    Both the student services team and the tutors at North Ave Education are enthusiastically dedicated to their student’s success. The study lounge is a great distraction-free location to study (snacks included)! My experience far exceeded my already high expectations and I would highly recommend North Ave Education!

    Exorbitant cost with unimpressive methodology. I was pretty desperate for someone to "show me the way" with respect to GRE prep. ... They have a nonrefundable policy, so even if you decide their tutoring is not worth $150 an hour, they will not let you cancel and refund upcoming sessions, including weeks in advance ones.

    I cannot say enough about the positive experience my daughter had preparing for a retake of the ACT exam with North Avenue Education. ... Natalia was prepared for each session and each session was focused. My daughter could tell it was worth every minute. We recently received her new ACT score...a 5 point gain!

    My two daughters had very limited testing experience coming from Montessori Schools and scored accordingly on their first exposure to the SSAT. I then brought them into Northwest Academy. Scott and his team, in a short two month period, taught them how to utilize their abilities to maximize their potential. We couldn't have been more pleased with their methodical approach and outstanding execution. We will certainly be back when it's time for the SAT.

    Very, very helpful. I highly recommend Scott for his thorough, careful tutoring. He does a great job of focusing on areas that need improvement, and is encouraging and challenging throughout. Worthwhile.
