In other words, she doesn't scare the kids away by being strict and rigid. Students start playing simple songs right away, which gives them a sense of enjoyment, satisfaction, and fulfillment. Arlene teaches the Suzuki method. At $35 for a 30-minute lesson, her prices are very reasonable. HIGHLY recommend!

I found The Study Pro and immediately they were encouraging, understanding, warm, supportive and knowledgeable. Shortly after attending my son said to me they are helping him back to being an A/B student. He loves going and now smiles, studys and is 2 points away from getting all A's again. Thanks you The Study Pro for believing in my son and helping him to not only believe in himself but also being excited that college is once again a possibility! I would absolutely 100% recommend The Study Pro for EF students and anyone else that is searching of ways to help themselves or kids from becoming unstuck academically.

From the owner: The StudyPro is an Executive Function and Study Skills Center. We are the only learning center…read morededicated to improving the study skills and habits of students. Our Essential Study Skills course teaches critical skills -- such as time management, organization, note-taking, and test prep -- that are required, but not fully taught in schools. Our Homework Center is a place where students come to plan and complete work, and is supported by subject-matter experts across all subject areas. Our 1:1 coaching helps to support students on a weekly basis with organizing work, breaking down ("chunking") longer-term assignments, assessing what may have gone wrong on tests, providing strategies for managing time and materials and creating a weekly work "plan". We work with students on organizing and studying for all tests and have special workshops to support mid-terms and finals. We also hold a highly-attended (free) "Lunch and Learn" series for parents where local experts speak on topics such as fostering motivation and helping students push through frustration. If your son or daughter is smart, yet still struggles with some aspects of study or Executive Function skills, we have built this center for you.

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.

After only a short period of tutoring (via Skype!!!) there was a marked turn around in our son's math performance. His final AND final grade jumped two marks. That's right... Two grades!!!! The coordinator was great completing an assessment of his levels of performance, reviewed plans from his teacher and identified someone suitable to his personality. I never expected such progress within that window of time. The price is more than reasonable based on what you receive... A continuous communication loop, top notch tutors, online reports, progress monitoring and current technology. Although we elected the Skype sessions based on our schedules, in-person is available. I forgot to mention group sessions online where you can get homework assistance on any subject matter. They also proof papers. One stop shopping in the comfort of your home. If you need a service and can carve out the resources for A+... Do it! Will we use them again? Yes, yes and yes! I always use yelp for things I'm searching for but have never written a review.

Keeping track of homework can be difficult especially with multiple higher level classes and extracurricular activities. The A+ Club's approach to studying habits and learning is very unique and goes past just basic organization and habit breaking.

One of the most important things about this service compared to others is the more personal approach, they are always more than happy to work with you and help you get to your goals. Thank you for everything!
