I couldn't be more impressed with their level of professionalism. My niece had a particularly difficult situation. After losing her father two hears ago, we noticed a steady decline in her grades at school. After a year as a C student trying to tutor at home we realized we needed a professional to help her understand the material. Applerouth created a unique learning plan and was able to connect with her on a level we never could! She is now bringing in an A- average, and we couldn't be happier. She's making friends, and is actually excited to go to school. I wholeheartedly recommend Applerouth to anyone who may find themselves in our situation, or for anyone who may just need a bit of help.

After a few weeks of attempting to study for the test on my own, I made the same choice many in my position do, and I reluctantly signed up for a very expensive class. Ultimately, this turned out to be a great decision. The Good: James, the Atlanta instructor, is why this review gets five stars. He is fantastic. He teaches the required curriculum, but then he goes beyond that and helps students understand the test, the best guessing strategies, and even those pesky math fundamentals that I have not used since high school. What I feel set this class apart from experiences my peers have had with other companies, is that James was always available. Even 4 months after the class, when I it was Steve vs. the GMAT, round II, I still got help with my GMAT questions via email. The online tutorial sessions are also fantastic. You can use them to supplement your in class and at home work, and ensure that you stay on track. What I liked most about them, is that they tended to be very personalized. The attendance was low, so it was typically a 3:1 ratio, which provided a very interactive learning environment. My only complaint about the class, is that they don't have a very solid "guarantee." After my first try at the test, I needed more help, and though James was available to answer specific questions, and the online materials were at my finger tips, I would have appreciated a chance to sit for more live classes. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend MGMAT to anyone.

I was honest and basically said I didn't think he was very good. They cancelled my remaining classes with that instructor, apparently the instructor said I was argumentative and a bunch of BS that was not true AT ALL. Complete lies. They also sent an e-mail to my boss, who was paying for the training, telling them lies about how I was disrupting the class and etc. The class was all virtual, I had hoped it was all recorded WHICH IT SHOULD BE IF ITS VIRTUAL, that is an easy thing to do, keeps everyone accountable, and allows students to rewatch trainings. However, no, it was not recorded so it was just my word vs the instructor and I could not prove otherwise. In short, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY. Use someone else. Not only are they bad teachers but they lied and went out of their way to smear me to my boss.

I knew this was going to be an online course, but I did not expect to have such great communication and feedback from Stuart. Any time a question was asked, he would break down the logic of our thinking to determine why we thought what we thought and he would explain the correct answer, explain how he thinks we got to our answer (most of the time he was correct), then he would tell us the fallacy in our thinking. But he somehow did it so that you could learn on your own without just having to give you the answer. I would highly recommend Stuart Park, and I plan on retaking the course. It was a pleasure!

However, I feel I would be doing both myself and the community a disservice if I wasn't honest about what we encountered. Within just one week of attendance, our concerns grew. We collected our 1-year-old son twice to find him in dirty diapers, and the general cleanliness of the facility was lacking. While the teachers seemed genuinely invested, the high child-to-caregiver ratio likely led to these oversights. Alarmingly, we witnessed young children being placed in timeout, a practice not allowed for their age in GA. When we raised concerns, especially after paying $3,000 for that week, the daycare dismissed us claiming they were very clear upfront about setting expectations. (We clearly expected more from them than they did of themselves.). Eventually the daycare stopped answering our questions. Parents, please think carefully before choosing Little Miss Sunshines playhouse.

They could not reach his father so they called me, and I was at work. The owner John Fudge proceeds to tell me that my son has been crying uncontrollably since he was dropped off (at that time it had been about 40 mins), that he has a bump on his head, it's unusual for him to act like this, and that I may need to take him to the doctor to have him checked out. My response was a bump? I didn't see a bump on his head this morning, his father took him to school and he didn't see one either so I say okay, If I can't reach his father to come back and get him I will pick him up. I ended up picking him up and they have me sign a document called a statement of illness. It claims they saw bruises on him and the bump on the head. I walk in the room to get him, he isn't crying anymore, I see the bump on his head and I say to the teacher that it looks like a mosquito bite. He also had 3 mosquito bites on his right leg from being outside the night before. The teacher looks at me with this blank look and says nothing. I tell my son, lets go. I call his doctor on the way home to make an appointment for him to come in that same day, even though I don't think anything is wrong, just to cover my bases because I felt like they were documenting this in a way that sounded really bad and they have never documented his illness before. I picked up up a little before 11 am. I take him to the doctor at 2 pm, they acknowledge that they are indeed mosquito bites and that he seems to have an allergic reaction to them, that accounts for the redness and swelling. He also had no bruises anywhere on his body, only mosquito bites. Before I could get out of the doctor's office I'm getting phone calls from a number I don't recognize. I check my voicemail and it's Cobb County DCFS. I call them back and the lady says she has to see me in person and check on my son because of the case that has been opened on me. I lost it! I started crying, then I got angry, then I got scared. She was very understanding and said I had every right to feel the way I felt. She wouldn't tell me details of the complaint over the phone but I knew it was the school! I just could not believe they went to that extreme before even getting an explanation for anything! So I went back to the doctor crying ridiculously and informed them that they reported me to DCFS. They just shook their heads and gave me enough documents to show to the case worker and said it should be fine. We had to have a visit from DCFS that same day and the first thing she said when she saw my son was she could not believe they reported this to them. She said they would close the case but we are still in the system and went through an ordeal that could have been avoided with proper communication. Also, the case worker said the person who reported the incident said my 2 year old son who can't string together a full sentence told them daddy put the bump on his head. We asked him what happened to his head and his answer switched 3 times! Needless to say we removed him from this school. Check the pictures, below, all bug bites they said were bruises. Of course they defended their decision to make that call based on the laws of mandated reporters but even a mandated reporter should have some common sense and communicate with the parents before making that decision. They had 24 hrs to report suspected abuse, they did not even give me the opportunity to explain anything. No one was there to talk to me when I went to pick him up, just here, sign this form. No one told me that they had questioned him and he said his dad did it, even though when his dad dropped him off he didn't start crying until they took him out of his arms. He did not want to stay. The police don't question children without a parent being present so how are they able to do it? Also, if you really think a child is being abused, you call the supposed abuser to come and pick him up? I may not be familiar with some things but I still feel like they escalated this far beyond what was necessary and my child has never had any problems period! So send your child there if you want to but make sure you document everything so if your child goes to school with a bump or cries excessively you can have all your ducks in a row. This incident was enough for me to lose trust in their decision making when it comes to my child. I would forever be on edge sending him there worried that they might see something minor and report it just because they can (oh i'm sorry, because they have a suspicion, even though there has never been any indication of abuse). My son is a daredevil and I am thankful mosquito bites and an occasional cold are all I have had to deal with so far. I am also glad I had sense enough to take him to the doctor and have documentation backing me up!
