Denise W. says, "I enrolled my son in mindset2learn tutoring to help improve his learning skills. This program has provided him with the attention he needs both one on one and in group settings to navigate the more challenging subjects he faces in the classroom. The personal setting gives him the opportunity to work at his own pace and not feel embarrassed if he is not sure of the correct answers. I can see the improvement in his homework after only a few sessions. The tutors are patient with him and very flexible with their time. We took advantage of the virtual learning option during the snow storm so my son didn’t miss a beat. I am very pleased so far with this program and I would highly recommend them to all parents looking for extra help for their child"See more

Lucy J. says, "I am very impressed how Prof. Alex polished my accent, and I am extremely thankful for Prof. Alex’s mentorship and teaching. He is truly the best! Speaking English was very difficult for me, and I always doubted my speaking skills, thinking I wasn’t good enough. However, after completing the American Accent program with Prof. Alex, my English improved dramatically, and I feel so proud of myself. I speak very close to a native American accent—and that is more than enough. I’ve stopped overthinking how I speak, and now I can comfortably participate in conversations at work, with my family, and with friends. I watch movies and shows and understand everything—and trust me, Alex taught me how to do that! That’s a skill worth learning. Thank you so much, Prof. Alex. Nobody was able to do what you did! You are truly exceptional. I also want to mention the price because it’s important to understand: they say, “You get what you pay for,” and it’s true. I tried coaches charging $25 or $50, thinking it would help—but it didn’t. Prof. Alex isn’t cheap, but he is absolutely WORTH IT!"See more

Rudy C. says, "I worked with Matt from October 2024 till February 2025 in preparation for my LSAT. In the first month alone, he helped me raise my score 10 points, a huge leap for this test! Matt pays close attention to detail and really puts in the work to develop a gameplan that works for you. Aside form all that, his prices are incredibly reasonable, and he's more than willing to work with you in that regard. There aren't enough great things I can say about Matt and his work as my tutor. If you need help preparing for the LSAT, the GMAT, or other similar tests, he's your guy, and I would HIGHLY recommend him!"See more

Samantha G. says, "Our tutor Minh helped my son with his Calculus BC assignments and we noticed a significant improvement in only 4 weeks of lessons 2x per week 45 minutes each. we have tried other tutoring services but we are the most happy with this one. We also used a second tutor from this company for Chemistry and English which was also very helpful."See more
