They created a wonderfully supportive and encouraging environment for our kids that reduced anxiety and stress and enabled our kids to take full advantage of the support they were being given.

Ms. Orta and her team, on the other hand, not only provide individual instruction but also teach students important study skills that will benefit them beyond the doors of middle school. For teenagers (and parents) who are having a challenging time with organization and focus, this House will surely help. In addition, the atmosphere is comfortable: students do their work in a home-style setting, eat healthy snacks, and interact with a collaborative community. Plus, students get to actually play outside - without the distractions of mobile devices. Ms. Orta's House is truly a San Mateo gem.

Our daughter loves going to Mathnasium and is always excited to attend. This is a huge reversal…read morefrom her prior experience at a prior after-school math program, which left her uninterested and feeling ignored. She loves the tutors at the Laurelwood center and frequently tells us all about how much fun she has had with them. We also appreciate the relative similarity between Mathnasium's curriculum and that of the local public schools. This helps the kids either practice what they're learning at school, or if they get ahead of their grade level, use their school work as a reinforcement for things learned at Mathnasium.

When my daughter started with Mathnasium, Angie knows exactly how and what area to focus on. A detail plan was given and surly my daughter progress beautifully. With just two hours a week for the past year, my daughter is all caught up and started to enjoy math. The best part is there is no homework and I no longer need to figure out which and why a particular area in math is troublesome for my daughter. My daughter tells me that she "needs" to go to Mathnsaium otherwise, math does not make sense for her. I highly recommend it and could not be happier.

We are incredibly happy with our experience at Huntington Learning Center. Our first grader was…read morestruggling with reading and I felt lost in terms of how best to support her. She just couldn't seem to focus and was falling behind. In the 4 months since we started, I have seen great improvement in reading skills, but most importantly, an increase in her confidence and reading is less of a battle with us. She is happy to be there, loves her tutor, and most importantly, enjoys reading. More recently we have had to switch to online tutoring given the Shelter-in-place order. I was very worried that our successes would come to a halt. It took some adjusting but the tutors and center have been creative in finding ways to keep her engaged and focused during our video sessions. We have our good days and our not so good days when my daughter is less engaged, but the best is when she tells her sister about how fun Huntington is.

The way schools are teaching math today differs from how we learned many years ago. It can be frustrating for parents and grandparents to help with this new math. Our granddaughter likes her tutor and doesn't complain about going to tutoring and having someone else explain concepts (even though we wish the school that we pay for did a better job at this). A tutor can take the frustration away from us and our granddaughter which helps her to be more open to learning. Huntington has been flexible when a schedule change is necessary. Additionally, it is nice to see how our granddaughter has improved when we meet with Huntington for her progress reports. Admittedly, it is not inexpensive, but our hope is that it will give her the confidence and foundation to be successful in math in the future. Thank you to Geetanjali and Casey.

He is learning a lot with Anuja and he really likes her. He leaves every session feeling more confident and proud of himself. It is worth the price knowing that my son is building confidence and setting the foundation for the next 12 years of his school life. And update: My son said "I like learning at the learning center better than my school" and he attends one of the best school in this entire region. So that was pretty exciting to hear how happy he is here..! He really enjoys Anuja!!

Stating pure facts in a timeline format, in case C2 tries to disguise the issue…read more On 9/28/23, we reached out to C2 to extend my son's hours, to use them for SAT prep in 2024. On 9/29/23, we received written confirmation that the hours were extended. On 8/28/24, we reached out to C2 to use those hours that were extended. We were informed that the hours had expired in 12/23. We showed them proof of their written confirmation from their center director. We waited around 2 weeks for a resolution. Eventually our messages were ignored. Sign that contract and buy those hours at your peril. Stay away and find an honest tutoring company.

His organization and the information he provides about all of the schools are amazing and reduced the stress of having to research all of the small things for each school I was interested in. The way he guided me to write the essay was efficient and saved me a lot of time as I didn't have to write the same essay for another question that was similar to the last. I was able to finish my essays by August. It was a big relief and the whole process seemed very manageable with his help. His ability to provide fluidity in my writing and his knowledge of college admissions helped me especially because my writing was "impenetrable" or difficult for someone who didn't know me to understand. Besides the support he gave me with essays, he was also very easily accessible and understanding. I had his number and if there was anything that came up in the way of a meeting, I could just text him and I got a response in less than an hour. Any rescheduling of a meeting was simple and caused no trouble. Chris is a very straightforward person and gave me the support and advice I needed to write my essays. He is also pretty funny and a down-to-earth person which helped as meetings didn't come as something I didn't want to do. Chris was a great college counselor and I recommend him as his understanding of the application process and his ability to tutor and write were a great help.

Chris helped calm my nerves during the entire process. Chris is patient and has a unique talent of channeling your talents with the best possible outcome. He reassured me that my uniqueness had value. He got me talking about my achievements, made me feel proud, and helped me coalesce my thoughts into an essay that won me acceptance to Cal. In fact, after my acceptance into Cal, the admissions team asked if they could publish my personal statement to help other prospective students. Out of thousands of applications, they remembered mine! I highly recommend Chris for anyone who struggles to put their thoughts to paper for a personal statement. Thanks to Chris, my life trajectory changed in ways I never imagined. Chris has also tutored me in other areas such as Math and Writing. Learning never ends and Chris is unceasingly helpful in all aspects of my life. He is the most incredible writer I have ever met. I also plan on using Chris' services when I enter the work force after college. Meticulously written cover letters, resumes and thank you notes will put you above the rest. Thank you Chris.
