Academic mentor & BrainStorm’s resident math guru Patrick Neary demonstrates through song & dance what to do with an inequality when you multiply or divide by a negative quantity (Ya flip it!)

“[My daughter] worked (via Skype) with Tucker and was so enthusiastic about him, the guidance and help he was able to share — it was an overall great experience. So…a huge thank you and compliments to Tucker.

Next…drumroll please. [My daughter] got her most recent ACT scores yesterday. Prior to working with you and your staff [she] had been struggling with the Reading and English sections of the exam. She previously scored a 27 on each of those sections. On this exam she achieved a 32 on both Reading and English.

For the first time,  I am much more confident that in conjunction with her school grades and classwork, extra curricular activities she will be able to complete her dream of attending [her dream school].Thank you for the wonderful work you and your team are providing. [She] is so much more confident and calm just knowing she can reach out for help when she needs it from your staff. I have already, and will continue to highly recommend your program to my friends in the community.” - A Franklin Lakes Mom

Last night, a handful of BrainStorm tutors were enjoying a meal at Blue Moon Mexican Cafe in Wyckoff, when their waitress handed them a note & informed them that someone had bought them a round of drinks.

The note instructed them to look to the right, and when they did they saw a group of BrainStorm students smiling and waving: “Thanks for tutoring us!”

It warmed our hearts & brought a smile to our faces. Appreciation from our students–the ultimate reward.
