A few things I didn't like, the shower water pressure was very weak, and there was a branch hanging above the bed. I don't like the shadow of branches at night. Because of that, 4 stars. If you live in the Bay Area, it's still a nice mini getaway to relax and reset.

Liferaft Tutoring is a gift to parents and students alike. What an incredibly valuable…read moreorganization for any academic level, age student or subject. We were referred to Liferaft from a friend when my son came to me asking for help in finding a resource to tutor him through statistics. We had tried different independent tutors before and other organizations to no avail. We couldn't find a tutor that my son connected with or felt he could learn from. I contacted Liferaft immediately and heard back from its founder, Michael, right away. He assessed the situation and what resources my son needed. I was also coming to him very late in the game, less than five weeks away from finals. Michael matched us with an exceptional tutor on his team, a working teacher with a masters in education, within hours and we scheduled our first session. It was a match. Not only did Jen immediately start creating study guides for my son, but she reached out to his teacher, stayed on top of his progress and grades and stayed in contact with my son's teacher to find out the plan for the remainder of the semester. Jen kept me updated along with Michael and she checked in regularly. This group has incredible communication skills and are instantly responsive and reassuring to student and parent alike. My son was being taught without a text book or a structure for an outside resource to really be able to leverage. So, Liferaft ordered materials and the AP stats book to teach from. I quite honestly have never seen this type of effort from a tutor or tutoring firm before. They worked with him at their Scotts Valley location and several hours offsite in preparation for the final and the final projects and study guides. My son was able to hold his good grade with Jen and Michael's help and he actually learned a great deal from them. And, they helped me avoid a heart attack. I truly wish we would have discovered Liferaft years ago. The new Scotts Valley location is ideal for this district so don't wait to get your child engaged with this valuable resource as soon as possible. They make such a difference.

Higher Standards created an environment that allowed my daughter to learn effectively and actually show improvement (sounds like a pretty standard thing - but, there's the "other" place that didn't deliver). Convenience is also a factor they excell in - once, after my daughter left her books after a session, they showed up (after hours) to make sure I could get the books before school the next day. If your kids need tutoring - give them a call!

("Does Homework Really Help Students Learn? A conversation with a Wheelock researcher, a BU student, and a fourth-grade teacher-Bempechat: I think teachers assign homework in elementary school as a way to help kids develop skills they'll need when they're older--to begin to instill a sense of responsibility and to learn planning and organizational skills. That's what I think is the greatest value of homework--in cultivating beliefs about learning and skills associated with academic success. If we greatly reduce or eliminate homework in elementary school, we deprive kids and parents of opportunities to instill these important learning habits and skills. We do know that beginning in late middle school, and continuing through high school, there is a strong and positive correlation between homework completion and academic success."-https://www.bu.edu/articles/2019/is-homework-helpful/) Our kids are need it to have success in later adult life..
