Miss. Mei has been working with us for some weeks now, and Im already seeing big positive changes in my child and I requested her if I could leave her a review. Miss. Mei’s way of interacting with kids, her preparations for every class, her ongoing discussions with parents and her background being an experienced DOE teacher were some of the things that I really liked. She has great strategies. We work together as a team. My child loves her classes and always looks forward to it. Ms. Mei is very encouraging and has a positive outlook. She is sensitive to the overall needs of a child and plans her lessons accordingly. She even took the initiative of collaborating with the school teachers for maximal outcome. I’m very glad that I got in touch with Ms. Mei. I was looking for tutors online and feel very lucky to have found her. A Right teacher at the right time. My best wishes to Miss. Mei.

Gifted Genius Prep is an amazing company I highly recommend! My children have been tutoring with this company starting the beginning of the school year and I see them flourishing in learning a new language. They are professional and provide stellar learning experience for children. Again, I highly recommend using their services for language or test preparation. Thank you Mei for providing excellent educational services especially during these stressful situations. Gifted Genius Prep is one of the best learning companies because it’s fueled with people who care about children and learning. I promise you will receive an excellent virtual or in person experience with Gifted Genius.

We had an excellent experience with the Ms. Mei. Mei, the owner was always on time and good with kids. She is also a teacher and that truly helped assess our kids needs. I highly recommend her for her hard work and efficiency. She went to our home to tutor our two girls for the OLSAT and my youngest got accepted to her top choice school!

Mei tutors my son and is absolutely rock solid in her commitment to tutoring with every professional element including timeliness, being fully focused during intake prep and sessions, feeling clearly vested in tutoring, comes with all materials pre-sorted, plans well in advance with much time and labor, and overall makes tutoring truly impactful. Her excellence inspires our parental confidence.

I hace to say at first I was a bit worried about the tutoring services obtained online. But I have to admit I am thrilled with the knowledge, professionalism and caring of Cindy. She is amazing. My kids love her and they have learned SO MUCH with her. I would recommend her 100% to anyone. Very pleased and happy 😊
