After nearly two years of…read moretutoring, my daughter's reading skills are at age level and her spelling skills have become much more solid. Laura is trained in a number of programs, which allows her to be flexible in her approach to ensure that her interventions are tailored to my child. The most important thing that has happened since my daughter began tutoring is that she has become much more confident, not only in her skills but in her ability to advocate for herself. Thank you, Laura, for all of your hard work! "She is an incredible tutor and an incredible person who has helped me make sense of words." My 11-year-old daughter's quote

I can't recommend Club Z highly enough. Sharyn took the time to get to know my son and found the…read moreperfect tutor for him. Kammie was amazing and after the first visit my son asked my why no one had ever explained the writing process like that before! Kammie was flexible, prompt, courteous and worked very well with my son. He is a junior at Wilson High School with a very busy sports schedule and Kammie was able to work around it and we really appreciate all her efforts!

I love club Z! Sharyn, the owner is great. She came to our house to assess my sons special needs…read moreand hire a specific tutor for him. He is on the autism spectrum and not always easy at all to work with. He was assigned Lissy, who is exceptionally patient with him, when is is not always happy to be tutored over his summer. He has gone from not knowing his multiplication facts to doing divisionin a matter of weeks. I definitely recommend Liss, Club Z and the one on one attention a chilod receives from this service.

First thing that needs mentioning, this school offers parents $50 for 5 star reviews. It's on the…read morefront page of their welcome kit. So keep in mind most of the reviews you will read i've been heavily influenced with free tutoring in exchange for positive reviews. My experience with the school was unimpressive. From the very beginning all they wanted to talk about was the payments and how much it was going to cost they didn't seem concerned with offering up any information about how the school runs. It felt like an extremely rushed process Focus was always around money. The intake person that we dealt with did not seem like she was that interested. Acted bothered by my questions almost. While we were in there the place seemed very disorganized. They claim to have a maximum of three students per teacher but they're all lumped into one noisy room. One of the main reasons I chose this place was because of its overwhelming reviews but now that I know that those reviews are bought and paid for and after my initial experience we chose to go a different route.

Scott Clyburn has created fantastic place for students to prepare for SSAT, SAT, ACT, LSAT, and…read moremore. I have been thrilled with the assistance and teaching my son received from Scott - precise, persistent, insightful. My son enjoyed and loved learning from Scott. A little bit of humor and cheerful attitude helped too. My son achieved ACT score he hoped for and eventually enrolled in a college of his choice. My niece worked with Matt to improve her LSAT score - she achieved significantly higher score in a short time!!! She acknowledges that Matt's help was decisive in her better LSAT score. I am so very happy to have worked with Scott and his wonderful colleagues at North Avenue and I truly admire their expertise and the place they have created - it gives confidence and trust! Thank you North Avenue Eduction!!!

North Avenue was crucial in keeping me accountable while studying for my GRE and has been a great…read moreadvisor in my future grad school decisions. Scott has built a really well organized and structured tutoring business. For me, this is a big plus as it has made their teachers and content more credible in a world of unreliable tutors who typically post their vague tutoring services on Craigslist (I know you've all been there). It's been really nice to call North Avenue Education 6 months after my exam and ask for some quick advice. The tutors never forget you and are always willing to lend a helping hand. A few pieces of constructive feedback: - Have a little bit of cushion in between sessions, so that you have time to review notes before a session or in the event your previous session runs over - Have both a structured and more free-flowing option when tutoring in english and writing. While these sessions were useful for me, I found them challenging at times, because I felt my instructor was trying to apply a tutoring methodology that didn't work for me. Be flexible! - Have open study space and/or office hours (which they do now, so yay! I am very excited about this.) All in all, I give North Avenue a 5 despite the feedback above, because I am really impressed with how much they care and want to improve their services. At the end of the day, that is the most important thing to me in a tutoring service! Thank you North Avenue!
