We love the Sentence Center! My daughter started there in 3rd grade, and her writing skills have…read moreimproved tremendously since then. At the time, she often struggled with what to write and how to complete her assignments. After enrolling in their writing classes, she improved not only in her writing but also in her critical thinking skills.

I cannot recommend Karen-Meredith enough as a reading/writing tutor. She has been tutoring our…read moreelementary-school aged son consistently for 4 years and his been the reason he has been successful in language arts, even with dyslexia and ADD. She created a strong foundation of reading and writing habits early on with him and has continued to deliver progress.

We feel so fortunate to have her supporting us!

Karen-Meredith helped my daughter prepare for the high school placement test (HSPT) last Fall. My…read moredaughter had never taken any standardized test and was a little apprehensive about the whole process. Karen-Meredith made my daughter comfortable, built up her confidence, and offered her invaluable tips and tricks. I wish I had that kind of help! Based on her test results and academic record, my daughter was accepted at one of the top schools in the City and placed in their Honors English program. More importantly, my daughter is more confident and will be ready for the college standardized tests in a few years. We'll be reaching out to Karen-Meredith for that when the time comes! Highly recommend.

My daughter has a lot of learning disabilities: dyslexia, processing issues, working memory, etc…read more We met Jessica when my daughter was in elementary school having a very hard time keeping up. Jessica began working with her in third grade helping her to learn and giving her the confidence and ability to succeed. Jessica worked through all the school year and summers for two years. The confidence Jessica instilled in her was remarkable. She was patient, kind, and understood my daughter better than any teacher had. We moved my daughter to a school specifically for students with learning disabilities, and when she needed to study for ACT,​ we came back to Jessica. Now my daughter has been accepted into selective colleges, all that she has applied to! Jessica and my daughter remain close and have agreed to continue​ to keep in touch when she is in college.

This man got my daughter through college chemistry.

He's communicative with the parent and student. He's responsive and amazing. He will get your student through it! I'm so pleased because we were very worried about college level chemistry. She cried after her first summer school midterm. By the final exam, her attitude was- I got this! Understanding the material, check. Good study habits, check. Confidence- priceless. Thank you Michael. Glad and so grateful we found you!

She taught my child to read. What price can I put in that?…read more Jaleh is extremely flexible, with so many years experience she could pull from many pedagogical practices, and figure out how to motivate my child. Now she's working on her math, and it's going well.

Jaleh is an amazing certified Educational Therapist. She worked with my son, who has dyslexia and…read moreADHD when he was in 4th and 5th grade. My son made great progress in reading, comprehension, and writing. I agree 100% with the other parent's comments about Jaleh. What made Jaleh stand out is that not only is she teaching the academic parts but also teaching the kids to advocate for themselves and to develop their own distinct strategy of how to overcome obstacles caused by their learning difference. She is the most caring and dedicated tutor that my son had - she would read the assigned books as part of the preparation for the tutoring sessions. My family was so lucky to have found Jaleh!

Math-for-Girls is a life-changer…read more After receiving a discalculia diagnosis in 8th grade for my daughter, I found Vali and math for girls. What a game changer! After trying different interventions and math tutors over the years, I really didn't have much hope for my daughter ever making progress in math after receiving an official diagnosis for a specific math disability. Vali was very clear that she wasn't specially trained to work with discalculic kids, but we decided to give her a try anyways. My daughter was skeptical about another tutor and not excited about extra math after school. I'm so glad we gave Vali a try. My daughter learned more in 9 months with Vali than she had in 9 years of regular math class. Even more importantly, she is feeling so much more confident about doing math and feels like she has an array of strategies to approach a challenging problem. The engagement and confidence she is now feeling in regard to math is remarkable. We have now transitioned to Tia, one of the terrific Math-for-Girls tutors, to continue remediating middle school math while also supporting the transition into High School math. My daughter enjoys her time with Vali and Tia so much - actually looking forward to math, working independently on problems/skills between sessions, and is proud of her progress. Vali and Tia are both so positive in their teaching approach and really paying attention to where a concept is shaky or understanding may be incomplete. They are terrific at communicating what has been covered and setting expectations. My only wish is that we had found Math-for-Girls earlier. If you have a math avoidant student - call Vali!

Vali is an extraordinary asset to the students and families she works with…read more She makes math both fun and attainable; the ultimate goal of most of us in the math education field! I've been so fortunate to work with a number of Vali's students in my own business as they have needed test prep or moved on to their high school math phase. Each student Vali previously worked with has been engaged, curious, and motivated about their math education, a testament to Vali's wonderful mission to educate and inspire girls and her remarkable success in achieving this!
