Shout out to Coach Josh and Coach Colin for keeping the kids engaged and excited about learning! I really appreciate the time and care they take with their students. Grupology is a fantastic organization on so many different levels. I'd give it 6 stars if I could and I'm so glad it's part of our local community.

What can I say, Mathnasium make me smile. The team that they have assembled in house here- make…read moresure my two boys have an excellent and fun time with Math. The owner, Angie is an outstanding and experienced franchise owner who stands out with concern, education and inspiration. She knows this business model well. Her careful selection of team members clearly shows, from the center directors to the tutors themselves, everything shines. The location is immaculate and clean which is lovely, and the system they offer of learning math in terms of increasing fluency with numbers and being taught a system for breaking down problems so that you become both a fluid and fluent problem solver is a welcome game plan. I have a 4th Grader and 1st Grader here and both have gained some serious traction in math that easily translated into their respective classroosm. They have more math muscle to use! My Fourth Grader I was worried about as the work and complexity piled up in the 4th Grade. Having slipped slightly down the slope in 3rd Grade, I was concerned for what lay ahead in 5th Grade for him and felt this was a turning point, a time to dig in and so we dove in and started Mathnasium. So glad we did! It's made a real difference. FYI.. we did try Kumon several times back to back previous years and my son just didn't take with it. It's fine with a lot of his friends but for him it was a no go. This place.. he likes a lot. I think it has to do with the personal attention the tutors give here and the hands on material. Like another reviewer said it's about 1:3 ratio of tutors to students. Kids are given an assessment first which is great, and then you know where to begin. Then they work on fluency and also at their assessed skill level until they can move onto the next level, assessed both in terms of "fluency" and "grade level.) We were not so surprised to see my son initially tested in lower than his actual grade level. But in just a few short months he's risen right up and now at grade level (4th) assessment and hopefully pull into the 5th Grade level before he's actually in 5th Grade at school. So if you are on the fence about supplemental math, this is a fun place, with a nice casual atmosphere with intent.There is no homework like Kumon, so kids feel like they are done when they leave and that is great. They have punch card system with points, and points equal prizes which seems to motivate and keep festive the math education. Check em out! one last thing.. when I was a kid I fell behind in math and I never really recovered- it got to a point where i just wasn't comfortable and just struggled to get it done. My hope is to have my kids avoid this and while they don't have to LOVE math,I want them to feel confident and strong with it, so they can feel free to learn as much as they can without negative "I can't do it' feelings. Big Thank you's to all the staff, A.J., Keith , Angie, all who know my kids by name and make it fun while taking the time to make it cool to do Math. Oh.. my 1st grader! he really didn't need too much help he's only in 1st! but he insisted on joining because of big brother and how much fun it looked. It's paid dividends.. I think he is stronger and more confident and his teacher said math is one of his strongest subjects.

Chris, First of all,…read moreI just wanted to tell you a few long-awaited scores. The SAT Math II subject test I took over a month ago didn't do as well as I had hoped, but don't get me wrong, I am still pleased. In the end, I received a 670. Not a 700 but still the best score I have received thus far. Second, just about 45 seconds ago, I looked up my ACT test score that I took earlier this month. Fortunately, I finally improved my score!!! I got a 31 in English, a 30 in Math, a 31 in reading, and a 27 in science which makes my final score a 30!!! I am especially surprised about my reading and science score. Who knew I could do just as well in Reading as I did in English??? Finally, after over a year of weekly tutoring, I can't thank you enough for all your help. From countless hours of reading passages, math problems, physics concepts, Spanish conjugations, even essay editing, and occasionally a game of "geosense" or two, being tutored by you was less a boring learning session and more a fun experience and privilege. If I was ever confused about anything, you would always be clear and concise in your explanation. I have had many tutors but not many are able to teach me as well as you did. Consider teaching me a battle, and you get the gold medal. I would have never improved or done as well as I did on all my tests if it weren't for you. Going from a 1470 to essentially a 1980 is no easy task. Although it was me who took the actual tests, no student can improve as well as I did without the guidance of an amazing teacher. All in all, I owe a lot of my improvement and success to you. I really believe that without you by my side throughout the past year, I could be applying to maybe only CSM with only a chance of getting in...considering that first SAT score... A year ago, never would I have thought that I would be applying to some of the schools I am applying to today. I can't thank you enough. You are a great mentor and teacher.

We want to give Jennifer Pence our highest possible recommendation. Our high school junior worked…read morewith Jennifer to prepare for the SAT and ACT. In every way working with Jennifer exceeded our expectations. We chose Jennifer because a close friend told us Jennifer had worked with her high school students, and the students of many of her friends, and that she and her friends were very happy with Jennifer. I am very happy I followed her recommendation. Jennifer is obviously highly skilled, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and compassionate. She made a very positive connection with our student. By working one-on-one with our student she was able to effectively use her time to help where help was needed. Jennifer also gave us important advice to help us understand the entire testing process. Jennifer very effectively helped our student maximize the benefit of preparation time and maximize the test scores. Thank you Jennifer!

It was my words against their words without a written contract. The regional director told me as "doing me a favor to be down at the office to meet with me". This was a very arrogant statement. As you can imagine, after they take your money, all courtesy is out the window. My suggestion is to go somewhere else where you can don't have to buy the package in advance. This way it can ensure the quality of services that your kid receives.

ery disappointed at the management team. My kids have the Tuesday session with Philip for probably…read more2 years. All of a sudden, before the school starts, the receptionist told me that my kids can't continue the Tuesday session with Philip anymore because I didn't respond to the email they sent to me. The Tuesday spots my kids have are given to other students. However, there is nothing stated in the email that we as the parents are required to respond to the email if we want to keep the same schedule, or if we didn't respond to the email, our regular session will be given to other students. No one at the center has ever asked my kids if they want to keep the same Tuesday session or switch to a different schedule before or after their tutoring session on Tuesdays. I talked to the center director Norman wang right away, he was very angry and raised up his voice to tell me that your kids have been with Philip for 2 years on Tuesday doesn't mean that they can be with Philip on the same schedule for as long as you want?!! My kids tried to talk to the front desk this evening as well, the front desk person at c2 just told my kids that since your mom didn't respond to the email, we can do whatever we want. I have included the email they sent to me. This is really unfair. I think they treated us this way is because we purchase a big package($16k)from c2 about 2 years ago. Just be very careful parents, if you want to buy tutoring package from c2, pay attention to the hours they subtract as well. A few parents have warned me about this. I will try to talk to the district manager to resolve this issue. Will keep you guys updated as soon as I hear more from the upper management.

Can't say enough good things about Tutoring Club! When my boys had their initial assessment, I was…read moreshocked to see that neither one could tell Mr. A all the vowels in the alphabet. Fast forward 1.5-2 years later: my oldest started high school and is getting an A+ in almost every subject. My younger is now in middle school and has commented often how much the tutoring has helped in class: "I see my friends struggling with what the teacher presented today but I already knew how to do it because I learned it in tutoring". Investing in this tutoring program was worth every penny to see my kids excel in school. They are now confident and eager to learn. Big thanks to the team at Millbrae Tutoring Club!

My son started 6th grade last fall and as the months progressed, I noticed he was falling way…read morebehind in his reading and writing assignments. He was struggling as each months rolled by. And I tried to help him myself and I have tried other avenues of reading and writing programs that have not been successful for him. I have searched for many in-person tutoring sites to see which will be the best fit for him. When I was consulting with Mr A regarding my son's struggles, he knew exactly how I felt. I described in short that my son can't even write a SIMPLE descriptive christmas card is when I knew he was in trouble. When Alex got assessed , he was exactly in the level I knew he was, 3 grade levels behind. The more in depth we discussed how to get Alex Caught up and that tutoring clubs program has been successful, I truly believed this might be the help he will finally get and need. Mr A said my son has time to catch up and that their program is successful. Here we are 4.5 months later, I'd like to report that I am overwhelmed with joy to know my son has made major breakthrough in comprehension and writing. Though he still has a long way to go, but in the short time frame he's been at tutoring club, I have seen a major improvements in his comprehension, in his writing, and most importantly his self esteem. I recently read one of my sons argumentative papers and I cried happy tears. Given he still have grammatical and puntuation errors, I couldn't believe he wrote a full page essay. This has brought tears to my eyes because he couldn't even write a simple note in card without feeling frustrated. I am truly impressed and I thank you Mr A and the wonderful tutorers that have given my son their time and patience in teaching him. And my son doesn't dread attending class. They are remarkable teachers. I highly recommend Tutoring Club .
