I would definitely recommend this business. The experience we have received fosters a family…read morecommunity feeling. We aren't just treated as clients or income. Kim and her staff take a vested interest in our child and truly support him. The owner, Kim, is very involved and absolutely supports our child. She took time out of her busy schedule to drive to our community outside Salem and advocate for our son at his IEP meeting. I'm very impressed with the services we have received. Our child ID progressing slower than normal. It isn't for a lack of effort and support. If you are a struggling parent you you believe your kid isn't receiving the education they deserve from public schools. Please know this is a valuable resource. I attribute the majority of his recent success to this program. It isn't a fast process, but it's a reasonable option over watching your child drown in a stagnant education system.

Stay away from Salem Tutoring Center!…read more The facility is understaffed, extremely unprofessional, disorganized, and often do not answer phone calls for an entire week. They don't apologize or even acknowledge this, and are both quite curt and rude. The office is very shabby and run down, like a free clinic, and every corner is bursting with clutter and chaos. It is not a calming environment for children to focus, it is a scattered, bustling, tense flurry, run by two people who have no interpersonal skills whatsoever. It's almost as if the Salem Tutoring Center could have been a used car lot three months ago. Things are placed randomly, there is no ambiance, and there isn't one quiet area that would be conducive to learning. The person who administers tests is known to forget or lose entire portions, only realizing it days later, which delays the entire process, and you cannot get a phone call returned no matter how urgent. It does not seem like this is the business these people wanted to be in, but just fell into it. The tutoring I observed was lukewarm, and the child(ren) were talked at, and never responded as though they had learned. They just left when their time was over. I would have nothing to do with the Salem Tutoring Center for any reason. I urge parents to explore tutoring through local high schools, Chemeketa Community College, or private high school students. If you set foot inside, you would see exactly what I've referenced.

The staff their turned extremely negative and were attempting to guilt me into keeping my child enrolled. It was blatantly a ploy to continue a revenue stream. I was disgusted by how unprofessional they were willing to act for money. I was, and am currently, disgusted by them.

Her positivity is absolutely contagious. Thank you, Kaity, for all you have done for our family. We love you!

That one success then enabled me to have the confidence to then take on a pre-med baccalaureate program (during which she helped me with chemistry and organic chemistry). And now I'm rocking it in medical school! I would not be who I am today without the empowerment Kate gave (gives!) me; it's not just study tools and help with topics that stand out for me, but even more important, the way she helps me see that women can be (and are) awesome at math and science. That confidence is something she has instilled in dozens of young women like me and it's been incredible to hear from some of them over the years about the ways she helped each of us find our path, our voice, and our success in math/science!

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!

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!
