My son has worked with Nicole for about 6 months now. My son has tried several in person options but has been unsuccessful. Nicole has been his superhero! Nicole comes a number of times per week as his tutor/ home school teacher. I cannot say enough good things about Nicole. She keeps my son on track, well organized, makes learning fun, engaged, and she is all around a warm hearted person. More...

We've been working with Cindy Stremmel and our son has been making steady progress with reading & word fluency. She's been using Orton-Gilligham reading instruction and including his interests like dinosaurs and Pokémon. We've also seen an increase in his confidence! More...

Our experience with Chicago Tutor has been simply amazing! My child's tutor Cindy is such a great fit. As a mom of a diverse learner, I love the fact that she allows him to warm up through conversation before presenting information pertaining to the lesson. She's very detailed and teaches at a level that is  conducive to him remaining focused. We were able to discuss his prior level of learning and create a plan to move forward. They even discussed trains, which is my child's favorite topic. She even implemented this into his lessons to comply with the specifics of his IEP and individual style of learning. We're  definitely looking forward to his next session. Thank you Chicago Tutor, you guys are the best! More...

CHT did a great job understanding our needs and matching us with the right tutor.  Our tutor is patient and flexible and just the right fit for my family and we saw immediate improvement in math comprehension.  I highly recommend CHT!

I highly recommend Chicago Home Tutor. Sam was extremely responsive and helpful when we started the process, and paired us up with Stephanie who is such an excellent tutor! Our son, who can be reluctant to sit down and do work sometimes, enjoys working with Stephanie. He has made such noticeable strides at school; is more confident, getting A's on math tests, and has been participating in class more. We are looking forward to continuing over the summer to keep his skills sharp and to also work on some other subjects. Thank you! More...

I contacted Chicago Home Tutor this term for my 10yo 5th grade daughter who was clearly behind in her math skills due to covid learning environment that did not work for her. Chicago Home Tutor responded to my initial inquiry super fast, we had a great discussion as to her needs and her personality, and the fact that I believe she may also have some form of learning disability or adhd (undiagnosed but showed same symptoms her her diagnosed brother). Then they quickly identified a couple matches and one recommendation for a tutor and within a matter of days we had our first in-home appointment set up. The match was made so perfectly that my daughter has had great success in strengthening her math skills with her tutor. We will continue through this next school term because Chicago Home Tutor has been of such great benefit I am confident my daughter will not just be fully on top of her grade level math skills but will also be ahead of the game. The pride my daughter expresses in her abilities now makes my heart smile! More...

We have had a wonderful experience with Chicago Home Tutor. Laura and Katie connected us with the perfect tutor for our 13 yr-old daughter when she began to struggle with algebra after a year+ of on-line learning through school. Though all of the tutoring took place on-line, too, Dara got to know our daughter, understand her struggles with algebra, and provided the guidance that allowed her to regain confidence AND pass an important placement exam with flying colors. It meant everything to have a tutor who is truly a grown-up and a professional. More...

My son started with Chicago Home Tutor during the pandemic and was struggling with e-learning. Since starting he is slowly starting to catch back up with what is being taught in school and his grades has begun to turn around. We will continue with tutoring during the summer just so he can be on track for the next school year. More...

Kyla was fantastic. She exceeded all of our expectations with our daughter. She was patient, yet consistent and made her move forward with her learning even when she was not motivated. Our daughter never felt uncomfortable or pressured in a negative way. She helped her create notes to use in class and on assessments during school. Can't say enough wonderful things. This was our first time using a tutor and we needed to really find a special individual as our daughter can be challenging in that she does not speak up or advocate for herself much so the tutor needs to know the right questions to ask and help lead in the correct direction . Kyla was this special person and then some. We hit the tutor lottery with Kyla! I wish we could have her be her personal teacher for every high school class! Thank you. More...

Our experience with Chicago Home Tutors is very positive!  Maureen is very patient with our son and willing to work at his pace. She started helping him in the 12th hour, and in the first month she had to work with him, she helped him pass his high school honors math class with a much improved grade. We are very grateful!  We will continue our work with Chicago Home Tutors, and Maureen will continue tutoring our son through his high school Honors Algebra class. More...

My son has been doing math tutoring through Chicago Home Tutor with Catherine since just before the March COVID shutdown.  Chicago Home Tutor took the time to find a tutor who's skill-set was perfectly matched to our son's meds . She and my son had about 2 sessions in person, and have been working over Zoom ever since.  The transition to Zoom has been really smooth and we we have been so happy working with Catherine.  Our son recently took a math test at school that he did very badly on, and his teacher allows the students to complete test corrections to improve their grade and their understanding of the topics.  Catherine has been going through the corrections with my son.  Since they could't meet in person, I sent her screen shots of the problems he got wrong, and an instruction sheet from his math teacher outlining how they are supposed to complete the corrections.  Not only has Catherine been going through the corrections with my son, but she made Google slides for each problem with all of the elements he needs to include in his corrections.  The slides are amazing, and made the whole process so much less frustrating for son.  In addition, I asked Catherine if she had any suggestions for accommodations to include in my son's 504 plan since his meeting was coming up. She sent me several well though out accommodations that are very tailored to my son and his needs.  They were things I hadn't thought of, and supports that I think will really help HimCatherine has really gone above and beyond for our son. Her help has been such a life-saver, especially as a support during remote learning.  I would highly recommend Chicago Home Tutor. More...

We have been working with Chicago Home Tutor for over 3 years now. First, with my eldest who is now in 6th grade. It has been a game changer for my daughter.  Our current tutor is well liked, knows how to get my daughter to do her best work , great advocate and my eldest child feels comfortable in reaching out for her tutor's help. Thats how at ease my tween feels with her tutor. Even my youngest  liked her older sister's tutor so much that we decided to add tutoring services over the summer for her. Especially after her Kindergarten in person learning experience  was disrupted due to the quarantine and we noticed she was struggling to learn to read  and do math at home. Our tutor saved us from having a frustrating 1st grade beginning. We decided to keep our tutor for our 1st grader as well for the rest of the school year. We have are so happy with our decision!

Thanks to the pandemic my kids are in school only 2.5 hours/day. I was super worried about their academic, social and emotional wellbeing, but thanks to Chicago Home Tutor think they are going to be in better shape than ever. When I knew the likelihood of school wasn't looking good I reached out to every teacher friend and tutoring agency I could find for help. E- learning in the spring was rough for my kids... and being a working mom and I had no plans to return to that craziness. I must have interviewed 35 potential tutors over the course of a few weeks and decided I never wanted to be a school principal. Laura from Chicago Home Tutor sent us a candidate based on our criteria (someone who would challenge our kids yet make school fun). My friend and I interviewed Mr. K via zoom and decided that his experience and personality was almost too good to be true. We decided to move ahead immediately and set up a pod for our 4th grade girls for 3 times/week and a pod for our 2nd grade boys for 2 times/week. The plan was for them to be enriched by the tutor during these times and go to school in the afternoons. I loved Laura's flexibility that she realized the school schedule is changing so much that she found us a tutor that's available for mornings now, but well aware that we will need him for a different part of the day if/when we end up in full e-learning.We just finished our first week with Mr. K and he's even better than he came off in the interview (if possible). Both my son and daughter (and their friends) are so engaged that they barely want to stop to eat lunch at the end of the long morning. He has such creative and fun ways of teaching that I know that even if we end up with full time e-learning they'll be in great shape.I've referred many others to Chicago Home Tutor in the past weeks and so many have mentioned they've had similar experiences. I hope Mr. K is with us for a long time (perhaps even post pandemic), but if I need another tutor in the future or end up even needing one for my pre-k son Laura will be the first call I make.

My son has been struggling with dyslexia and ADHD his entire life. We had an in home tutor for many years and then she moved away.  Enter Chicago Home Tutor (who was recommended through a friend). Colin, who is in 8th grade and hates school, absolutely LOVES Mia. She is so relatable.  She doesn't make the kids feel like they are going to her for "help".  She makes them feel like she is a support and they CAN do the work.  In the past, with other tutors, Colin would do anything to get out of the session.  With Mia, he has never skipped a session and more importantly asks if he gets to meet with Mia this week.  They have a great relationship and I'm excited to work with her through his HS years.
