Kumon University City gets an A+ in my book. My kids did Kumon for elementary school and middle…read moreschool. Our oldest was just accepted to Stanford, Dartmouth, and all the UCs; gets to choose from a great list of elite universities. We attribute it to Kumon because it directly helped our kids develop academic self-confidence, excel at math and reading, and prepare them for the SAT. Madoka is a fantastic teacher. Her teaching experience and care for her students is what makes the UTC location shine. My husband and I are so glad we chose Kumon vs private school for our kids because it has paid off in spades. I cannot recommend this enough. We initially started in Kumon years ago because our oldest was struggling to read. At the time, we were very worried because she was behind other kids in the same grade. Fast forward to high school graduation, and we couldn't help but notice that our high school valedictorian also did Kumon, and at Senior awards it was like a Kumon reunion. I don't think it's a coincidence that the highest achievers came from Kumon. If you're on the fence, I recommend you give it a try and stick with it.

We sought out Learning Convergence with Therese when my son was struggling with reading in 1st…read moregrade, and I'm so grateful we did. She came highly recommended by a family member, and although we were on a waitlist for a while, it was absolutely worth it. Over the course of about 9 months, Therese worked with my son and made an incredible difference. She was patient, knowledgeable, and truly understood how to support him in a way that built both his skills and his confidence. By the end of our time with her, he had not only improved tremendously but was reading at his grade level. I can't thank Therese enough for the impact she's had on my son's learning journey. Highly recommend Learning Convergence to any family needing reading support!

** FROM STRUGGLE TO HONOR ROLL THANKS TO THERESE **…read more We turned to Therese FitzRandolph after our son finished sixth grade. At the time, it was clear he was struggling with reading comprehension and test-taking. Therese met with us in person and completed a detailed assessment. For the first time, we had a clear picture of what he needed and how he learned. They met twice a week for 50-minute sessions throughout the next school year. Therese used storytelling, repetition, and verbal cues within a structured approach that gave him tools to follow a narrative, retain detail, and speak with clarity. Their final project was the recitation of a five-paragraph story. She read it aloud once. He took notes, reconstructed it in writing, and repeated the full story back to her word for word. This was not a monologue he had practiced for weeks. It was a cold read, a memory exercise, and a comprehension challenge all at once. He accomplished it through steady work and patient, consistent guidance. As the year unfolded, his confidence grew. His reading improved, and his understanding deepened across subjects. His test scores now place him above grade level. Our son earns honor roll grades, thinks through material carefully, asks questions, and speaks with insight. While many students focus on test prep and recall, he learned to engage in real analysis and deeper comprehension of the material. Therese helped our son step into his own mind. Her approach met him where he was and made space for his strengths to emerge. He enters high school with a stronger foundation, a clearer voice, and the belief that he can succeed. We are deeply grateful.

My son has been working with Ms Gabby and Ms Claire and I have seen how his math skills and confidence has improved. His testing scores have also improved since joining. Hes been at Mathnasium for over a year (started in 3rd Grade..currently in 4th Grade) but in the first 3 months his math skills have changed. He can initiate his homework now and he has a better attitude toward his work. Thank you for giving me peace of mind and helping my son to be the best version of himself when it comes to learning math. It's not worth losing your mind, spilling tears when trying to help your kid learn math skills that you haven't used in over 20 years. Mathnasium teaches this generation's math concepts. Why stress both you and your child when you have this program to guide them.

WOW! What a difference a summer at Mathnasium can make! My rising fourth grader attended 25…read moresessions and, in that time, she went from being a kid who wasn't sure she liked math very much to being a kid who considers math to be one of her favorite subjects. This school year, we've seen a huge difference in her confidence level as she can now can zip through problems with ease. It's made doing homework after school so much easier. Some days she doesn't have math homework at all because she can finish it before the end of the day (which never happened before Mathnasium). All of this is thanks to the fantastic Mathnasium team. They were incredibly helpful and supportive and customized a plan that was specific to the areas she needed to work on. They have a fun prize system that was very motivating as well. You will be truly amazed by the speedy progress your child makes here. I highly recommend it.

Posted on behalf of my daughter Harley:…read more I've been going to Mathnasium for a while now, and I've got to say, it's really awesome! The instructors there are super friendly and they always make me feel comfortable, no matter how tricky the math problems are. They're always ready to help me out and explain things in a way that makes sense to me. It's cool how they don't just give me the answers, but help me understand the concepts behind the problems. I'm definitely getting better at math because of them. Plus, the environment is really welcoming, which makes learning a lot more fun!

This is my second review of IKP. Now that we have been there almost a year, I figured it was time…read morefor an update. We continue to be very happy here and have recommended it to everyone we know with young kids who are looking for quality child-centered care. Most of the classrooms are at or near capacity, mostly because of word of mouth. The program has grown a bit over the last six months and the center has continued to attract great staff to ensure their low ratios stay intact. They also just promoted one of their teachers to serve as Assistant Director, which will help ensure that there is an admin person onsite at all times. Our son continues to be very happy here. He brings home great arts and craft projects several times a week. I love that they go on field trips. And their emergent type curriculum always keeps things fun an interesting for him. They are offering a summer camp program for school-age children, so we are planning to enroll our older children in that for a few weeks to make things super easy for logistics and drop-off'/pickup.

The only downside to this place is the price. It is a little pricey compared to the neighborhood preschool. With this struggling economy, it would be really hard to afford their tuition.

I engaged Vince about 4 months into my GRE prep. Prior to working with Vince, I had worked with one…read moreother tutor that was much too formulaic in his approach to the test. Vince tutored me via Zoom. His remote setup enabled us to have productive exchanges as he was equipped with technology that facilitated easy learning. I'm including this in my review because my previous tutor did not possess the necessary technology to properly conduct remote learning. More importantly, Vince worked with me to apply focus to my GRE study, directing me to the right materials--I had previously only studied 3rd party material. He also helped me to stay on track with weekly study plans that matched my time commitment. In our 90 minute tutoring sessions, we spent our time mostly discussing verbal topics. Most valuable was that verbal discussions with Vince built the necessary experience that enabled me to understand how ETS presents the logic in the TC/SE questions types and what ETS is looking for when presenting their RC question types. As a native English speaker, I had to re-engineer how I read the passages and questions presented in the GRE. My tutoring sessions with Vince helped me acquire the test taking "finesse" in the verbal section that I needed to go from scoring in the 70th percentile (May 2021 test) to scoring in the 96th percentile (July 2021 test). If you have the resources, I strongly recommend connecting with Vince or at least consider taking his online Verbal GRE prep course. Finally, some general test-taking advice re: the GRE. The GRE is a game and you're there to play its 80 little puzzles. One of the best pieces of advice I got from Vince himself: "Be patient, build experience, and take your time with the test." This advice really resonated with me and I took it to heart, eventually attaining the score I wanted. So, to my fellow test taker: "Be patient, build experience, and take your time with the test."
