Thrive Tutor

Dana tutored my sister in chemistry about 2 years ago, and since then she started hiring tutors to help her out. We started using her other tutors last year and are very happy with our experience. Thus far, we’ve used Dana’s services for high school chemistry, physics, Algebra 2, PSAT, and SAT help. She’s been great finding compatible tutors for my sister — she matches not only their skills to our needs, but also makes sure they are personable and patient. For example, when my sister was struggling with Algebra 2, a UCLA math and education major helped us tremendously by really locating what the problem was and fixing it. Dana also was really great at not just focusing on the particular science problem they were working on, but really making sure my sister developed strong study skills and became more confident in her test taking skills. My sister’s grades have really improved after these tutoring sessions, which is why I’m so pleased to write this review!
The thing I like most about working with Dana (aside from that excellent tutors) is the convenience her company affords my family, and the low prices. When we first contacted Dana, she actually came to our house to discuss what we wanted to work on/​exactly what we were looking for — free of charge! The matching process was also really easy — we told Dana what subject area we needed tutoring in, and described any particular goals or problems we wanted to work on. She in turn did some research, responding very quickly with different possible tutors and their biographies for us to choose from. The biographies contained pictures of the tutors, so we kind of got a feel for which tutors would be the best match (for ex — my sister really preferred a female tutor, which ended up working great both times). She then provided contact information between us and the tutor so we could arrange a time and place for tutoring. It’s very convenient.
As far as prices, the payment plan is extremely reasonable compared to other tutoring services. We pay less than half what companies charge in this area. There are also several different tutoring packages to choose from depending on how much time you need. Payment is made online through paypal, which in my opinion is highly convenient.
I highly recommend Dana’s business! We have been extremely satisfied with the service provided!
