We had previously avoided tutoring due to the potential costs, but decided that our 16-year old son needed help with organization, time management and prioritization before it was too late. Leaving it to him or trying to “nag” him into getting his work done wasn’t working for him or for us. We noticed a minivan with the Tutoring With a Twist logo outside the North End Library and decided to give it a go. The owner, Amber Scotchburn, is easy to deal with and the Twisted Tutor has quickly gained our son’s respect (which is not an easy task). Our Tutor is flexible with dates and times when necessary and has helped our son keep up with his schoolwork, and in fact he has also taken on extra classes through Learn at Home. It’s still a work in progress, but a huge improvement. We will be continuing with our Twisted Tutor through the summer to get a head start on next year.

The problem I was trying to solve was to help my daughter Emily with her math. I wanted her to enjoy math and not be afraid to ask questions when she doesn’t understand something. I choose Tutoring With A Twist because they make it fun for my daughter to learn. My daughter was only getting 2/5 on her weekly math quizzes before she starting getting help in math. When my daughter had only been with the Twisted Tutor for about three weeks, we were super excited as she got an 88% on her math quiz! I would highly recommend Tutoring With A Twist for any child that is struggling in school.

Peace of mind… that is what Tutoring with a Twist has done for our family. We adults in our house are not the best at math, but wanted to give our 10 year old better tools that we had when it came to numbers. We are blessed to have found Amber and Erin. Our daughter is much more confident in her math skills, actually finishing her school work ahead of time and is awfully proud of herself. That sense of pride is what we wanted her to feel. It makes us feel fantastic too! Thanks Tutoring with a Twist.

The Twisted Tutor that works with my daughter is gentle when she needs to be and firm at other times. She has built a relationship with my daughter built on rapport and trust. We feel she’s irreplaceable.

My daughter was behind a couple grades in math and struggled to understand concepts and would become frustrated at times. We tried extra work at home and different methods recommended by teachers but nothing helped. I wasn’t initially sure if paying for a tutor would really help as there are so many that say they could but I’ve heard they don’t do much. Tutoring With A Twist uses a different approach to learning and with all their different tutors so I thought they might be able to help my daughter. After showing her their website she wanted to try. My daughter looks forward to seeing her tutor and she is able to work more independently in class and home. She doesn’t get as frustrated with things and thanks to her Twisted Tutor she has learned new problem-solving skills. The team members are awesome, so understanding and they not only help your child to understand but will work with you to help them too. My daughter’s Twisted Tutor always makes sure she understands and goes above and beyond to do so and to keep me involved and learn too. Her tutor, as I’m sure so do others, really do care whether your child succeeds not only with the actual course they need help with, but to have to confidence to do so later. I love the Twisted Reports they put out each month, so that you know where your child is at and if you have any questions they are awesome at answering them. If your child ever needs help with their schooling, I’d tell people you’d be a fool not to consult this agency.

Our son had an awesome experience with his Twisted Tutor over the summer. He is even asking if he can continue with her throughout the school year with weekly sessions. Thanks again.

My son has recently starting tutoring with Tutoring…With A Twist and it has been an entirely positive experience. I love that they took the time to get to know my son and our family in the initial planning meeting, and continue to adjust the lessons to his needs, instead of just forcing tired lesson plans. I’m also a big fan of the monthly invoicing, as we went with a big franchise tutor in the past who made us pre-pay over a thousand dollars upfront for a large block of hours before we even knew if tutoring would help. Tutoring…With A Twist just does such a good job of putting people first. Highly recommend!

We were looking for someone to help motivate our child, which is a challenge. We hadn’t used a tutor before due to cost. We used this company as I had seen the owner’s, Amber Scotchburn, name before. They helped get our child on track, as our “Twisted Tutor” was lovely!! (Our Tutor was kind, supportive, fun, and even tolerated our annoying dogs!). I totally trust the Tutor with our child, the company is easy to work with, and the report they supply allows you to track your child’s progress. We will be using them again!!

In our first session, it was explained that students could be two grades below or two grades higher in a particular subject area. This gave me such piece of mind because I knew my child was struggling but I didn’t know why. Tutoring…With A Twist gave us the solution – build back my son’s foundation by meeting his where he was at. Then, introduce grade level concepts. Thanks!

Tutoring…With A Twist is awesome!! So needed in our society, where more families feel the need to home-school. I REALLY appreciate your business, your service and the positive manner that you deal with your clients. Thank You!
