"Tom Pellegrino is amazing and we consider him part of the family after 4 years tutoring our son. He is simply exceptional. Kate tutored our son for this past year and she is fantastic. Academic Advantage has top notch teachers and we could not be more fortunate to have found your services."
"I wanted to send a note over to advise how grateful we are to be working with Susan Castellone. She reached out to me first to discuss my daughter and then made a quick connection with her last week. I was so happy to see how much work they did yesterday from their session and I look forward to seeing my daughter succeed with the help of Susan! This has been a long road for us and finally she has a chance to shine again."
"Robyn [tutored my son] for his second attempt at the Math SAT. He just received his score and did much better. His first Math SAT score was a 480, and on this most recent test he received a score of 560!"
"I can not express the gratitude I feel towards what you and your tutors do to bring about success for students. When I saw my son in February, his self-esteem plummeting, his grades following in that same path, and his remarks about how dumb he is and how 'I will never graduate' coming from him was to say the least... heart-breaking. When Chris started working with Nathan he always encouraged him, made him see and think about something in a different way, and never gave up on him. You have an incredible gift in this tutor. The smile [on his face at graduation], and the diploma, was through your dedication."
"I wanted to let you know that I was accepted into the honors program at Boston College! Thank you so much for all of your help with the college process."
"When I picked up my daughter today, she had a smile on her face. Thank you! Victoria was helped immensely with [your tutors'] expert tutelage! I would highly recommend Academic Advantage and specifically Annie and Marsha to any parent whose child is struggling with any subject. Rick is a strong advocate for all students and teachers in Rhode Island and is an asset to us all. The staff is professional and courtious...I would highly recommend and utilize their services again!"
"My son Nick never would have made it through Spanish had it not been for the terrific tutoring. I will gladly recommend Academic Advantage to others!"
"Marsha was great with my daughter. She provided the help my daughter needed with homework assignments each week and focused on improving her academic performance. My daughter struggles with a learning disorder, but Marsha was honest with me and easy for my daughter to work with... Most importantly, my daughter didn't mind going to her weekly sessions. Thank you!"
"Thank you for arranging tutoring via Skype for my son at Penn State! He and the tutor used it many times with GREAT success!"
"Thank you for helping my children improve their literacy skills. What progress they made, thanks to you!"
"I wanted to let you know that my daughter got an academic scholarship for Bay View. From what I understand, they don't give many scholarships out and it will help us immensely. I want to thank you and your wonderful tutors for helping [my daughter] on her academic journey in life. Your tutors have the love of learning and reinforce that love while tutoring."
"Great response time when needed last minute for tests."
"I am very happy to be a part of Academic Advantage. I just can't wait to tell the story about the confidence you have given me since I began tutoring through your service. All I want to say is thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
"We absolutely adore Corinne. She was very good with my son...firm yet nurturing as his self esteem and self confidence were at a particularly low point due to poor academic performance."
"Tiffany was great and my daughter really connected with her. She was always patient and kind. Rick, thank you for always responding so quickly and thoroughly to all my questions and concerns."
"Terry was very accommodating and very helpful to us. We did not need his services for very long but would definitely call again if we need tutoring services."
"Thank you for all you did...My son would not have graduated from HS if not for Academic Advantage."
"We had a very positive experience with Academic Advantage. They worked with our crazy schedule well. My child had a good match with his tutor. It was worth the money."
"Great experience over the last 18 months or so - Brian's grades went up, he learned to be more organized (which was specifically something the tutor(s) worked on with him). As a student with a very late diagnosis of ADD (mid-junior year) the skills the tutors worked on with him will be something he can carry forward to college."
"Jonathon loved Colin. He can't believe how much he understood things once Colin explained them. Another home run for your tutors!!! We are 4 for 4!!! I am so pleased with your company and have referred others to you...thanks again!!!"
"...His math average going into the final exam is 84. That is quite a turnaround. I would like to thank you for your help!" "You have been a delight to work with (punctual and thorough) and you really built [my daughter's] confidence level in Algebra II...Hoping we can work together again in the future."
"My son's tutor was terrific. She was patient and gave my son the help that he really needed. She was always willing to see him for extra sessions and on weekends if he needed help with a project or studying. Thank you so much, it really made a difference."
"The tutor you chose for my son is WONDERFUL!! She's smart, bright and personable. He liked her instantly! She's patient and has a full understanding of ADHD that is so important to my son's education! We will continue to use Academic Advantage and hopefully [the tutor] as well!!"
"The service that we received was excellent...Academic Advantage provided us with an evaluation from a reading specialist that helped pinpoint the areas that needed help and was given to the tutor to help provide better services. Due to this help, our daughter had a more productive year in school and ended up in one of the highest reading groups in her class."
"As a parent of a teenager who looks at me like I have 3 heads regardless of what I say it was refreshing to have someone else he could relate to. Our tutor not only took the time to relate to my son, she was able to "teach" him in a way he could understand and then apply. His Algebra grade has gone from a D to a B-."
"When I started with you guys, I expected my 'F' student to become a 'D' student. Now I have a 'B' student looking to become an 'A' student!"
"I would definitely use their services again for my other children. Extremely caring and supportive management and tutors, both geared towards your child succeeding."
"I wish I had known about it [Academic Advantage] earlier in the year! I will definitely use the service again in the future."
"Rick really cares about the students he works with. He is always looking for the right fit for each student. Academic Advantage has a great team of tutors that can assist students with individual SAT preparation and regular classwork. I would highly recommend Academic Advantage...it was very helpful for both of my children!"
"I just wanted to inform you that I have gotten into Curry, Endicott, New England College and Roger Williams. Thank you for all your help in getting me this far."
"The staff of Academic Advantage is professional and courteous...I would highly recommend and utilize their services again."
"A wonderful investment in my son's education. He has grown to love school, a characteristic he never displayed before."
