I'd give zero stars if I could…read more When we first started looking for a nanny for our kids, 4 years and 5 months old, stability was our top priority. We had a long chat with Linda from Jovie about this, and I honestly thought we were on the same page. We trusted them to find us a nanny who would be with us long term. Here's what happened. Our nanny, who was fantastic and really clicked with our kids, ended up leaving for another job Jovie showed her only after being with us for 11 weeks. Once we found out we spoke with our nanny and she said she loved our family, in fact she told us it was a difficult decision to make and she would love to come back if we needed her for date night,etc. This new position Jovie showed her had a schedule that better fit her needs. What's unprofessional is that Jovie didn't give us a heads up until the day before she was set to leave, though they knew about it four days earlier. That hit us hard because it was unexpected, and it put us in a bind trying to figure out what to do next. Two replacements were offered. One with limited experience, her qualifications showed she had only 1 day of infant training. The other replacement we weren't shown a resume because she had not completed orientation. We were not interested in these two options. We were very clear we wanted long term care and ultimately this internal transfer our nanny made hurt our children's wellbeing. And seeing our 4-year-old so upset and confused about why his nanny just disappeared has been the hardest part. Our family trusted Jovie and they let us down and most importantly let our children down. I'm not one to complain, but I feel I have to be straight with other parents out there. Based on what we went through, if you're looking for dependable, long-term childcare, you might want to think twice about Jovie. It's a tough lesson we learned about the difference between what a company promises and what they actually deliver. Shame on Jovie and Linda for putting our kids and family through this emotional situation.

I can not recommend ELP highly enough! My bright, funny, hardworking AP level high school student…read morewas struggling and John and Stacy at ELP were the answer. They met with him, built a trusting relationship and customized a program for him that focused on his learning strengths. They work with him on recognizing his weaknesses and teaching him strategies to work around them. The personal attention and care along with the excellent communication with me has been more than I could have hoped for. My student looks forward to his tutoring sessions every week which is a night and day difference, he is so confident now. The newly developed high tech office is very unique in that they have a multitude of settings in which to work, everything from a private office to conference rooms. They are right off 294 so it is pretty easy to get to as well.

Unlike the cookie-cutter approach so common in storefront tutoring centers, Enlightened Learning…read morePathways is changing the face of student support. Because the needs all students vary so widely, ELP develops a customized program targeting areas of need. Academic challenges are often a symptom of underlying social and emotional concerns. Because it's personalized, ELP can provide academic support and career coaching in a warm, safe, comfortable environment. Every student who is overwhelmed by the academic demands and expectations of life can find the path to success at ELP. I cannot recommend them enough!

Avoid C2 Education of Buffalo grove at All Costs I enrolled…read moremy child in C2 Education hoping for structured prep and academic support, but the experience was a complete disaster from start to finish, largely due to director and the center's systemic failures. Save your money and sanity. C2 Buffalo grove's glossy marketing hides incompetent leadership, unqualified staff, and predatory refund tactics. Look elsewhere - even free online resources are more effective than this overpriced chaos. Communication is nonexistent. Phone calls go unanswered for days, emails are ignored or replied to with vague one-liners. Teaching quality is abysmal. The assigned tutor spent half the session on unrelated tangents figuring how to make laptop work. Refund policy is a scam. After 2 worthless sessions, I requested a prorated refund for the remaining hours we'd prepaid. The director cited a contract clause buried in fine print. That was in contrast to what we were told before they sold us the classes. We were told we can get money back as long as the refund request was made within 30 days. Of course they didn't honor that.

He objectively evaluated our son's strengths and weaknesses, identified gaps--especially in quantitative skills--and worked closely with him to address those areas. Stefan's deep knowledge of admissions and test prep ensured our son targeted schools that fit his profile and goals, and he provided invaluable support throughout the process. Stefan's professionalism and expertise made a real difference for our family. My wife and I would recommend him to anyone seeking high-level, personalized admissions guidance and GMAT prep.

My children, ages 10 & 8, started taking piano lessons/voice with Tamar over 4 months ago and…read morequickly learned to read notes and sing with some great singing exercises! Tamar is very patient, knowledgeable and she so skillfully meets each student at their individual level. Lessons are engaging and seem to be well-organized, and communication is always clear and professional.

Thank you Tamar for being so kind and patient with my kiddos! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Tamar is an excellent tutor - and what makes her so excellent, and unique, is that not only does…read moreshe know Hebrew (as a native speaker), but she also knows how to teach Hebrew. My two girls (ages 11 and 9) have worked with Tamar over the past year. We began working with her to supplement the Hebrew education our girls were receiving in Hebrew School. My oldest daughter expressed interest in learning more Hebrew, so we looked for, and found, a wonderful Hebrew tutor. Tamar works with both of our daughters at the same time (during the same hour) but manages to successfully individualize their Hebrew instruction. Over the course of the year, Tamar has learned what motivates them and how to motivate them! She is very patient with both girls and is so supportive of their progress. They both look forward to working with her because she is just so genuinely encouraging. Tamar cares about their Hebrew instruction, and it shows. She has brought over games, songs, and supplements that continue to engage my girls. Both girls have improved their Hebrew tremendously. My oldest is a fluent reader and while preparing for her Bat Mitzvah, is also simultaneously learning Hebrew as a language. My youngest has learned all of her letters and is an emerging reader (with consistent, steady progress). Tamar is warm, gracious, patient, dedicated, caring and works engaging her students. I can not recommend her more highly. She is a gem in the world of educators and we are so fortunate to be working with her.

Physics can be a difficult subject to grasp and, frankly, many teachers don't make it very…read morerelatable to students. Mr. Podo is the one Physics teacher I know that bucks that trend. His passion is contagious, and he uses examples/materials that kids find engaging. For example, he used a scene from the Fast and the Furious to illustrate a difficult concept (centripetal/centrifugal force?). Being able to grab a kid's attention is half the battle these days -- then being able to take difficult subject matter and make it relatable to hold their attention -- very rare in a teacher. I'd highly recommend Mr. Podo to "level up" (my kid's term) your child's knowledge/grasp of physics. Money well spent for sure.
