about Learning Magic.
Maryellen,
I thought I would let you know that your former student, Nicole, was accepted to all eight of the colleges that she appplied to including: the University of Delaware, Virgina Commonwealth Unviersity, Marist College, University of Hartford, and Syracuse University. She ultimiately decided to attend Syracuse to study Studio Art. Thanks for the help wtih her SAT prep, I am sure that was a help in the acceptance process.
Thanks again,
Lisa W.
Dear Mrs. Yeo,
Thank you for all the educational support that you gave my daughter. The one on one attention that she received from your staff helped her prepare for the high school equivalency test. It wasn't long after tutoring with your staff that she took the test and passed! You should have seen her facial expression. She was so excited when she received her letter from the GED Chief Examiner at Bristol Community College stating that she passed her tests.
I am convinced that she would not have been able to do this without the special attention that she received from your staff at Learning Magic. My daughter's ambition to learn and the support she received from your staff enabled her to successfully complete and pass her tests. Now the sky is the limit! She can start thinking about a career. She is now thinking about attending classes at Bristol Community College.
The world has opened up for her now that she has completed her High School Equivalency Test. I know that I can always use Learning Magic as a resource if I need too.
Words cannot describe how grateful I am.

"Learning Magic has made an incredible difference in my son. He began sixth grade struggling with writing assignments, which was a skill that I knew he would need for the rest of his life. Since school has never been his favorite thing to do, I had to convince him that going to Learning Magic would be a good idea.
"His first lesson was great – he came out feeling really good about what he had learned. The one-on-one gives him the opportunity to really understand things before he has to move on to something new. It has given him so much confidence that he now participates in the classroom because he feels confident about the material they are working on. He looks forward to his lesson every week and can't say enough about Ms. Yeo and her staff; they have given him more than knowledge – they have given him confidence."

"Our 14 year old son has been going to Learning Magic for two months. He is scheduled for once a week for an hour. What a difference this has made! Not only have his test and quiz scores gone up, his overall attitude toward school has improved. He is more organized and he approaches his schoolwork in a more confident manner.
"Our son tells us he learns more in the one hour with his tutor than he does all week in his class with 30 other students. We really can't say enough about the quality and the benefits of Learning Magic."

“"My daughter has been a student at Learning Magic due to reading problems in school. Learning Magic offered my daughter an intensive reading program. The staff tested her, determined her areas of need, and worked diligently to help my daughter become a proficient reader. My daughter completed the entire reading program and she still wants Learning Magic. She continues to be a good student in school." “

“"I am very pleased with the experience my son and I had at Learning Magic. My son was having difficult in Math and we were concerned about his 4th grade MCAS performance. Shortly after enrolling him in Learning Magic, I noticed an improvement in his homework, his test scores, and his attitude. He enjoyed attending his tutoring sessions and became much more confident in his math abilities. He passed the MCAS test without problems and scored proficient. I highly recommend Learning Magic."”

"“Learning Magic's SAT Preparation Program thoroughly helped my ability and confidence in taking the SAT”S. My tutor taught me different ways to interpret questions and showed me multiple strategies to keep in mind while testing. I learned better ways to analyze passages and solving math problems. The small size class significantly helped me pinpointing difficulties. Water and candy were always available when we had a break. The warm learning atmosphere encouraged me to get all I could out of each session. I would highly recommend Learning Magic to any student looking to prepare for the SAT."”

“"I am writing to share our positive experience at Learning Magic. Our son started freshman year in high school with a fifth grade reading level. Our son scored low on the Catholic high school placement test. A public educator recommended Learning Magic.. He attended Learning Magic for six months and never once complained about going. The staff was friendly, professional, and taught in a positive manner. After the six months, he retested. The improvement was remarkable. He saw the results, to with his spelling and reading. His final grade for the College Prep class was a B. He never would have succeeded without the dedication and positive learning atmosphere. As a parent, I want to express my gratitude and thanks to Learning Magic for giving my child l his self-esteem back. He is not afraid to pick up a book and read it. Without this program, he would have continued to be a below average student in English."”

"We are so happy with Learning Magic and their SAT Prep classes. Our son had a 90 point jump in Critical Reading and a 60 point jump in math. Tutors were well versed in the strategies my son needed to increase his scores. We highly recommend Learning Magic. MaryEllen promptly returned our calls and emails and the flexibility of the hours accommodated our busy lifestyle. Give them a call and you will be amazed a the results!"

"My son is a senior in high school. On his initial taking of
the SAT's, he did poorly on the Critical Reading section. I attempted
to tutor him myself and after a few tries and much frustration,
I decided to give Learning Magic the honor! MaryEllen Yeo tutored
him for several weeks before he retook the SAT's. We were very
happy with the results -- 100 points higher in reading! I believe
this is the result of the strategies that MaryEllen
taught him and the confidence he gained in his ability. I put my faith
in her and her learning center and encourage you to do the same. By
the way, Michael applied to five colleges and was accepted to all
of them."
