She is very present and brings her years of experience as a teacher to each session. Our entire family loved having Judy in our home. Homework stopped being a power struggle and stressful. She assessed their skills far better than any teacher/test had been able. She focused her teaching to the "holes" and not just what their school teacher required. I believe Judy is the BEST tutor in Laguna Beach!

I have had the pleasure of working directly with the math tutors and one thing that I can say with…read morecertainty is that they are very passionate about what they do. They really put the goals of the students first. There are many unique skills that are not covered very well in school, I call them accelerated learning techniques, all of which are practiced in abundance at the Math & Science Academy. Several of my friends have had their children get expert one on one tutoring with SoCal Math Academy, and have experienced dramatic increases in their grades. It's not a fluke, rather the process they use. As a child (many years ago!), I struggled with basic algebra for years, until I had the right teacher come along. He instilled in me the right way to learn mathematics, and from that point on, I transformed from a C grade student to straight A's in math. That helped me get through college and into a great job in the technology field. You'll agree with me that math, especially in a place like California, is a subject you must master if you desire to get into a highly sought after technical area. I am not bashing the SoCal school system by any means, the teachers are some of the hardest working, yet underpaid professions in the USA. Sometimes it's the slightest changes in the environment of HOW you learn for an individual student that makes all the difference. If you or your child, like I did, struggles in a traditional classroom setting, this may be your ticket to getting top grades in math. When you experience one of the tutor's classes, that is what you will experience - a different learning environment that leverages the individual learning styles of the students. I didn't mean to write such a long review, but as a parent and one who struggled with math as a child, I fully understand how valuable having a tutor can be and the HUGE difference it make - not just in math, but also in your career. You can use these same skills in many areas of your life. To the team at SoCal Math & Science Academy, I appreciate all that you do for our children, your absolute dedication and passion for this subject is simply unlike any other. Thank you!

My daughter attended first and has absolutely thrived both socially and academically. I am always surprised when I see her course work both with how engaging the work is and how well she is completing the tasks. My 2.5yr old son just joined this last month after begging to attend and is absolutely loving it. We have noticed a big improvement in his social and behavioral development already. It's not even a question of if our 3rd will attend. Just a matter or when! To be able to drop my kids off at a place I know is safe and they are genuinely excited to go is such a huge win.

I came across Jill's service by sheer happenstance. Her business was close by. My 8-year old son…read morewas struggling with his reading. Prior to his first meeting with her, my son was in tears. An hour later, he was a very happy and excited boy. Jill knows how to assess a child's ability and determine how to proceed. My son's enthusiasm speaks for itself. Further, after working with her, it is self-evident Jill is a warm-hearted woman of integrity. She is like a great neighbor. Her heart is full of love for teaching children to read. This combination of competence, warmth and love is why she is the ideal teacher. I'm very grateful to have found her. Her fees are reasonable. The office is humble and perfect for the task at hand. It is chock full of interesting things, including some birds, which makes for an engaging and comforting space for her young students. I liked the fact there was plenty of natural sunlight. If you child needs assistance and you live in or near RSM, schedule an appointment today and let the reading begin.

If I could give this location zero stars, I would. I signed my daughter up for their summer math…read moreprogram hoping to give her a head start heading into 2nd grade. I paid their $800 fee up front, made our first appointment through their system and showed up. They had no idea who we were and why we were there. Apparently she needed to finish up her assessment which we had almost completed the first time we went to the location. We were told by the person there that Robert tends to tell parents the assessment is much shorter to complete than it is to get them into the facility. She completed the assessment during the session and while I was talking with the person there, he proceeded to shout back to another child to do their work. My daughter was so uncomfortable the entire time she was there, and once I witnessed this interaction, there was no way I felt comfortable with her attending. I emailed the location and explained my experience and asked for a refund since no services had been rendered - only the initial assessment. I received a phone message from Robert stating we would be refunded yet after another 6 weeks, we still saw no credit on our account. I contacted them again and then received an e-mail from Robert that our refund request had actually be declined by 'ownership' and he offered to put a credit towards 1:1 tutoring or their school year program. I told him tutoring during the school year does not work for us because our daughter is highly involved in sports and there's no room in her schedule once her fall season starts and requested the owners' direct contact information. I received another voicemail message from Robert stating again that my refund request has been declined and my only way forward is to call my credit card company and ask for a charge back from the facility. What absolutely terrible customer service. Now I'm still fighting with them for a refund and again asked for the owner's contact information which I still have not been provided. I even called the number and received an answer from a call center and they too would not provide it. I would caution anyone looking to sign your child up you give it good thought. Once you pay them, you will NOT get your money back regardless of your experience.
