My two daughters attended NYC public elementary, middle and high schools. Bee Tutored played a big…read morepart in the academic success of my girls, as neither my wife nor I were expert enough in mathematics and science to guide them through challenging patches. Over six or seven years, we've used an equal number of tutors. Owner Kate Pritchard was extremely responsive and did a good job matching my daughters' challenges with a tutor (usually college aged or recently graduated from college) who had absolute mastery of the subject. Only on one occasion did we ask for a rematch. Bee Tutored sent over a replacement tutor the following week -- and we continue to use him 16 months later for my daughter, a senior at Brooklyn Tech. We credit the work of Bee Tutored during middle school, along with SHSAT prep classes, with helping my youngest gain admission to one of the specialized high schools, Brooklyn Tech. Had the Bee Tutored tutoring center opened several years ago, we would have availed ourselves to their SAT and ACT college test prep, which our girls took at Kaplan. They found Kaplan sterile and uninspiring, not to mention disorganized. Test grades were often not posted on time and classes were canceled without advance notice. My oldest daughter saw no improvement in her score from PSAT to SAT, even after taking the Kaplan course twice. Bee Tutored is the antithesis of for-profit, corporate tutoring mills like Huntington, Sylvan, Kaplan and Princeton Review. Anytime I have wanted to speak with the owner, Kate, I reached her via email and phone. She takes pride in her business and the success of kids receiving tutoring from Bee Tutored. As a longtime customer of the business, I attended the open house for the new tutoring center and met the Scratch computer programming tutor and the SHSAT prep tutor. They were just like the young adults that have mentored my kids over the years -- bright, warm and eager to teach. I recommend Bee Tutored to any parent who doesn't have the time and/or skills to help his or her kid with homework and test prep. They've come through for me over many years and I have two smart, confident daughters to show for it.

My daughter has taken his group classes in biology, writing and literature and he has tutored her and a friend in algebra and geometry. Adam teaches the subject, makes it fun and is able to break things down into just the right size pieces, so my daughter feels challenged but not overwhelmed. He also is able to teach different solutions, helps kids see new ways, and meets them where they are. See you in the fall, Adam!

Brooklyn Math Tutors matched our daughter, a student at Stuyvesant High School, with a great tutor (an MIT grad) who not only knows math and science but also knows how to explain the topics and to connect with our daughter's learning style. In addition, Alexander Friedman, the founder of Brooklyn Math Tutors, truly cares about education and learning, and he has been a thoughtful partner in helping us think through and address the challenges of our daughter's rigorous STEM coursework. We recommend Brooklyn Math Tutors without reservation. Our only regret is that we did not discover Alex and Brooklyn Math Tutors earlier.

I started out not really enjoying the topic, but now I find much more interest math. I was very pleased with my tutor and she helped me improve and gain confidence in math and testing taking.

I worked with my son last summer (2020) to help him prepare for the SHSAT. We made progress, but…read morewe hit a wall after a couple of months. My son was close but not quite up to the level he needed to be to get an offer from any of the specialized schools. He was burned out, and the uncertainty about whether, when, and how the SHSAT would be administered didn't help. It wasn't until mid-January, a little more than two weeks before the test, that my son regained enough enthusiasm to refocus. I got in contact with Ed, and he very quickly set up a short series of private sessions for my son with Adnan. I had my doubts about how much could be accomplished in just a few sessions, but these were put to rest in the first 10 minutes working with Adnan -- it was clear that he had the expertise to quickly assess my son's strengths and weaknesses and make very productive use of the limited time available. After four sessions my son felt a lot more comfortable with material he had been struggling with and confident about his prospects. I was very pleased and highly recommend Antoine Education. (While the test results would not have impacted my review, I decided to wait until the receiving them in hopes of having a better story to tell. We got good news from DOE this past week, and I have no doubt that Adnan's tutoring gave my son the boost he needed.)

I never used a cleaning service before but when we had a baby it was just a luxury that really helped us. I never have to worry about anything, I get a text msg so I can communicate with my top-notch cleaner, Nicole B. if I need to tell her something. I've used them now for almost 4 years and in that time, we had 3 cleaners, on the rare occasion something has happened, they are able to switch on the go, with no lapse in service to me at all, and the cleaning is just as good. I really like my present cleaner Nicole B. for various reasons; she is a lovely person, she is reliable, she cleans well! But she also improvises; sometimes I run out of various supplies (thanks Covid) she adjusts no problem. The day she cleans is our favorite day. I've also used them for nanny searches etc and while I didn't end up hiring one from Apiari, the quality of the candidates was great. Overall, extremely happy and have never looked back.
