Sunshine Tutoring has been an incredible resource for my kid’s educational journey. Farida and her team of tutors has consistently provided exceptional support and guidance, ensuring my kids' academic success. With years of experience, Sunshine Tutoring is the go-to choice for anyone seeking reliable and effective tutoring services.

My 4 year old son has been with My Sunshine Tutoring Center for 8 months now. I have seen tremendous improvement and continue to see progress in his studies with every single session. Before we started with My Sunshine, I never thought my child would be able to use such logical explanations to problem solve and advance so quickly in phonics. Farida has been extremely helpful in easing the anxiety of my son taking the Gifted & Talented test. She takes the time to fully explain everything to him, giving him the confidence that he needs to excel. I highly recommend My Sunshine Tutoring Center!!

Was very beneficial for our 4 year old daughter to be tutored there! She scored 99% on the NYC kindergarten gifted test for admissions. Farida has a holistic approach to tutoring that takes in the emotional well-being of children and methods along with academics. She gave us excellent tips to practice at home too that help with kid’s reasoning, verbal and math skills. Esma is a good and patient teacher. Would recommend My Sunshine tutoring at any age in addition to school.

My son (4 1/2 years old) has been with Farida at My Sunshine Tutoring Center since August 2013, attending classes twice a week. I regard Farida not only as a very professional, ethical, intelligent and a highly experienced teacher, but also as a very understanding, kind and an extremely caring person. Farida’s unique combination of educational and professional backgrounds has enabled her to find the key to each individual child, making sure that all the classes are conducted in a very efficient and productive manner, and more importantly, each child is satisfied and happy, has the desire to prepare for each class, to come back to each class and to demonstrate the required engagement and performance during each class.

In short, I give my highest recommendation and review to Farida at My Sunshine Tutoring Center! I am very glad and blessed that my son is part of it! It is really hard these days to find a place with such loving, responsible, sensitive and caring teacher, such as Farida, who understands and realizes every individual child’s needs and provides these little individuals with a very solid social and educational foundation that will benefit them in their first big step of entering the big and somewhat scary world of Kindergarten and Elementary School!

Farida has been tutoring my 10 year old son since he was 2.5. He successfully passed ERB and Stanford–Binet tests at the age of 4 and continued with Russian and Math lessons. His younger brother also started to take Russian course last year and is doing very well. I believe Farida is a talented teacher. Her unique teaching approach and technics get excellent results and test scores. Both of my boys attend French/American school and Russian is one of the four languages they speak and continue to learn. We practice only verbal Russian at home, but I see a constant improvement in writing and reading skills with only one weekly session of Russian language at My Sunshine Center. I would like to comment on a review I have read regarding crying and tuition payment : My sons were screaming, protesting and running to mommy for weeks, it’s hard for many active toddlers to sit and pay attention, but they all get over it. I believe parents need to be patient and reasonable, there is no school or tutoring center that would reimburse a tuition after the semester has started and the contract clearly states that.

Our son has been attending Farida’s classes for over 4 months now. Over this period, we have noticed a remarkable increase in his cognitive, analytical and comprehension skills. Farida has taken acute care in making sure our son is developing the right, age appropriate verbal, math, and language skills. Farida’s teachings are a great compliment to our son’s traditional pre-school education. Using tactics that are engaging, Farida is able to capture our son’s attention and foster a sense of curiosity enabling him to enjoy his learning experience. Her hands on approach lends to undivided attention. She is in continuous contact with us and keeps us informed on our son’s development. We couldn’t be more pleased with how our son has progressed over the last few months. His Russian has improved remarkably, he demonstrates logical and critical thinking in his approach, and finally his understanding of simple math is clearly observable in everyday interactions. We recommend Farida without any reservation.

My child has been attending My Sunshine Tutoring since he was 2 years old. He is now 4 1/2. Our experience has been nothing but absolutely positive. Every Monday and Wednesday my child wakes up excitedly saying -- "Are we going to Farida today?" (Farida is the name of the teacher).

Farida is an amazing teacher -- she knows how to access young children in a way that most teachers (and parents) do not. The students always behave in her class, answer all of her questions, she just has a way with them that I have never seen before. We are very satisfied customers and recommend Farida whole-heartedly.

We used Sunshine for help with SHSAT preparation. Omar and Ari were wonderful with our son. They provided extremely personalized attention for him and appropriate for his skill-level homework. Our son got an offer from his #1 choice in SHSAT high schools. We are thrilled with the preparation help he received from Sunshine. Thanks so much!
Update: we also used Sunshine for our 6th grader to study for the Hunter exam in early 2023, and our second son got in! Omar and Ari gave him just the right coaching and feedback, thank you!
