“Higher grades and test scores”

Skye D.
1/31/20

Alexandra was a huge help. She was able to bring my daughter's grades way up in a short amount of time. She has extensive knowledge of various subjects and always came to each session with a positive attitude and ready to teach. She worked with my daughter through a lot of practice problems and gave her many tests as needed until my daughter showed improvement. This aggressive approach worked because her grades have increased a lot. I'm very happy with the progress I've seen.

“Can't agree with the five-star reviews”

Jack D.

Unfortunately, the tutoring didn't help bring up test scores. The tutors were young and immature. They missed appointments or rescheduled at the last minute. One scheduled a lesson based on her time zone without factoring in the difference between hers and that of my daughter, who was unaware of the tutor's time-zone difference. None recommended regularly taking practice tests or portions of tests, a proven method for improving scores. A friend's daughter was enrolled with Edison Prep, which was significantly more rigorous in its tutoring and produced real results. Arbor Tutors, I hate to say, was a waist of $2,000.

My tutor was a big reason I passed my AP calculus class with an A. He also motivated me to do my best in every other exam taken as well. He helped enhance my analytical skills and provided detailed feedback points after the lesson. I would like to continue working with him and will definitely recommend him to someone who wants great results like I received.

Christie is a terrific math tutor. She's incredible at simplifying complicated math problems and concepts. She explains everything in great detail to help me further understand each topic. She is a good listener and she is very patient with me, even when it seems like I'm asking the same questions over and over. I want to thank her for all the hard work she put in to help me improve.

Rebecca is simply the best tutor my daughter has used. She is very knowledgeable and dedicated in helping my daughter to be better in school. Also my daughter enjoys her sense of humor and her engaging teaching methods. She gives extra effort and undivided attention to her and the results have been amazing. There has been a ton of improvement in her grades and test scores since the sessions started. I couldn't be happier with the tutoring she has provided.

I used the company to study for my LSAT's I had been doing some self-studying before making the decision to hire someone because there were things I was confused about. The score I received before using 60 hours of tutoring was the score I got on the test. I did every assignment I was assigned by my tutor and more. It never felt like the tutor was prepared and often sent me the same work to which it would take out of the session for them to find new material. When I would pose a question or struggle to understand something I never got a clear and helpful answer or description the answer was usually "it's a really hard question I don't like it". We only ever worked on one section of a four-part test and the sessions usually consisted of hours of just showing me questions and letting me keep guessing if I got it wrong never explaining or really working through questions. I know this now but there are strategies to the questions but I never learned that in the sessions. I am very disappointed and feel like i would have done better and saved money if I continued to self study

I signed up to Arbor Tutors for SAT tutoring for my daughter. I want to make sure she is fully prepared for the test when she takes it. I colleague of mine recommended Arbor Tutors because of the wonderful experience they had with their son and the progress he achieved in a short time. So far everything has been great and my daughter is learning a lot.

Tip for consumers:
Arbor Tutors helps a lot, but you must also put in the work to get the best possible results.

Arbor Tutors has been a great help for my SAT preparation for the past few months. I am proud to say that with their help I received a 1520 on my first and only time taking the SAT. Arbor Tutors won't stop until they are sure that you'll get an excellent result., I started off slow, but really excelled later in the sessions. I highly recommend Arbor Tutors because I'm proof that their methods work. They know exactly what it takes for you to get the best possible SAT score. My parents and I are absolutely overjoyed by the quality of their work and the score I received.

I discovered Arbor Tutors through an internet search. I contacted them and they responded promptly to my request. I ended up purchasing a tutoring package to help my son with the ACT. My son was paired with his tutor Caitlyn the next day. He felt comfortable working with her right away. After only a few months of working with her, my son's ACT score increased from 26 to 32, which is higher than we had expected. We really appreciate the effort Caitlyn gave and the commitment of the company to help my son get such a high score.

With Arbor Tutors' help, my daughter Chelsea scored 1530 on her SAT when she took it last March for the first time. Her tutor did a fantastic job of teaching her to master the SAT itself. Also, she helped my daughter build confidence and taught her how to manage her time effectively. Our minds were blown when we saw the score. Chelsea is extremely smart, but we didn't expect that she will be able to get that a high score on the first try. We are so happy to have chosen Arbor Tutors to help guide Chelsea to achieving a high score. The high score will open a few doors which would have been difficult otherwise.

We are so pleased we found Arbor Tutors for my daughter's ACT preparation. They were very accommodating and quickly assigned her tutor a tutor. Mary is such a kind soul and did a great job with my daughter. She had a better understanding of the process and materials after just a few sessions with Mary. Arbor tutors didn't just stop there. They checked on my daughter's progress from time to time to make sure that everything was positively progressing between her and Mary. This extra attention made a world of difference in ensuring that the tutoring stayed on track. My daughter ended up scoring a 33, well above our expectations. This investment in my daughters future was well worth the expense.

Makayla is an awesome tutor with a great personality to match. She has a gift for explaining complex topics in a clear and logical manner. She helped me review many different topics to prepare for our finals and did a terrific job of explaining things. She's trustworthy, always on time, responsive and an overall nice person. I've benefited greatly from having her as my tutor.

Christina is an aspiring professor and has a real passion for teaching. She is great at identifying weaknesses and shaping the way I view the subject matter. She also created a plan to strengthen my problem areas before my tests. She also provides beneficial tips and strategies that can be applied while studying the lesson and while taking exams. I am giving Christina credit for all the improvements I've been having so far since she started tutoring me.

I had a great tutoring session with Mark. He is a very easy-going and explains things very clearly. There have been many time I contacted him at the last minute and he always finds time to help me. He explains things clearly and we work well together. I think he's an awesome dude. He is definitely someone I'd recommend as a tutor if you want to improve your grades.

My tutor helped me do very well on my calculus finals. It only took a few sessions for me to be able to get a much better understanding of everything. I felt the tutoring was taught better than from my college professor. It was explained in the simplest way possible. He would thoroughly go over everything with me and tested my knowledge by giving me exercises before moving on to the next topic. He also helped me review and prepare for the finals with intensive study sessions. I really appreciate the excellent work I received.

My daughter Michelle's tutor was very helpful. I noticed that she taught her how to think in a logical way. She's been really weak when it came to anything math, but her tutor came to their sessions well-prepared and with a great willingness to work through everything with her. I believe that she was a great fit for my daughter.

My math and Physics tutors were both undeniably excellent! Both had an individual style which helped in better understanding the lessons. They were both very relatable and easy to talk to. I never felt dumb asking basic questions to them because they were experienced in helping students who were struggling like me.
