Nicole's A+ Tutoring was referred to us from friends of ours in Hinsdale who have her tutoring their high school children. Nicole is able to teach our 2 middle school children online with a virtual white board (during bad weather days) as well as in-person at our home in Clarendon Hills twice a week. My kids look forward to their lessons and find learning with her fun and immensely helpful. They respect her and listen to her the entire time. They also complete all their homework and study for tests with Nicole. The in-home tutoring is so convenient. We will be hiring her for many more lessons and are recommending her to friends of ours. You simply cannot find someone both so qualified and who actually knows how to teach children of all ages like she does.

I was referred through another family whose son got into UCLA after working with Ben. Ben helped my son improve 7 points on the ACT to a 33 score. Now my son is eligible for a lot of scholarships and has even gotten a full-ride offer from a few schools. I'm so grateful to Ben for being able to help my son - he is an awesome tutor!
