Success Stories

"This is such good news and I can't thank Ashley Tutors enough. Ashley Tutors does a wonderful job! Grace is an awesome tutor and teacher. She brings so much enthusiasm to the session and she connects with and engages my niece in such a positive way. She also makes learning fun all the time!"

"As a 6th grade student my daughter was struggling with math. We had used several tutors in the past but for one reason or another they didn't work out. We found out about Ashley Tutors through the Westland Middle School internet and gave them a try. In no time her grades improved and her confidence in math increased. Before Ashley Tutors she was very close to getting a C in math in the second quarter. By the third quarter she was a solid B and by the end of the school year she was just a few points from getting an A. She has settled on a tutor that she likes from Ashley Tutors. The tutor is very effective, patient and calm in explaining different concepts to her. She is definitely a good match for my daughter. It's wonderful to see my daughter's progression from disliking and being frustrated with math to feeling confident and proud of her math abilities. She has a much more positive attitude about math now."

"I'm very, very happy with our English language tutoring experience with Ashley Tutors. Ashley was tremendously helpful and friendly, and our children are in a MUCH better place for learning in school because of Ashley Tutors. My daughter recently told me,"Mommy, I have something to tell you --- I understand EVERYTHING that you say!" As had been predicted, the amount of words that they know now is astounding, they pick up new words very naturally and easily. Thank you again!"

"Thank you so much for sending Abby and doing it so quickly. She worked out great! I am not sure what my son's final grade will be in his Algebra class, but I can tell you that his grade increased from a low F (34%) to a D (64%) within the four days that Abby worked with him. I wish I had contacted you earlier, but I know we are excited to work with you when school starts in the fall."

"I wanted to take a moment to say thanks for sending Joe our way. He did such an outstanding job with our son and the grades in Algebra 2 speak for themselves! Again, thank you for a job very well done and it was worth every cent! Ashley Tutors works!"

"I just wanted to say that Ashley's Tutors made me feel like my son's education was just as important to you as it is to me. I don't think that I could have asked for a better tutor than the one you teamed up with my son. She is able to explain his work to him in a way that he can understand and I totally appreciate her patience with him. I know that if we have tutoring sessions in July and August my son will do much better in the coming school year!"

"Our daughter's grades were A's and B's except for a low D in Pre-calculus. She did not understand the class work and she needed more help than the teacher could provide at lunchtime. Ashley Tutors assessed her overall academics and then provided Suzie, a graduate college-age tutor skilled in Pre-calculus. Suzie worked with the teacher to understand the lesson plans and spent an hour per week reviewing concepts, practicing problems and preparing for tests. Our daughter raised her quiz and test scores to A's and B's and Suzie increased our daughter's overall confidence in Pre-calculus."

"Ashley Tutors has dedicated, caring, and skilled tutors. Our tutor believed in our daughter, connected with her, and helped her to believe in herself. She went from struggling with on-grade level material to willingly working on above-grade level content. Sessions with the tutor are geared to our child's learning style and my daughter has found learning fun. The tutor is an incredibly positive influence. She has helped our daughter take ownership over her homework. Now our daughter will come home and sit down and start her homework without reminders.

The tutor helped her become responsible and accountable for her work in a positive way. Slowly over 6 months she built our daughter's self esteem and changed her perception of herself. Most importantly our daughter is finally engaged and now enjoys learning."

"Jennifer's quiet enthusiasm, empathy and intelligence created a comforting zone for my daughter to confront her math challenge. My daughter improved her skills and she has a heightened confidence in her abilities. I plan to keep the door open to Ashley Tutors, as time goes on, should she need further help. I highly recommend the Ashley Tutors and am very impressed with the skill, professionalism and kindness of the tutor we were assigned."

"Thanks for all your help with my son. As I mentioned, he received straight A's this quarter. He's never done that before and just a few years ago he was barely passing. Please keep up the great work and thanks again for everything!"

"The tutoring sessions have been great for my daughter and I think that it has made her much more confident in her writing. The biggest changes I have seen are that she is no longer trying to write the shortest possible answer to questions, and she is no longer freaking out over having to write responses. I'm sure that there are several factors at work here - increased maturity, middle school independence - but also her tutoring sessions with Jenn. We are very pleased with her progress and Ashley Tutors."

"Thank you guys so much! Octavio helped a lot and our daughter understood your tutor when she didn't understand the teacher. I always heard if you get the right person it makes all the difference and boy do I believe it. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, and again THANK YOU!!!!"

"Ashley Tutors is a great tutoring team! I would recommend them to anyone who is in need of additional help. My daughter was paired with Dave and Ashley Tutors did a great job with pairing these two together. He made such an impression on my daughter! My daughter learned so much in such a little time, it was absolutely amazing. Dave is patient, quickly made her feel comfortable, and he was able to communicate with her on a level that worked best for my daughter. My daughter used to be somewhat"reserved" in asking questions, but working with Dave, she is coming around. She learned that it's okay to ask questions and not be ashamed or care what others think. Also, working with Dave gave her the confidence to know that it's okay to make a mistake, realize what she did wrong, and to correct herself.

The other great thing I liked as a parent was, that not only did Dave work with her on her math skills, he also took an interest in other areas of her life. I think that made an immediate improvement in her character as a whole."

"Ashley Tutors has been a wonderful experience for my daughter and myself! Our tutor, Michelle, was a perfect match for my daughter. Michelle's patience and passion for teaching on this level was superb. Once again, your (Ashley Tutors), assistance made all the difference in the world."

"Our tutor, Kate, has been amazing. My daughter looks forward to her coming every week! Not only have her grades improved, but also her self-confidence. She admires Kate greatly, does not feel judged, and feels accepted for who she is."

"I want to let you know how happy we are with Marianne. My daughter's teacher just informed me that she earned a B on her Chapter test and her 4th quarter grade is now a B! The final is the week after next and based on how the tutoring is progressing; I expect her to do just as well."

"We are VERY happy with our tutor, Marianne. My daughter is really comfortable with Marianne and likes her a lot, which I'm sure helps her concentrate. I overhear some of their tutoring session and can tell that Marianne is patient and explains things really well. They're making great progress on the final exam study guide and I expect my daughter to do much better than she would have otherwise.

I hope Marianne continues tutoring because I'd love to hire her next school year for both my daughters.

I'm also very impressed with how quickly the CenterTrac report is sent to me."

"I'm very pleased with how these sessions are progressing. In only three weeks I think my son has already made great progress with his instructor Dave. He is thinking through his answers a bit more thoroughly, his handwriting is neater, and he is becoming more confident.

In addition, I'm impressed with the speed of the"CenterTrac" reports. With the detailed session reports, I am really able to build on what our tutor is working on in between sessions."

"I know it has only been one visit, but I already like what I see with our son. He has had a tough couple of years and turning things around is critical at this point. He deserves it. Thanks so much!"

"Spanish never came easy for my student, and she was beginning to get overwhelmed with the class. Ashley Tutors was able to match her with Alex, and the two of them have been working weekly on building a solid foundation for her Spanish skills that will benefit her for years. With Alex's help, her confidence is up and she is now enjoying the class. Ashley Tutors really did make learning and Spanish fun!"

"An 'E' to an 'A' in Honors Chemistry! A 'D' to a 'B' in French! What more could you ask for? I was looking for a tutor that would help my kids and make sure they also enjoyed the extra lessons. Ashley Tutors did that and more. Ashley Tutors gets it right every time!"

"Ashley Tutors is just what any student needs in their life. Our tutor ALWAYS has a smiling face, a big heart and a constant positive approach to teaching."

"Ashley Tutors is terrific! I hope our tutor never loses the qualities that make him who he is to the students (and us parents). Thanks!"

"I have watched Ashley Tutors work wonders for my Grandson. His grades are up and so is his confidence in and out of the classroom."

"Thank you so much for helping at the end of the year. Paul Hashagen was excellent for our son, and I loved his patience and dedication. I hope he’ll be available next year for a weekly Algebra tutoring session."

"Thank you for helping my daughter with geometry the past few months. She scored an 86 on the final semester exam, which was a high grade for her class. That B pushed her overall second semester grade from a C to a B, which is what I was hoping for."

"Thank you Ashley Tutors, for providing another successful year of math help for my daughter. Michelle was able to hone in on my daughter’s strengths and weaknesses right away. She gave loads of encouragement in addition to solid help. Michelle bolstered my daughter’s self-confidence, allowing her to approach tests and assessments with less trepidation."

"I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Bryan and Ashley Tutors for your incredible professionalism and your assistance in helping my daughter bounce back and turn her Algebra grade around. She was struggling with the concepts, and Bryan took the time and showed her strategies that helped improve her grade. Although we didn’t start until the last couple weeks of school, Bryan was able to make it all click."

"Ms. Chou not only developed a solid relationship with our family, but with my son’s teachers as well. I feel this was one of her greatest attributes. She understands that for a student to be successful, it requires a team effort, and we have had a solid team. After tutoring with Ms. Chou my son received his first"A" in math, and not only was it an"A," it was a perfect score."

"I wanted to let you know that our daughter passed her statistics course and successfully graduated from Walter Johnson High School. Her tutor Anne’s help was critical, and I appreciate the time and effort she put into getting my daughter through this. She was truly superb."

"Thank you for pairing us up with Tsion. She has been an outstanding tutor and she and my daughter bonded instantly. The one-on-one sessions helped my daughter understand how to work out her formulas correctly and even gave her enough confidence to go to the board in class. Her teacher told me it was a pleasure to teach my child because she was interested and she showed so much progress. She went from an E to a C in the third quarter. I can't wait to see her final grade."

"Ashley Tutors does a wonderful job! Tanya is a wonderful tutor and teacher. She brings enthusiasm to the session and she connects with my daughter Jessika in a positive way. Before Ashley Tutors, my daughter was failing math and losing confidence fast. By the fourth quarter, her grades had improved and she had earned a ‘C+.’ Tanya is very patient and calm in explaining different concepts and she was definitely a good match for my daughter. It's wonderful to see my daughter's progression from disliking and being frustrated with math to feeling confident and proud of her math abilities."

"My two children have different learning styles, and all of the Ashley Tutors instructors were absolutely right on the money. They were able to help both children pass their finals with flying colors. Your instructors are definitely top of the line teachers who have the patience and expertise to understand the child and assess their strengths as well as to help the child to conquer their weaknesses. Your dedicated teachers enjoy seeing the light bulbs come on in the minds of the children they teach. Bravo and many thanks to Ashley Tutors for a fantastic company! Many heartfelt thanks from a truly grateful parent!"

"We have been so happy to have Josh and Ashley Tutors help our son overcome the challenge of learning a new language. He has enjoyed working and playing with you as he learned. Your talent, motivation, expertise, and politeness have been second to none. Thanks for your efforts — they are much appreciated!"

"Ashley Tutors has been so responsive to the needs of our family. They were able to provide a highly skilled math tutor for my high schooler on fairly short notice. We were delighted to find the tutor to be not only knowledgeable of the subject matter, but also able to convey the skills and techniques my child needed in order to succeed. An extra bonus was the amiable personality of the tutor, who easily related to my teenager and helped build up the confidence needed to do well in class and on tests."

"I was really impressed with the professionalism of the people at Ashley Tutors. From the start they were very willing to coordinate the ACT tutoring sessions with my daughter's schedule. I didn't want my daughter to be overwhelmed with the sessions and Josh was very understanding when he met with us. Tania, our tutor, was very reliable, helpful and my daughter really enjoyed her sessions. She never gave me that"I don't want to do this" look. Most importantly, it did make a significant impact on her ACT score and was well worth the money and time."

"Our experience with Ashley Tutors has been wonderful. The business is well run and managed, and our tutor was dedicated, knowledgeable and caring. Our son looked forward to his sessions with Aaron and gained a tremendous amount of confidence in his math skills. Aaron worked with him on test taking strategies and Jack raised his math grade from a C to an A!!!!! Aaron took the time to get to know Jack as a person, and always asked about his non-academic activities. We appreciated the ease of using e-mail for session reports, payment, and other important information. We would highly recommend Ashley tutors."

"Ashley Tutors was a truly invaluable resource for preparing my daughter for the AP Biology Exam. Josh, Tori's tutor, had exactly the expertise needed to help her master the vast amount of information covered in such a difficult course. Tori is thrilled to have scored a 5, the top score achieved by only 15% of all students who take the AP Biology Exam."

"Choosing Ashley Tutors was a great decision for us. The tutor helped our daughter to keep on top of her homework assignments and to review the areas in which school/class lessons didn't result in complete understanding. Best of all, using Ashley Tutors eliminated the head-butting that almost always seemed to occur when we (the"annoying" parents!) tried to review our teen's homework with her. In our daughter's own words:"Kate is really nice. She helps me organize my work and study for tests. I like working with her much better than working with my parents."

"My son and I found Ashley Tutors to be professional and friendly to work with. They put a good deal of effort into finding the right tutor for son, who is a first year college student. It was a positive experience for us, and the one-on-one Algebra help was exactly what he needed. His test scores increased from D's to B's. I would definitely call on Ashley Tutors again."

"Ashley really tries to help kids learn. She makes it fun and learning doesn't seem hard. We laugh a lot together and she likes me. Ashley makes me feel smart."

"It went fabulously. She is wonderful and we hit off right away. She explained everything thoroughly and completely and has given me a real familiarity with the subject now. I am by no means ready to go it alone but she really is encouraging."

"I just wanted to let you know that I got into VCU in December and last night I found out that I got into JMU as well! So now I have to decide between the two of them. I just wanted to thank you for helping me so much to get my math SAT grade up. I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten into school without your help!"

"Thank you. Dave is a perfect fit for her style. She has responded better than we'd ever imagined. Overall she is happier because she is less stressed about the math. This has eliminated a lot of arguments in our family. The best part is she is proud of what she's accomplished!"

"I want to give you an update and let you know my son earned an A on his test which now brings his current grade up to a B! Thanks to tutors like Joe my son is back on track. Ashley Tutors works! Thanks Guys!"

"Shawntel is fabulous! She has bonded well with my daughter. She is supportive, patient, encouraging, thorough and firm. All the things I'd like to be when working with my daughter, but am not. Thanks for making such a great match."

"Thank you so much! Your tutoring has made a world of difference for my daughter. She is doing well in both science and math mainly due to the confidence that she has gained working with Jackie. Jackie is fabulous and my daughter loves working with her."

"Having one-on-one time with an experienced tutor has helped my son stay on track and has given him the confidence he needed to be successful!"

"I wanted to let you know that we asked the school to test my niece to see if she had improved. I am delighted to let you know that the results of the testing show that she has shown tremendous improvement. Her teacher actually said it was"phenomenal." This is such good news and I can't thank Ashley Tutors enough. You guy's do a wonderful job! Grace is an awesome tutor and teacher. She brings so much enthusiasm to the session and she connects with and engages my niece in such a positive way. She also makes learning fun all the time!"

"We feel that my daughter's first session was a huge success! Her tutor Monika was awesome and our tutor really related to her in a way no other tutor ever has done!

We really appreciate Monika adjusting her schedule at such short notice in order to put in extra work with my daughter. As a matter of fact, she is pretty certain that she aced her science test - a first for her! As you can tell, we are so excited!"

"Our daughter just passed biology!!! She just finished the difficult, genetics benchmark, and next week she will begin earth sciences.

Thank you so much for helping her finish biology. It is the most difficult science course in the curriculum. She could not have done it without your help!"

"Marianne was great! My daughter thought she was very friendly and approachable. Marianne certainly presented herself with a positive"can do spirit" and connected with our teen immediately. In just their first session, my daughter expressed how nice it was working with Marianne, and if she did not understand some of what our daughter had to review, Marianne took extra efforts to understand and absorb it.

From a parental aspect, Marianne was a godsend! She was enthusiastic, professional, and attentive beyond our expectations--Marianne spent much more time than we anticipated. Thank you, Marianne, for your special attention and the extra time you spent with our daughter. We truly appreciate what you accomplished this evening!!!"

"One night with our instructor Octavio and my daughter is already making progress! Octavio was able to show my daughter the strategies that helped her understand Algebra and made her feel good about herself too. I can not believe this - she goes to a private school and has not understood math for years. They are meeting again on Saturday morning and I would like them to continue this for the summer so they can prepare for her Geometry class next year. Thank you so much!"

"Ashley Tutors meets my daughters twice a week after school when they step off the school bus at the JCC. Both my girls grab a healthy snack and then spend an hour working with the energetic tutors. They get their homework done, sharpen their study skills, and have a blast, too. They can't wait for their next session!"

"This tutor sounds great for your son! He has quickly keyed in on the inner workings of his personality, academic strengths and weaknesses, and made a connection. Now that I know what days he is getting tutored, I will remember to make sure both of them have extra materials for the session to reinforce what we are learning in school."

"I wanted to let you know how HAPPY we are with Joe as our tutor for Algebra. He has a genuine interest in our daughter's success, and he is really getting through to her. He is an amazing tutor, and we couldn't be happier. Thanks so much for connecting us to him."

"From the moment we met Ashley and Josh, I knew we were on the right track. They were very professional and knowledgeable about the issues we were facing at school. My son looks forward to his weekly tutoring sessions. Ashley Tutors has taken the time to get to know my son's strengths and the things that motivate him. His grades have improved and he continues to gain confidence. It has been a real blessing."

"Ashley Tutors really identifies the strengths and needs for each student. They also structured a program to fit my child's learning style. From the first session, the tutor was very personable and dedicated to the success of my student."

"My daughter was struggling and failing Algebra 2/Trig when I was referred to Ashley Tutors. Josh Chernikoff came to my house to meet with my daughter and me to gather information. He then quickly set up a tutor for her who was a great match. The tutor, Paul, helped her go from a D to a B this semester and her confidence is much higher too!"

"My 7th grade daughter has gained self-confidence in math since we found her the perfect tutor at Ashley Tutors. About a month or so ago she got her first 100% on a formative math test. Her tutor's patience in trying different approaches until my daughter understands a concept is remarkable, and her tutor's calm demeanor is a key to this success."

"What a gift Josh, our instructor, and the Ashley Tutors approach have been for my daughter the past two years. She has truly grown by leaps and bounds in so many ways. I know that countless kids and parents are going to benefit from your talents and passion for learning. Thank you Josh!"

"My sincere appreciation to Ashley Tutors for pairing my son with Heather. She worked with Trent for almost two years, bringing his grades up to ‘B's’ in every subject. In addition, she helped boost his confidence level and made learning fun for him. One particular strategy she used was his love for basketball. On warm days, they had part of the session outside and she let him take a shot for every correct answer. He, of course, loved it. We feel like we hit the jackpot with Heather. My son is now a prospering 7th grader well on his way to achieving all that we know he is capable of, and we thank Heather and Ashley Tutors for helping us."

"I want to express my appreciation for Ashley Tutors."

"My daughter worked with Abby for an IM Math class. Abby was a wonderful educator and truly had a passion for her role. She was knowledgeable and always prepared to enhance my daughter’s skills in Math. She went above and beyond by using her own materials, which she uses in her own classroom, to help Kylie."

"I know that in the future, if either of my children requires additional help in school, we will call Ashley Tutors."

"Much Thanks!"

"I recommend Ashley Tutors and their tutor Abby without hesitation. Abby has helped my daughters raise their grades and has given them more confidence. She is kind but firm and the girls look forward to their time spent with her. This has been a great experience for us!"

"Laura’s unfailing dedication to our daughter’s comprehension of mathematics provided essential tools for success in understanding the concepts. Laura would remember the date of a test, then call to inquire how our daughter performed. She never condemned her for a less-than-passing grade. She only encouraged her. Though we had Laura for a very short time, our daughter’s grade quickly went from a D to an A."

"After just a few months of working with Amanda, our son's teachers have noticed he is becoming more organized and responsible with his belongings and assignments. In addition, his level of focus and participation in class has increased. We were pleased with his first report card this semester and look forward to continued improvements."

"In addition to promoting my son’s math confidence by being an extraordinary tutor, Ms. Chou promoted his self-confidence by always letting him know how smart he is, even when he was struggling with a concept. I am sure he will carry this with him throughout his lifetime. She reinforced what I have always told him, and I believe that hearing it from her rather than from his Mother made him believe that he truly can do it."
