The person responsible doesn't care. All they care about is collecting money from customers by hyping up the qualifications of their teachers even though of their teachers have little to no experience teaching. They usually don't give refunds after payment. As far as the curriculum is concerned, both their methods and materials are very outdated. Even though the SAT currently allow calculators and the use of desmos, this place ignore the advantages the technology offers and insist on using the traditional methods of instruction using only the pencil. Their instructional materials are also decades old not reflecting the current emphasis of College Board

Their 6 week program can drastically improve your score if you were a 50th percentile type student or boost you from 2100 to above 2300 if you're a top student. Students in the summer SAT boot camp have daily classes from 8:30am to 1pm. A strict regimen of 50 vocabulary words on flash cards are tested on each morning. Weekly full SAT testing is done every Monday to track progress of each student. I highly recommend Elite for students entering their Junior year of High School.

They communicate very well. Great service all in all. Thank you for the great service.

She has also gained more confidence, her instructor is very positive and encouraging. They are extremely flexible with hours/scheduling. I can always text them for a quick and easy communication rather than calling and playing phone tag. After every session I get an e-mail with notes from her instructor sharing what they covered in the lesson and how it went with a list of things she did well and things she can continue to practice. Also, the sessions are easy to use and set up, it's just a link to click in an e-mail instead of downloading or installing Zoom or any other platform on the device. If I want them to cover any specific homework assignment, workbook, skill or even state testing practice they incorporate that into the session for us. I would highly recommend them!

I was never told that when I called and took my 6 year old in for an assesssment, which was a complete waste of time. I felt they were not upfront (or nice about it either).

I had read great reviews about Kumon and especially this location and thought this would be a great place for my son. I was sadly disappointed. Not impressed with this place.

The growth I've seen academically and in his confidence has been truly remarkable. During every ongoing conference, the staff consistently provides detailed updates on how Sebastian is learning and how engaged he is during his sessions. They do a great job communicating exactly what he is working on and how he is progressing. The teachers regularly share feedback on his skill development, especially in reading. They encourage him to sound out words he doesn't know, then read passages with him after his attempt to ensure he fully understands the material before answering questions. What I appreciate most is how supportive and encouraging the staff is. They always reward Sebastian for his efforts, reinforce positive behavior, and work to build his confidence. He is constantly reminded to keep up the good work and reassured that he is doing well, which has made a huge difference in his motivation. Sylvan has been an amazing support system for Sebastian, and I am very grateful for the dedication, communication, and care they provide. I highly recommend Sylvan Learning Center in Northridge to any parent looking to see real growth and confidence in their child.

I chose this learning center because it was presented as an inclusive environment for…read moreneurodivergent children. After more than a year of consistent effort, communication, and trying to make things work, I ultimately did not feel that the level of support or collaboration matched what my children needed. My 9-year-old daughter repeatedly shared that she struggled to be included during group activities. She often said she would ask to join and was denied, or she would tell a teacher and was told they would "talk to the other kids," but the situation continued without follow-through. Over time, she began telling me she didn't want to ask anymore because it felt pointless. As a parent, it is my responsibility to advocate for my children, and I brought these concerns to the staff and director multiple times. I also observed patterns of certain children consistently sticking together while others were left out. Although I understand that friendships form naturally, I expected staff to guide inclusive interactions--especially in a program that emphasizes social learning. Instead, I was told that I was "asking for too much." There was also a situation where another child's teasing left my daughter in tears. When I asked how these situations were handled, I was told it was typical behavior. While disagreements and conflicts do happen between children, I expected more structured intervention and support in line with the center's stated values. I also noticed my daughter regularly sitting alone during snack time while other children clustered together. When I pointed this out as an opportunity to encourage inclusive social behavior, the response I received was that children simply sit where they choose. While this is true I felt the situation highlighted an ongoing lack of guided support. Also where director Nancy had my daughter sit alone and when my daughter said she wanted to sit with the girls she was scolded "it doesn't matter!". A social-skills supervisor who observed my daughter noted that staff might benefit from additional training on how to support neurodivergent students, which reflected my own experiences. My son also encountered challenges. He was disenrolled due to behavior concerns, and I took every step requested by the center to secure additional support so he could return. Even with outside support staff present, I did not see the level of engagement or consistency needed for him to participate successfully. Throughout the year, I made multiple attempts to collaborate and offer constructive feedback. Based on my interactions, I did not feel that feedback was well-received or that my concerns were taken seriously. As a parent of neurodivergent children, advocating for them is essential, and I did not feel the partnership I hoped for was present. While this center may work well for some families (only for the families they personally know), it did not align with our needs or the level of support I expect in an environment that promotes itself as inclusive. I know what culture and values I want for my children and this is not it
