"I wanted to let you know that my son received his grades last night from his Catholic High School Entrance exam and received above average ratings in all categories.
The tutoring Joe received by Brett, assisted by Ashley, was instrumental to him achieving these scores.
The JBG experience from start to finish was outstanding. You deliver what you promise. You matched Brett to my son from a personality perspective which allowed my son to trust him and fully participate. Brett recognized his strengths and weaknesses quickly allowing for them to work on the areas of concern in a short period of time.
We will and have recommended your service to others and I fully expect you will be hearing from us again for help in the future with our son during his high school years, if needed, but most certainly in preparation for his SATs.
I hope that business is going well for you. Feel free to use me as a reference. I can vouch for a positive experience for a child who did not want anything to do with tutoring!" -- KG
"We have been completely and over -the- top satisfied with this smart, organized, current/cutting- edge, energetic and caring group of young professionals. An initial consultation with Jamie provided the groundwork for her to know each of my children, each at their own time -- their strengths, areas to work upon, personalities, learning styles, interests and talents. She really took this to heart, knowing each of my children. My kids also immediately connected, felt that about her, and trusted her. They were each matched with a tutor who helped them focus upon areas they had identified as wanting/needing to work on. Through this initial conversation with my son and daughter -- knowing their grades, talents, interests, and eventually their test scores, she also helped each of them narrow down what kind of school they might be interested in and helped them gather/ formulate a list, with guidance as to which schools might be easier or more difficult to get into based upon their profile, offering suggestions of schools each had not considered or known about. Jamie also helped my daughter to put an entire application together. She then knew how it should look as she sent out all the others on her own. Most importantly, we always had someone to pose a question to, to help quell anxiety or test taking jitters. Jamie is unbelievably responsive and knowledgeable. I would get an email after the test date, "how did she think it went?" or a little emailed note "did all the apps get into the mail?" or "what is his/her game plan for getting these done?" JBG Tutors can do as much or as little as you would like. Jamie totally offers the services that YOU request, not tying you to anything that YOU do not want, while offering other suggestions and ideas that you just haven't thought of, especially if this is your first time through this as a parent. She is there for you as a family and I really believe that she cares about these kids. She is extremely flexible available, and proactive. Every tutor we met was outstanding. They excel in making the kids own this process and feel comfortable with them in consultation. If I had a third child, I would call upon this amazing group again in a heartbeat and at the same time realize that instead I'll just be missing all of Jamie's little emailed notes this fall!" -- LC
"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.......HE GRADUATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to extend my compliments to you, Ariel and Christen. What can I say, you are all awesome. You were so prompt in meeting my needs, that it was almost unbelievable. Ariel and Christen were excellent, showing committed, respectful and professional behavior at all times, towards John and myself. Thank you again, so much." -- Mickey Golden
"Thank you Jamie. This is a time of change. Entering into the college testing and admissions process is daunting; you and your tutors not only helped with my daughter's understanding of the SAT test; your help brought the confidence she needed to navigate and prepare for this exam. Taking the test is easy, understanding how to study, use your knowledge, and scoring well is complex. Thanks again for unlocking much of my daughters potential." -- Mike McLaughlin
"There are so many adjectives that come to mind when I describe Jamie and what JBG Tutors has to offer. Jamie is more than a tutor. She is a coach, a cheerleader, a person who is very passionate about her role. She is a person who restores/reinforces lost confidence and truly has inspired my daughter to never give up and recognize that she has many strengths. She is so willing to communicate with you about a variety of topics, and as a parent I have such confidence that the advice she offers is superb, I never been disappointed or felt threatened. She adds fun and excitement as she pursues her educational dreams and I feel she is truly commited to helping my child meet success" -- Sue Toli
"I can heartily recommend both JBG Tutors and Brett. We have worked with Brett for SAT tutoring, English and organizational tutoring. He has developed an excellent rapport with our son and we have received no resistance on the weekly meetings. Brett is very organized, personable, and very good with our son. He can relate easily to him, has a lot of experience to draw from, but is also no nonsense and keeps him on track. Brett is also very able to translate and explain what he is trying to accomplish and how as parents we can be part of the solution. He is always punctual, neat, and all the other things that go without saying from a professional. Brett really has been a pleasure to work with. Our son has given us a lot of resistance over the last few years and Jamie has always found a way to accommodate, change or reorganize things to keep him moving forward. She has also been an invaluable resource and ‘sounding board’ for us as we have navigated through the maze of teenager-hood and our son's particular challenges. We believe that our son has benefited from his association with Jamie, Brett and JBG tutors." -- SB
"Jake just received his grades for the spring semester. We are all on cloud nine!!!!! I know Jake did all the hard work, but Josh was an essential component. Josh's ability to tutor both subjects was a key to Jake's success. Jake told me on several of the exams in Organic and Genetics during the year there were questions he recognized because of Josh. I want to thank you again for providing extremely qualified tutors who also were very nice people to work with. I look forward to a continuing relationship with you over the next few years. Your handling of the change in Organic tutor and the assignment of a writing tutor was fast and comforting. You were also an essential factor in Jake's success. It is a pleasure to work with you!" -- DK
