Testimonials
Your instructors have been knowledgeable in the subject matters, diligent in responding to inquiries and courteous while spending long periods reviewing even the most basic concepts with me. I sincerely wish there was something like this when I went through law school (there's a thought). I have praised the service to all my Professors and the administrative staff.

SMARTHINKING has been an invaluable resource! In addition to statistics tutoring, I've found their basic math tutoring beneficial. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, responsive and patient. The hours are convenient, and all my questions have been answered promptly. The customer service staff is responsive and friendly. Anyone who needs additional assistance in their studies should take advantage of SMARTHINKING.

Thank you for your help. Your company provides invaluable service to students, such as myself, who are entirely too exhausted to catch obvious errors after reading and re-reading drafts. After awhile, even the best writer can't see his or her own mistakes. Thank you for providing an excellent and convenient service.

If you guys weren't there, I'd be pulling out what little I have left of my hair. I'm 42, going back to school via a distance ed course, and probably would have given up without you guys. Everybody I have been on [line] with has been great and their prompting—rather than giving the answers—has really helped me to understand.

I just wanted to let you know how much help your site has been to me. I attend Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria, CA and was given the use of an account by the school. I am in second year algebra and being an "older returning student", I found myself stuck (more often than not) while doing my homework. It has been wonderful this semester to be able to receive help any time day or night. The tutors I have worked with have gone out of their way to make sure that I understand the concepts I am working with as well as helping me solve problems. Kudos to all!!

I was having trouble in algebra, and had gotten help with the tutoring center, and one on one with my instructor at the college I am attending, Edmonds Community College. I also received help from a close friend, all of this help and I still couldn't get it. Then I remembered my instructor had given me access to SMARTHINKING. It was late at night and my 6-year-old had just gone down for the night. I signed on and met my tutor who was able to walk me through it. I am so glad that our school has the opportunity to use SMARTHINKING.

Edmonds Community College
The tutors are wonderful and I have one that I like in particular (and I plan to use her as much as possible). In my opinion the tutors explain the material better than the book itself. I think this is a wonderful service, and I am glad that it is available to all students this semester. It sure beats having to come to campus for tutoring, as this can fit into just about everyone's schedule.
