Currently in the middle of a 6 week introduction to sewing class with Sew Anastasia and am amazed…read morewith how much I have learned so far! I have already used a sewing machine and serger and was introduced to different stitches and hem styles. I especially love the set up for her classes - Anastasia and her assistants walk around assisting students and she introduces new material via projection screen. Every class ends with a mini project that summarizes what we learned that day. Unrelated to sewing, she has super cute cats that mosey around class looking super adorable!

My friend and I took the beginner 6 week sewing class. In the first class we learned how to use the…read moremachine, multiple stiches and even made a scrunchie! Anastasia is fantastic at building within the session and by the end of the classes you can follow a sewing pattern. Each class you make something new. This class was so much fun with Anastasia and George being super helpful throughout the class. We even had two little kitty helpers, Lily and Iris. This class gave me the confidence to buy my own machine. Thanks guys!

We highly recommend Academic Approach. They always think of everything. Our first child used their…read moreservices and did great; now it is our daughter's turn, and 8 years later they are still just as good at what they do. From the very first day, Academic Approach delivered. You were awesome to work with, made these tests so easy to understand for us, and took care of all of my daughter's testing and academic needs. You are the best! Thank you so much.

Hands down would not be where I am today without Academic Approach. They helped me decide between…read moretaking the ACT or SAT. Once we decided on the ACT they helped me raise my score by eight points. I was able to get into the college of my choice early decision. It's within walking distance or a short bus ride from at 3-4 nearby high schools so it was super easy for me to get there after school on my own. I really appreciated being able to take a timed practice test about once a month. Come test day I was super comfortable with the timing and was able to perform my best. It's pricey but it's one of the bet investments my parents made.

If you are applying to become a tutor, do not believe a single thing they tell you about your…read moreposition being secured until you are past the general orientation. They told me, word for word, that I am "past the point of being weeded out, barring extreme circumstances" then reject me with the reasoning that "the team doesn't feel there is a strong enough match to move forward" after wasting weeks of time that I would have been searching for other jobs had they not told me I secured this position. This went beyond unprofessional, it was downright amoral the way they told me I was in, strung me along, then pulled the rug out from under me at the last second.

Grace was so helpful to prepare me for all my tests for high school and super awesome ! She was super supportive and kind and answered all my questions. She was always open to help.

I am not an active yelper…read more Never really felt the need to post--except one when we suffered through Budget rent a car in San Diego (still a bit miffed). However, this team's exemplary service compelled me to post. As a parent of three, I want my kids to find calm and confidence amidst the educational challenges that they must confront. This group--although a wee more expensive--was totally worth it. Kind, courteous, yet challenging, they have the right patter, cadence and expertise to connect with any kid--both those that struggle and also with those that excel. That is a rare quality. Give them a whirl. Your kid will thank you.

I provided him all of my practice worksheets and he helped me work through and understand every single problem on all of my practice sheets. I got a 90% on the physics final!

Thank you so much for all of your help!
