My daughter found Oxford after trying several other college counselors for essay help. Many lacked…read moreempathy, patience, knowledge about culture, or how to draw the reader in with more than facts in the short space of word count. JT was the gift she needed. 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. The initial pre-test he only scored a 21. We trusted Melissa and JT to help him bring up his score enrolling him in a 26-session package, twice a week. 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!

As a homeschooling mom, I am incredibly intentional about my daughter's education. I want her to…read moregenuinely enjoy learning, receive an elevated education, and be taught in a way that honors her individual learning style. Because of that, I am extremely selective about who I invite into her educational experience. A+ Tutoring has truly become part of my team, and I could not be more grateful. From the very beginning, they have gone above and beyond to provide exceptional support and customer service. What has impressed me most is how thoughtfully they match each child with a tutor. They genuinely take the time to understand your child's learning style, personality, needs, and goals rather than simply assigning a tutor. And if something ever needs to be adjusted, they address it immediately. In my experience, they don't just solve the issue, they somehow manage to outdo themselves in the process. Mandy and Janelle, their incredible tutor matchmakers, are exceptional. They are attentive, responsive, intuitive, and truly invested in finding the right fit for your child. I have felt incredibly supported throughout the process. And then there is our tutor, Sonya Karl, who is EXTRAORDINARY. Sonya is deeply child-centered, incredibly intelligent, emotionally intelligent, patient, warm, and genuinely gifted at connecting with children. She has such a beautiful heart, and it is evident in the way she teaches. The most meaningful measure for me is this: my daughter is not only excelling academically, she genuinely looks forward to her tutoring sessions with Sonya. That says everything. Finding the right people to support your child's education is such an important decision, especially when you are homeschooling and creating an educational experience around your child rather than asking your child to fit into a system. A+ Tutoring understands that. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found them, and even more fortunate that they connected us with Sonya. They have earned my trust, my gratitude, and my highest recommendation.

My daughter has been using A+ Tutoring for three months now. She absolutely loves her instructor…read moreand I have seen great improvement in her math skills. She has also gained more confidence, her instructor is very positive and encouraging. They are extremely flexible with hours/scheduling. I can always text them for a quick and easy communication rather than calling and playing phone tag. After every session I get an e-mail with notes from her instructor sharing what they covered in the lesson and how it went with a list of things she did well and things she can continue to practice. Also, the sessions are easy to use and set up, it's just a link to click in an e-mail instead of downloading or installing Zoom or any other platform on the device. If I want them to cover any specific homework assignment, workbook, skill or even state testing practice they incorporate that into the session for us. I would highly recommend them!

Our son liked math but never did exceedingly well in the subject at school. A friend of the family…read moretold us about Mathnasium so we tried the one here in Northridge California. We immediately liked the owner and instructors! Our son enjoyed going every week, we even walked 1.5 miles each way twice a week and he never complained. That's unheard of for a fifth grader, but he honestly liked the environment, the instructors and definitely the snacks! His school didn't give homework so he only worked on the curriculum that Mathnasium provided and we weren't really able to determine if Mathnasium was truly effective until he got his end of the year repot card. For the first time, he received "exceeeding" marks ONLY in math! And even more indicative of Mathnasium's effect is the glowing progress reflected between his midterm and end of the year marks. He did a little over seven months, twice a week consistently at Mathnasium and I'm honestly really pleased with the progress he made! The best part is that he sincerely enjoyed his time there this school year and wants to continue! Much gratitude and love for everyone at the Northridge Mathnasium!

Tammy was not only an unbelievable tutor but my greatest asset throughout high school. She is…read moreextremely patient, understanding, and always willing to take the extra minute or two to help you fully understand the material. Considering I was an athlete and did not go to traditional school, due to my soccer demands, I would say I needed a little help in every subject. To my astonishment, Tammy either knew about the subject or would learn about it during her off time and come back during our next session and help me with the material. Tammy completely changed my writing for the better, tutored me for my SAT, and helped me understand chemistry. During the two years that we worked together, I received a 4.3 cumulative GPA. With Tammy's help, along with soccer, I got into numerous top universities including Yale, Cornell, and Boston University-which I currently attend. I would say my overall experience with Tammy was nothing short of exceptional. If you are looking for a tutor that can help you learn (not just get a grade) while working around your schedule Tammy is who you want to call!
