He helped me go from getting my first bad semester grade in AP World first semester to getting an A the 2nd semester and a 5 on the exam. He was so good that i went back to him for APUSH, helping me score straight As and a 5 on that exam as well. He personally asked me what I needed specifically to improve and gave me tons of practice resources that we went through together and i got so used to the exam question types that It helped me with every other AP I've taken since then. He truly cares about his students!

I had been thinking about putting my kid there for a while. then a sudden passing of my autistic…read morechild's father suddenly, made me postpone our first session until recently. Guess what, the Director of Lanies Learning and the school associated didn't really care about my kid learning Math. Even though it was a bit sketchy how they charged me more because I won a district settlement and charged me the "district rate" vs. the cheaper family rate, although both come with the same work involved. I questioned that at our final meeting. So here I come on the first day all the way from Piedmont to Concord, and I barely get a "hello" and no official introduction to anyone or condolences. I had to ask for a little sit down before my kid went the tutor. Then when I picked him up, I peaked at where she was having the tutoring of multi-sensory tutoring, and he was on the floor w/ many desks all around him, squished. When I brought this up to the Director in an email. She was so offended, she tore up my check she said and would give me that lesson for free. She apparently didn't like me questioning what I saw or what I expected from a "round up" after a first session. I was so excited too, but it seemed it was about conforming and not asking too many questions, than really helping my child. We since got a very amazing tutor who is amazing and trained in the exactly what he needed. I was saddened that the Director of this center and the Core Academy that it is associated with would treat a widow this way. So disappointed that they acted in such a way, after they accepted my kid, then said "he wasn't a good fit," after I had a few questions about the first session. Then to make matters worse, they let him go and tore up my check as they let me know in an email. How cruel. I really hope they don't respond, but it did happen and nothing they say, will make it ok. accept an apology.

Look no further....East Bay Prep is the absolutely the BEST ACT Prep Class!…read more The test prep course worked along with my daughter's heavy Junior/Senior year academic load, on top of their weekly test prep lessons. The team was excellent at listening, communicating and following the needs of my daughter "individually" to help her succeed. The tutoring was flexible to her competitive sport schedule, as this was also key to the demands of succeeding in academics + sport. The consistency of the team to give effective feedback & guidance so that she could understand "how" to be a good test taker was priceless and best of all she is bringing these skills test-taking skills into her AP class test-taking. Honestly parents....my daughter went from feeling anxiety with taking the ACT to a confident and smart test taker, BEYOND the ACT!!! The team at East Bay Prep is one-of-kind. Best value...best outcomes...thank you East Bay Prep!

On our first evaluation, they recommended we have my daughter's eyes checked and bingo, she had a vision deficit, that was effecting her ability to read.

Highly recommend ARC, and thankful my children went through the program.

I was looking up information on lindamood-bell for my son, since this is how I was taught 20 years…read moreago and was surprised by the reviews. My parents took me here after second grade when I still could not read and I went from a kindergarten reading level to a sixth grade reading level after a few weeks over summer. I came back to school with a better understanding of how to read, spelling, vocabulary and English in general then the kids that used to make fun of me. They gave me confidence, a sense of accomplishment, and my school took me out of the remedial reading program and put me in the gifted and talented one in third grade. They were able to help me when my school had basically given up. Many of the information still sticks with me today. After lindamood-bell I became an avid reader and now read a few books a week, my favorite hobby. The staff of that time was great and I even remember the receptionist taking me to a store nearby for some quick new clothes when I spilled chocolate milk all over myself during lunch break. After I "graduated" one of the owners gave me "the trumpeter of the swan" with a nice note to me inside. Granted this was 20 years ago but my parents often say it was one of the best ways they ever spent their money. My mother still raves about them to anyone who will listen.

They told me that they recommend 5 days a week session, 4 hours long each day. I cant imagine putting my kid in 4 hours of tutoring AFTER a full day of school. He's only 7. So I talked to them about how they would help him. They told me about the test for 300.00 that's normally 695.00. Ok, a few dollars, but doable. Then they told me that there rate 109/hr. Wait... 109/hr X 20 hrs = 2000 PER Week. Are you Kidding me. Ok, I will sell my house, car, all my possessions so you can help my kid. At this point it didn't matter. Unless you were well Heeled, this program is NOT for you. It's too bad. Maybe this program is exceptional. But unless I sell all my organs and everything I own, I can't do it. But wait, then I would be dead anyways. I wonder if they sold Real Estate before this... Shocked and wondering when people who care for kids above money will ever come forth?

My son's math teacher at school sometimes explains things in a way that confuses him, but Matt is able to break everything down clearly and make sure he truly understands the material.
