The Best & Most Effective Tutoring Experience Ever!

"We’ve been working with Testing Mom tutors this year to help us homeschool our children due to the pandemic. What an amazing experience it has been for all of us! The tutoring team at Testingmom is world class. I have three children. The youngest, an 8 year old boy, is working with Maddy in Math. He was “adequate” in math according to his school. However, in just seven months, they have completed several 2nd and 3rd grade math textbooks, taking several assessments and tests along the way to ensure he has mastered the material. He is now on track to start 4th grade math! Not only is our son thriving academically, he looks forward to his sessions with Maddy. Maddy’s encouragement and patience has worked wonders for our son. She has a positive demeanor and constantly tells the child what she sees that is the best in him. This encourages him to want to become even better. We see this as a sign of an excellent teacher. In another example, our son, like many boys his age, is always on the go and likes to move. Maddy has adjusted the lessons to include 5-minute active breaks with basketballs, balloons, yo-yos, even chess and coding competitions between herself and my son. She has shown that she truly understands how to make little boys engage.
The tutors our son has been working with, Kara for ELA and Sharon for reading, are no less amazing. Both have years of experience as outstanding teachers. My son started reading when he was in the middle of 1st grade. So, he started this school year probably 6-8 months behind the average 2nd grade reader. However, in just 7 months, now in April, he is reading and comprehending books at the 3rd grade level – and he is enjoying himself! Both Kara and Sharon are fun, super nice, and so thorough in tackling the areas that are needed for improvement. They fix any gaps that your child may have. I am a physician by profession, but both Kara and Sharon really have my utmost respect as I have seen firsthand how they break down the process of reading and learning to help the child with everything needed to be successful.
I highly recommend the Testing Mom tutoring program for any child who needs to improve their academic skills or fill in any ability gaps they have. These tutors have given our children the tools, confidence, and skills to be successful for their future. We couldn’t be happier with the progress our children have made! Thank you so much Testing Mom!!"

Wish I’d Found You Sooner!

"I happened to find Testing Mom when I was desperately searching for resources to help my daughter with G&T/CogAT testing in the Houston area for 3rd grade. I signed up for the online content and the tutoring program via Zoom. It was absolutely great! My daughter loved the online tutoring experience and specifically loved her teacher Ms. Bryanna. She was constantly encouraged in her strong areas and more attention was directed to strengthen her weaker areas, such as time management. She ended up scoring in the 99th percentile in all areas! They made it seem so easy. Thank you, Ms. Bryanna! Customer service was great as well. I just wish I had found them sooner."

Highly Recommended

"Excellent site and great tutoring service available. I have used Testing Mom many times, not only for test prep but also to enrich beyond the classroom. Our tutor, Jill, was fantastic and highly qualified, not to mention excellent and patient with kids. She quickly identified my children’s academic strengths and weaknesses so we could make every session count for CogAT prep. My children scored very high on the test—enough to qualify them both for gifted classes. Highly recommend!"

He Qualified!

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your good work coaching Chris for the CogAT. He tested two weeks ago, and we just got his results — his composite VQN is 96th percentile with an age stanine of 9. This qualifies him for a lottery in our school district’s GATE program (apparently, we have a lot of gifted kids in the Bay Area), so we have a fighting chance at a good program! :-) Your coaching helped him prepare and stay calm during the test."

98% on CogAT

"My daughter took the small group CogAT test prep for grades 6-8 as a rising 6th grader. The instructor, Kara, was energetic, friendly, likable, and related to kids this age. She was knowledgeable and communicated clearly. She got the children to engage and interact. The example questions used during class seemed to be a good level of difficulty and the way she walked them through discussions about how to figure out each type of question was extremely helpful. I also liked that additional practice questions were sent each day so that my daughter could work the problems at her own pace without the class discussion. This helped to better evaluate how well she understood the concepts independently. This clearly defined which types of questions would be most beneficial for continued practice."

Your Teachers are Excellent!

"An excellent instructor! Maddy is amazing! With my 8-year-old boy, she keeps him engaged and encourages and motivates him to learn and do his best. She really sees the best in her students and encourages them to become even better. He loves his sessions with her and has improved tremendously. He has become stronger in math because of his time with Maddy. We are lucky to have her teaching our son. We are extremely thankful to Testingmom.com for finding such an excellent and highly qualified tutor who really cares about her students."

Thank God for Our Teacher

"Maddy is one of the best teachers I could have asked for. She is extremely dedicated to her kids. She worked amazingly with my daughter to the extent that my daughter used to wait for her class with Maddy. In addition, her experience in teaching shows. She goes beyond her job and gives good advice. I thank God that we were lucky enough to have her."

99th Percentile and GOT IN!

"I highly recommend Testing Mom to assist you and your child in preparation for a gifted & talented exam. We joined Testingmom.com in order to have access to practice questions and webinars to become familiar with the process. We were NOT disappointed. We quickly realized that this was a treasure trove! There are countless practice questions for all the different exams along with a vast array of insightful webinars by The Testing Mom, Karen Quinn. The staff is friendly and very quick to respond to any questions that I or my husband have. They also offer small group or 1-1 tutoring. My 6-year-old daughter loved and still misses her tutor. Her tutor was so patient and always found a way to engage her each and every session. Thanks to Testingmom.com, my daughter scored in the 99th percentile and was accepted to the gifted & talented program in her school district!"
