She had months of work to make up during the summer and was struggling in class. We had tried multiple tutors from other places but done had made a difference. In fact, she was beginning to doubt her abilities due to the situation. Sylvan Learning Center saved the day. Really. She went from a C- and hating math to a B- within a month, then to an A. She currently wavers between an A and A+! We are so thankful and highly recommend this center. She will be taking summer courses and high school prep with them as well.

Matt brings deep knowledge, excellent teaching materials, and a highly effective approach to tutoring. He is an exceptionally qualified professional. Thanks to Matt, AP US History has become far more engaging for my daughter, and she showed impressive results from the very first session.

We truly appreciate your work and highly recommend your services.

We've been working with Sophia Sears for about 1.5 years on writing and she's been a phenomenal…read moretutor. Her expertise, dedication and passion for writing has directly helped my elementary school child grow tremendously as a writer (w/ additional proof in standardized tests). She has provided resources, frameworks and scaffolding that have directly helped deepen the learning process on topics like personal narratives, summarizing and themes. Having a tutor who also acts as a thought partner on all things writing, has also been lovely. Finally, Sophia has also introduced my child to new genres of books and created special writing units related to school assignments, events and trips. These have all provided extensive new background knowledge which make learning very enriching. She truly goes above and beyond, as you can see from all the other rave reviews on yelp! Can't recommend her enough, she is amazing!

Dipti is an incredible tutor for physics, calculus, and even college essays. She asks thoughtful…read moreguiding questions that actually make you think, instead of just giving answers, and she always makes sure there's time to pause for me to take notes. Her explanations are concise but still super informative--she can literally summarize an entire unit in a day without it ever feeling rushed or overwhelming. For ACT prep, we only had about a month, and as someone who really struggles with standardized tests, she made the whole process finally make sense. With her strategies and support, I was able to raise my reading score from a 29 to a 35, which I honestly never thought was possible. AJ Tutoring as a whole is an amazing place. Everyone is kind, welcoming, and genuinely supportive, and they even think about the small details like snacks, which makes a big difference during long sessions. I couldn't recommend Dipti or AJ Tutoring more.

StrivePath has been an incredible partner in guiding my daughter through her high school and…read morecollege planning journey. What makes them different is that it's not just about admissions, applications, or checking boxes. They took the time to truly understand her as a whole person, her strengths, her values, her motivations, and what genuinely lights her up. Instead of pushing her toward a particular school or path, they helped her explore her "why" and make decisions that align with who she is becoming as a young adult. That kind of guidance is rare. The team at StrivePath created an environment where she felt heard, supported, and empowered, not pressured. The confidence and clarity she has now is something every parent hopes for their child during such a big phase of life. I cannot recommend StrivePath enough for any family navigating high school or college decisions. They go far beyond academics; they help your child understand themselves. And that is the greatest gift.

Very happy with Strivepath…read more We previously had a mediocre experience with a different group we stopped using halfway through....entry level staff person was our main POC....offered very little direction and the communication was not clear. I wanted precise communication, a well thought out plan. There is so much grey area and uncertainty as you go through this process. Stridepath really helped explain how we could put our best foot forward. They have a very thorough and thoughtful process and were actively engaged with a student. Their team is professional and experienced.... No rookies. Sana, our lead, has a great deal of experience with the college admission process which helped give us clarity on what we needed to do and what schools to go after. Sana and my son did all the work. Us parents came in at a few junctures but for the most part, we were not involved. At the end we reviewed the essays and helped our son hit send. Most of our applications are submitted and fingers are crossed. Even though the outcome is uncertain, I feel like Strivepath gave us our best chance to achieve our future college students goals.

AJ has and was recommended by several of our friends who have sent their boys and girls to there with great results. I was fortunate enough to get to know Joe beforehand and was able to instantly see the passion he has for kids education and the care they take to recruit and train the best tutors.

Caleb is extremely…read moreprofessional, listens attentively to the individual needs and goals of the student and parent, and goes above and beyond to ensure the success of his students. He was recommended to me by a parent whom he successfully tutored with great results as well. I was especially impressed by him when there was a practice test hiccup, was super responsive in resolving the issue, and took it upon himself to do a personal makeup for my son. I highly recommend Caleb as a 5-star tutor for test prep. Overall, our experience with AJ was very positive, but there is significant room for improvement for practice test sessions. My son took two practice tests that were not well-organized and frustrated him because he had prepared for them only to feel like his time was wasted. I provided direct feedback to AJ because I was surprised that that this happened twice in a row to my son. I expected a premium tutoring service like AJ to be able to run practice test sessions routinely and smoothly because when they don't it causes additional stress and time on the students and parents. I hope AJ takes this as constructive feedback for the future.
