Had an amazing experience with Idea Tutors!…read more After not taking a math class in years, I came in halfway through Calculus already failing the class and prepping for midterms. I also have a crazy hectic schedule as I work full time and am also going back to school. Nightmare client. I've never needed/gotten tutoring before so I was pretty skeptical but reached out anyway. Andrew connected me with Amy and she helped me catch up and pass the class. When I moved on to Calculus 2, I thought I might go it alone but quickly realized I couldn't hack it without help. I reached out again and worked with someone new, Teresa. She helped me go from failing the class to getting an A! Without the help of this group there's no way this could've been possible. I'm hugely in their debt. Both tutors were incredibly kind, patient, responsive, flexible and most of all, helpful. Andrew also is always kind and lightning fast responsive, exactly what you need when you're in a pinch. We worked together online using Skype and a great little whiteboarding app called Ziteboard. I was skeptical of that too, but it worked SO well and made scheduling so much easier! You pay for classes in a chunk but they practically instantly refund whatever you don't need. Cannot say enough nice things about Idea Tutors. Thank you!!

Where most people prepare for the test for months, we had four weeks. Before my boys started with Next Level, their scores were 4's, 5's and 6's. Four weeks later, after being prepared by Next Level, their scores were 7's, 8's and 9's. Need I say more?!?! Thank you, Next Level team!! You taught our children content as well as methods to take the test. You were encouraging and supportive. You managed to squeeze us into your already-packed schedules. And you made a HUGE difference in their scores and their futures!!!! You are all truly unbelievable!

So we went to Next Level Learning and got a tutor a couple months ago. The first tutor she worked with was excellent but he had some kind of family emergency and had to be gone for several weeks. The woman who took over was even better and things are going extremely well. Not only does my daughter feel like she's ready to go for the test but she's also feeling a lot more motivated about school in general. It was actually her choice to continue tutoring through the summer! I'm happy to be a reference for anyone looking for tutoring for their children (in New York City).

As a tutor, it can be difficult to find families to work with, which is why I began working with…read moreJanie. As it turned out, I signed up for more than just a company. Janie is incredibly supportive as a supervisor and always makes sure that I am able to do my best work. In terms of the families she works with, Janie's care and attention to each family is outstanding. Each time a tutor has completed a session with a student, the tutor writes a report that Janie reads in detail and sends to the caregivers of the student. She is really kept in the know of each student and keeps herself involved in their learning. She is in constant communication with parents and is always making sure that the student's individual learning is going smoothly.

Parents spoke highly of her communication and customer care. I can say only the most positive things about her as a supervisor - she really let me flourish as a tutor even more than I could do when I was in a classroom. She was open to ideas, gave guidance when necessary, really runs an A+ company. I would recommend Study Shack to any parent seeking quality instruction for their child, no matter the grade or subject, and would recommend it to any teacher looking for a home to provide tutoring services.

Sharon Thomas, Director of the MAIA Education Resource Center was one of his first tutors. In addition to building his skill in decoding and writing, Sharon helped to build his confidence and restore self-esteem. She guided us through the process of applying to special education schools, and my son transferred to the Stephen Gaynor School to complete elementary and middle school. We called for advice when he wanted to attend Bay Ridge Prep in Brooklyn for high school. Now a senior majoring in biology at SUNY Geneseo, my son is shadowing a renowned orthopedic surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital this summer. Without Sharon's early intervention efforts and expertise, my son would not be competing with his peers on a level playing field for college studies, let alone graduate work. He will be taking MCATs this year. I have referred her to friends whose children had learning differences, and each reported being very satisfied with the guidance and insights she provided as Director of MAIA. Her genuine concern, coupled with her depth of experience is exactly what distressed parents need when they seek answers on how to effectively manage a child's learning disability. Many parents are in a state of denial, or hope to hear there is a quick-fix for the child's issues. In addition to gently and expertly nurturing my son's intellect, Sharon was able to teach me patience and give me confidence that her process and approach would work. When it comes to problem resolution, she can help if parents/guardians have enough faith and discipline to trust what she has to offer.

I went from knowing nothing about the NYC school system to having a strong understanding of the strengths of several schools and confident in my ability to choose the best one for our daughter. I went in with a preconceived idea of what I wanted - Sharon gave us her professional advice and provided us with information so we could make our own decision. Thanks to Sharon's wise council, I quickly realized my original idea was not the best for our daughter. Sharon is kind and gentle when addressing sensitive issues. She is knowledgable and very connected with the educational community which helped us get through to the right people. I would go back to her again and recommend her highly to anyone looking for help finding the right place for their child.
