I was researching a Cantonese tutor for my daughter and was extremely lucky to find Yun. Most…read moretutors only do Mandarin and even she hadn't been asked to do Cantonese ever, but she is an excellent tutor and was able to make a program that my 5 year old daughter could follow along to. She apparently focuses on math and sciences tutoring along with Chinese. But she is great working with my kid. I can't recommend her enough, her pricing and value at excellent. Also she'll come to your house (if nearby and accessible) or you can meet her anywhere. We did a session in a coffee shop, and in good weather at a bench in a park. She dealt with my daughter patiently even on days she really wasn't into going to tutoring after a whole day of kindergarten...

After only 3 months enrolled in the program my daughter had moved from below grade level to slightly above. And it was noticeable on her homework assignments. And just another 6 months later she was a whole grade level above her school mates. Now she is on the honor roll nationwide of all the Kumon centers and hope that this trend continues. Most of the staff there are patient with the kids and will let you know when your child is in a rut and not doing as well.

Granted the work is getting harder so my child isn't going to be flourishing as quickly as before but I do see that they take their time with her and focus on her trouble spots until she's comfortable to move on. Kumon takes dedication on both the parent and the child and if you're not committed I don't recommend this program for you. There's going to a lot of checking up on the work, vacations where you have to take the work with you because its year round learning. I've definitely seen the progress in my child with the program and I've seen the difference in the approach with this center. The Director is real nice and know his stuff - he used to be a math teacher and I've seen him a few times during class hours and he's very attentive with everyone. If you're looking for your child to excel both in their work and independently then this definitely the right program and location for you.

Not only does…read moreit fill in the gaps of the educational system that our children are apart of, but it also gives them the tools to think critically and analytically when confronted with new/high-quality material. Since my daughter started Scholarskills, immediately her attitude towards learning has changed. Prior to this program, she had a very nonchalant attitude towards learning and when learning new material, would often back down. However, she has become audacious in learning and is up for any challenge because she now has the tools to thoroughly think things through. Being a part of this program as a parent is also a pleasant experience as I get to learn new teaching techniques, through observation, that I can implement at home. Pastor Vieira and his staff (Joshua and Caleb) are absolutely exceptional in their teaching methodology and are simply good/caring people. They are also highly educated and knowledgeable about the educational needs of your child as each child receives learning instruction and materials based on their needs (other programs give the same work in the same manner to every child despite the child's needs...trust me because this is coming from a parent who placed her child in a number of "big-name" tutoring centers.) This is an awesome program...if your child needs help with their academics or as in my case, wants your child to have that "edge," Scholarskills is the place!

I was weary to write a review for this company- solely because of the children they bring service…read moreto. However, this is easily the most unorganized, unprofessional and amateurish company I have ever been a part of. There is no training of tutors to help them with their students. Meaning tutors are improvising lessons and engagements with students. The issue is when you have parents who rely on tutors knowing how to help their children progress academically and in reality these tutors are completely inexperienced and unskilled individuals to work with them. They do not pay well or fairly and they severely mislead their staff and the people who use their services. Although I believe their intentions are good, they are doing a disservice to every single child who sees these tutors.

One of my kids went to BHSEC Manhattan, and the other is now at BHSEC Queens. (I apologize in…read moreadvance for any overlap in my reviews.) Both schools will give kids a top-notch education, but the schools are not for everyone. Bard Manhattan was the first of its kind, a public high school with an accelerated program that takes 2 years to complete. The second two years are for college-level work (and, indeed, kids graduate after 4 years total with both a HS diploma and an A.A. degree from Bard College). Those 2 years of college credits can be transferred to some 4-year colleges, giving kids who want it a huge savings in both time and money. So the work is advanced and fast-moving: that's a given. Kids have to take a placement exam (not the SHSAT) to qualify, but even if you do well, it's hard to say whether BHSEC Manhattan is for you. It's a small school, and there aren't as many clubs as you can find elsewhere. Sports are not a huge part of the culture here. It's a long walk/bus ride from the nearest subway line. Writing is very important; you don't have to be a great writer at 14, but you should probably be open to improving in this area. Those are the caveats. The benefits of this school are enormous. The quality of the faculty is amazingly high (lots of PhD's), and they were always accessible for advice/extra help/mentoring. The administration was responsive, in my experience. College counseling was knowledgeable and hands-on. The classes are small and most are seminar-style. Lots of discussion, lots of back-and-forth in the classroom, lots of writing (see above). Expectations are high; you're expected to work hard and be intellectually curious. If you want big lectures, multiple-choice tests, and anonymity--forget it. The BHSEC model has expanded to Newark, Cleveland, and New Orleans. Clearly, there's a demand for accelerated HS education. For the right kid, these schools will be life-changing. As with any educational choice, the key is to know yourself.
