ACE Tutoring of San Marcos

First and foremost I would like to thank Steve, Diana and the rest of the staff at Ace Tutor for helping my son reach his academic goals. He went from almost failing math to earning an A in math! Thanks to the highly skilled staff of tutors he has been accepted into the University of his choice. He feels that the study skills he learned at Ace Tutor will continue to benefit him during his college education.
I strongly encourage any parent searching for help for their student to visit Ace Tutor. The friendly staff will be more than happy to help set up the perfect plan for your child.

The entire ACE San Marcos team is wonderful. But… I have to give extra props to Carol who firmly guides my spirited daughter and encourages to be the best writer she can be. Thanks Ms. Carol!

Both my son and daughter were earning excellent grades in school, and yet I noticed that they were unable to do basic math in their head. I was concerned that this would make it difficult for them once they started middle school. I wanted to make sure that they had the important foundations that are so imperative when learning advanced math. I called around to many different tutoring facilities, but I was unimpressed. I finally found Steve at Ace tutoring, and I saw immediately that he understood my concerns, and could help give my kids the base that they lacked.
My children were assessed, and I was able to observe his tutors at work. I, myself, have worked in education for many years, and it is this experience that assures me that his tutors are extremely gifted. Not only do they have a natural ability to connect with students and allay their fears, but they use methodologies that are progressive and extremely effective.
I have to add that my children were very resentful when I sent them for tutoring. They did not understand why they needed it. Now they look forward to each session, and tell me how happy they are that I signed them up. They have gotten an enormous amount of academic confidence as their math skills improve, and they feel very proud of what they have accomplished.
While I have many choices for tutoring in my own town. I drive 20 minutes to get to San Marcos, because I believe that Ace tutoring is that exceptional.

I have had all 3 of my children attend ACE tutoring all for different reasons. However, with my daughter who is now a sophomore, it was a struggle. She did not want to go and she was very anxious and nervous. After the very first session, she actually loved it and now looks forward to going. She feels smarter and ask’s questions during class and has had her grades increase by 2 letter grades. It is a wonderful tutoring center which really helps guide the kids to empower them to learn better and easier with great instruction.

My daughter, Emily started tutoring at Ace when she was in 2^nd grade. She was struggling so much with reading and was a grade behind. Along with Emily’s hard work and the tutoring, at the end of 2^nd grade, she was awarded Student of the Year! We continued her tutoring all through 2^nd grade, the summer and presently. She is now in 3^rd grade and is reading at grade level! We are so happy with the progress she has made. Steve is great at answering any questions you may have and always sits with parents to show students’ progress. The tutors are always so helpful and have a genuine passion to see students succeed. I would recommend Ace Tutoring for your child if he/​she is struggling in school whether they are in elementary, middle or high school!

I was contacted after emailing in addition to the many phone calls. We are currently sending our daughter there. The first sessions were hard, and when I emailed, was told that a tween would be resistant. After talking again, she was switched to a different tutor and walks out with both a smile and a better understanding of math after each session.

This place is awesome! SMUSD is a GREAT place to be, BUT, everyone can benefit with additional practice time.
My elementary and middle school kids were doing great anyways, but ACE helped them improve in areas that we didn’t even know that they needed help in. ACE helped identify problem areas and provided solutions. As many of you know, my wife and I are really involved in all aspects of school and wouldn’t trust education to just anyone. ACE knows what they are doing and WILL help your child exceed all Common Core expectations.
Finally, ACE supports Carrillo and San Elijo schools generously. They probably support others too, but I’m not aware of their other activities. In my opinion, it’s always nice to help friends with a common cause. ACE definitely fits that description.

Steve & the Team at ACE are amazing! We enrolled our 10^th Grade daughter who was pulling D’s and F’s at the beginning of the year and within a few months she pulled it up to all A’s and B’s. Now sure, you may say it depends on the student, but we’re talking about a teenage girl who completely checked out and wouldn’t hear anything. The Tutor-​to-​Student ratio is great. They’re engaging, energetic and very attentive. It was a sacrifice to pay for the service but results are worth every dollar. Plus ACE’s prices are comparable. I highly recommend ACE Tutoring!

I have been sending my son to ACE Tutoring (formally called the Tutoring Club) for about 1.5 years. When he first started there, he was struggling with his reading and comprehension. Although he maintained a B in his reading and writing, he also struggled with it as homework, requiring a lot of assistance. After attending ACE, his confidence level has risen dramatically. I truly feel he is a new kid when it comes to studying habits, test taking and homework. The tutors at Ace taught him studying skills, note taking and tricks to reading and comprehension. His writing has improved tremendously. I am proud to say he is currently getting all A’s (one B+) with an A+ in Language Arts. I contribute much of his success to the help he received at ACE. With their computer system and concentration on Common Core, I know my son is understanding what he is learning in the classroom much more. Thank you ACE for building confidence in my son and showing him he does have what it takes to be a great student!
