My experience with Partners With Parents was not for my child but for me. With the birth of my…read morechild I wanted to go back to college to finish up my degree. I had to take placement exams in math and English. English, no problem, use it all the time. Math on the other hand was a different story. I used it at work sure but I didn't have to factor. Quadratic formulas and multiplying complex fractions were things I hadn't done in close to 20 years so I needed some help. I found PWP at the suggestion of a friend who had experience with them. I hired them for basically one intense math review session. I forget the name of the tutor I had but she was on point. Prepared, had hand-out's and give me a great review of what I should expect on the exam. I didn't pass but that was my own fault. I took the info she gave me and crammed the heck out of it and I just missed a passing score. Not bad I thought since it was almost 2 decades since I bothered to look at this stuff. I really should have have a few more sessions and I'm sure I would have nailed it if I had. It was the absolute values that did me in I think. At the time I would put down 2 for an answer instead of |2| for example and after I finally did learn to do ALL the math I remembered thinking that I had a lot of those types of questions on my test. So if you need a tutor for yourself or your child I would highly recommend them. I saw improvement after only one session but really should have planned on more. They suggested it but I was too stubborn at the time thinking I could do it on my own (and I almost did too). I'm sure they will be happy to answer any questions you have about any tutoring needs you may have for your kid(s).

My son had only 2-3 weeks to prepare for the Specialized High School Exam which is very important…read morefor a child who lives in a low income neighborhood in the South Bronx. This exam could potentially be life changing. My husband and I decided we would invest in a tutor but unfortunately most tutors were charging an arm and a leg. Not affordable for parents who are struggling. We found a website called Partners with Parents which stated in three words what we were looking for. I called on a Friday, got a return call on Monday and a bio of a potential tutor that same afternoon. Daniel was my sons tutor who had availability to meet with my son at least 2-3 times a week. The sessions were incredible and he gave my son homework assignments to complete. My son completed the exam on the 20th and I truly believe he did much better due to the tutoring sessions, I would recommend this service to parents everywhere.
