Coming Up
We will be on break from Monday, Dec 23 through Saturday, Jan 4. We will resume services and respond to messages on Sunday, Jan 5. However, sessions can already be scheduled through the month of January!
Starting Jan 1, we will begin differentiating between academic, test prep, and other kinds of tutoring sessions. This adjustment will show up on Calendly booking forms and Stripe purchases. Prices will not change from those currently listed on our website.
Positive Feedback
As we reflect on the year that has passed, we feel grateful for all the students and families we have gotten to work with! From new families to ones that have been with us for several years, we thank you for your continued commitment to learning with us.
We’ve received several generous testimonials this season! A few happy and amusing highlights:
- “I got into all of my top colleges! I just want to thank you for all of your help! I really appreciate it, and I could not have done as well on my SAT as I did without your tutoring!”
- “[Our son] mentioned that he rocked it in math today and credited his work with you for that. So great.”
- “Beyond being a brilliant educator, Joshua also bakes a mean sourdough loaf.”
- “Thank you for such a successful class! [Our daughter] had a positive attitude about learning Hebrew throughout the session. We greatly appreciate all your work teaching the class.”
- “Are you going to be teaching that class too? Oh, good!”
Wishing you a happy holiday season!
