Luke Davenport, Crossroads School Alum and Colgate University Student

"Working with Nick, Oran and Alex has made a huge difference in my academic learning. Their depth of knowledge and ability to help me through all the topics covered in Calculus 2, College Linear Algebra, and Microeconomics has allowed for a deeper understanding — especially during the pandemic! Each of the tutors have plenty of knowledge that no matter what the question or topic was they were ready to help me learn it. They were also each able to tailor their teaching styles to what would help me learn and understand the material best. They were all very friendly and I never felt like I was being lectured but rather working through the problems in my head with them filling in the blanks.”

Emilie and Charlie Corlin, Santa Monica High School Students

“Kate and Nick were excellent tutors. Nick helped me (Emilie) get through the toughest year of math. He was really hardworking and never late to sessions. He made sure I fully understood the topic and even gave me short quizzes to ensure I understood the material. Kate is also a wonderful tutor. You can tell she loves teaching kids and is really good at what she does. She helped both me and Charlie get A’s in a language we have never learned before. Overall both Kate and Nick are extraordinary tutors and have helped us above and beyond in our academic journey.”

Iris Klein, Wildwood and Wheaton Parent

“Cindy has mentored my daughter over the past year, helping her with her college applications and essays. In particular, her vocabulary has improved ten-fold. She was accepted to Wheaton and Connecticut College, largely because of her work with Cindy. The SAT prep she did with Cindy was creative, hands-on, and personal which inspired my daughter to really reach for the stars.”

April K. USC and Marymount High School Graduate

“I signed up for the Ivy League Creative Writing Intensive, hoping that I’d learn something that would aid me in writing my college application essays. After just two weeks, I’d written two amazing pieces about my life and experiences. When reading over what I’d written, I couldn’t believe that the words were mine. This course gave me the tools I needed to recognize my own abilities.”

“Cindy has a kind, thoughtful and customized approach with each student, which makes her so much more than a mere “tutor.” Instead, she is an amazing “Life-Coach” to our children as well as to every student she spends time with.”

Gina Carty-Tashkoff, Marymount/Westmark Parent

“I am writing this letter regarding Cindy’s work with my daughter over the past few years. It was four years ago when my daughter came home complaining about how she did not like the school she was going to, even though it was a private school. She was having a very rough time and desperately wanted to get out of there. That is when Cindy came into our lives. She first started getting to know Taylor, not only as a student, but also as an individual. She helped Taylor get into her new school and has been there for her since day one. She showed her the right ways of making good friends and adapting to a new environment. We all, as parents, know how tough it gets for our children to move to a new school, make new friends, feel welcomed and feel like they are in the right state of mind to start the new school year. With Cindy’s help, I hardly worried about those aspects of my daughter’s life because I knew she was getting great help with an amazing person. Apart from helping Taylor transfer from one school to another, Cindy has been helping my daughter get through her studies and pass with flying colors. She has done an incredible job and I cannot express in words how thankful I am and how grateful I am for the work Cindy has done.”
