"Thank you, [Member Name Removed], for your wonderful review. Your son has broken through his shell during our few months of tutoring. It's inspiring and gratifying to see him progress so rapidly -- from fail ing practice tests, when we first tutored him, to now, acing all his practice tests, or getting very few wrong. He now has an interest in and ability to absorb and understand complex information in 9 knowledge categories. His newly developed academic prowess and successful test-taking strategies are boosting his motivation, confidence, and communication abilities. He is an intelligent and very good person. He is a joy to work with. Thank you for trusting us to prepare him for this important test."

"[Member Name Removed], My tutors and I appreciate your wonderful review. We worked very hard to nurture the student in your daughter and realize her academic potential. We're delighted to have made a difference in her life, and to know that she's successful on her own now. She worked hard. It was a privilege to work with both of you over these years. If we can help again, let us know."

"Thank you for your good review. It is a pleasure to work with your daughter--she is bright, curious, loves to learn, and works hard. For these reasons she has increased her science and reading grades and scored significantly higher on her STAAR tests with tutoring support. I look forward to continuing our work. I'm distressed that you think we charge too much. My tutors and I feel good about charging less than going rates and giving more. Unlike other tutoring companies, I do not require you to commit to a number of sessions, pay for the sessions up front, and not get a refund if you want to stop. These tutoring companies provide sessions at a company location and we come to your home at your convenience. My policy is to pay as you go, at the end of each session. You are always free to stop tutoring or continue, as you wish. Your daughter has achieved success with only one 2-hr session a week...in your home. Our reviews on Angie's List show how effective our tutoring is with all types of students. Academic success has proved a guarantee with us, a promise many tutors and tutoring companies cannot make. I hope, as your daughter succeeds next year in advanced 6th grade math and all her 6th grade subjects with tutoring support, you will feel better about paying $35 an hour."

"Thank you, [Member Name Removed], for your generous beautifully-written review. You, too, are a joy to work with, You understand your son and his tutoring needs and are a great support to his learning at school and in tutoring. I have never worked with a more helpful, proactive parent. Your son and his progress are at the top of my tutoring experience. I look forward to continuing our work."

"Thank you for those lovely three words! Working with your 7th grade daughter on all her subjects -- math, English, writing, science and social studies has been delightful and satisfying. At the beginning of her 7th grade she was insecure about her abilities and challenged by dyslexia and dysgraphia, but helped by her considerable intelligence. She worked very hard all year and overcame her challenges. We were all exhilarated to see her inducted into the Junior Honor Society last month. I am honored to continue working with her next year."

"Thank you so much for your kind words and acknowledgement of your daughter's success! We've been working together for nearly a year now in one 2-hr. session a week trying help your 2nd-grade daughter master the academic skills and develop the confidence to perform at grade level in class. She improved last year and is gaining more momentum and success this year. She is bright and talented but also strong- willed and resistant to working in school, making her improvement quite a challenge. You and your wife have contributed greatly to her success and mine by your belief in and patience with the tutoring process, and your intelligent thoughts about which strategies to use to reach your daughter. She is a wonderful girl and I enjoy working with her and you very much."

"I am sorry you found our service less than excellent in every category. You are the first one to give us a rating that is less than an A in our 8 years of service. We tried our [Member Information Removed] to help your daughter, a high school junior, who needed a tutor at the last minute to help her study for her Chemistry I final. I sent my [Member Information Removed] chemistry tutor to your house at the time and date you requested. She is studying to be a doctor, loves chemistry and loves tutoring. I'm sorry you were not 100% pleased. Good luck to your daughter."

"[Member name removed], thank you for your outstanding and timely review -- in the midst of your moving and summer chaos, too! It is a challenge and privilege to work with your son -- he is so intelligent, charming, and sensitive. I am grateful that he responds to tutoring eagerly and allows me to help him use his considerable abilities. I look forward to working with him, and you, in the future. Thank you again for taking the time to write your excellent review, and trusting me with your excellent son."

"Oh, [member name removed], what a fantastic review! Thank you SO much!. I want to say that our fee of $70 is for a 2-hour session; we charge $35 an hour. Your beautiful, bright daughter is a favorite with my tutors, and with me last summer, when I tutored her weekly in poetry and song lyrics, for enrichment. Your review makes me very happy. Thank you again for taking the time from your schedule as an attentive mother and a very busy physician to write it. I hope we can continue our dynamic partnership in the future."

"[member name removed], What a wonderful review! Thank you so much for taking the time. Your daughter is bright and works hard, and you give her the tutoring time she needs to improve. It is always fun and satisfying to tutor your daughter and see you when we have tutoring. Thank you again for your review."

"[member name removed], Thank you for your wonderful review. Your daughter is a delight to tutor because she is so eager to learn and so bright. I treasure the fact that when we started working together she couldn't read or do more than the most basic adding and subtracting, and had to have her teacher read math word problems and directions on tests to her, and after just 2 tutoring sessions, she began to read and learn multiplication facts. Today, after only 4 months of one 2-hr. tutoring session a week, she is passing all her subjects, and took her reading and math STAAR exams without help and did well. I look forward to tutoring her this summer so she starts AHEAD in her 4th grade class in the fall."

"{removed member name}, thank you so much for giving us a review so quickly! What a nice surprise. {removed member name} is a delight to tutor - he catches on quickly and knows more about the subjects he loves than the average 10 year-old. He's serious about learning and loves it. I can't wait to start geography with him next week. Thank you for letting me have him for so many subjects. I've talked with him about having one of my science tutors meet with him for special science tutorials to give him a scientists' view of certain subjects, since he especially loves science. Susan"

"Thank you for your excellent review! I'm delighted your son has responded so quickly and completely to our few sessions. He's a very bright eager boy who loves to learn and tries hard. He just needed special attention to address his individual problems to make him strong enough to compete at school. I look forward to working with in the future. Thank you for taking the time to write such a beautiful and thorough review."

"[member name removed], THANK YOU so much for your kind words and for taking the time to get a review up on Angie's List! Your daughter is a joy to work with and, from her success in 5th grade math this school year on only one 1.5 hr session a week, you can tell that she is working hard and concentrating during our tutoring sessions. She just needs one-on-one tutoring so we can pinpoint and explain what she doesn't understand, then it all fits into place for her. All my tutors, including those who tutor advanced high school and college math and science, love tutoring because, when tutoring is good, the results are quick and dramatically positive. They agree that we want to keep the hourly fee low, at $35 an hour, so it is affordable over a long period of time. I always look forward to sessions with your daughter, and am delighted to continue into next semester and help her prepare for the STAAR exams in the spring.."

"Thank you, (member name removed), for your wonderful review! The results of tutoring HAVE seemed miraculous with your children,but they are perfect candidates for tutoring -- they respond to one-on-one instruction and have been lost in classroom teaching. I do hire only dedicated and inspired tutors, and it works, though I am still surprised that our results are so fast and magical. We love tutoring and we're hooked on getting that rush of success that always comes. We look forward to tutoring your wonderful children in whatever subjects they need in the future in addition to basic English, writing and math, and college-level Accounting, Statistics, and Calculus."

"Thank you for your wonderful review! It's a joy to tutor your son and be with your family every week. As you know your son is very bright, gifted and interested in everything. His sense of humor, enthusiasm and quick grasp of most material makes him easy and fun to tutor. He can go as far as he wants in any subject with my excellent math and science tutor and me. In addition to his considerable abilities, he works hard when he has to until he masters a task. He has shown that tenacity, and how it pays off, in writing essays. He will rewrite and rewrite an essay week after week honing his ideas and understanding the form better every time. He's an exciting student to tutor. You're a wonderful parent for a tutor, too. You're infinitely supportive and give us free reign to develop your son's interests and work habits and give his mind structure and discipline."

"Member, Thank you for your encouraging review. Your daughter has responded positively to my management strategies (approved and supported by you and your husband) quickly. She has calmed down sufficiently to focus and use her considerable intelligence to quickly learn the lessons in her homework and on the materials I provide. It's gratifying, too, to see her self-confidence pop up. She seems a much happier calmer little girl lately. I think my suggestion to cut her 2-hour sessions to 1.5 hrs. is working better for her and I thank you for agreeing to do it. I look forward to being part of our daughter's continued progress toward realizing her great potential."

"Member, Thank you for your wonderful review! Your son is bright and works hard, so tutoring him is very gratifying. He surprises me often by not knowing a lesson, especially in math, and after our session, getting a good grade when he's tested on the subject at school. He learns very quickly. You are giving him the advantage of a 2-hour-session which allows him time to achieve deep concentration, have all his questions answered, and work through problems until he's sure of the material. The 2 hours are sufficient so far, even though it's only once a week. I hope one 2-hour-session ($70) a week isn't too much to pay for the dramatic improvement in your son's performance in school and his self-confidence. Our rate of $35 an hour is far less than the fee most, if not all, other tutoring companies in San Antonio charge. I look forward to the privilege of continuing to work with your great son."

"Thank you for your lovely review. It's a pleasure working with you and your wonderful son. His significant improvement after only two 1 1/2 hr. sessions that first week was gratifying, though our students are successful through tutoring. All your son needed was some tender one-on-one instruction to fill in his learning gaps so he can understand material presented in his classroom and feel confident and good about himself. I look forward to continued success."

"Thank you for your member review. I appreciate it. Your son, Chris, is working hard in our Verbal part of the SAT Prep and progressing well. He's learning some basic writing and English grammar and vocabulary that he's missed. When he gets to our math section, I believe he will fill in some of his math gaps, too. It's a pleasure working with both of you. Susan"

"Dear Sir -Thank you so much for your positive review. Your son is a great boy and I'm so glad tutoring him this spring semester enabled him to go into the 6th grade next fall and not repeat 5th grade. Our tutoring schedule for him this summer in math, reading and writing will help him be the strong student he has the ability to be next school year."

"Thank you for your excellent review. It is a joy to work with your son and to have seen his emotional control, confidence, and academic skill levels increase dramatically over the last two years. He is gifted in many ways, as you know. Thank you, too, for giving us your daughter to tutor this summer as well as your son. I'm so pleased that they're excited about it. Your son knows that summer tutoring IS fun, and has helped him go into the next grade with new confidence and his skill levels solidly at grade level."
