My son went to Gina when he was a junior and my only regret was not going to her sooner. She…read morehelped my son pick out classes that met his interests and would be helpful on college applications. She also helped him pick out summer school classes that helped boost his g.p.a.. When it comes to application and essay time Gina and her team are a well-oiled machine. I received regular calls and emails to make sure we were on track and it was a huge relief to have someone else looking out for the deadlines and due dates. One of the most important things about Gina is she really cares about the kids. She listened to him and what he wanted then worked to make our goals mesh. Even though college applications are over, Gina still reaches out to see how my son is doing and what he's decided to do about college. She is the best!!

I was recommended to to have a consultation with Growing Minds when my son was in the 11th grade…read more We were starting to apply to colleges and I felt helpless and my anxiety was growing with the counselor he had. I felt we needed to see someone who really understood my son and would give us the best direction, advice and guidance while beginning this stressful college application journey. After my consultation with Milly Roseman, my family felt motivated and optimistic for the first time. Milly was able to understand my son in one session and gave him the confidence he desperately needed. During his junior and senior years, we were exposed to the amazing resources at Growing Minds. Milly paired my son with a tutor to help prep him for AP's and his SAT. Emily would reach out regularly to ensure we met deadlines and Betsey would call me when we needed to see Milly or just to see how we were doing. Growing Minds was there in every aspect of this crazy college journey and there is no way my family could have survived it with out them. My son was accepted to over 11 schools, including his dream school and I have no doubt in the role Milly and Growing Minds had in this HUGE accomplishment. I have already hired them for my incoming 9th grader to ensure she has the best support, is one step ahead of her peers, and she has the best guidance moving through high school. Thank you to the amazing team at Growing Minds. We are forever thankful.

I hired Derrick to help prepare my child for the ISEE test. He slowly and methodically went through…read morethe book with my daughter. They went over problems. His teaching style is to help her figure it out and follow her logic (which was sometimes a crazy route to the answer). He would say "you could also look at this..." to alert her of alternative ways to find an answer. He does assign homework and things to memorize. He's not demanding, it's your choice to listen and follow. My child's success was at stake so we did as we were told. She was very comfortable and saw each lesson as a path to new math discoveries. Derrick made it interesting and she always left empowered. Her parting comment "wow, time really goes by quickly"... who says that after an hour of math?! Sign of a good teacher.

Derrick is incredibly patient, and provides tons of positive reinforcement and encouraging words. He is also quite flexible allowing for last minute cancellations or additional sessions when needed. My daughter's grades did improve while under Derrick's tutelage. We will continue to use Tutor-Tutor's services throughout my daughter's high school education. So glad we found him!

My daughter went to this company for some private SAT prep primarily focusing on the math portion…read more The price is the same as most all other companies for private sessions. However, my daughter showed up to their facility for tutoring and the tutor was not there, he tried to tutor her over FaceTime! No white board, or any visual adjuncts. He simply tried to talk her through the concepts. Unfortunately, her personality is not the type to say anything except at home, she was actually more confused and the tutor seemed to get frustrated with her. When I called the company up to get an explanation they were a little defensive saying my daughter is getting it, when she is standing next to me shaking her head no! This method of tutoring was not mentioned to us when we had the initial consultation with them and paid for the 14 private sessions and 2 SAT practice tests. The focus of the tutoring was math because that was here weakness with very little to no tutoring on reading comprehension. Funny, she improved 80 points on reading comprehension (no real tutoring) and only 10 points on math. Buyer beware! It appears this company is more focused on the the business aspect rather than the needs of the student! I would not and connot recommend this company.

My daughter found Oxford after trying several other college counselors for essay help.

He made himself available, is patient, accommodating and has the worldly life & writing skills to hit all the angles. My daughter did the base work and research on her own for the foundation for her essays, but JT knew how to hone them to make sense, and get everything in the word count without compromising the emotion my girl was seeking. She was distraught and overwhelmed until she found him through word of mouth at school. JT was the first college counselor that could work one on one with her and I didn't have to be part of the process because after reading what they produced, we trusted him. She ultimately earned full tuition in 5 merit scholarships to our local US News ranked top 25 college because she had put in the hard work academically, and holistically through the years, but JT understood her goals to write a story weaving in everything she had done (which was a lot) within the word count without compromising the quality of essays. My recommendation is for your teen do the research on the strongest activities they want to present in a bullet point list, pre-write out factual essays trying to squeeze in a coherent story and then go to JT to help him understand the direction. This saved her time and us money, plus helped her feel confident when they would hang up on what she was to go fix before the next call. She did all by Zoom, and maximized her time this way. From there, they crafted compelling essays that I'm still proud to re-read. Thank you Oxford for finding JT. We could not have gotten through this without him. Will definitely be using him for child number 2 when the time comes soon.

Melissa was great from the beginning with answering questions about the program, setting up schedules and being flexible when we needed to change days/times due to my son's sports commitment.

I am thrilled to share that he scored a 32 on the official ACT test. This was a huge jump from what he started. My son says he really enjoyed working with Melissa, that she made learning enjoyable and understandable. I highly recommend using Melissa to support for ACT preparation. Thank you Melissa!
