"I feel like I have definitely improved in my test taking skills. I have taken SAT classes previously and none of them was as effective as a one on one tutor. It helps to work with someone who knows exactly what she is talking about everytime I have a question. It is also relieving to know that she will do anything in her power to help my learn and understand the material".
"I like how she goes through problems step by step if you do not understand how to do the problems. She will make sure you understand the material before moving on to the next problem. She is very patient and is willing to do her best to help you." Beaver Country Day School 11th Grader, SAT preparation
" Elena was fabulous. We found that her style was very supportive and involved. She made herself very available in a short space of time for our daughter and was able to provide outstanding tutoring. She rapidly assessed our daughter's needs and focused on areas that required growth. I have no doubt that Elena's work made a difference. We like her general style and manner. She made an excellent connection with our daughter who felt very supported by Elena and very comfortable with her. We felt that a good match with a tutor was an essential prerequisite for a successful tutoring experience. "Newton, Elana Weiner, parent , SSAT preparation, SAT preparation, general tutoring
"The overall experience was great. I dobt that many kids enjoying tutoring and doing math during the summer but in all honesty I never once dreaded going to tutoring."
"By far one of the best aspects of my tutoring experience was the weekly SAT practice tests. I certainly think that homework and hard work was worth it because I brought up my math scores by 150 points!!!" Hannah, 12th Grader, SAT preparation
"The tutoring sessions were very helpful. They were low-stress but effective. I liked feeling comfortable to ask any questions that I had. The tutoring is highly personalized and great for a student at any level of math. "Katherin, 11th Grader,Newton North, SAT preparation
"You're were very helpful and caught on quickly to the places where I was having the most problems. You never got angry having to explain something to me more than once." " I liked most that you were very patient with me and never made me feel bad about not understanding something.Sarah, 11th Grader, SAT preparation.
Ms. Belinkaia is a great teacher, very nice and also very patient. I enjoyed my classes with her very much. The classes were very informative, and Ms. Belinkaia clarified difficult aspects of Math very simply. Brookline High School, 9th Grader, Math Tutoring, Honors class.
Our overall experience was great. Madyson enjoyed the sessions. As a parent I feel that the sessions were helpful. Elena assessed Madyson's needs, strengths and areas for improvement all while moving towards the goal of improving her ISEE test score. Elena did a wonderful job of building on Madyson's strengths and explaining the problems that Madyson had questions on."

" I thought it was really helpful, even if I may have struggled in the beginning. When I actually got to the SATs, I found that the math section was a lot easier than when I had taken it the first time without the tutoring; obviously, this made me very happy."11th Grader, SAT preparation.
" Elena helped our daughter improve her math SAT score substantially(100 points). She was flexible with scheduling and sensitive and supportive of our daughter's situation. "Elizabeth, Parent of 11thGrader, Newton North High School, SAT preparation.
"Both my kids benefited from Elena's classes as it helped them solidify their math basics, which was important for their confidence in their ability to answer the test questions. My daugther, who worked with Elena for a couple of months, got near-perfect scores. My son, who worked with Elena for a couple of weeks, performed very well on all the material he worked on. I wish he had more time to work on the rest of the material. We liked the systematic way of presenting the study material. I think Elena was also able to quickly identify the areas that the kids needed to focus on."Jinane,Parent of 8th and 5th Graders, SSAT and ISEE preparation.
