Steadily Improving in Chemistry and Geometry

"I promised that I would get back to you when I received Sean’s progress report. I am very happy to report that with Shannon’s help, Sean has brought up his Chemistry grade up to a B from a C- (at the lowest point) and Geometry has been steadily improving from a C- to a C+. We are anticipating more improvements in the coming weeks. I thank you and Shannon for your service."

Lorri K., Mother of Leland High School Student, San Jose, CA

Outstanding Program I Can’t Say Enough!

"I just wanted to let you know that Sam received a B- in Chemistry and improved in history. Both tutors did an exceptional job in helping Sam, especially Jin. I can’t say enough of what an outstanding program you have. We felt very connected and informed with the updates after each session. Sam will be taking Pre-Calculus, come fall, and he has requested a tutor. We will be contacting you closer to the time. Thanks again for the valuable service you provided us with."

Laura W., Parent of Bellarmine Student, Sunnyvale, CA

From D to B in Calculus!

"We’re done!! Adam ended up with a “B”, all the way up from a “D” at the quarter. I can’t thank you enough. Not only did Adam’s grade improve but he really understands the material. He never dreaded the sessions and he really felt good about making such great progress. Your personality was a perfect fit for Adam and you obviously know the material :-)"

Carrie R., Parent of Student at Bellarmine College Prep,

We Are Delighted--Fs to Cs and Bs, and the sky is the limit!

"I just wanted to let you know how delighted I’ve been with the tutoring provided by A+ Home Tutors. When we started not quite 2 months ago, my daughter was failing virtually every subject in the 8th grade. She had basically given up, and she felt overwhelmed and defeated by her performance in school. We set my daughter up for twice weekly tutoring sessions. Her tutor immediately set to work helping her reorganize her binder and backpack. She then jumped into reinforcing instruction, teaching study skills and techniques, and giving pointers on ways to improve comprehension and retention. My daughter has blossomed as a result of her tutoring sessions. She feels capable, seems to be really enjoying her classes, and has a completely renewed outlook on school. The best news of all? My daughter just received her report card, and all her grades were C- or better! Now, my daughter will have a hefty dose of confidence and enthusiasm going into high school. Thank you so much!"

Lisa P., 8th Grade Parent, Palo Alto, CA

There’s No Comparison!

"We have been very happy working with Tiffany. She has an excellent rapport with my daughter Mary and her grades in Algebra II are rising steadily. I also enjoy receiving the online recap after each session and I print those out so Mary can refer back to them if she feels the need. We’ve worked with other tutoring services in the past and there’s just no comparison! Thank you very much for your professionalism and high quality of service. I’m so glad I called!"

Diane S., Parent of Valley Christian student, San Jose

Best Investment I Have Made

"I just wanted to send you a quick note on my son’s progress. I am very, very pleased. He has gone from C’s, D’s & F’s to A’s & B’s so far this year. Conor has always struggled with grades and, his self esteem now is incredible. He no longer sets himself up for failure but strives for better. Something he has never done before. I am glad that I chose A+ for my son. Best investment I have made."

Terri R., Parent of Leigh High School Student, San Jose

Exactly what I needed to get an A in Advanced Statistics

"I finally received the final grade for my advanced statistics course - to my astonishment ‘we’ pulled an A! I challenged you to find someone who had chemistry with me, who would be patient, to break things down into layman’s terms so that I could understand. And you came through for me. Devin was exactly what I needed, he was patient, funny, and extremely knowledgeable; he earned a respect from me that will be admired years from now. I couldn’t have done it without him and his explanation with colored m&m’s (lol). I would recommend Devin to anyone who needs extra TLC. Thank you Brian and Thank you Devin!"

Kim B., Adult Student in Advanced Statistics, Dublin

The Results are Already Showing in Chemistry Class

"I’m sorry it’s taken me a little while but the tutoring has been going great and I really want to thank A+ Home Tutors for matching Andy with my son. He says they get along really well and Andy is terrific at explaining the chemistry concepts and helping him work through examples and Andy has also helped him with Geometry. The best part is the results are already showing. He had a chemistry test last Thursday and scored 39 out of 41! Now they’re working together on reviewing for his Chemistry final next Monday."

Parent of High School Student, Saratoga

Overcoming dyslexia, From D to B in Math

"Our son, who struggles with dyslexia, has improved his math grade from a D last year to a B- this year. His teacher told us that he is really making an effort in class and has shown improvement."

Tracy R.., Parent of 8th Grade student, San Jose

The Best Support for Your Child

"I met with A+ Home Tutors while searching for the right tutor for my son who I knew would benefit from some individual instruction that just wasn’t available in his large math class. They matched my son with Maria, and she has been wonderful. My son looks forward to working with her, and she has been flexible in dealing with our busy and frequently changing schedules. My son’s performance in math has improved and getting his homework done is no longer the ordeal that it once was. I highly recommend A+ Home Tutors to any parents looking for the best support for their child."

Anne J., mother of 7th grade student in Menlo Park, CA

Now Math is My Daughter’s Favorite Subject!

"Tanya has been an exceptional tutor for my 9 year old daughter, Clare. My daughter’s confidence in math was low as she started 4th grade, and some of her standardized test scores showed deficits. As she worked with Tanya, she has gained tremendous confidence as she has learned new problem solving techniques. She is now an ‘A’ student in math and she says it is her favorite subject. Tanya also helped Clare become more independent in other subject areas and she requires very little assistance from us in completing her homework. Tanya is a positive, professional influence in Clare’s life and she looks forward to her weekly sessions with Tanya. I highly recommend A+ Home Tutors as a resource for your child’s success in school."

Cathy M., Parent, Monte Sereno

Mentor, Friend, Part of My Village

"Maria built a wonderful relationship with my daughter. She was more than her tutor. She was a mentor, friend, and part of my village that has supported me in raising my daughter. I have referred Maria to friends and colleagues with confidence and enthusiasm."

Laurie E., Parent of Gunn High School Student, Palo Alto

Student Ties for Top Math Score!

"We called A+ Home Tutors to arrange a math tutor for my 8th grade son. He wanted to do well on the Algebra 1 (High School Equivalent) exit exam so that he would get high school credit for the course. After two sessions with Andy, our son tied for the top score in the school! Our son really likes Andy, and we have asked him to come back for a few more sessions so that our son stays sharp until the end of the year. We are very happy!"

N.H., Parent, San Jose

Increased Performance and Confidence

"Brian took the time to teach, encourage, and challenge my child, resulting in increased performance and confidence in math. I wholeheartedly recommend Brian as a tutor and would use his services again in the future."

Parent, Leland High School student, San Jose

We are Very Happy, Thanks!

"My daughter likes the fact that Kris is visual in her teaching. They work well together. I think that maybe they could work on some test taking skills that would help too. Overall we are very happy thanks!! "

T.B., Parent of Mercy High School Student, Burlingame

Absolutely Fantastic — First A in math!

"Our tutor is absolutely fantastic. She explains things in a way Collin can understand, and he just called me to tell me he got an A on his math quiz. This is his first A in math!! "

Kathy P, Parent of 8th Grade Student, San Jose

Amazing Progress

"My son looked forward to his sessions with Brian every week, and the progress he showed with math in a few weeks was amazing. He was so proud of himself!"

Mother of 5th grader, San Jose

An A in Chemistry and a B+ in Geometry

"My son, a sophomore, has been working on Chemistry and Geometry with A+ Home Tutors since January. In December he had a C in Chemistry and C in Geometry. After working with a chemistry and math tutor, his midterm grade went up to an A in Chemistry and B+ in Geometry. Not only did his grade go up he is also ranked 2nd in his class in Chemistry! I highly recommend Brian Cheek and A+ Home Tutors!"

Susan M., Parent of St. Ignatius Student, Burlingame

The Tutoring is worth every penny! We have our lives back!

"During her first tutoring session, my Daughter was able to plow through a lot of back-work and current assignments. They got a ton done. And it was pleasant. My little girl actually got to be one yesterday. Liz planted an apple tree, experimented on her violin, read for fun, drew, and composed a nice piece on the piano. Today, she gets to hang out with her cousins, without guilt or stress. The tutoring is worth every penny. We will certainly continue with the tutoring if the results continue even partially this successful. Thanks so much!"

Kathleen M., 7th Grade Parent, San Mateo, CA

It’s Worth Every Penny!

"I have been blown away by the progress my daughter has made with Maria from A+ Home Tutors. In 2 months, her grade in math has gone up 2 full letter grades, and her overall grade point average has gone up 1.6 points. I had high expectations when I started using the service; A+ Home Tutors has met all of them and then some. It has been worth every penny."

Stephany Z., Mother Homestead High School Student, Cupertino

The Support has been Incredible

"The tutors from A+ Home Tutors were able to help my son by targeting his specific needs. The tutors worked in the math and science areas and they were highly qualified in those subjects. Most importantly, they were consistent, dependable, and very professional in their approach to tutoring my son. He found the tutors pleasant to work with and capable of communicating the subject matter very effectively. My son improved from C work to B+ in his junior year of high school. The support has been incredible. Brian listens very closely to the needs of the family and does not hesitate to make helpful suggestions when needed. This is the most reliable program we have ever experienced in the Bay Area. Good job and many thanks to A+ Home Tutors."

I.R., Parent of Bellarmine College Prep student, San Jose.

From Cs to a 3.7 Grade Point Average

"My son brought home some Cs in a few of his honors classes (the first time ever!), and he seemed a bit overwhelmed with his classes. A+ Home Tutors matched our son with Mike, who worked with him on creating and implementing an organizational strategy in addition to helping him with his school work. Now, our son has a 3.7 grade point average, and we are considering stopping the tutoring because we feel he can succeed on his own. Now that is success! We are very happy, and we would recommend A+ Home Tutors to anyone looking for a great tutor."

Mary Alice L., Parent of Serra High School student, Hillsborough

A Big Win For Us!

"Just wanted to let you know that Udaiveer passed the Geometry placement test and made it to Algebra II which was big win for us. Jesse [our tutor] and Udaiveer worked really hard to get through this and they were successful. A+ Home Tutors has well experienced and educated tutors, and I am very pleased with our result."

Vanita S., Parent of student at James Logan High School, Union City

I Cannot Thank A+ Home Tutors Enough!

"I am so happy with every aspect of A+ Home Tutors. I cannot thank them enough for what they have done. They are truly gifted at matching students with the best possible tutors, and they take the time to make sure the match is right. They recently matched my daughter with Simone, an amazing writing tutor that has already made a huge difference in my daughter’s writing. Simone has such a beautiful energy about her, and she has that spark that captivates my daughter’s attention and brings her writing to the next level. I would tell anyone looking for the highest quality tutor and outstanding customer service to call A+ Home Tutors so they can work their magic."

Carlos A., Parent of Sacred Heart Student in Daly City

A Turnaround in Math After Only a Few Sessions

"I called A+ Home Tutors when my daughter’s grades in Algebra started to plummet. I had heard about their success with other students from my daughter’s math teacher. They matched my daughter with Simona. Simona was able to quickly make a connection with my daughter, and after only a few sessions, her confidence in math and her test scores have turned around. Brian has been great at following up with us and addressing our questions and concerns."

Natasha H., Parent of 8th grade student, San Jose.

From 560 to 710 on Math SAT Subject Test

"A+ Home Tutors sent a tutor to our home a few days before the SAT 2 Math Subject Test, and the tutor really helped! After only one session, her score on a practice test went up 150 points, from a 560 to a 710. They had one more session together, and I can’t wait to see what the result is!"

Amy S, Parent of Palo Alto High School student

Solid Spanish 2 Foundation

Everything went excellent with the Summer Tutoring. Ryan just started Spanish 2, and even though he did not take Spanish 1 last year, he knows more Spanish verbs than his classmates (all of whom took a whole year of Spanish 1). Michelle was wonderful and worked very well with Ryan. We may need to have Michelle’s help again in the future if we run into some Spanish challenges : ) We will definitely call you for other tutoring if we need it. We have been very pleased with your program and our tutor!

Heynia C., Parent of 8th grade student, Los Gatos, CA

I would recommend A+ Home Tutors to others

A+ Home Tutors Helped Most

"Of all the things we did to support our son in Spanish, hiring Brian from A+ Home Tutors helped the most."

Parent, Bellarmine College Prep, San Jose

A+ Home Tutors Takes All the Anxiety Out of Hiring a Tutor

"I am very happy with Shannon, the tutor that A+ Home Tutors assigned to my daughter. They provide an all-in-one service that takes all the anxiety out of hiring a tutor. They make sure their tutors are qualified and monitor them so that I don’t have to. And Shannon has been wonderful. My daughter often shuts down when it comes to academics, but she responds to Shannon’s patience and articulate explanations. Shannon motivates my daughter and pushes her to think concepts through. I have decided to stay with Shannon for the next school year, and I may even have her spend some time with my younger daughter as well. For a turnkey solution that provides excellent quality tutoring and customer service, I recommend calling A+ Home tutors."

Christine V., Parent of 10th grade student, Burlingame

Impressed With Fast Results

"Alejandro is fantastic! I am very impressed with the results in such a short time. I have recommended A+ Home Tutors to a friend of mine and also told her to request Alejandro if possible. He is a great influence on my son and has been teaching him the importance of good study skills, repetition and note taking. His methods are very effective and Conor responds very well to him. Thank you so very much."

Terri R., Parent of Leigh High School Student, San Jose

Solid Foundation in Spanish

"The work Kirsten has done with Julia was very beneficial and provided Julia with a strong foundation for her studies in Spanish this fall. If it looks like Julia is falling behind, we will contact you to make future tutoring arrangements."

Accepted To Multiple Colleges

Ane M., Parent of Bellarmine College Prep student, San Jose

A complete turnaround...

Chelsea showed a "complete turnaround in math," according to her math teacher, after a single, one hour session.

Jason is now fully engaged in school...

Jason was unmotivated and and doing poorly in school. His parents tried making contracts with him, taking privileges away from him, lecturing him -- with ho success. After several months of tutoring, he has all A’s and B’s and he is fully engaged in his classes.

Marissa became a leader!

Math never came easy for Marissa. She always did poorly on tests now matter how hard she studied. With three months of tutoring support, she started earning A’s and B’s on her tests. She also gained the confidence to form a study group in her neighborhood and now no longer needs tutoring at all.

Matt’s attitude changed...

Matt hated English, hated reading, and hated school when he was in 7th grade. After several months of tutoring, his attitude changed. Now, as a junior in high school, he wants to major in English in college!

Ben moved ahead of his class...

Ben, a strong all-around student, needed some help to pass the placement test to skip 8th grade math and take algebra 1 this year. With tutoring support, he passed the test, and now he is earning a solid A in the advanced class.
