TESTIMONIALS

Barbara was absolutely fantastic with Lila, and we were very happy with her. Lila got accepted to her first choice, and we appreciated the help not only with her essay but also with general college questions Barbara was able to help her with.

McEdwin was a fantastic tutor. He and our son, a college freshman, worked well together, and his grades, as a result, have dramatically improved.

Jacob tutored our son throughout his fifth and sixth grades. For our son, this was a time of increased academic demands and heightened anxiety, which exacerbated his language processing challenges. Jacob approached our son with sensitivity, compassion, and patience, which were greatly needed during this time. In addition to reinforcing essential academic content, Jacob provided flexible and effective study skill strategies—strategies that our son internalized and has continued to use independently! Jacob is an intelligent and knowledgeable educator who knows how to individualize his approach to his students to suit their specific needs and learning styles. He willingly communicates with school personnel and teachers to ensure continuity between his tutoring and students' classroom experiences. My son greatly benefited from this regular communication between professionals. I'd highly recommend Jacob to any child who needs individual and extra academic support!

My child worked with Gillian D. virtually for math enrichment. She is an excellent teacher. She took time to understand my child’s specific learning style and provided tools that would be engaging. She was kind and empathetic; she really made it her goal to connect with my child and build trust and rapport. My child started the school year with confidence and without the typical “brain drain” that occurs over the summer, thanks to Gillian.

I was referred to Themba Tutors to help my daughter strengthen her executive functioning skills. Craig was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He provided us with a few different tutors to meet in order to find the right fit. We’ve been working with McEdwin "Mackie," and he’s been wonderful. My daughter has worked with several tutors over the past 5 years, and Mackie is the first tutor she happily meets with. This is a huge win!

This company is great at finding awesome learning specialists who work with kids of all ages and use multisensory techniques to help break down abstract concepts. My child needs help with math, and they were able to supply him with a top-notch math tutor who was able to really help my son improve. Not only is it hard to find qualified math learning specialists who work well with school-aged children, but they come to your home, which is a real godsend.
Mr. K. Kim
Themba Tutors provided a learning specialist that perfectly fits my daughter. I told them what we were looking for, and they delivered. Our tutor is responsive and flexible, and she makes it easy for my daughter to reach out to her on her own, which gives her an added sense of responsibility for her learning. As a therapist myself, I now regularly recommend Themba to my patients. A much-needed and well-provided service to the community!!

I own a tutoring and educational consulting company myself. I called to ask for help with my daughter, who has sensory and ADHD-related issues. The woman on the phone was very honest with me and really guided me in the right direction. Most of the other companies I had called didn't seem to understand what a "multisensory" learning style means, which is fine, but I'm assuming they wouldn't understand my daughter's learning needs. I wound up getting better services through my daughter's school, but I'd recommend Themba to any parent with a child with special education needs.
Michelle, Park Slope Tutoring
Having been through the SAT/ACT tutoring process before with my older daughter, I knew we'd need something less conventional and more tailor-made for my son—someone who could adjust and meet the needs of his specific learning needs. My son has ADHD and easily becomes overwhelmed and anxious with regard to test-taking. After his first tutoring session with Dr. Brooke, we knew it was a "good fit." She was able to quickly develop a great working rapport with my son. She understood that he needed to be "gently" challenged, praised, and continually encouraged to keep him from becoming overly frustrated. His original PSAT score was 26. Dr. Brooke helped him bring his ACT score up to 31. We can't thank her enough!

My son has been working with Jeffrey for math tutoring with brilliant results. Jeffrey helped reinforce the lessons from class, helping him build confidence and perseverance. Jeffrey worked diligently to prepare for each session by making sure he was aware of what material my son was covering each week. Jeffrey would arrive for sessions with problem sheets they could work from to strengthen his skills. He was always very patient, reassuring, and encouraging. At the same time, he pushed Oliver toward mastery of the material. In six months, my son began to see himself as a capable, successful math student.
Sara Baysinger
I thought Paul was terrific, and our son did too! Paul was particularly helpful in the math section of the ACT and math in general. Paul had an amazing rapport with our son, and that made the twice-weekly commitment for tutoring fine for our son, which is really important. We highly recommend Paul!
Martha P.
We were very impressed with Anthony's calmness and resilience in the face of a daunting task—helping our daughter with math! He engaged her in creative and engaging ways to try and get across the challenging concepts of her homework and test prep. He really cared and made a lot of effort to work with our 11-year-old.
Emily R.
My daughter, a freshman in a public high school, was struggling in math. I got in touch with Blythe at Themba, and she managed to have a wonderful math tutor come to my home the following day. She stayed much longer than the required time to make sure that my daughter understood all the concepts. She also followed up with us and asked if we had any other questions that she could help with. As a parent, it is a relief to know that you can secure a tutor very quickly who comes straight to your home. A great experience!
Tiphaine M.
I have currently secured two excellent Themba Tutors for my son, a junior in an NYC high school. My son really enjoys working with these tutors, Matt and Anthony. He finds their methods clear and inspiring. Matt works with my son on college entrance test preparation (ACT and SAT), and Anthony works with my son on written expression, executive functioning, and attention skills.
Kristina K.
Matt tutored my son for the SAT and ACT this fall. We liked his positive approach to helping us learn the necessary testing skills. He is friendly and thoughtful and points out strengths while emphasizing areas that need extra work. Thank you for sending him to us!
Colleen Donohue
Our son started in a new high school, 100% remote, and was really struggling with Latin and Physics. I found Themba Tudors online and had an initial call with Craig, who was very knowledgeable and responsive and found two amazing tutors for us. Both the Latin and the physics tutors were fantastic; they connected with my son really well and helped him go from a ‘failing’ grade to an "honors" grade! I will for sure continue using (and recommending!) Themba Tutors. Thank you, C, K, and W!
Carolina L.
Themba Tutors was recommended to us by a therapist I used to evaluate my daughter, a 7th grader in a public school in Manhattan, for possible learning disabilities related to math. She needed help with strategies for completing homework and keeping skills up to date, as well as some remedial work to get her where she should be. especially with the challenging Common Core curriculum. My daughter had used a few tutors in the past, but none of them were as effective as Matt's. Matt has a very kind way about him, and his genuine concern for my daughter's progress was apparent. He was able to focus her attention for the full sessions without her feeling stressed or overwhelmed. He adjusted the agenda to accommodate problem areas that arose and to address extra last-minute material that needed to be reviewed for upcoming tests. Her final report card reflected a 90 for the school year. We couldn't have been more thrilled! Matt has a real gift for teaching that significantly contributed to her getting on track. Thank you for recommending Matt!

What is Machine Learning?

Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that allows software applications and systems to improve outcomes and make more accurate predictions without specific or explicit programming. Its algorithm works by accessing historical data and using it to learn and make better forecasts, calculations, or predictions.

Data can be gathered from examples, direct experience, statistics, user interactions, and instruction. These are observed and analyzed for patterns in usage or behavior, which will then allow the program to make better decisions. The main objective of machine learning is to allow computers to learn on its own and adapt accordingly without needing human interference.

What are the Methods of Machine Learning?

Machine learning methods fall into three principal groups, also called machine learning styles. These include supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised learning methods.

Supervised Machine Learning

Supervised learning or supervised machine learning is a subtype of machine learning and artificial intelligence that uses labeled datasets to teach algorithms to classify, interpret, and predict outcomes. As the algorithm learns from repeated testing and training, it will begin to set goals and apply what it has learned to new data. It can also compare its outcomes with the parameters defined as the right output and detect errors. An example of supervised machine learning application is sorting spam or junk mail separately from your main inbox.

Unsupervised Machine Learning

Unsupervised machine learning is a type of machine learning that uses unlabeled data and allows the algorithm to learn, classify, and discover patterns on its own. This type of machine learning uses analysis, clustering, and association rules to scan data and check for hidden patterns, anomalies, useful connections, and groupings. Unsupervised machine learning is able to detect similarities and differences in information. Some of its applications include defining customer traits and personas, cross-selling strategies, medical imaging, anomaly detection, and categorizing news articles.

Semi-Supervised Machine Learning

Semi-supervised machine learning is a combination of supervised and unsupervised learning principles. This specialized learning algorithm is used when handling a small number of labeled data together with a large amount of unlabeled information. Hence, semi-supervised learning allows the model to detect and solve classification problems while also training it to analyze and cluster information.

What is Reinforcement Learning?

Reinforcement learning is a branch of machine learning that deals with decision-making. It trains models to make a sequence of appropriate decisions to maximize rewards in a specific environment or situation. Unlike supervised machine learning, reinforcement learning does not involve labeled datasets. Instead, the model learns from experience by interacting with its environment and observing its response. It uses trial-and-error techniques, in which the model is rewarded or gets penalties for its actions.

How Can Themba Tutors’ Machine Learning Tutors Help?

Data is the essence of every company. Being able to analyze information and interpret data are crucial in making business decisions that can either put you a step above your competition or fall behind. Machine learning increases the potential for success of any business by making decisions driven by consumer data. Today, many of our everyday activities and interactions involve machine learning. With machine learning tutoring, you can keep up with the latest advancements in AI technology, master the powerful methods of machine learning, and maximize its usage and applications. Our machine learning tutors can teach you practical and functional machine learning knowledge and how to apply these methods to new challenges.

Who Uses Machine Learning?

Machine learning plays a crucial role in the field of data science. It gives companies and businesses a clear view of trends, patterns, and customer behavior, which then allows them to make better decisions and help in the development of new products. Companies with vast volumes of data recognize the importance of machine learning technologies. Businesses gain a competitive edge by analyzing and gathering insight from these data.

Healthcare

An example of machine learning application in healthcare are the devices that track your body’s overall health, including how many steps you’ve taken in a day, oxygen and sugar levels, as well as sleep patterns. It allows physicians to assess the health of their patients in real-time. It helps to identify skin cancer and study retina to diagnose diabetic retinopathy. Machine-learning systems can also identify tumors in mammograms.

Financial services

Analyzing financial data allows investors to find potential opportunities. Machine learning helps companies identify high-risk customers, prevent fraudulent activities, adjust financial portfolios, and evaluate insurance risks.

Transportation

In the transportation sector, machine learning helps experts manage and anticipate possible challenges. Machine learning is widely used in supply and transport companies and plays an important role in supply chain management and logistics.

Government

Machine learning programs enable officials to use data to forecast outcomes, including reducing costs and improving performance. Likewise, it is particularly helpful in the areas of cyber defense, cyber intelligence, and fraud detection.
