Charlie is a dear, sweet, kindhearted, and tenacious child who loves making people feel valued. The…read morequalities he has always had now shine more brightly than ever. Early in third grade, I sensed something was off but couldn't pinpoint it. At home, he struggled to follow directions and became short with our family when things didn't go as he expected. That wasn't "The Charlie" I knew. I began researching right away and contacted his teacher and pediatrician. His teacher, Mrs. Smith, said she had noticed changes too--he was having trouble staying on task and following directions. His pediatrician suggested we have him tested. When I got this news, I was at a crossroads and a loss. I felt defeated in a way, I wanted Charlie to get tested for ADHD but I did not want him labeled for the rest of his school career if he did in fact have ADHD. I didn't want to medicate my child either. Feeling like there were no other options, I fell into a depression of sorts because I could not find an answer to help my son. Two weeks after the conversation I had with Charlie's teacher an ad came across my Facebook for Brain Balance. I was intrigued and clicked on the AD. I studied over the website over the course of 2 days and mustered up the courage to fill out the questionnaire form and once I hit submit we have not looked back. Charlie came to Brain Balance for testing while I met with Meghan, who walked me through each step of the process as it happened. After he finished, Meghan reviewed every assessment and explained the results in detail. I cried, laughed, and--most of all--felt empowered by finally having answers. Physically, Charlie was an 8-year-old boy, but developmentally he was functioning closer to age 5. Imagine being a typical third-grade student, listening to a lesson and then being expected to complete a worksheet or homework--yet not having the ability to make sense of it. No wonder he was frustrated; his brain simply couldn't process what he was being taught. Knowing this helped me feel hopeful, because we had identified the roadblocks and had a plan to remove them so his brain could function at his age level. Charlie handled the entire process with confidence. He never once complained about going to Brain Balance--in fact, he loved being there, and the challenges were right up his alley. He was always eager for more. Within a few weeks of starting, I noticed small changes, and as the months went on, those changes became huge strides toward functioning like the 8-year-old he is. The Brain Balance staff have made this journey supportive and manageable for our family. Charlie gained tools he can use for life to process and navigate challenges as they arise. I truly have an improved Charlie--our "Charlie 2.0." Thank you, Brain Balance, for helping our Charlie shine his brightest. Remember his name, because he is going far in this world.

If you are looking for a tutor, I would not advise going through Varsity Tutors. You'll be…read morepressured to sign up for the most expensive tutoring package they can squeeze out of you (due to the pressure their sales force is under to "close" as quickly as possible) and will find it nearly impossible to cancel your contract. They try to bury their negative reviews by using unethical software that cherry picks the best ones. They couldn't possibly have many good reviews -- since they pay their independent contractor tutor "experts" who are also encouraged to lie about their credentials and use Nerdy AI to support sessions $18 an hour.With that said, you can really do just fine for free for most of your tutoring needs using Chat GPT. Anyway -- I worked for VT for six months. I was lied to every step of the way regarding earnings, bonuses, their mission, their commitment, etc. They also encourage their sales people to lie starting on Day 1 -- faking education credentials so their "credibility statement" will be likely to be trusted to warm leads who don't realize they are about to be scammed out of hundreds or thousands of "committed" dollars. I was the real deal. I have a PhD in English, a 20+ year history of teaching at the college level, and really thought we were there to help people -- not make our managers their monthly bonus or ensure their managers get the December "Vacation weekend" at a tropical location. Gosh, I offered many times to help redesign their training so my peers wouldn't be dropping like flies, so it wasn't so rushed, so sickeningly fast-paced we couldn't think straight, and with so much rushed pressure to be promoted and make more money! Started drinking alcohol regularly (packed on ten chubby pounds) just to combat the toxic vibe and chronic fear we were "striking out" if not closing sales with impossibly hyped, entirely unrealistic goal numbers given how many sales people are employed. The turnover and mass lay offs are outrageous, so expect not to last unless lying to protect your own selfish interests is your speciality. Also expect to receive intimidating requests to complete work for free that you were unable to do in a timely manner (not because you're slow but because the frenetic pace is the DESIGN). There's no paid time provided to process what you've just learned -- and then you have to complete lengthy evaluations and also catch up on trainings on your own dime. Also, good luck thinking you're working on good company hardware even when promoted to a Senior Sales Consultant. It's a Mac Air. The Mac Air is designed for CASUAL use at best (probably costs them $50 a laptop), and yet Live Learning Technologies (Varsity Tutors is just one loser company owned by money-grabbing Chuck Coen) uses some of the most energy-gobbling Communication System software on the planet. The operating system crashes constantly, but you'll be blamed for that -- unless it's a month they can't afford to pay bonuses, in which case the glitchy management tracking software will be blamed and gosh darn it, they just can't confirm how many calls you took. You also have to provide your OWN ethernet cable. My manager actually blocked me from being able to email him through documentation I could prove. Had to take screenshots on Slack. Literally, it's Middle School level shenanigans there -- right down to them calling United Health Care the SAME DAY they fired me -- lying and telling them I'd found insurance elsewhere so I wouldn't have health insurance through the end of the month. Well, heck, that's actually illegal. I reported them, but no one apparently cares since the company is still in business. I really did try to ride it out for that six figure promise, but toxic management (my managers both said they pride themselves on forcing "Toxic Positivity" in group channels) made the workplace intolerable for me. It was bad enough working with that shoddy computer equipment (the 15" Mac Air is so tiny you have to buy your own monitor). I mean, c'mon. What company can't afford to send a large monitor to handle the multi-screen requirements of a remote job or an ethernet cable to ensure a wired connection that would minimize call drops? My first laptop with them even had the wrong software on it. It was disheartening to work for a company that rushes everyone to the point of frantic fear, encourages falsification of credentials in scripted conversations, and invites staff to lie about their employment to the very tutors we are encouraged to work with.   Varsity Tutors also employs a highly unethical and trust-destroying goal/bonus structure that doesn't roll out at the very beginning of each month and keeps sales agents questioning their earnings up to the week before bonuses are adjusted/earned/denied. Wanna know how I got my first of Behavioral Warning? My manager told me to keep quiet about design flaws, errors, and insufficient time to complete a new Flex training. Right. Dr. Kimberly Free
