I had been studying for the GMAT for a few months before I came to Simply Brilliant. While I tested…read morewell at home in practice exams I choked in the testing center. It was obvious that I lacked both an effective strategy and correct mindset to tackle this very important component to my MBA application. Stuart was incredible. He's able to teach the GMAT in an easy digestible format. He tailored our sessions to tackle my weaknesses, showing me techniques that helped me save time and increase accuracy. Most of all Stuart was extremely encouraging and positive throughout our time together. It's obvious he cares about his students. For me that made all the difference. I was accepted to some exceptional programs and have enrolled at UNC Chapel Hill Kenan-Flagler Business School with a full tuition scholarship. I'm thrilled at my results and it's largely thanks to Stuart. I would recommend Simply Brilliant to anyone who is looking for GMAT success!

I recently took a biology course at NCCU and found myself falling a bit behind. To my rescue came a…read morefriend of mine who had discovered a newly formed tutoring service. I was a bit skeptical at first since there wasn't much information out there about the company, however I am so glad I gave it a shot. I was paired with Danielle from Science Tutoring Services who came highly recommended. She was very thorough and patient. She made me feel very comfortable. I can't say enough about her quality of work. Needless to say my average increased tremendously. I finished the class with a B+ average up from a C-. I would urge anyone taking biology or anatomy & physiology to give Science Tutoring Services a try! Their prices are reasonable and they are extremely professional.

My daughter attended language immersion schools for 4 years (school taught 80-100% in a foreign…read morelanguage by native speakers) when we decided to homeschool. Our biggest concern with this choice was losing the years of language we had invested in our daughter and her losing a something she absolutely loved learning. We discovered chicle when exploring Carrboro and decided to write them about a possible group class for homeschoolers. I worked with Sara Biondi, their office manager, and she was able to organize a homeschool group class. However, the first day of class we were the only family in attendance as all the other families had decided to cancel at last minute. Sara and the Chicle team worked with us and our budget to find a tutor solution for our daughter. We now have daytime classes at Chicle twice a week with two different teachers, Alma Manso and Perla S. which provide a fun and diverse learning experience. We feel our daughter has grown her Spanish skills more this year tutoring with Chicle than spending her entire days at an immersion school. We have been very impressed with her progress!! We have been attending Chicle classes for almost a year now and it has been an all around fantastic experience. From the organized office manager to the awesome teachers to the convenient location. We feel blessed to have found this little jewel in Carrboro!!! Keep up the amazing work you are doing CHICLE!!!! :)

I signed up at Chicle after wanting to freshen up my Spanish after almost 10 years wanting to try…read moreout a private lesson and it really is the best thing I've done to help dust off the language and get into practice again. I really like how they tailor a class or lesson to your needs. If you know of several people who want to do a class they can set that up or put you in one that is already set up. They also do private tutoring which is what I am doing now after my teenage daughter and I did a group class together over the Summer. It's a little more expensive but for me having the personalized attention and ongoing interaction has been very helpful and worth the extra cost. I took Spanish in grad school and didn't learn as much as I am learning now. I really love my instructor, Pilar. She is good at drawing you out and giving you feedback real time to help you speak more fluently. She is also very personable and warm and entertaining. I had Perla once and she was very nice and got both my daughter and I to practice and we enjoyed her instruction style as well. They offer children's programs (though might be in the summer), study abroad experiences and translation services as well.
