Since our kids go to an elementary school with a no homework policy, we also wanted to build the daily practice of doing homework in preparation for the transition when they will eventually have school homework (because I've heard from parents how much of a struggle that is). We started because our oldest had an affinity for learning and he really wanted to read. We knew that it was time to put him in Kumon, because I used to work with hundreds of students of all age ranges and what I would see is a lack of a strong foundation in their math and reading. We knew that Kumon's structured learning curriculum and individualized lesson planning would ensure that our kids would have a strong foundation with no holes. We were right. Our oldest learned all his sounds, built phonemic awareness, and was reading books by the time he turned five years old. Now he's in 2nd grade and working three years above his grade level in math. He has gained strong mental math ability through his daily practice with Kumon, and it amazes us how quickly he can work with large numbers and process multiple steps in his head. Our youngest is completely different from his sibling. It takes him a lot longer to learn a new concept. Thankfully the Kumon program is designed for kids like him too who need more repetition and the lesson plans are individualized to his learning ability. He continues to progress forward while making sure there are no gaps in his learning. Nikita has been a great partner in ensuring both of our kids are working at their own individualized pace. The Kumon program not only has helped our kids gain a strong foundation, but it has also taught them a growth mindset. With each new concept, our kids now know to expect it to be challenging and it will take longer to finish their work. However, with daily practice they see that the work gets easier, their times get faster, and that's when they know that they are in the process of mastering the new concept. We recommend Kumon to all of our friends whether it's for enrichment or for helping their kids catch up. Kumon's structured linear curriculum is its secret sauce to building a strong foundation that will set up any student for success.

Ive spent countless hours over the last couple of months searching for a tutor for my 9th grade son. I think I interviewed 6-7 private tutors and one other well known tutoring center.

Marissa was very welcoming, knowledgeable and thoroughly explained all of the different tutoring options available for my son. She also spent a good amount of time giving me a tour of the facility and even introduced me to some of the teachers. All of them seemed really happy to be working there. And all of the teachers and tutors are highly qualified - Not just someone looking for a part time gig or side hustle. Another thing that really impressed me was that I didn't feel like "just a number" - but instead felt like they really cared about my son's academic success. Fusion is a bit more expensive than other tutoring centers and private tutors but to me they are totally worth their fee! Also if you purchase a tutoring "package" the per hour cost decreases which I found helpful.

My biggest three gripes were that we were watching younger kids come into the class and we essentially became the co-trainers. My son was so bored he just goofed off and didn't listen anymore because he could already do everything at that level since he'd been in the same class for over a year. We had asked her and she said she could move him up but she had to find spots in her other classes and she kinda seemed like she preferred the parent staying because it would be less work for her. Which goes to my next gripe that the other families in our time had been with us since the beginning! Yet she was willing to move all of our times, while they were still infants, to their nap time but she couldn't find time to transition them to swim by themselves. Since going, we've had the time changed 4 times all on Saturday. As any parent can attest to, messing around with nap times is a huge PITA. You could make the argument that she was being cautious not letting him swim without his mom because she felt he wasn't ready. However, he had been swimming without my wife for over a year already. We had been going to another swim school because she stated there weren't any slots open and weren't seeing much progress with her. The last complaint I have is that we never got what we paid for. The class started 10 minutes late and ended 5 minutes early. For a 30 minute class that's essentially half the class she spent chatting with the class prior, snacking, or ending it so she could snack. That's very unprofessional and should be something she baked into her schedule versus taking time in the class.

At 63 years of age, I closed my business of 32 years as an electrical contractor, moved to Orange County, CA and made a career change to become a licensed realtor. I checked out the reviews for a number of on-line schools and found that most had a lot of negative reviews of different types.....except Duane Gomer. So I called them. After a short but direct phone conversation which answered all of my questions, I signed up with their program. I received my books within a few days. The course materials and study guides are direct and to the point. After completing the required three courses and printing out my certificates, I was ready to prepare for my exam. Duane Gomer includes a live one day exam prep class with the program that will help prepare you for your exam. I took that class on a Saturday and passed my exam the following Friday. What is great about Duane Gomer is that when you have a question, you can always reach and speak to a live person by phone during normal business hours. I took advantage of this during my courses. I was able to reach Duane on the phone regarding one issue that he resolved on the spot. I am very happy and satisfied with my overall experience with Duane Gomer and will do my continuing education with the school moving forward. Also the cost of the program is very reasonable and worth every penny. AAA+++ to Duane Gomer!!! read more

That sold me on the companies morals because I tried to get credit from a hotel room that I booked as well so I would be closer to the exam facility and be fresh the morning of and when I told them what happen as far as the cancellation of my DRE test and that was the main reason I was staying at the hotel, they said sorry but they can't credit me OR give my money back.

I had zero knowledge before coming in. Not only the class gave me hands-on real life trading experience (with paper money of-course), it gave me a really good refresher and new insights into reading trends correctly and setting the entry and exits correctly. Day 4, was brutal and I was feeling lost and clueless... But on day 5, things suddenly fell in place. I learnt two valuable lessons, that I was missing in my understanding. This goes to show, that having the company of experts in any field multiplies our effectiveness. I have asked dozens of questions and gotten satisfactory answers. The instructors are not giving the fish but teaching us how to fish. I am truely grateful to have this available. The fee will pay itself many times over, if you are passionate and committed to learn, be challenged and mend your ways (the last one is esp. hard for me!). Thank you Jordan, Joohong, Seema and everyone else on the staff!

Then in the chat someone said session canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. So there's no backup teacher and they have no idea until 15 minutes after the supposed class start time that this wasn't going to happen! So unprofessional no way I'm signing up with this BS.

The SAT course seems to be designed to help students bring their scores up to the 1300s and it may…read morewell do a good job of that. Our group of students were scoring 1400s on test exams and were looking to increase scores into the 1500s. This program did not do that. Our children started out strong, but none of our children improved over the course of the program and that was not addressed by Princeton Review. I am feeling a bit embarrassed that I recommended this program to other parents because it is expensive and their children didn't get much out of it. That reminds me: I don't think I ever received the promised Amazon gift cards for referring other students. Not 100% sure of that though. I do think that the in-person class (which my child took) is better than their online class.

I can't say enough about Greg - he's obviously effective, but he also achieves the elusive balance of being realistic AND inspiring. His successes and the depth of his experience would be reason enough to send your kids to him, but he's also just a great person who can read your kids and come up with great suggestions for them (what angle/theme to take throughout high school, what colleges would be a good fit, ideas for essays, etc.) I can't recommend him highly enough.

The service is excellent, with great counselors and highly knowledgeable staff members who have…read morebeen very thorough. They helped my older son significantly in finding his way to a great college, and we're now utilizing their services again for our second child.

I did a lot of research and decided to sign up with Shellee a few months ago. My son's advisor is Debra and I am very pleased with what I have seen so far... both Shellee and Debra are super knowledgeable with the college planning process and they help my son to pick the colleges that suit him and help him stand out in front of the admissions. All these planning are going to help my son be ready this fall when the college application process begins! In addition, they have a database with every college application related subject that u can think of to help u navigate the process. They have other professionals that they work with to help your child succeed. Highly recommend Shellee and her team!

Shellee had such a great way of connecting with my daughter, often with teenagers it's hard to get them to hear what you are saying, and Shellee definetly speaks "teenager", I was amazed at how my daughter really heard her, and was taking in all of Shellee's guidance. We couldn't be happier, thank you for working with Macy!

She was able to bring her ACT score up from 23 to 34 and then did PSAT prep with them and scored in the top 3%. Her ACT and PSAT prep went so well that we went back to AR for help on her AP exams. Their AP series helped her get ahead with her studying, she ended up scoring 5s on 4/5 of the exams and a 4 on her other one. She studied her butt off but we still have to thank Michael for helping set up a perfect game plan and coordinating the program with her tutors Emily and Victoria. They helped her ACT score jump by 11 points. We are so grateful for their team, couldn't have done it without them!
