Hear what parents and students have to say about working with Nurturing Wisdom...
"I think our son's enthusiasm for this college application project has been surprising to all of us. He entered into this grumbling about "summer work" and changed his tune almost immediately. He has worked all summer on the essays and has done so willingly. Our tutor has been an amazing guide through this process and we are so happy that our son has the bulk of his college app requirements behind him as his senior year starts. Once again, Nurturing Wisdom has fulfilled our expectations and more. Thanks!!!!"
-Parent of 12th grader
"I took the GRE for the first time with a weekly on-site classroom preparation through another program. After taking the test, I was slightly disappointed with my score and knew that I could do better. That is when I was introduced to Nurturing Wisdom. I was assigned two tutors who met with me individually to focus on improving my weaknesses while reinforcing my strengths. My tutors were able to introduce strategies that helped ease my test-taking anxieties. When it came time for Test Day, I was able to reach and even exceed my goal score! I couldn't be more thankful for all of the help that I received from Nurturing Wisdom, and I highly recommend their program."
- Claire, GRE Student
"We just received the official ACT paper scores in the mail today! A 30!!! We're still taking it in. This could not have been achieved without our tutor and Nurturing Wisdom. We all know what a hard worker and what a smart cookie our daughter is, but she just had such a hard time with the test-taking skills. I was very impressed with how you were able to pinpoint the areas that our daughter needed help, in addition to the timing. Our tutor worked very, very hard to help our daughter. It was a perfect combination!"
- Parent of Lyons Township 11th Grader
“My husband and I think Nurturing Wisdom is a first rate operation. They interview the child and then decide on a tutor that might make a good match. The customer service is amazing, and everyone has been on time, dependable and great at what they do. It is a wonderful operation and a brilliant idea! My only regret is that we did not start the tutoring process SOONER!”
— Parent of New Trier Student
“I think the best thing about this whole experience had to do with confidence. I know that I always felt like I couldn’t understand math in general, but my tutor was ready to help me with anything and everything. I loved learning about geometry in a way that I understood it and I have come to enjoy it.”
- Avery Coonley 8th Grader
“I have to share with you something my son said yesterday......in Math class he said he feels like he’s almost the smartest in the class right now. He even figured something out his teacher was stumped with! Your tutoring is helping and restoring my son’s confidence.”
— Parent of Glenbrook South Student
“Our tutor is fantastic. She knows her content, tells my daughter how to prioritize, is a good balance of serious and relaxed, builds my daughter's confidence, gives her a hard time if she needs it, is prompt, responsive and flexible. She is perfect for my daughter. The only thing I would tell her to do differently is to keep tutoring ‘til my son is in college....we need her!!”
— Parent of Fenwick Student
“I was able to connect really well with my tutor, and she really knew how to work with the areas I struggled in on the ACT. The program really helped me become more familiar with the ACT format, and what to expect when taking the test. I have already seen huge improvements in my scores of each section. The program really focuses on different strategies to improve a certain section.”
