our final session, as they showing me again how much his scores had improved over time, I mentioned, that it seems like nothing has really changed. This is when they tried to sell me ADDITIONAL classes, saying "well, you can't expect everything to be fixed in 6 months". Ignoring the fact that this is what they had told me would happen, we had seen no improvement beyond the fact that he was now 6 months older and had matured slightly in that time. This program wants to take credit for the natural maturity your child is going to gain during these formative years. However, having them take 1 sock off and preform a series of toe taps on a balance beam isn't balancing their brain.. it is just take your money and making you feel like you are getting somewhere and you will be so desperate to believe you didn't waste your money that you will hail any maturity gain on the program. Just don't do it!!!

I contacted Jenny about support my kiddo needs which wasn't her focus area (she supports more…read morekiddos with ADHD). Instead of just letting me go, Jenny was very helpful offering me advice and referrals to other professionals who do specialize in my kiddo's need area. This is the mark of a true professional who cares are helping children. Willing to redirect business to another professional who is better suited to help that kiddo because that is in the best interest of the child. Thank you Jenny.

I'm so pleased to write this review for Andrea. Our son was having difficulty In elementary…read moreschool. We had him tested by Dr. Alison Kawa. He was diagnosed with a processing deficiency. After finding out what was causing him issues we were referred to Andrea Chernin. They hit it off immediately. He never dreaded going to see her. He started to improve almost immediately. They saw each other weekly for many years. While he struggled in elementary school, he improved beyond our wildest imagination in both middle and high school. His GPA in highly school was 4.3, with 5/4's in all his AP exams. While grades were important to him, and to us, his growth and self confidence were instrumental in achieving a higher degree of personal and educational success. He is now a sophomore at the University of Michigan. While his issues will be a life long challenge, Andrea has given him the tools to navigate life in a positive and productive manner. If your child needs a kind and caring person, who knows how to cajole, motivate and inspire, then Andrea is your person. She is amazing.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. We worked with the team at Illuminate for nearly three years as…read morethey designed and delivered a custom program for our child to improve Executive Functioning as well subject-specific tutoring. When she began working with Kim at Illuminate just after her Freshman year, her grades were low, but worse, her confidence had taken a hit and we struggled to come up with a strategy to unlock joy in learning. Flash forward: Our child has had multiple 4.0 semesters, was awarded "Most Improved Academics" in her class, and received multiple college admissions offers (and sig. scholarship awards.) Beyond the grades and achievement, our child has developed a love of learning, has navigated her Executive Functioning issues, and has a strategy for ongoing academic success. There are no words to describe how gratifying it is to see her growth and confidence as she heads to college. This would not have been possible without the team at Illuminate.
