We have utilized Lafayette Academy's services for ten years (possibly more). Their centers are…read morestaffed with experienced and knowledgeable tutors who can assist with tutoring in all academic areas along with ACT and SAT test prep, exam crams and more. I have two girls, who benefitted greatly over the years from their services. From middle school work to college level courses (they even helped my daughter who attended Cal Berkeley with her Business Statistics Course and my other daughter's Chemistry Course through San Diego State) Lafayette Academy had the appropriate staff on hand to assist with all of their needs. Their success can be attributed to the owners. The owner Mark B. with whom I conversed with regularly, is involved in his business and takes great care to ensure his clients are provided with excellent service. He and his staff are responsive and always have found the right fit for our daughters to ensure their academic success. I highly recommend Lafayette Academy! Simply put..they are the best! Aimee P.

We've had a great experience with Matt for my high school son's geometry class. He has been…read moreexcellent at explaining concepts in a way that really makes sense. My son's math teacher at school sometimes explains things in a way that confuses him, but Matt is able to break everything down clearly and make sure he truly understands the material. He's also been very flexible with scheduling, which we really appreciate with a busy high school schedule. Most importantly, my son genuinely likes working with him and feels much more confident in geometry because of the extra help. We're very grateful for Matt's support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a patient, effective math tutor.

Most recently, our younger daughter was initially reluctant to try tutoring. However, after receiving a disappointing grade on an Algebra II test, she decided it was time to get some extra help. She worked incredibly hard and earned a hard-fought C in the first semester. By the end of the second semester, she had achieved an A on her final exam and finished the class with an A overall! The experience has been excellent beyond the academics as well. Scheduling appointments and making changes is simple and hassle-free. Their communication is outstanding--professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Most importantly, the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend!

Tutor/student desks are very crowded, requiring tutor and student to sit side by side with…read moreshoulders practically touching. I had explicitly asked that the tutor help my high schooler with study skills that would help her with all classes, biology in particular. During the first session the tutor just asked my daughter what she wanted to work on. Not having worked with a tutor, she wasn't sure what to ask for, especially as it was the beginning of the semester so she had no homework for biology. They chatted for about 20 minutes, but not about study skills. Then the session was ended early since my daughter didn't have anything else to ask for, even though I had been required to pay for a full session beforehand. Study skills were never discussed. Also the tutor told my daughter that she (the tutor) didn't have much background in biology and was more of a physics tutor. All around disappointing. The owner did follow up with me directly after I complained and asked for a refund. He listened patiently, acknowledged that the requested focus on study skills had been a miss and apologized for the poor experience. His handling of the situation is why I gave a 2 star instead of 1 star.

"It takes a village to raise a child" and Lafayette Academy was a part of that village in our…read morehousehold. Weekly tutoring, college counseling, and ACT/SAT prep is why our three children attended Lafayette Academy from the beginning of high school through graduation. The math tutoring was the "extra" they needed to thoroughly grasp the lessons and excel on their tests. In addition, Kathy and Mark Bressler made college planning and ACT/SAT prep successful for our kids by keeping them on track and motivated. Our children attended UC Berkeley, UC Davis and Saint Mary's College; the latter two awarded large academic scholarships. We know they would not have had that level of success without the Bresslers' knowledge, dedication and experience, in partnership with their team of professional tutors at Lafayette Academy.

We is a young 1st grader, a middle child, and had been in a french school environment, so it was not a surprise for anyone. The teacher didn't think we needed to seek outside help just yet, but I decided to see how a session with Christine went anyways. We got into a routine and have been seeing her weekly for the past 6 months. My son LOVES Christine days!! And.. he is now beyond 1st grade reading level. More importantly, he is confident with his reading and really enjoys it. Thank you Christine!!
