I have been looking for a great art teacher for my creative cat daughter for a long time. In fact I…read moretried findinf for my older daughter a while back. Schools don't always offer continuous art classes. Knowing that my kids LOVE the arts, it was a blessing to find a teacher just starting up drawing classes. Better to know that its on the WEST SIDE! The class he is starting for now is drawing. My daughter has been able to attend the 4 sessions for drawing and she has learned a lot! Each class she has been excited to come and always leave with wanting to draw more. I wish she had the same enthusiasm for violin and homework. 1st session she was able to learn the basics and she actually completed a cartoon drawing on her own. The other sessions she learned exercises that have improved her technique. I love that she enjoys it so much that we will definitely be signing up for more! As of now it is just drawing class, but in the future he plans to teach watercolor and other art styles. As a note, the class is held on the second floor and is a shared office space on other days. Its small but able to fit a class of 4. Overall, Jeff is a great and talented teacher. He interacts well with all ages. My daughter is 9 and she loves coming to class. If you have an artist, no matter what age, this is the class for them!

Our guide was great with children. First, she talked about the ranch and the horses and cows. Then she talked about the paniolo, what they wore and how they roped cows. Then we walked around and met all the animals. We started at the fishpond and all the kids got a cup full of fish food. She told us the Hawaiian names of the water fowl and we even watched a heron catch some fish! (Sorry; I forgot the Hawaiian name for heron!) Then we went on the longest and best part of the tour: petting all the animals. I'm not sure I can name them all but the highlights were a wild boar, a little brown cow, a llama, sheep, goats and a pig. In another section, there was an enclosed garden with smaller animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, tortoises and butterflies. They do birthday parties here and I would totally go for it if it weren't so far for my parents and family. But I highly recommend visiting here!

I was very hesitant to post this review, but I feel I need to share my experience because I left…read moreextremely disappointed. All the reviews online are five stars, and the website looked very promising, but the actual training fell far below my expectations. The academy recently changed its class packages to one $200 two-day course. On the first day, the instructor spent nearly the entire first hour talking about his history, who he knows, where he has worked, and how he worked his way up in the industry. While some background is understandable, we were sitting in front of a fully equipped bar, and I expected the course to be much more hands-on. He could have shared those stories while demonstrating techniques or allowing us to practice. During the second hour, we finally learned how to pour shots properly, but that was essentially the only hands-on training we received. We did not touch any alcohol, make a cocktail, or practice preparing drinks. I arrived on the second day hopeful and prepared with a list of questions. From the beginning, I specifically asked if I could learn how to make five of the most commonly ordered cocktails. I understood that he could not teach us every recipe, but I at least wanted to leave knowing the top five. Unfortunately, I did not make a single drink. The instructor continued talking for most of the class while the other student and I repeatedly looked toward the bar, hoping it would encourage him to begin the practical portion. Out of the entire two-hour class, we spent only about 15 minutes behind the bar. I understand that unlimited follow-up training is offered once students obtain a position, but I am a mother with very limited availability, and I live on the other side of the island. I cannot continuously drive into town to receive training that I expected to be included during the two scheduled class days. I came prepared to learn how to pour accurately, make common cocktails, determine the correct order for preparing multiple drinks when the bar is busy, use a point-of-sale system, and understand the basic workflow of bartending. Instead, the course felt more like a lengthy talk session than professional, hands-on job preparation. The most discouraging part is that I have been applying for bartending positions, and when I explain that I completed a bartending course but received very little practical training, people laugh and tell me I would have been better off simply working my way up. I enrolled because I believed this program would help prepare me to obtain and perform a bartending job, but it did not. I am sharing this so other prospective students understand what my experience was before spending their time and money. If you are expecting to make drinks and receive substantial hands-on practice during the advertised two-day course, I would ask very specific questions about exactly how much practical training is included before enrolling.

Our son is a very busy student athlete that needed additional help with Algebra 2 (same subject that our daughter need help with in HS). Prior to working with the tutors, he had a D for 1st quarter. By the end of the school year, he ended up with an A for his last semester, last quarter & final grade of the year!!! If it wasn't for the 3 different tutors (Jenn, Tracy & Mike) that worked together to accommodate his extremely busy schedule to fit in his once a week evening sessions, he would not have achieved earning that A. They all provided helpful tips/strategies to help him understand, prepare/study & apply it during the exam. The owner Tracy is always very quick to respond and does an excellent job coordinating with the tutors & student to fit in those sessions. We are so grateful for Quick Stars Tutoring and how much they have helped our kids. We highly recommend them for any students that need extra help & will definitely work with them again if we ever need it.

Scheduling sessions has always been easy, flexible, and consistent. They truly take the time to match students with the right tutor based on their individual needs, which reflects how professional and dedicated their team is. After taking about a year off, I noticed a slight decline in my son's study habits, which led us to enroll him again during his 8th grade year. Since returning, I have seen a tremendous improvement not only in his study habits, but also in his grades, confidence, and overall attitude toward learning. The support, structure, and encouragement provided by his tutors have made such a positive impact on his academic growth and motivation. His tutor this year, Theta, has especially helped build his confidence in math and strengthen his understanding of the material. As a result, he has received Honor Roll every quarter so far and felt much more confident taking the PSATs this year. I'm so grateful that we found Quick Stars Tutoring. Our son has genuinely enjoyed his experience and recognizes how much it has helped him academically over the years.
