Chicago Academic Tutoring

Chicago Academic has been a blessing for our family. We have a son in 6th grade and daughter in 11th. CA has been masterful at helping both of our children. My son works with an experienced, engaging specialist who has had great success in

We send our daughter to one of the most expensive private schools in the city. Yet, coming into summer leading to fourth grade we could not find a suitable option for keeping her academically engaged so that she does not slip before the

My son was just accepted to the college of his dreams! The amazing staff and tutors at Chicago Academic have been such a big help in helping my son learn how to study, organize himself and succeed in his classes. The tutors are

Chicago Academic has been a wonderful find. With three kids in 3rd, 7th and 11th grades, I was constantly stressed about whether they would be able to keep up with school, maintain good grades, and generally succeed. This year started off

Had the worst experience with this "company." I call and left several messages. No return call for weeks. By then I had already hired from a different company. Finally got a call back and was asked, "Are you sure you had the right number?"

This tutoring company is amazing! My son, a 'B' student at New Trier, has never done well on standardized tests. I chose CA's ACT test prep program to prepare him for the ACT exam at the recommendation of our college admission consultant.

We just finished using this company for our daughter's ACT prep tutoring over the summer. They are fantastic. Not only did she get the personal service of having the tutor all to herself in our home, but the tutor was exactly the type she

We really needed help. Our 8th grader began struggling with his math and science class in the second half of the year. He is somewhat of a delicate kid who does not respond well to authoritative teacher types. We had trouble finding a good fit for him and were becoming discouraged. Chicago Academic was recommended by a counselor at his school. Gil, the director, came to meet our son and spent quite a while with him. He sent us the perfect tutor, a young energetic scientist with a very friendly and kind demeanor. Our son's grades immediately began to improve. Best of all, he is enjoying these classes again.

Pros: Professional and passionate about students

These tutors are the smartest we have ever hired. Like the other reviewer our three kids were getting very bored of their tutors. We hired teachers from their schools, thinking this was the best option. We were wrong. Our kids tune out here at home just as they do in class. Gill sent us very lively energetic tutors who really know there stuff. Our oldest has seen his ACT score go up in only a few weeks. I can't wait to see the final result when the program is over. They are worth every penny.

Pros: Genius tutors, accommodating and easy to work with

We were in the habit of hiring our daughter's teachers as tutors. To be honest she never quite connect with them. They always seemed like teachers. Gil, at Chicago Academic, came to meet with us and our daughter, got to know her and then sent us fun, young, really smart tutors. One was a Harvard grad with an very friendly personality and the other was actually a biologist. They are great. She has found a new interest in school and is feeling much more confident. They are great. I will use them for years.

Pros: Exciting tutors, good prices.

We were looking for two tutors for our high school junior. We tried independents but were never satisfied that they were serious or smart enough. Then we found this company. The director, Gil, is very serious about education and young students. He really got to know our son and then found the perfect tutors for his personality. I never thought he would enjoy doing his homework so much. He just began the ACT prep program and is already showing improvement. We are thrilled to have discovered Chicago Academic.

Pros: Smart, fun tutors - lots of feedback - lots of attention

From the beginning I was impressed the tutors they sent for my daughter. Not only were they very experienced elementary school teachers, but they had fantastic personalities. She connected with her tutors right away and has been improving ever since. The thing about this company that struck me the most is that they for every one of their customers they also tutor under privileged students in the city. It makes me feel good to know that my money is not only going to help my daughter, but a less fortunate student as well. I have never heard of such a generous company. I highly recommend them

Pros: Convenient. Fun tutors. Socially Conscious.

The best service I have used thus far. They screen their tutors rigorously for education, skill and personality. This was so much easier than using Craigslist or those other listing websites. Here they give you constant support and updates. They are truly passionate about education.

Pros: Serious, professional and expert

I have already scheduled my daughters tutors and the service was outstanding. The director, Gil, and his staff are nice, informative and excited about education. They have tutors for everything even help with college applications. The best part is that they come to you home!

Pros: Come to your home, Genius tutors, Friendly

Could not believe how well each of my son's tutors engaged and interested him. We had two, one for science and one for math. The science tutor was a Nuclear Physicist who looked like a rock star. When his first tutor moved away Gil found us another that fit our son's personality perfectly. I continue to be amazed at their talent pool.

Pros: Fun, cool tutors - unbelievably smart

The staff at CA, lead by the Director, Gil, are extremely serious about education. We have constant communication with them, giving us detailed updates as to how our children are doing. They are accommodating to our ever changing schedule and have always made things as convenient as possible for us. The tutors are unbelievable. They are young geniuses with exciting personalities. My kids think of them a friends more than teachers. We are seeing outstanding results.

Pros: Constant communication, serious about education

Cons: Don't have their own center yet

I am thrilled to see that Chicago Academic has finally rolled out. This new tutoring service has been established by a former scientist with a long history of tutoring students all around Chicago. They have hired a long list of incredibly talented tutors from the best universities in the country. One of the best things about this company is that for every paying student they tutor a low-income student for free. Finally a tutoring company that gets it. I look forward to using them for all of my children.

Pros: Ivy League tutors, in-home service, passionate
