What Families Say About Working with Hilltop
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had an extremely positive experience with Hilltop Tutoring. My daughter has worked with Nicolette to sharpen her writing and with Dave on her college essay. She has had great results with both and has enjoyed the process which is no small feat. As a parent, I find the scheduling/ administration very easy. They understand these kids have busy lives and constantly changing schedules and deadlines. My daughter said "Nicolette has helped me become a better writer. I have improved my grammar and writing structure and have consistently performed better on assignments. She makes writing fun!" Dave was incredibly helpful with her college essay. He really helped her craft an authentic essay that was 100% her! The assistant dean of her future college even reached out to say what a refreshing and enjoyable read it was.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We have been clients of Hilltop Tutoring Center for all 4 of our children over more years than I can recall. The staff's knowledge of the Summit school curriculum over all the levels of math, science, english has been providing consistent support to our children that has positively impacted their preparation and readiness for high school and into their future college coursework. All of our now-college graduates have relied on study skills and approaches learned at Hilltop in their college programs. SAT and ACT prep was also done at Hilltop, with individualized plans to maximize the results by focusing on the highest needs and not wasting time on materials they already had mastered. College essay assistance with Dave has also been one of the most transformative projects-- the vague ideas turned into truly astonishing essays. If we could give them 10 stars we would.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hilltop Tutoring has been an absolute cornerstone of our family’s academic journey. They have tutored my three daughters for the past eight years, and truly, my girls grew up at Hilltop. The tutors are exceptional—incredibly gifted, deeply caring, and genuinely passionate about what they do. We have relied on Hilltop for everything: day-to-day homework support, ACT and SAT prep, college essays, and college applications. No matter the challenge, they have been there—consistently, reliably, and expertly. What truly sets Hilltop apart is their organization, communication, and partnership with parents. They are always on top of texts and emails, and constantly changing schedules are handled quickly and seamlessly. After every session, I receive a detailed update the very next day outlining exactly what was worked on, so I am always fully in the loop—even when my teenager forgets to tell me. Most importantly, Hilltop goes out of their way to make your child successful. They have been my greatest partner throughout the teenage years with my children, and I honestly don’t know how we would have made it through without them. They are simply the best. Number one, without question. If you have any hesitations—don’t. This is absolutely the right place.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My three daughters have been going to Hilltop Tutoring for years. They are amazing tutors and always deal with our crazy schedule. Highly recommend!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I literally can't say enough about Hilltop. This is not only the best place to bring students for remedial help but also to keep advanced students at the top of their game. My own son fell into both groups. It must be a statement of the real devotion of the tutors at Hilltop that he actually enjoyed and anticipated the meetings. His tutors not only improved his work but led him into new and advanced areas that added extra polish and excitement to his outlook. They are the very best I have seen and as an educator myself (college professor 15 years at Ivy League colleges) I have seen a lot. The communication and staff are really extraordinary.

Hilltop Tutoring Center provided ACT prep and college essay tutoring for my daughter and I can’t say enough about all of the individuals that she worked with. Beyond the typical proficiency regarding the material and techniques, the tutors at HTC really connected with my daughter and supported her well beyond the narrow issues for which they were hired. Dave Lemmon was terrific on the ACT verbal aspects and the essay. Francesca was amazing, not only for the ACT but also general math help. Beyond the simple mechanics of tutoring, Francesca helped my daughter develop confidence in an area where it was lacking (math.) Perhaps working with a female who was very bright, yet likable and easy to identify with was a factor – but there is no question that Francesca was a great fit. Getting to know the people at HTC was a big part of my daughter’s HS development and maturing process, and the contributed significantly to her success.”
