“Cindy! Great news. I got an 87 on my math test! That was my best grade in math this year and it brought up my grade significantly. Plus, I will be able to make it an 89 with my test corrections!! Ahh… I’m so happy, Cindy, thank you!”
Jenny Drew G., Marymount High School Graduate
“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.”
Emilie and Charlie Corlin, Santa Monica High School Students
“Cindy is an absolutely spectacular woman who has been of tremendous assistance to myself and my children over the past three years. She is strong, energetic, highly intelligent, and successful! Cindy is such a shining example to all she works with. Not only is she an incredible tutor, mentor, advisor, and writer, but she is an overall exemplary young woman. Her results are beyond compare!”
Elizabeth Warber, Archer School For Girls and Buckley School Parent“Although I’ve been working with Catherine for only a short time, she has been an amazing and exciting addition to my school life. She has not only helped me improve my grades but she has also helped me as a person in general. Catherine makes all of our lessons entertaining by using examples that I can relate to. There is never a dull moment in our sessions.”
Danielle L., Marymount High School Graduate
“Cindy is a great tutor. She has helped me understand subjects such as math and science. She is skilled in all subjects and understands them enough to thoroughly explain them. When I need tutoring in a specific subject, she always listens to me. She also makes great mnemonic/ acronyms to help me remember vocabulary and understand the subject matter. She is very patient and a great listener. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of tutoring or just enhancement in a specific subject.”
Treati Yazdani, University of Oregon and Marymount High School Graduate
“I’ve worked with Cindy since my freshman year in Algebra I and plan to continue seeing her until I physically can’t any longer (Graduation). I can’t express how lucky I feel to have Cindy as my tutor. Not only has Cindy helped me master concepts that no teacher ever could but she also is a caring and lively human being. Beginning in Algebra I and moving onto Chemistry, Algebra II, Trigonometry, and essays, I can honestly say I’ve learned as much from Cindy as my teachers in school. Her patient personality and funny analogies allow me to understand material more easily and for the material to actually stick in my mind. Meeting with Cindy allows me to go into tests with confidence, turn in papers that I’m actually excited to get back, and master the previously impossible math problems. However, Cindy is much more than just a tutor; she always offers her amazing organic farmers market food such as apples and vegetables, which help me to stay satisfied, comfortable, and concentrated. Furthermore, Cindy has a very kind heart and even gave me balloons and a birthday present on my birthday. I can’t thank Cindy enough for the knowledge she has passed onto me, I cannot recommend her enough. I will miss her when I go away to college.”
Elle Cameron, Boston College and Marymount High School Graduate
“While searching for an SAT tutor, I met with many tutoring companies while seeking the right place for me. When I discovered Rainbow, I fell in love! After my first few sessions with Cindy, I was actually excited about the SAT. Something unique about Rainbow is that they identify hundreds of different math problems on the test, and split them up into groups, called “ID tags.” This means they have grouped the similar types of problems together, creating a specific name for each group. In every session, the students are introduced to new ID tags. They learn how to tackle, and identify these problems, and practice them repetitively until the skill is mastered. Rainbow has made the SAT feel easy for me because they have given me confidence. I highly recommend them!”
Kayla Javaheri, Hofstra and Wildwood School Graduate
“My daughter, Aja Bivens, worked with Cindy from her freshmen year through her senior year of high school. With Cindy’s extra guidance and recommendations through the rigors of her academic coursework, Aja was able to do very well throughout her high school years. Each year showed an improvement with her study skills as well as her grades. Cindy was able to teach Aja so that she fully understood her subjects and was confident in taking her tests. Aja also took Cindy’s prep courses for her SAT testing and she began these courses during the second half of her sophomore year and continued until the end of her junior year. Because she started well in advance, she was very prepared for the official SAT testing and was able to improve her scores by over 600 points from where she started. Cindy also worked with Aja to create vivid and poignant personal statements and unique essay supplements that very much set her apart in the college application process. Her applications, along with her excellent SAT scores and a strong GPA, allowed Aja to gain admittance to her dream school, New York University.”
Madeline Loef, Marymount and NYU Parent
“For the couple of months I have been tutoring with Cindy, not only have my grades gone up in biology and math, but the confidence I have in myself has increased. A few months ago I would never have thought that I could achieve any of the things that I have so far. Cindy has helped me gain confidence in math, which has always been a subject that I never felt I could excel in. My test average has raised a whole letter grade and the lessons I am learning in class have become easier for me to comprehend. Cindy is such a down-to-earth person who cares so much about the success of her students. Going to Cindy has been a great experience for me. I am extremely grateful for all the time and effort Cindy has made on my behalf so I can do better in school.”
Alexis Huron, Marymount High School Graduate
“Nick absolutely adores Louisa! He said, ‘What took so long to find her?’ Cindy and the Rainbow team are terrific! Cindy–I feel very blessed to have met you and to have you in our lives.”
