My kids love it! And so do my husband and I!

I have a four year old, a seven year old, an eleven year old, and a fourteen year old all attending Score. They absolutely love it. At first, my husband and I were skeptical - finding affordable tutoring is not exactly easy. Score is affordable, even for four kids! They make my life as a parent extremely easy. Its a tutoring center that develops a love of learning in a fun yet controlled environment. The student to teacher ratio is never more then 5-1, which I love.

My four year old is enrolled in their Early Reading Program, which she absolutely loves. She gets books that coorelate to what she's learned and brings them home to read to my husband and I. This is a girl who didn't know her ABCs 3 months ago. She also works on math.

My seven year old is a great student, but we wanted to give him an enrichment opportunity. The schools in this area are so difficult, we want to be sure that he's in top classes next year. He gets challenged there, so despite him being ahead in school, he is learning a ton at Score. He works on Spelling, Math, and Reading.

My 11 year old was having some real issues with math, so we decided to go with their Personal Academic Tutoring (PAT) program. Its course specific, so she spends the entire time working on math. They gave her a full assessment to judge her strengths and weaknesses, so they had a good starting spot. They shared the results with my husband and I - we didn't know about some of these weaknesses! After 45 hours of instruction, she made 1.8 YEARS progress. We're so relieved!

The fourteen year old is going to high school next year, and so we want to make sure she's ready for that. She's also in the PAT program, doing their Writing program. Its amazing how quickly her writing has turned around in such a short period of time.

I'm very grateful to Score. They give me a break as a parent - not only do I have to spend hours going over academics with each child, I also get a daily break!
