It is with great pleasure and gratitude to share that our son was accepted at Punahou School and…read moreIolani School for the year 2024-2025! He's never shown any interest in attending these schools and once he said he was, we signed him up for a 5 week Summer program prior to the October '23 SSAT. He looked forward to every session with his language arts and math tutors. Upon completion of the 5 week program, Karen was able to identify any areas he would need to strengthen. Additional bi-weekly sessions in September and a one time interview prep finalized his preparation to take the SSAT just one time! It is without a doubt the tutors were instrumental in preparing our son in every aspect of the SSAT, writing, and in his interview. Thank you for strengthening his confidence throughout the process and in his academics at his current school and wherever he ends up going (we have yet to decide). Mahalo, A very satisfied parent of a 6th grader

My husband and I were looking for a place to get my daughter to understand math better so we…read moredecided to check out Mathnasium. We thought Mathnasium would be perfect because it was in a great location really close to my mom. My daughter is staying with my mom half a day during the summer. I called one day and no one answered. I didn't leave a message or anything but soon after someone called me back. It was pretty great. Erin explained all about their program and how they can help students get better at math. She said they were running summer specials and said that we could check it out and get a free assessment for my daughter. We decided to come check it out that Saturday. We came in around 10:30am. The parking can be hairy. They have two parking locations but at first we only knew of the one. The one we knew of was up a ramp. That parking has maybe five stalls and they were all full. My husband just dropped us off. Later I went outside to tell him where the other parking was but it was so tight in the lot that I had to guide him to get out and down the ramp. Meanwhile, inside, my daughter was doing her math assessment with one of the teachers. I waited for a little bit and soon she came out with the teacher and her assessment. The teacher talked more about their program and their specials and what they would do to help my daughter. They have a rewards program also. So if they complete their work they can save up and get some really good prizes from their prizes shelf. They even do a monthly drawing for up to $50 for a student. I liked several things about this program and the staff are super friendly. But in the end we decided to choose a different program for my daughter. But this is definitely some place that you should check out if you're child needs extra math help.

Amanda offers a lot of specialized care and not only teaches children awesome learning techniques, but she's also great with children. She's very nurturing, smart and knows how to work well with children of all ages. I definitely recommend trying Phonics Fanatics!

When his 2nd grade teacher said he wasn't testing at grade level, we knew we had to do something. We looked at other tutoring services, but Sylvan's reputation drew us in. We have been doing 2 hours of math tutoring a week for about 4 months now, and he's so much more confident and comfortable doing math. He's able to complete his math homework with little assistance. And when I review it, there are very few corrections that need to be made. He's able to keep up with his classmates and complete his class work in the time allotted. He likes his teachers and looks forward to saving his tokens for spend at the Sylvan store. I love getting regular progress updates. Everyone who works there is very pleasant and professional. It's easy to reschedule lessons if something comes up. As pleased as I feel with his progress, his report card after one quarter really told the difference. His math grades are up in every measurable way. We're so happy with his progress, we're starting reading tutoring to make sure he is ready for 3rd grade. I'll say this...it's not cheap. But so far it's been worth the investment to have less tears and frustration at homework time. I no longer dread our evenings and that's priceless.

When we tried to cancel, the program director, Debbie, was extremely rude. She said that we signed up for one year, which my husband and I were not aware of. When I explained that we only intended to try it out, she cut me off and said that "try" is not in their vocabulary. She then proceeded to accuse me of not knowing how to make a commitment and told me "good luck and I hope that you can learn to be a good role model for your son." I nicely asked if she was implying that I was not a good role model, at which point she asked me to put my husband on the phone. She wanted to make sure the refund for next month's tuition went to HIM and not to me. We still have two weeks left of classes that we paid for, which we clearly do not feel welcomed to join. This was not the first time she was rude to me either. When I brought my son to his second class, he clung to me and didn't want to go in. Debbie looked at my son and said "what's the matter, does mommy spoil you?" The program itself is okay. They claim to assess your child and teach them at their skill level rather than age or grade. However, after our initial assessment, the director said my son was advanced but that they would start him at his age level anyway. He can add, subtract, and multiply yet they started him with tracing numbers 1-10. I assume this is to keep you in the program for longer so that you pay more. The program consist of workbooks that the students do independently for 30 mins a class 2x a week plus workbooks for homework. The instructors don't teach the kids, but they are there to help. In my opinion, this is not worth $150 a month. The program probably works well for some, but it wasn't for us.
