My brother (two years older than me) started with Ibrahim first, and my family had such a great experience! When it came time for me to apply for college, I used Ibrahim as well! Firat Education managed everything for me, and their customer service is unbeatable. Scheduling was a breeze - all I had to do was my homework and show up! Ibrahim has an innate way of personally connecting with his students, and we got along immediately! He understood my interests, goals, and everything I dreamed of in a college to a T. I increased my ACT score by 9 points after working with them and got accepted into my dream school, University of Georgia. Throughout college, I returned to Firat Education for tutoring help and essay revision, graduating summa cum laude and with honors from the Terry College of Business. Since my experience, we have referred many family and friends to Firat Education. I continue to keep in touch with their staff to this day! Nurturing customer relationships is one of their core values, and they will no doubt help your student find the perfect college match!

They only did two check in practice tests and showed no improvement in his SAT score. (while he showed improvement in ACT after this, suspect them of giving him an easier test to show some improvement) When I asked about it they said it was ok because we haven't gotten to PHASE 2!!! Their top package of 35 hours includes no test taking tips just content and if you don't renew for several thousands more they view you as quitting their program and don't include your results in their stats. Such a rip off. The owner was arrogant, rude and didn't take any responsibility for their results. He lied in our meetings - so untrustworthy. Know others who had same experience. Had much better results with both Advantage for personal tutoring and even Testmasters for class setting. Either of these programs are much better alternatives. Embarrassed at how much money I wasted on them. total scam. His comment below is so disingenuous as he refused to discuss the situation once he realized we didn't want to continue to spend thousands more with them. He abruptly ended my son's tutoring refunding his remaining sessions and not finishing his package. (also do not remember giving you permission to share my son's scores, true to form)

This is my first review for Tutor Doctor because we have just started. I will write more as our…read moresessions go on, but I found it important to share with other parents who may be in the same situation we were....desperately looking for help for our child. We visited the other learning centers and quite honestly, they felt like I was going in to buy a gym membership. It was more about the pushy sales, bottom line and I felt like my child was more about there business plan to make dollars for the year. I didnt feel any compassion or true love for helping my child get through her challenges. After much research, I accidently ran across Tudor Doctor and called. The owner Parker was very helpful, extremely caring about the needs of my child and genuinely felt like she wanted to help and cared for my childs well being. We set up an in home appt and I felt the same when I wrote the check to start the sessions. This company is different. Parker took the time to get to know my child, her needs and is working to find a tutor to match her needs and my childs character. I am feeling great about this opportunity and will report back.....I just feel it had to be said! There are still people who care out there........business is second

We used Tutor Doctor this past summer to build up some math skills for my son. We were very…read morepleased with the service. The owner, Parker, met with us in our home to talk about my son's needs and to ask exactly what we were looking for in a tutor. By the end of the meeting she already had a tutor in mind. The tutor called me within a day or two to introduce herself and confirm our first session. She worked with my son throughout the summer and really boosted his skills. She was very sweet and kind and patient with him. She had many innovative ideas and activities to help him learn and kept it fun. If she was stuck in traffic or had any kind of problem at all I immediately got a text from her. She was very flexible and worked around our vacation and had no problem when we had to reschedule one day. Each week you receive a report stating exactly what the tutor worked on. It has the date, time of tutoring, and details of the session. With Tutor Doctor you buy tutoring hours for your family, not just a specific person. They can be used on any child in the household, which I think is a great idea. They also come to you, which is a huge time saver. If your child is struggling, give them a call. You will be pleased with the results.

The owner surely did a nice presentation to get parents to sign up there kids. Our kid was disappointed with their teachings/structure of the program. In fact, the course did not improve his test scores at all one bit. In fact he went down a point. and he's a top 10 student in his school. This was a complete waste of money and time for our child. No refunds after you make payment for the whole course either in the beginning even if you attended only a few classes. So read the fine line on the contract and look at some other test prep programs out there before jumping on this one. Cheers

She was extremely patient and had a good grasp of how to teach the material in a way that I could understand. She had me take a practice test first to determine where I was as far as my math and verbal skills, and, as expected, my weakest section by far was math. But thanks to her help, I was able to raise my scores on the math portion by 60 points on the actual test. I was extremely happy and would definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs tutoring for the GMAT, especially in math.

The advertisement of this low class facility, has you under the impression class sessions and instructions will be provided by Ms. Jackie a "vocational home economic certified teacher" all is completely false. If I could give this place zero stars I WOULD. I registered my son here and after I month I contacted the school regarding his progress/struggles. I was treated as if I wasn't suppose to inquire on what I'm paying for! Which is about $530.00 a month! Ms. Jackie is never at the facility and she doesn't teach the students, all instructions are provided by two girls with no educational background. After I didn't receive information on my sons progress, I informed them my kid will be withdrawing and to have Ms Jackie contact me because this is NOT what I thought I signed my kid up for. After hanging up the phone, I get an immediate alert from my bank, Ms Jackie instructed one of the girls to debit $270.00 from my card on file, all without my permission. OMG! THANKFULLY my bank credited the funds back to my account. Talk about low class! I have yet to receive a response to the email submitted to Ms Jackie nor has she phoned me regarding my concerns. Bottom line, this place is a rip off. Save yourself the trouble, there's only 2 students that attend this school in which one is Ms Jackie's daughter.

The tutor that we both ended up having was Mark. He was really nice, smart, and had a knack of breaking down the information and making it easy to understand.

They put me at ease with all of the offered services and made sure everything will work out with my schedule. Note: Be prepared to budget $$$$ and give yourself plenty of time to take your final test and all of the practice tests. If I remember correctly, the tutoring company recommends 3-6 months of preparation with at least 10 (ten) scheduled practice tests. I did it in 6-weeks with 2 (two) practice tests. I don't know where they found these tutors, but they are geniuses. Super geniuses. Thanks for reading! P.S. My other friend said that he paid much more for his GMAT classes. So, in the end, I had a good deal with the 1-on-1 help.

The sum of my experience has shown they do not know how to guide individuals to the correct content exams, or how to guide their candidates through the process. I completed the program, despite their lack of assistance. They have consistently poor communication - over-communication on minute issues, while being wildly vague on important steps in the process. They do force the opportunity to use "free" tutoring programs, but fail to inform you of all of their requirements to complete the program until you are up against them. They largely refuse to put their offers or promises into writing, so when further questioned, they can reverse course. There are other programs out there, and there are cheaper programs. The guidance and assistance offered in completing their program was nonexistent. There is no assistance when attempting to find a position. And finally - they will actively add roadblocks to your completion, under the guise of revamping their program.
