Eureka One-On-One Review

I left three voicemail messages during normal business hours and never received a return phone call. I’m not sure if they are still in business. We are using Compass One-​on-​One tutoring for my daughter’s ACT prep and have been very impressed with the quality and professionalism of their tutors.

Eureka worked with my daughter on her ACT test prep and her Math 2 Subject Test. I was very pleased with her tutors Kris & Elizabeth. They came to our house, always on time, were flexible with our schedule and most importantly knew their stuff. They did an outstanding job preparing my daughter for the ACT. She scored a 33 on her ACT first try (3 points higher than her practice test). Her tutors were very familiar with the ACT and coached her on how to read each question and to avoid common mistakes. This alone was was worth the price of the test prep.
My daughter also worked with Kris to prep her for the Math 2 Subject Test. Before we went to Eureka I purchased a test prep book online and my daughter used it as a study guide before taking her Math 2 Test — her score came back a 680. She was very disappointed and that’s when I realized she needed more than a study guide to help her prepare. After working with Kris her tutor she took her Math 2 Subject Test and her score went up to 770. It is so worth it to work with someone who knows how to prep your child for each specific test.
The staff in the office were great to work with. They checked in with us along the way to make sure we were happy with the test prep and didn’t have any questions. I couldn’t be happier with the results my daughter achieved with help from Eureka.

Eureka basically is a clearinghouse for independent tuturs. It does not do anything other than hook up a tutor with a student. I tried them out for my child’s ISEE prep, and they sent me one college student and one recent grad, neither of whom had any training in how to teach. After a dismal showing on the test, I moved my kid over to Sylvan and they did a great job in preparing her for the next exam.

Great company and office staff that knows how to run programs the right way …

Eureka is amazing! The tutors come to your house, so it works around your schedule, and the entire course is personalized to your specific needs. I was surprised to find that there were so many tricks and techniques I could use to deduce answers to questions I would otherwise have had no clue how to answer. It sounds crazy, but the second time I took the SAT it was actually a little bit fun because I felt like I was able to «beat the test» on certain questions.
It’s important to keep up with the program and do the outside work, which is minimal, but with a little effort this program is incredibly effective. Eureka helped me improve my score by nearly 200 points!

I’ve worked for several SAT tutoring companies over the years and Eureka is by far the best!
Eureka has the industry’s best curriculum and provides the most comprehensive training. Whereas some companies just send their tutors out with a copy of Collegeboard’s «10 Real SAT’s» and have them do arbitrary practice problems, Eureka provides its tutors with complete programs and lessons organized according to each student’s individual skill set.
As a tutor, working one-​on-​one with students is so much more rewarding than teaching a class of 30 kids, most of whom are too busy updating their facebook status on their iphones to learn your name.
I’ve seen dramatic score improvements in all of my students, and since the SAT is so crucial to the insanely competitive college admissions process these days, I really feel like my efforts as a tutor translate into real life successes. I mean, helping a student achieve a score increase of 300 points can mean the difference between an acceptance to UC Riverside and an acceptance to UCLA (Go Bruins!)!
If there is one SAT company to work for, and work with, it’s Eureka Review!
