My daughter has been seeing Sandra now for two months and has already made some great strides…read more After only the very first meeting, we had learned some great tips from Sandra that had an immediate impact on a couple of areas she struggles with on a daily basis. Since then, my daughter looks forward to her weekly session, and has been gaining in confidence and enthusiasm in the classroom. Sandra is truly an integral part of my daughter's team - working closely with us (her parents), her teacher, an my daughter -- valuing her as a person and helping her to recognize and utilize her talents. I feel lucky that we have found Sandra!

Ever since my youngest struggled in first grade I have sent all my kids to Kumon. I credit Kumon…read morefor teaching my kids to read, write and do math. Each student progresses at their own speed and accuracy. Kumon math doesn't cover geometry but I believe their coursework does go up to calculus. Your child goes to the Kumon learning center twice per week for about 30 minutes per subject. They are given Kumon homework to do at home every day. Your child may not like it but a little daily practice will truly add up to academic success in their future. Kumon is a franchise so if you move you can do Kumon in your new location as well. The instructors and owners are very skilled, organized and friendly.

I had been studying for the GMAT for a few months before I came to Simply Brilliant. While I tested…read morewell at home in practice exams I choked in the testing center. It was obvious that I lacked both an effective strategy and correct mindset to tackle this very important component to my MBA application. Stuart was incredible. He's able to teach the GMAT in an easy digestible format. He tailored our sessions to tackle my weaknesses, showing me techniques that helped me save time and increase accuracy. Most of all Stuart was extremely encouraging and positive throughout our time together. It's obvious he cares about his students. For me that made all the difference. I was accepted to some exceptional programs and have enrolled at UNC Chapel Hill Kenan-Flagler Business School with a full tuition scholarship. I'm thrilled at my results and it's largely thanks to Stuart. I would recommend Simply Brilliant to anyone who is looking for GMAT success!

My daughter has an IEP and gets daily pull-outs for help at school, but her doctor suggested that we also supplement with tutoring. Before my daughter started tutoring, she was very frustrated and didn't even want to try to read. Now she is confident and excited to read, and not afraid to try. We are very happy with how her reading level has increased since we started tutoring. ​My daughter has also increased her math skills. If you are looking for a tutor for your elementary-age child, I would highly recommend her.

Ms. Leslie helped me navigate the School System as well and get my son to be recognized as having a Specific Reading Disorder, to get additional support in the school. I continue to be amazed at how much my son loves going to see Ms. Leslie, even as he is complaining about not wanting to go to school every day (not sure if you can relate to that at all?? ;0) The vast knowledge that Ms. Leslie has in this area is truly a vision to behold... her systems are artistic in a way, finding new avenues to bring even more success out of my son. I am forever indebted to what she has given my son... it goes way beyond reading. it is about restoring his faith in himself, that he is not "Stupid" but just has a brain that is amazing and unique. We continue to work with Ms. Leslie and plan to for years to come, with our other sons.

We immediately began searching for a tutor, in the hope that we could help Matthew with his struggles. After reading about the methods applied at Student Learning Recovery, we decided to give them a try. Leslie of Student Learning Recovery worked with Matthew and was able to identify key areas where he was deficient, below grade level in certain areas. Leslie applied her methods of Visual Perception Therapy twice a week, and we began to see improvement over the course of several months. Matthew's teacher also noticed that he was now keeping pace with the class. Matthew finished the school year strong, passing his End of Grade (EOG) exams for math and reading comprehension. Thank you Leslie for helping Matthew succeed in school!
