I have probably one of the most stubborn unmotivated dogs alive (an Akita) and Corinne has done wonders with him. She trains using positive reinforcement. She is gentle and kind and it is obvious when she works with your dog that she seriously knows her stuff. My dog responds to her methods really well. She works with both the owner and the dog so that while she is shaping behaviors she is also teaching you how to reinforce those behaviors and teaching you the principles of positive reinforcement and using clicks and small treats to communicate with the dog. She is also extremely reasonable for a private trainer. I feel so lucky to have found Corinne!

Corinne was able to get me on track, keep me motivated and truly helped me succeed and pass this extremely difficult class. She took the time needed to help me understand, always came prepared to my house with an agenda and truly cared about the outcome. There was a time when I had thought about dropping the class and taking a more basic class in the Fall and then retaking this class....however she convinced me to hang in there and helped me be successful. I highly recommend Corinne for any type of Algebra tutoring needed, whether it's a younger or 'older' student !!

Willow Glen tutoring was always very accommodating with our schedules and needs. They had options for in-person tutoring and Zoom tutoring sessions as well.

Overall, very happy with their tutoring services.

I started going to Mrs.Raji Menon's math classes in fourth grade up until ninth grade. In high…read moreschool, I excelled in math and completed all high school courses by eleventh grade. From then, I continued to math courses such as Linear Algebra at local community college. I owe all this greatly to Ms.Raji who propelled me into advanced math from a young age. For the six years Mrs Raji taught me, she consistently would introduce new topics in every class and give me a moderate amount of weekly homework which sufficiently reviewed on past topics and strengthened whatever was reviewed in class. This structured teaching style helped me learn at a rapid rate without ever resenting math. Ms.Raji's past experiences as a high school math teacher make her even more invaluable in the sense that she knows what schools are expecting and teaches with that in mind. She also taught me unique ways of approaching math in an efficient manner which paid off when I took the AMC 12 as a junior and qualified for the AIMEs in the top 1%. I would highly recommend Mrs.Raji Menon to anyone who is looking for a math class for their children.

I was typically the only student who came in-person since most students take the class remote, but being able to be in the same room as the instructor helped my motivation during class immensely. Rhya and Nicky are both so kind and knowledgeable. You can tell that they are not only experts in the language (as native speakers from the Philippines) but in pedagogy. As a community college professor myself, I admire how organized the class was and how welcoming they are. The other students in my recent class were highly motivated and excited to learn Tagalog for various reasons. Some like me grew up with Filipino parents but never learned Tagalog, while others are in relationships with Filipinos/Filipino Americans and want to engage more deeply with the community through language. Overall, SJLC has been a positive experience, and I am excited to take the next (and last) level of Tagalog 3. The current rates for Tagalog (7 weeks, weekly meeting for small group) is $399 remote, $419 in person, and $449 hybrid -- note: this is a "Prime" class, so it is priced a bit higher since the instructor is a native speaker with 5+ years of teaching experience).

The instructor that I had, Keiko is great. She is very patient and always willing to help. (The courses can be fast though depending the language and the books being used). The other people there are always very polite and helpful as well. The facility, while basic, is clean and conducive to learning. They seem to use a mix of media (e.g. slides, Quizlet, etc. which is good). FYI - it is near SJC - San Jose Int'l airport and the jets taking off can be somewhat loud at times.

Summary: I just had…read morethe one of the worst customer service experiences of my life with the Math Enrichment Director (Michael W). It all started when I called the number on the website to understand how credits transfer from Castillero Middle School, and to cancel the program if it wasn't equivalent with what the school district was offering my daughter. In summary the Math Enrichment Director Michael W. refused to provide documentation, bullied me to keep his program, then cussed me out and hung up on me without identifying himself (more details below). Through email screeds and a phone call followup he denied he was the one I talked to and told me obvious lies about his "call center" and "staff" and many other things that are too numerous to count, while repeatedly blaming me for my experience. He then found this Yelp review and emailed me a 5-page, point by point rebuttal, and threatened me with libel. Background: I called wanting clear documentation that my child would receive San Jose Unified School District (SJUSD) credits for Math Enrichment, which he refused to provide, rather telling me to go to "the FAQs on the website." My daughter attends Castillero Middle school and I wanted to understand clear documentation that this course would replace the school district's "Ramp-Up to Geometry" course, which my daughter was offered through Castillero. The Math Enrichment FAQs are vague and non-specific, and nowhere do they mention San Jose Unified. They do mention Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) but they are woefully vague on how the process works to coordinate with my daughter's school nor do they mention how they will show up on my daughter's report card. The representative did not even attempt to provide evidence, and was unable to articulate how Math Enrichment partners with SJUSD, and talked in generalities about "10 credits applied toward college" but with no additional specificity. When I told him I needed clear documentation which showed coordination with the San Jose Unified School District, he got extremely pushy, and continued to up the energy until we got into a cursing match. I asked a dozen times for him to identify himself by name, and he refused, telling me he has "been doing this for 20 years" and that I should "shut the *curse word* up" (he repeated this many times). He also would not provide the email for me to use to cancel my daughter's registration, so I had to do a Google search and navigate to their "contact us" email form and hope this was the correct method to cancel registration. I'm flabbergasted at how high-pressure and awful the experience was. Keep in mind he did NOT provide the same level of documentation which I had received from the SJUSD school district for their own summer program. I had only wanted to remove one of my daughters from the program, but, due to the abysmal customer service, the lack of professional courtesy, and the high pressure "just-trust-me" sales methods, I will be removing both daughters from the program. I refuse to support such people who use such practices. This means for each daughter I will lose $400 each (total $800) because that portion is non-refundable, but honestly I'll take that over giving them a single cent over what is in the fine print. My assessment is that this is an organization which does business by domineering parents using high-pressure sales tactics. I still don't know if it is a scam or not, or if these classes show up on high school transcripts for students attending an SJUSD school. I will definitely be logging a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about how awful the service was. Edit to add: I searched for my daughter's school in the WASC directory, and it didn't show up. This indicates the school does NOT partner with WASC, and the Math Enrichment course would not show up on her report card. Further developments: The owner emailed me after I posted this review, claiming he was not the person I talked to and that there is some kind of "call center" the calls forwarded to on the weekend. I do not believe his claim as the phone number used is registered to him personally, is clearly an iPhone using iMessage (the texts he sent from the number turned blue), the person I talked with was the same person my spouse talked to last week, and, when I was the phone with him he indicated he has "been doing this for 20 years," all of which point to the person I talked to being the owner. He did not respond when I offered to talk with him again to hear his voice and clear up any confusion. The whole thing reeks of dishonesty. Further further developments: After blatant dishonesty from Director Michael W. over email, I called back the next day using a different number. The "representative" who had the same voice I had talked to, and whom my spouse had talked to, identified himself as Director Michael. The level of dishonesty is unsettling.

I'm not surprised with the average star count of Math Enrichment on Yelp. I signed up my kids for…read morethe summer online program. It is over now and I can confidently say it was a disappointing experience. First of all, the ratio sucks. One teacher should take care of 30+ kids. It was online class, this means a lot of technical/logistic/housekeeping issues. (There is always a kid who is unmuted during the class, which I found it more unbearable as the course goes by.) Second, the teacher does not really "teach" things. They let kids solve problems for 30 mins (30 mins of silence) and then later give them the right answers. Or play some math games and then break. Read a book and then break.. Some might be okay with it, but I wasn't because it didn't meet my expectations. Lastly, they want some of the materials to be returned when the course is finished. I strongly feel that they at least should have informed us of this funky practice. After all was over, somebody emailed saying the book should be returned otherwise there will be a penalty, did not really specify why the book should be returned, which is all messy by this time. Very likely not to go back to their service...
