Testimonials

Marc as an Academic Coach

“Marc was referred to our family in the fall of our son Brian’s junior year, after we had discovered he had some short term memory and processing issues. Marc was great! He and Brian immediately clicked. Not only was Marc able to help Brian develop the organizational and study skills he had been lacking, but he also showed interest in Brian’s athletic successes and his home life. He was very good at communicating with me about any challenges he was encountering or progress that Brian was making. With Marc’s help that one year, Brian was able to make honor roll at his school for the first time. He was then accepted to his first choice of boarding schools, where he made honor roll that following year without any study skill assistance, much to our amazement. Marc’s help and encouragement made a huge difference in Brian’s attitude and academic success. He is now a happy, confident freshman at a competitive college.” - Joan from Rowayton

Help Finding an Academic Coach

"Michelle has been the ideal match for Rob. Our son no longer wanted to hear it from his father and me about not applying himself. Michelle, in a non-threatening way, was able to get Rob to put himself out there and try. Since day one, we’ve seen consistent growth. Although my son is bright, he needed someone to help him get things in order. Thanks for all your help!” - Jane from Westport

Consulting

“Marc Hoffman has been a wonderful and positive presence in our lives. He has worked with our son, Richard, along with us for the past year, and he’s provided invaluable advice on how to best help my son address his learning issues. Within days of first talking with Marc, he met with us and then our son. Right away I could tell that my son felt comfortable and appreciated the fact that Marc could truly understand his learning issues. He helped us develop a plan to deal with our son’s school, develop self-advocacy skills, and began a process that brought immediate relief. We’ve found dealing with our son's problems has been draining, painful and even scary, but Marc was able to help us see the light at the end of the tunnel.” - Sharon from Greenwich

Help Finding a Tutor

“I am writing on behalf of my family to express how much we appreciate Hoffman Educational Group helping us find a Chemistry tutor. Our son had all but given up in chemistry and getting help from the classroom teacher was going nowhere. Either the teacher did not have time to provide extra help for my son, or it had to do with the fact that he was totally turned off to receiving help. It was obvious our son was capable, but he needed external support from the classroom to get back on track.

“The hoffmaneducation.com website was referred to us by our son’s school counselor. The site led us to a HEG education consultant, and we explained what our needs were and he was extremely accommodating. HEG found us an excellent tutor who started right away. Immediately, a thorough plan was put in place, and my son’s fear of Chemistry subsided and he began to excel. The difference in our son's academic performance can be contributed to an increased effort on the part of our son but also to a truly excellent tutor. Without hesitation we recommend the Hoffman Education Group.”- Rob and Sally from Darien
