"My son Danny, a 9th grader at a Manhattan private school, was continuously struggling with his homework assignments and tests. Even though he was enrolled in a special program in school, which was supposed to provide him with extra support, we were spending each evening in a nerve-wracking battle, trying to get his homework done. I was learning 9th grade math, physics and history all over again." "Schoolhouse Tutors came to the rescue. With much patience and perseverance, Jeff was able to help Danny focus, adjust his attitude and take more responsibility for the work that was required. As the hard work began paying off, Danny's confidence grew along with his self-esteem. Jeff's passion for teaching and his ability to provide a role model for teenagers are just the right combination. His organizational and interpersonal skills are key elements in his success. I highly recommend his service to anyone." - Ruth, parent of a Freshman at a Manhattan private school |

"I had my first session with Sophie today, and I just wanted to tell you that it has already made such a difference in my understanding of all things English. I've only had one other tutor in my life but I remember many of her answers being "I don't really know about this" and that she would read my textbook right before each session and that was about it." "Sophie seems to know everything about every one of my subjects, and thanks to her I no longer feel like I'm drowning every moment of school. Thanks so much!" - A Junior at Friends Seminary |

"After my daughter had worked with an SAT tutor recommended by her school for about six months, we switched to Schoolhouse Tutors. My daughter's attitude changed immediately. She did not dread the weekly sessions and she immediately felt more confident and that the sessions were worth her effort. The tutor that worked with my daughter was pleasant and made the work interesting. When she retook the SAT, her scores improved markedly. The results were impressive." - A parent of a Senior at Calhoun |

"I can't say enough about Schoolhouse Tutors and the wonderful tutor Diana who entered our home and my children's lives! Very gently she showed them how to present their work, research on the Internet and organize their messy backpacks and binders. She showed them how to do the sticky math problems, writing assignments, vocabulary and more. My son's writing improved and so did his grades. My daughter was doing poorly in math and spelling until Diana started working with her and now she gets 100s on all of her tests. Gently and without a lot of fuss, she works magic with the kids and they now work independently when she is not there." - Jean, parent of two Manhattan Middle Schoolers |

"I can’t thank you all enough for helping Jennifer. She feels comfortable with Eli and doesn’t mind the work he gives her. She loves the challenge and talks about their lessons at dinner. Eli has made Jennifer feel that she can do things and understand her reading. This is how Jennifer should have been taught history by her teacher." "You both are gems in helping students to relax and understand different things. I am a single mom and Jennifer is my life. You have all been a miracle for me this year." - Cathy, parent of a Junior at a Manhattan private school |
