TESTIMONIALS

As a parent, I was familiar with all of my son’s special qualities I knew he would be an asset to any institution he attended. However, communicating what set my son apart to schools was proving to be more of a challenge than I anticipated. When I realized that I needed help navigating the daunting college admissions process, I decided to contact Ellen Richards Educational Services. I could not have made a better decision. The first time I called Ellen Richards, we spoke at length about my son’s personality, background and learning style. Based on our conversation, Ellen Richards paired my son with a tutor who really gelled with him. I feel that one of the main strengths of Ellen Richards Educational Services is their commitment to matching students with tutors whose personalities and teaching styles make them not only excellent teachers but great mentors. My son’s tutor tailored a specific admissions plan for him that highlighted the strengths I always saw as a parent. Ellen Richards did not treat my son as one of many clients, but as an individual. Thank you for everything!

Thank you so very much for sending us a wonderful tutor. Math is not my daughter’s forte and she was terrified by the prospect of taking a 4-week chemistry course. She earned a B in large part because of your services.

I can breathe again.

I just wanted to thank you for sending an excellent tutor for my son. He is a gem and my son enjoys and appreciates all of his help. I have been telling my friends about your services in the event they need tutors, test preparation instruction, and/or guidance through the college application process. Many thanks for all that you and your team do.

Ellen, thanks for being patient and for having awesome tutors.

I just checked my daughter’s final exam grade – a 93!!!! This grade was especially important, as it counts double (as a make-up for an earlier missed test). The end result for the semester is a good solid B at 85. We are absolutely thrilled. Our tutor did a great job resurrecting my daughter’s confidence, which was the missing factor. Thank you!

Ellen is an extraordinary woman who I know truly benefited our family. The personal treatment that her company achieves is truly unique and has no doubt helped my kids prosper. She energetically responded to our specific needs and always offered the best plan of action to contribute to my kids’ individual growth. The company as a whole was always thorough, well-educated, and caring – right down to the smallest details. We’re so thankful to have gotten connected to her.

I was very pleased with my son’s tutor. He was always available to help out during lesson time as well as was in constant communication with his teachers. My son’s tutor showed patience and understanding throughout the process and set up a routine with my son so that he could receive optimal academic support when needed. I have been using Ellen Richards Educational Services for four years. Not only has my son shown amazing progress in his academic achievement, he has built up his self esteem and confidence.

I have used Ellen Richards Education Services for over two years. Not only did she provide an excellent ACT tutor for my daughter but also terrific math tutors for my son. The tutors are prompt, thorough, courteous, and more important, are extremely knowledgeable in subject areas they tutor and relate well to their students. In addition, Ellen Richards really cares about the individual progress and satisfaction of her clients and takes the time to match the right tutor with your child. She is also an excellent college consultant. She has a terrific sense for matching a student to the right schools and helping a student organize and prepare his or her overall college application strategy. Her guidance and suggestions to my daughter on how to organize her accomplishments in a pithy and logical manner that highlighted her greatest and most relevant strengths were invaluable. She was also a comfortable person to work with, answered all our questions thoroughly and promptly reviewed any material my daughter sent her.

My daughter had great difficulty in Algebra (math in general). Ellen Richards Educational Services provided my daughter with a tutor who was compatible to meeting her academic needs to the point that my daughter appreciated the help. It became a wonderful service for us as a family because tutors meet students in their homes and are available in the evenings and on weekends. I have found all of the company’s tutors to be very passionate and organized about their work. Ellen’s services were always there for us, even during those last minute calls. My child graduated with an “A” in math!

To whomever wishes to use Ellen Richards Educational Services, Inc., I will be the first one to say how dedicated and knowledgeable Ms. Richards is in understanding what a child needs. She utilizes her instructors to the utmost potential in aiding and tutoring the child. My son was so far behind (and still has a way to go), but he has made a tremendous amount of progress with tutoring and a lot of caring from Ms. Richards. She is always on top of the situation and updating with new material. We meet for progress reports and to discuss new issues when needed. I feel that throughout all of my experiences with tutors, and I have had a lot for my son, Ms. Richards is definitely the answer for us. We are happy and will continue to use her services for as long as my son requires tutoring. My son even likes his tutors which is a big plus because otherwise he would never make progress. All the emotional support Ms. Richards offers parents is amazing. Thank you Ms. Ellen Richards for everything.

We want to just take the time to thank you for all your guidance and help. All four of the kids have benefited from the amount of time, effort and honest assessments you have provided. A tutor is generally someone who works with a child to help them improve in their school work, but your company has provided us with much, much more. All the tutors who have worked with the kids have become mentors. They laugh with the kids and teach them to enjoy the subjects they are learning. Best of all, the tutors have become people who the children look up to instead of dread. I want to personally thank you for taking the time to find the right candidates to tutor each child, based on their personality and teaching style. Your staff has also been great on the follow-up and we look forward to using your company for our kids and those we sponsor in the future.
