The entire team at North Avenue is amazing. I was impressed with their thoughtful service from my first conversation with them. Most importantly, my child has been using the skills, concepts and systems they taught him in the Executive Function program. Jameson made the sessions engaging and actionable which allowed my child to feel empowered to tackle his projects.

I worked with North Avenue Education for both my ACT tutoring and my college essay tutoring. Both experiences were amazing and I found that both tutors, as well as client support were super helpful and efficient. I would definitely recommend North Avenue to anyone hoping to get support on academics.

Our daughter was diagnosed with ADHD and struggled with executive functioning skills. She is extremely bright and motivated to do well in school but felt very frustrated with her time management and organizational skills. Judy Lee came into our lives at just the right time and was a real blessing! Our daughter really loved her sessions with Judy. I could hear them laughing all the time! Judy, in her kind and insightful way, skillfully guided Hayden to incorporating the skills she needs to succeed in school. She can now time block her schedule (in advance!) to plan her week. She is aware that her screen time impedes her ability to get things done and uses an app to limit it. Most importantly, our daughter is developing the confidence she needs to succeed in ways that are most important to her. Judy is also a skilled SAT and writing instructor. Her background in psychology gives her great sensitivity to her students. I highly recommend North Avenue Education. Scott, Liz, and Gwen are very responsive and do an amazing job. I'm forever grateful.

It's difficult for me to express in words how very grateful our entire family is for North Avenue Education and in particular for my middle daughter's current tutor, Patrick Miller. My daughter struggles with ADHD and was very nervous beginning her freshman year at Jesuit this Fall. Thanks to Patrick she is not only getting her work done on time, but thriving in her classes and feeling a confidence that she's unaccustomed to. Patrick makes learning feel achievable for her because he has equipped her with study skills and executive functioning skills that she's learning to employ on her own. The best thing a parent can hear is "I'm so excited to go to tutoring"! And that's exactly what we are hearing at home. I love to see my daughter feeling confident and energized about school. We're beyond grateful for Patrick and his detailed follow up after tutoring sessions. He is an A++ and North Avenue Education has been Five Stars all the way in helping us land on the perfect fit. Thanks to you all.

My two daughters had very limited testing experience coming from Montessori Schools and scored accordingly on their first exposure to the SSAT. Scott and his team, in a short two month period, taught them how to utilize their abilities to maximize their potential. We couldn't have been more pleased with their methodical approach and outstanding execution. We will certainly be back when it's time for the SAT.

I did SAT test prep with Aidan as my instructor, and it was amazing! The individualized teaching style allowed him to meet me exactly where I was and tailor a custom plan to raise my SAT score by more than 150 points. Additionally, every class was engaging and dynamic, making tutoring feel less like a chore and I even started looking forward to it! Highly recommend.

I used North Avenue for both SAT prep and college essay workshops, with Scott being my mentor for both. My SAT score was raised from 1250 to 1460, and my essays got unique feedback and planning that really helped me organize and construct my papers better. Scott was a great teacher and a fun person to talk to, and I would recommend him and North Avenue Education to anyone thinking they need extra help with testing or college essay workshops.

Since then, we have begun doing test prep with our oldest son before he enrolls in Catholic high school. I feel very confident that Scott will prepare him well for this entrance exam. Scott holds quite a depth of knowledge and has great skill in tutoring, but what he also has is an ability to relate well with all ages. I believe kids learn more in a comfortable environment and from someone they actually like. Thankfully, Scott brings all of this into his tutoring.

This co deserves a 6 out of 5. It was worth every penny and more. Sure other companies may be a bit cheaper but they also have 20 plus students in a room. Fallon was in a room of 8 and his teacher Patrick actually created a fun learning environment. For a teenage boy to say he had fun in a PSAT class speaks volumes to the learning experience. Thank you Patrick. Thank you North Ave for creating this amazing program. We are so lucky to have found you.

I also really appreciated the post-session emails that Scott sent to help me remember what was covered in a given lesson, and what we would focus on during the next upcoming session. If you're ready to work hard to improve your scores and want a dependable tutor/coach to help you in that process, Scott's a great choice.

With the proper work put in, I would definitely consider NAE a true investment in any child that can return major dividends.

My child has had great results from his two different North Avenue programs. First he took a class on preparation for the SSAT for high school. He did well on the test. Three years later, he's been doing a study skills program and it's been amazing for him. He's learned different ways to study for tests, made outlines and plans before writing papers, proofread his work, and gotten better with scheduling his time and taking notes. This isn't cheap but it's worth it.

Totally professional, comfortable atmosphere, great tutor. Going here was one of the best things I did to increase my competitiveness at the grad school I am applying to. Can't recommend them enough.
