TESTIMONIALS

From a student at Spanish River High School:

            The Student Den has helped me improve a lot in school. By having a study buddy, my work has gotten a lot better. Testing has gotten easier for me because now I understand what I’m learning. The environment in the Student Den is very warm, quiet, and inviting, which makes it easier to get my work done. The Student Den is my second home, and it has become another family to me.

From a parent in Boca Raton:

             It's my pleasure to introduce and recommend Barton Charlip. For the past four years he has acted as coach/mentor to my daughter, Lauren. Barton tutored her in her math honors courses and eventually in her AP courses. As tutor he was superb, having the ability to explain, encourage and demand more while always being Lauren’s staunchest supporter.

Barton did not limit his assistance to math. He was interested in all aspects of her schoolwork and was particularly helpful and essential with the college planning, testing, and application process. We so valued his input that we asked him to accompany Lauren as she visited colleges in her junior year.

Barton has been invaluable as a mentor. His values, his morals and his work ethic served as a shining example for both our daughter and son. My husband and I can enthusiastically recommend Mr. Charlip as tutor, mentor and friend.

From a study buddy at Spanish River High School:

            As a study buddy, I have seen kids improve so much. The Student Den is a really great environment for students to get their work done. Having another student helping them keeps students motivated and on task. Students are able to capture more from other students, because they learn study skills from someone who has been there before. That is what a study buddy is for, and from my own experience, I have seen kids grow into mature and independent students.

From a student:

            I want to thank you and Cohen very much for everything you have done. Without your help, I would have been a complete failure on the standardized tests. We will see what happens with my scores next week. I will keep in touch. Thank you again.

-Callie

From a student at Boston University:

            Barton—thank you so much for all of your help! I don’t know how you did it, but you got me to get organized. I wouldn’t have gotten through college applications without you, not to mention that welcome bump in my math scores. And now, four years later, I find I have to thank you again for helping me with the GRE’s. Considering I haven’t taken a math class in years, you have really helped me get back into it. And can you believe it, I don’t think I’ll look like an idiot come test time! In fact, the schools I’m applying to may be wondering how I’ve kept up with my algebra as an English major. So thank you Barton, for helping me then, helping me now, and hopefully helping me some more in the future!
