If they offer adult version, I am interested in taking it too. :-) I have been very happy working with the teachers and the director here at Spidersmart too! They are super nice, and fabulous to work with! My son is Kevin, who has been very happy here. So am I. Enjoy it a lot! Even though I want to post multiple reviews about the different experience of my son here, Yelp only allow one review per customer per business, and the new one will replace the old one. Sorry for the long review.

My son attended this center last year for over a year. Before enrolling here, his SAT score on…read morefirst attempt was 1280. Our goal was to improve it to over 1500. Well, after paying approx. $4500.00 his score went even further down. To our utter surprise, he cony improved to a 1350 !!! It is Horrible Horrible Place, just like Sylvan Center (have had experience with that too and thought this may be a better center). The teachers are young college students and they even discourage students on many levels. They will just give students a few questions as home work and that was it. Towards the end of your sessions, they start pressurizing you to buy more sessions and spend several thousands more! My son was extremely heartbroken! Please don't let them steal your hard earned money by blackmailing you. Thinking of filing a lawsuit against them soon! Please contact me if any one of you also have had felt the same.Thanks

Virginia is awesome for nursing students. At first I was kind of skeptical about paying for a…read moretutor when there are so many resources at the school that I can use and obviously paid for with my tuition. But then I thought it's an investment and how is paying for a tutor any different from paying for those ridiculously over priced books that I'm honestly never going to open again after nursing school. One thing about Virginia is that she offers lifelong techniques that can always be used. Not only does she tutor but she also offers "easy" non time consuming studying techniques and real tips on how to take and pass a test. She even gave us a practice test to show us how we may have been previously making mistakes which my have caused us an extra point. Her tutoring style is well structured and easily flows vs those (IMO) choppy all over the place lectures. I feel like I learned more in her 4 hour session than I did in the first 4 weeks of class. One of the things she said when we started the session was, if you follow her study techniques you can get a high B or A. At this point I'm thinking, yeah right, really, how? But make no mistake, with that statement that means that she's going to lay the foundation but YOU, yes, YOU, have to actually put in the work. She is awesome but please don't think that you'll just go to her session and that's where things will end and you'll pass. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Nursing school is hard so you still have to do your part. I have heard so many horror stories about med-surg and was so anxious at the start of this semester but after meeting with Virginia I feel so much more at ease. Needles to say on my first med-surg exam I got a 85.53%. Also note that this is my highest nursing school exam grade so far and my first time going to a tutor. Next up, the dosage exam. See you in 2 weeks Virginia:)

Virginia is the real deal! Trust me when I say this is the best decision I made in preparing for…read morethe NCLEX. I wasted a LOT of money on extra resources that didn't help me understand HOW to answer the questions. She showed me how to read the question, understand what the question was asking, and how to answer it correctly. I went into my NCLEX with confidence and walked out a RN!! My only regret is that I didn't find her sooner! If you're on the fence about hiring a tutor, please think of it as an investment in YOU, and you're worth that, right?

I took piano lessons from Deborah for a little over 5 years and now my child has been taking…read morelessons for about a year an a half. Deborah is extremely professional and talented. I feel she's a bit of a diamond in the rough compared to other piano teachers of her skill level. Her prices are very reasonable considering her level experience. Deborah is extremely dedicated to helping each student reach their maximum potential. I highly recommend lessons from Deborah if you or your child are ready to take piano seriously and are willing to put in the time and effort to succeed.
