What Our Students Are Saying
-
To be frank, I loved working with BumoLearning.
The atmosphere at BumoLearning is so comfortable and supportive that seeking the help of their instructors never felt intimidating. I was encouraged by all the instructors and found them extremely helpful when quickly grading my score reports, turning them over the next day, and helping me schedule tutoring or more practice tests.
-
BumoLearning is one of the most engaging tutoring experiences I have ever had.
Everyone is super friendly, and the tutors are dedicated to helping you receive the best score possible. I enjoyed my tutor sessions at BumoLearning because not only am I preparing myself for exams, but I am also having fun, and I think that’s important.
-
I have had nothing but great experiences with BumoLearning.
I feel like Joan and the tutors cater to what is best for me as an individual student rather than adopting one prep method for all students. They understand the wide spectrum of the way students learn and mold an individual study plan after getting to know the student.
