What Our Clients Are Saying
Real reviews from the parents and students we've worked with.
Read more reviews on GoogleI can't say enough about how phenomenal Tutors & Friends has been for my daughter's educational experience. We've been with T&F for her math and now chemistry tutoring for the past 3-4 years, and she has excelled every year in large part due to their help. Alex & Sarah are professional, kind and caring people who go above and beyond to make the entire experience the best it can be for you and your student. The tutors are top notch and do an absolutely amazing job! I highly recommend!!
We have used Tutors & Friends weekly for a year now and what a difference it has made with both my middle school daughters. I had one daughter that wasn't responding well to the new school transition and teaching method and was struggling in testing, but after Tutors & Friends she brought her grade up from a C to an A by the end of the year. My other daughter loved her tutor and really connected with her, and I feel very confident in her success going into high school knowing she will continue on to advanced math with her tutor's help. Also they are truly great at weekly reminders and check-ins and will always get on an emergency call if needed for any reason. I have recommended them to many friends and everyone loves them. 100 out of 10 for sure!
Our three children have used Alex's awesome tutoring services throughout high school and college as well! He and his amazing group of tutors have helped our children thrive above and beyond what they thought their limits in math and absorbing challenging concepts were. Alex is passionate about his business and excellent at matching the right fit of tutor to learning styles. Our outstanding experience has been with professional, patient and caring tutors, led by Alex, who has come through so very many times when our children needed extra help. We saw our children becoming more confident in their subjects and open to saying when they do need more help. Alex was a huge weight lifted when a test was around the corner and also just week to week. Honestly, we owe so much of their math successes to Alex and Tutors & Friends! Thank you Alex for providing a wonderful tutoring experience! Highly recommend!!
Love, teachers and friends. We have used them for the last two years. They're always prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. Alex is amazing at knowing what's going on even within the classroom: teaching styles, tests, dates, expectations, etc. I'd happily recommend this company to anyone.
Alex Stein and his company, Tutors & Friends, have been exceptional. The tutoring services provided cover a wide range of subjects, from advanced and regular math to chemistry, biology, physics, and more. Alex has a talent for selecting tutors who are a perfect fit for your child, and if there were to be any problem at all, there's always another tutor eager to step in and assist. Furthermore, every tutor I've met has been incredibly kind and willing to help. My grades have significantly improved ever since I began using their services, and I wholeheartedly recommend Tutors & Friends to anyone seeking to stay a step ahead in their academic journey.
My daughter began her 9th-grade journey at Ethel Walker Boarding School in Connecticut. Having completed her middle school education in California with a different curriculum, specifically Common Core math, she encountered challenges in catching up with the new coursework. Recognizing this, I reached out for help and received a recommendation for Tutors and Friends. To date, she has had four productive Zoom sessions with them, and her progress has been remarkable. She recently achieved an A on her first test and, surprisingly, she genuinely enjoys these tutoring sessions. I am deeply appreciative of their support and wholeheartedly endorse their services.
Why Our Online Tutoring Is More Effective
Online doesn't mean hands-off. Here's how we make every lesson visible, reviewable, and accountable, so you always know your student is making progress.
Tutors Write Directly on the Screen
Our tutors work through every problem step-by-step on a shared whiteboard in real time, just like pencil and paper, so nothing gets lost.
Lesson Summaries After Every Session
After each lesson, you get a clear recap of what was covered, how your student engaged, and what to work on next, so you're never left wondering what happened.
Every Lesson Is Recorded
Your student can rewatch any session anytime, perfect for reviewing a tricky concept the night before a test, with no pressure to get it all the first time.
Monthly Progress Reports
Once a month, we send a bigger-picture look at your student's growth, strengths, and goals, the kind of accountability most tutoring just doesn't offer.
