Her tutor was patient, organized, and did a great job explaining things in a way that made sense. They took the time to figure out what she was already doing well and where she needed more practice, then came up with a plan that really worked for her. Scheduling was easy, communication was always clear, and the whole process was stress-free. Best of all, she ended up with a great SAT score! I would definitely recommend Magellan Tutoring to anyone looking for SAT prep.

What? I get to be the first to review? Excellent!…read more Let me tell you how excited my son was to be signed up for tutoring. Answer: Not at all. And honestly, I thought it would be an argument every week going there, but no, he liked it right off the bat, to my surprise and his. The actual physical space is clean, bright and comfortable. The staff is patient - very, very patient and knowledgeable as well. They have the kids working pretty hard but they give them reasonable breaks so they can concentrate for the time they are working. The have 1 tutor working with 3 to 4 kids at a similar level so they get enough time and attention but it's not a one on one focus, which can feel like "pressure" in some ways. Some days, depending on what time we were there, it was 1 tutor with 2 children. Most often, it was 1 to 3. Tutoring is expensive so we all want measurable results and so for us, having the extensive assessment testing before and all along the way as we went along, was really helpful. Monthly progress meetings with the parents showing measurable results lets you know where your child is improving and how fast (or slow in some areas). It's just reassuring the have that measurement. They are also very, very willing to coordinate and communicate with your child's teacher or school, but I found the schools very resistant to that and I was a bit mystified. Seems like its a partnership made in heaven, but our school system was not very cooperative on that front. We had a positive experience and saw some significant improvements during the school year.

With the help of the Tutoring club he was able to work on his math skills last summer. He was not eligible to start in Honors 7 because his SOL scores were 2 points away from where he needed to be. He completed 1 semester in regular math where he was getting straight A's and was bored so his teacher promoted him to Honors 7. He ended the year with a B+. He was able to bring homework to the club when he needed an extra explanation of the materials which helped him tremendously. My other son was enrolled for Reading comprehension due to the drop in his SOL scores from 4th to 5th grade by 100 points. His 5th grade teacher was not the best and he didn't learned much in 5th grade from her. He started 6th grade with a 2 in Reading Comprehension in the first quarter, raised it to a 3 in the 2nd quarter and for the 3&4th quarters got a 4. The tutoring club has taught him many strategies in how to read with comprehension and answer questions by the process of elimination. This summer my children are working on their writing skills which is another area that most kids need additional instruction on since teachers can't individually help all students. We have been more than happy with the Tutoring Club and the help our children have received from all the wonderful tutors they have on staff.

Disclaimer: This is the first negative review I have ever written. I have never left a negative…read morereview online, only positive when I'm happy with a business but due to how horrible my experience was with this business, I had to inform others. Prep with Jen is not really prep with "Jen". I went by the Google reviews not realizing that the most recent review was over a year ago... If you are interested in private lessons, be prepared to pay $110+ for an hour and you aren't even getting sessions with Jen. She subcontracts her sessions out to other tutors and has very little oversight over the sessions other than her being cc'd on the summary emails. They don't record sessions (even my son's wyznat tutors record sessions!), and her tutors are not as qualified or engaging as she is. She picks up the phone and talks a lot with you before you sign up, builds a personal plan and approach but once you drop thousands of dollars on her packages, she disappears and only reappears when the tutor summons her over an extremely trivial issue (rescheduling class time requests in our case). She isn't interested in customer service and is only concerned with maximizing her tutors schedule with clients. I would not recommend at all - not only was the tutor not worth the rate, her customer service was horrible after we signed the contract UPDATE: In response to Jen's response, her claims are bogus. Her tutor wasn't happy that we asked to reschedule 3 times out of 8 sessions because of 1 time having the flu , one time a serious car accident and 1 time an unforeseeable conflict! Rather than picking up the phone and discussing with the family, Jen claimed my son was unengaged which was absolute lies! How non empathetic is that?! My son is an honors student with 4.3 GPA so forgive me if I think you're claims are bogus... She has zero evidence to back up her below claims, as my sons score already improved but majorly due to his own studying and not because of her tutors sessions which pretty much was a project management approach of watching my son complete assignments rather than truly explaining concepts. Although we accommodated changes in timing by her tutor for 5 sessions, her tutor for some reason didn't appreciate 3 reschedules and then made these bogus claims of unegagement to Jen that she decided to not even validate with the family. If you want personalized instruction with a tutoring organization that is invested in your personal success, this isn't the place for you.

This score was a massive 300-point improvement from my PSAT that I took the year before. Initially, Jen's class helped me to familiarize myself and solve the different types of reading, grammar, and math questions, giving me the initial bump to the 1450 range on a practice test. Then, she taught me to be more vigilant regarding the more deceptive questions, ultimately allowing me to get consistent scores in the mid to high 1500s on the College Board practice SATs. Throughout the process, Jen was very accommodating and answered all of my and my parent's questions about the DSAT. I highly recommend this class to students at all levels looking to improve their scores and can't thank Jen enough for my improvement.

We have used this service for the last two and half years and cannot tell you how much we have benefited from the support of the coaches that have worked with our son. His confidence has improved with his writing, learning how to organize his thoughts better when tackling history and English Language Arts assignments. He's doing more than just the bare minimum, including more descriptive language and details. He's proactively creating outlines while reading to set himself up for success when trying to remember details later for questions or discussions. He's gotten better at self-advocacy, reaching out to teachers via email, when he's unsure of how to tackle an assignment or something isn't working correctly vs. just ignoring the issue. All things he wouldn't dream of doing on his own two years ago. Added bonus is that it has taken some of the pressure off of us, his parents, and the stress it was causing us when "nagging" him about his homework and missing assignments. Just wish we would have started sooner!!
