Brainstorm has provided consistent stellar services. Their tutors are reliable and flexible. They did not skip a beat when everything shut down. We originally started with remote tutoring sessions and it continues consistently. Finding the right tutor the key to a successful academic experience.
Our daughter’s tutoring has aided her so much in her academics. She has really clicked with her tutor and her self esteem has been going up. We are so excited to start test prep. Alex is great to work with and really understood and matched what was needed
Fantastic services!! We had Lisa as a tutor, she was very knowledgeable and encouraging. She never let us give up.
Brainstorm, has helped me get into my dream college, has helped me out through my first semester at NJCU, all of the staff is professional, amazing and excellent communicators. My tutor jen checked in on me while I was doing midterms/finals and went above and beyond. Thank you Brainstorm for all your support!!!
Valerie is amazing with our kids and has really helped us during this pandemic, she Is really kind and engaging with the kids in math and reading . Our kids always look forward to working with her and I am really impressed with this organization.
We needed someone competent to help our son through Algebra 1. Brain Storm connected us with Connor. From day one Connor took on my challenging young student and turned him into a confident young man. It was extremely satisfying to watch him blossom and gain the knowledge he needed to master Algebra 1. He was failing at school but by the end of the course he was exceeding all of my expectations. It was a wonderful feeling. After each session I was able to go over Connor’s notes regarding his time with my son. I would highly recommend Brain Storm to my friends and family!
In terms of teaching what can sometimes be boring information to students, this place does it best. Engaging us in fun activities which help us to not only retain the current information presented to us but want us to know more. I left feeling much more confident about the ACT then when I began. I have a full arsenal of test taking strategies and am eager for test day. I will definitely be coming back. Overall great place
Highly recommend! My daughter was taking her first ACT and needed tutors to get her prepared. Brainstorm matched her with excellent tutors and she did amazing! Staff was professional and extremely responsive!
I used Scott for my ACT and college prep during my junior year of high school and he was able to bring up my composite score by 8 points! Overall amazing staff and they try their hardest to make sure you succeed. A great experience with Scott and his team and they made my junior year of high school a lot easier than it would have been on my own. I recommend Brainstorm to all of my friends when they ask me how I got the test scores I needed for college!!
My daughter was struggling in her high school math class, and Brainstorm was recommended to her by a friend, who had been working with a tutor in math and had found it tremendously helpful. We signed up and were hoping to get the same tutor for my daughter. However, due to scheduling difficulties on our end, we were matched with a different instructor. He turned out to be fantastic as well! Within weeks of working with the Brainstorm tutor, my daughters grades went from Cs to As, and she has maintained those grades since then. In the past few months, John Anthony has not only helped my daughter better understand the math content, he has also helped her develop test-taking strategies to think through difficult problems and avoid making careless errors. Working with such a knowledgeable tutor and seeing such immediate results has been amazing, and we would highly recommend Brainstorm to anyone looking for extra support and learning.
My experience with Brainstorm has been nothing but enjoyable and successful. I have worked with Brainstorm tutors since middle school, then moved on to start SAT prep with them. By working with Lisa I was able to improve my SAT score by over 300 points!! Brainstorm became more than a tutoring center to me; it was a comfortable, judgement-free, and fun environment where I was able to learn and grow as a student. My time spent at Brainstorm has come to a close, and I am thankful to everyone at Brainstorm for all they have enabled me to achieve. It has truly been a pleasure. I would highly suggest Brainstorm for all your tutoring needs.
BrainStorm helped me immensely with my time pressing application to NYU graduate school. The BrainStorm team provided truly excellent assistance with all aspects of my application process including the essay, resume, and even tips on requesting a letter of recommendation from my professors. I felt comfortable reaching out and asking for advice. Thanks to all of the timely and outstanding help, I have successfully been admitted to NYU graduate school! I also have gained many useful skills along the way, such as various wonderful ways to enhance my resume and essays. Even my younger brother, who used to struggle with schoolwork, has greatly improved his academic skills and overall confidence in school ever since he began attending BrainStorm. Really grateful for all that BrainStorm does!
Brainstorm’s SAT/ACT boot camp helped me tremendously in my preparation for the ACT. The class was very enjoyable and taught me test day strategies and techniques. These strategies have made me feel more confident for my test coming up in December. I highly recommend Brainstorm tutoring if you are looking for improvement in your scores.
My children both used Brainstorm services in preparing for the ACT and SAT and improved their scores. One child used a one to one tutor while the other had a few sessions with the tutor but also used a month membership to BLAST prior to the test. Scores improved by 5 points on the ACT and over 300 points on the SAT. The staff was always helpful, knew my children, and kept me informed of their progress.
Alex (college application) and Christine (FAFSA/CSS/financial aid advising) were extremely helpful to my daughter and myself - they made what can be a very stressful process much less nerve racking! They both provided wonderful advice and guidance and answered any and all questions without hesitation.
Great experience at BrainStorm. My son Ethan was already a high performer but we knew he could get close to perfect score with preparation. Rather than provide a cookie cutter solution by having him join the prep classes, BrainStorm recommended that they matchmake him with a one-on-one tutor for a limited number of sessions. This worked beautifully, our tutor Larry was wonderful and Ethan went from 1450 on PSAT to 1580 on the SAT! Thank you BrainStorm!
Brainstorm was a great experience. I did the 4 day course for ACT prep and can say that I learned more there than I ever would have in class or reading books. Their strategies helped improve my scores significantly from when I first started studying. The staff is really helpful and Scott is an awesome guy.
Brainstorm is like an amazing family. Everyone of the tutors aided me in my success throughout high school! Scott and Ashley created the amazing BrainStorm family who cover a wide range of subjects from school, to standardized tests, to the college application process. BrainStorm truly cares about the welfare of each student and are some of the most amazing people I have ever met. Thank you Scott, Ashely, and the whole BrainStorm family!
Brainstorm gives you the opportunity to study the educational mechanics that lead to success, while maintaining a fun environment. I have come here for both SAT and school assistance. The tutors have been nothing but helpful and put all their efforts into helping you succeed. They also help prepare you for the tenuous college application process. These individuals become part of your daily life and assist you in every way possible.
The SAT summer boot camp at Brainstorm was great. My score improved and I learned many tips and tricks that a classic SAT book simply couldnt teach. Highly recommend!!
Brainstorm was amazing and helped me so much on the test day. It helped with strategies, how to study and practice for the test and preparation on test day. I also had an outstanding experience in class.
I am very satisfied with BrainStorm. I love BrainStorm. All my grades have gone up. Brainstorm is the best place for all your tutoring needs
We started using Brainstorm Tutoring at the beginning of the school year and it has been fantastic! After my initial conversation with the Brainstorm office, a match was made for us within 24 hours. It was so easy...the tutors are extremely flexible & accommodating...and it has truly been a lifesaver! Heba and Kristen are outstanding tutors and have made all the difference in giving my daughter the additional support that she needs to succeed.
I did the week long conquer camp and it was absolutely worth every penny. I learned so much about the SAT and ACT. Not only did I learn and review many concepts that would be on the tests, but ways to ensure my performance is the best it can be. Scott Doty is so wise and was an amazing instructor. I will hopefully be back at Brainstorm soon!
I have Heba as a tutor, in chemistry and she is wonderful! She really helps me understand topics that confuse me in class, and also helps with review before tests and quizzes. Love her, and love Brainstorm! :)
We couldnt be happier with our experience at BrainStorm tutoring! They really listen to your needs and matched my son up with an ACT tutor that was the perfect fit for him. Emeka is a highly intelligent and relatable young man who helped my son go up 5 points from the February test to the April test. Emeka and BrainStorm Tutoring are topnotch and I highly recommend them to help bring your student up to that next level!
During the week long ACT/SAT prep class, I learned so much about the tests themselves, and the strategies. The center is very energetic as well as conducive for learning! Through this program, I gained so much confidence. Thank you!
I took the conquer camp and it was extremely helpful, everyone is incredibly kind and they seem like they genuinely want to be there / they genuinely want you to do well. Super helpful. :))
Brainstorm was a life saver. They brought my English section up 12 points and reading up 10. I couldn’t have done it without them. Scott worked closely with me to help find the strategy best for me.
I used BrainStorms one-week SAT Conquer Camp after my sophomore year of high school. Their tutors really helped me feel prepared for the exam after having only studied on my own for a few weeks. They were super fun to work with and gave me the tools to be able to study much more effectively on my own after the one-week session. I scored 200 points higher than my practice exams after using BrainStorm, and another 100 points higher the second time I took the exam after continuing to review their study points.
We were so thrilled with the tutoring we received at brainstorm. My sons score went up over 200 points with the help from Michael and Jen.Looking forward to working with them again.
I took one of their summer test prep classes, and found it extremely helpful in starting my preparation for the SAT. Great for students at all levels of test preparedness. As a student, I highly recommend their programs.
Best test prep place out there. I had tons of fun and I now know how to be a better test taker. Tell your friends!
I had Rami as a tutoring since the beginning of the school year in math. He helped me a lot and helped me understand math much more. I also had Emily helping me study for my TACHS test and it was really helpful. Her helping me gave me better results on the tests
Great place to be. All of the tutors are awesome people and very helpful. They are able to help with everything from SAT/ACT to simple math problems.
Concord camp here has helped me prepare for the upcoming SAT and ACT this year. Scott is very good when it comes to knowing whats important for these tests.
Great SAT/ACT prep and strategies for test taking, in addition to advice regarding college applications. Very nice staff. Would recomend to friends.
Much more fun than I thought it would be. Learned a ton of helpful things to help with my tests and the rest of my school year. I feel much more prepared with my college applications and test taking after this corse. Would recommend to a friend.
Learned a lot that I can use on the test and even in the classroom. Much more confident continuing on to take the test! Thank you
Really helpful tutoring, helped me prepare for the upcoming SAT and helped me with my high school physics class. Recommend for all academic subjects.
The environment at brainstorm is very welcoming. I learned a lot of helpful strategies for test taking. Highly recommended for students.
Way more engaging than regular school and really helped me make the right choice on whether to take the SAT or ACT.
I had a great experience at the Brainstorm SAT program! It was really helpful and I learned a lot of useful methods for test taking- totally recommend.
Had an awesome time!! Learned different strategies regarding how to view the SAT and ACT. The instructor was very nice. Highly recommend!!
I took an SAT class this summer with Scott. I learned so much valuable information. The class was fun and interactive.
I called to ask about their program. Amy told me to send my child in to take a practice test on either Saturday or Sunday at 8 am (Be there by 7:50 to get his name in the system.) We arrived at 7:45 and waited. Other students arrived after us, but no one from the company showed up until 8 am. Then a young girl came in. Did not apologize for being late. Did not welcome any of us. She walked in the locked internal door. Turned on lights and set herself up. As she opened her computer, she looked at me, first in line and I said, My son is here to take the ACT test. hes not in the system yet. I handed her my credit card. She said, We only take cash or check. I said, No one told me that. I dont carry my checkbook and needed an ATM to get cash, but I was overwhelmed with the 8 am deadline so I said, And you were late to work. She looked up at me and said, Well, I just work here on the weekends. Still no apology. Still no solution to the problem of cash only I said good bye and wished good luck to everyone behind me waiting to take an 8 am simulated test and now its after 8 am. Before leaving, I told her, You are not doing your job if you are late to work on the weekends. If I was late to work, I would be fired. No apology. Nothing! It cant be that good a tutoring course if the test moderator is late to the test. My son and I walked outside and and we saw two banks where I could have withdrawn cash, but I just thought, wow, she did not even say. Fill out this form and when you come back to pick him up, you can pay for the test with cash or check or why dont you take a minute to go to an ATM and get cash. But no solutions....just an empty stare in her eyes that said she hated her job. Im glad we walked out.
It was fun, engaging, and I learned a lot of useful math and grammar tips. The course helped me prepare for the sat/act.
I owe all my High School success to BrainStrom. With the dedicated and endless help from the fun loving, highly educated, and determined staff at the center, I was able to tackle the ACTs, college application process as well as any subject in school with ease and confidence. Thank you so much to Scott, Ashley, and the entire BrainStorm staff. I owe it all to you guys!
I took the conquer camp and it was so helpful in preparing me to take the SAT and ACT. Brainstorm is a great program and thanks to them I feel much more confident going into the test.
Brainstorms facility is really nice and Ive learned a lot in the boot camp. The tutors were great. STORM IT!!
I recently completely the conquer course with Scott and it helped so much. Definitely going to be sticking with this place for help during the school year
Brainstorm is an exquisite tutoring center, with wonderful tutors and a great learning atmosphere. I ensure that you will enjoy every second of your time at brainstorm, and will be more than happy with your results!
Team Doty! I learned many new and useful test taking strategies. I would recommend Brainstorm Tutoring to everyone.
The Tutors during the BLAST program were extremely inexpensive ($10 per hour) and very very helpful.Last year, they helped bring my GPA from a 2.9 to a 3.9 : definitely recommended to all students.
Rami was a great tutor and helped me a lot with my math score and all the other sections too!
Brainstorms tutoring prepared me to nail the SAT. Money well spent!
Well, it seems that the timeliness of the staff has not improved. I too arrived as I was told this morning at 7:45 and stood outside for 15 minutes in the freezing cold waiting for someone to open the door. Not a good start. I had my check for $48 dollars made out in advance and handed it in promptly. I left my daughter to take the hybrid SAT/ACT test. She texted me during her break that the test in fact cost 89 dollars!!!!!!! No where on the website does it say that. It says test simulations for SAT/ACT cost 48 dollars. I even called weeks ahead and spoke at length about the test, what I needed to do and how I may follow up afterwards and was never told this dollar amount. I would have NEVER signed up there if I had known. (Kaplan offers the hybrid in several area high schools for free.) When I explained to the staff that I made a call, received an email and reviewed the website several times and not once was there a mention of a different rate for the hybrid test, I was basically told, Too bad. Knowing that my daughters scores would not be released without full payment, I paid the difference and left. Certainly will NOT be back. As an educator in a local high school I will also make sure I share this experience with my colleagues and students. So disappointed as your services came highly recommended from a neighbor.
Class was super helpful. I learned a lot about the college process and learned new techniques to help me with the SAT/ACT. Would recommend.
Brainstorm was a great way to prep for the ACT/SATs. The classes were interesting and I learned a lot.
I’ve had Rami as a tutor for the past 3 months and he’s helped me increase my ACT section scores multiple points, as well as my SAT Physics, Math 1, Math 2, and US History scores. The tutors I’ve had from Brainstorm are extremely flexible with their scheduling, and are thoroughly knowledgeable in their subject areas.
Great company! I was using their services on multiple occasions for both of my kids.Pamela is the best!!!
Brainstorm is a great tutoring center that helped me a lot with ACT/SAT work.
This course helped prepare me more for the SAT in a way that a private tutor wouldnt be able to.
Very helpful and I learned a lot of valuable information that is going to help me a lot on the test!
Fun and I learned a lot. The company is great and I had a great experience.
Very good and useful tips for SAT and ACT Prep. Highly recommended
I took a SAT class. It really helped prepare me for the test.
Very good place and great to learn from :) i love scott. 😋💪🏼✅
I used BrainStorms private tutoring and Conquer Camp services to prepare for the SAT during my junior year of high school. With the help of BrainStorms qualified, charismatic tutors, I improved my score by over 500 points. The tutors genuinely care, not only about the students academic achievement, but also about their overall wellbeing. Scott Dotys four-day SAT/ACT Conquer Camp provided me with a solid foundation to begin my test preparation for the year to follow. He helped students understand, rather than memorize, key grammatical and mathematical concepts. Although I only used BrainStorm for test prep, the material and skills I learned made me successful for the duration of high school and first year of college. Thank you, BrainStorm!
Brainstorm is awesome! They helped me raise my score to what I was shooting for and helped build up my comment!
This class really helped me prepare for the big tests ahead of me.
Regarding Kristne DonelanKristen tutored my daughter, Samantha, for the past school year and she was wonderful! Samantha was in advanced math this year and although she understood much of the information, she felt she needed Kristen for reassurance. Kristen totally got this and was always there for my daughter. In fact, Kristen would reach out to me when there was a big test coming (ie: mid-term) and make sure she scheduled Samantha in. Kristen knows her stuff, she was always on time and shes just a really pleasant person. Were looking forward to seeing her in the fall for Algebra II.Sincerely,Leslie Stollman
The conquer camp was a lot of fun and helped a lot to prepare for the SAT and ACT
