Real results - parent feedback

  • "Illuminos allowed me to focus on being a parent and not the homework police.

    Illuminos allowed me to focus on being a parent and not the homework police. It took the battling about homework off of my plate. Three years ago, my son said "I don't think I am smart enough to go to college." Now, he has his choice of universities and wants to become a stockbroker. Illuminos gave him the confidence in academics that he never had before."

    - Rich S., Dad of 12th Grader

  • "My son was struggling significantly with organization, staying on task with homework and preparing for exams.

    I could immediately see that there was a true conviction and passion with Wendy to help my son. After the assessment, Wendy mapped out a a schedule and process for the semester. Our coach was patient, thoughtful and could relate so well with my son. Over the course of the semester, his grades continued to improve and he ended this semester with straight A's that included four honors classes. This was probably one of the most worthwhile endeavors I have done for my son as it has taught him a skill that will last him a lifetime.

    - Paul C, Father of 11th Grader

  • "Wendy and Illuminos have been nothing short of fantastic for our family.

    Our son's coach is a rock star who has connected with him in a way that has improved his study skills and academic performance without making him miserable. The communication from both the coach and Wendy have been great and it has really de-escalated the nightly homework stress in our house. We are very fortunate to have been connected with her and her team."

    - Bill C., Father of 7th Grader

  • "What a wonderful update! It means so much for us to see such great progress.

    We clearly owe [you] so much thanks for your hard work! We are hopeful that our daughter is learning skills that will serve her well next year [in college]. Honestly, the college acceptances, her SAT score and her AP score for Psych have propelled her forward such a tremendous distance. She can no longer call herself stupid. She has clear evidence that she can’t let her anxiety refute."

    - Tami C., Mom of a 12th grader

  • "From the very beginning we have felt that communication, demeanor, attention to detail, planning and everything in between has been nothing but outstanding.

    I have never used the word “blessed” in any form of expression, but we truly feel that way since finding Illuminos. We’ve had two coaching sessions with Bradley so far and I can’t even begin to express our satisfaction with him. Illuminos has done a superior job matching him with Jake. He not only has already won over Jake but us as well. He is the kindest and most thoughtful person as well as organized and so on top of everything. His communication with us is unparalleled and has been such a relief.

    - Morgan P., Mom to 6th Grader

  • "Our son's Illuminos coach has helped him tremendously this past school year. He struggles with ADHD and has an executive functioning deficit.

    His coach is truly invested in our son and has made huge strides with him this school year. He can chunk assignments, plan out his calendar, study more effectively and is learning how to better communicate with his teachers. Illuminos has been a huge game changer for our family, eliminated stress, stopped the nagging, and is helping to prepare our son to be successful in college and in life.

    - Anne M., Mom of 10th Grader

    Not only do they stand by their mission but we got a coach that is stellar and really provided strategic coaching based his needs establishing trust, accountability and action that got us through a tough time especially during the Covid on line learning platforms for school.

His coach, Megan, has not only helped him develop essential executive function skills but has also made a real impact on his confidence and social life. The coaching goes beyond just academics—it includes critical life skills like communication, organization, and self-advocacy. I’ve seen firsthand how Illuminos creates meaningful connections with students, helping them navigate school and life more easily. My husband, who isn’t in the education field, has also been consistently impressed with the progress our son has made. We couldn’t be happier with the decision to work with Illuminos!” – Megan F., Mom of 7th Grader & Therapist
