What families say
"You are such a living blessing in my kids' lives."
"Eddie thrived under Paragon's help and his math scores improved by nearly 20 points, which was amazing. Their tutor has a way that allows Eddie to approach the work with good humor and confidence, and that carries over into the classroom. We will continue to use Paragon for Eddie's advanced placement math classes."
"Paragon was great at customizing test prep and skill building to each student's needs. We used them for two children for the Math and Reading sections of the SAT, as well as general math tutoring. We're very happy with the instructional approach, and the results: concept and score improvement."
"Both of my kids have been having sessions with Paragon teachers to help with geometry, algebra, AP calculus, and SAT classes and we couldn't be happier! The instructors are amazing: interactive, knowledgeable, and great at making even the toughest concepts feel manageable. My kids' scores have improved drastically since working with them. The program is organized, very supportive, and really goes above and beyond!"
"We are so glad we "found" Paragon. From the very first lesson it was clear to us that their tutor's patient and level-headed approach and great command of the subject matter would work well with our daughter. We were right. Even after a few months, our daughter was working through her Algebra II sophomore year challenges with more visible confidence and understanding, which all resulted in a strong performance at the final and a meaningful uptick in her overall grade."
"We have been clients of Paragon for 2 years now and couldn't be happier with the level of tutoring, attention and results. We started using Paragon when my high school student was having difficulty in math. Her grades went from the low 80s to the high 90s in a short time, and so we decided to use Paragon for her SAT / ACT prep as well. Their knowledge of the ACT and SAT was superb, using different tutors for verbal and math, and truly made the test less stressful."
"Iain has been an excellent tutor in math for us for a number of years. He knows the school curriculum and my son feels he learns more from Iain than his teachers at school. We would highly recommend Paragon Tutoring."
"My oldest daughter struggled with Algebra I. However, since Paragon has been tutoring her, she earned an A+ in Geometry and an A in accelerated Algebra II this summer. Most importantly, thanks to Paragon she has become confident in her abilities and is passionate about pursuing higher level math. My younger daughter (beginning 6th grade) loves her math sessions with them and is developing solid skills and growing confidence. I highly recommend Paragon."
"Paragon is OUTSTANDING. They helped my daughter become fully prepared for the SAT / ACT and her final exams. Paragon has expert and approachable tutors and they created a fully customized program for us. I highly recommend Paragon for any child who needs extra help in any subject area."
"Thanks so much for helping Ava spring back from a very rocky start to last year's math course. We are pleased with not only her fantastic grades, but also her increased confidence and more positive attitude toward the subject. We are grateful for your help in turning things around for her quickly and with lasting improvement."
"Both of my high school aged kids have been using Paragon to help with Geometry and Algebra. They have greatly enjoyed working with Iain and enjoy their sessions with him. I have recommended him to friends and highly recommend him to anybody looking for a tutor. He's gotten both kids through some tough times. Thank you Paragon!!"
"We used Paragon for tutoring for our daughter, Becky. Although she was in AP classes she lacked confidence when it came to standardized tests. The technical skills she learned were invaluable, but equally important was the confidence instilled by having a firm foundation in many items she may have gone over quickly in school. Paragon greatly increased her confidence and ability to do well on the PSAT, SAT and ACT. We highly recommend Paragon."
"Paragon was terrific! They tutored my son to prepare him for the SATs. He raised his score significantly because of the tutoring from Paragon. I'd highly recommend them."
"Thomas was lucky to have three great tutors from Paragon, for math and for the ACT. Over the summer he was able to get an A+ in a demanding accelerated pre-calc course and is now well-prepared for calculus. After moving to Jupiter, FL from Westport, CT, tutoring continued, but was online, and that worked as well for Thomas as in person. Thanks for all your help."
