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.

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.

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.

My daughter started this program when she was very young, and she just completed the math program this month. From the very beginning, Ms. Sadia and Mr. Tariq were incredibly welcoming and supportive. The atmosphere of encouragement and learning was evident right away. My daughter completed both the English and math programs--she graduated from the English program first and continued with math until recently completing that as well. She has always been self-motivated, but this program further strengthened her independence and ability to learn in a structured environment. Whenever I had questions or concerns, Ms. Sadia and Mr. Tariq were generous with their time. They even provided their personal phone numbers and were always available, kind, patient, and helpful. The tutors at Kumon are also excellent--dedicated and effective teachers who truly support the students. I wholeheartedly recommend the Kumon Center in Northridge. If anyone would like to learn more about my family's experience, feel free to ask Ms. Sadia for my contact information--I would be happy to share more with any parent considering this program. If I could give a rating higher than an A+, I absolutely would!

He made himself available, is patient, accommodating and has the worldly life & writing skills to hit all the angles. My daughter did the base work and research on her own for the foundation for her essays, but JT knew how to hone them to make sense, and get everything in the word count without compromising the emotion my girl was seeking. She was distraught and overwhelmed until she found him through word of mouth at school. JT was the first college counselor that could work one on one with her and I didn't have to be part of the process because after reading what they produced, we trusted him. She ultimately earned full tuition in 5 merit scholarships to our local US News ranked top 25 college because she had put in the hard work academically, and holistically through the years, but JT understood her goals to write a story weaving in everything she had done (which was a lot) within the word count without compromising the quality of essays. My recommendation is for your teen do the research on the strongest activities they want to present in a bullet point list, pre-write out factual essays trying to squeeze in a coherent story and then go to JT to help him understand the direction. This saved her time and us money, plus helped her feel confident when they would hang up on what she was to go fix before the next call. She did all by Zoom, and maximized her time this way. From there, they crafted compelling essays that I'm still proud to re-read. Thank you Oxford for finding JT. We could not have gotten through this without him. Will definitely be using him for child number 2 when the time comes soon.

Melissa was great from the beginning with answering questions about the program, setting up schedules and being flexible when we needed to change days/times due to my son's sports commitment.

I am thrilled to share that he scored a 32 on the official ACT test. This was a huge jump from what he started. My son says he really enjoyed working with Melissa, that she made learning enjoyable and understandable. I highly recommend using Melissa to support for ACT preparation. Thank you Melissa!

As a parent who grew up doing Kumon myself, I did extensive research before choosing a math program…read morefor my kids. I compared multiple Mathnasium locations, Kumon, and Russian Math, interviewed the center directors, and even stopped by unexpectedly to see how the centers actually operated during sessions. Jonathan's center stood out immediately. Jonathan is exactly what you hope to find in an educator and center director. He genuinely loves math, cares deeply about teaching, and has created a calm, focused environment where students are actively engaged and supported. You can tell he is doing this for the right reasons, not just running a business, but truly investing in kids' confidence and growth. One thing I especially appreciated was how thoughtfully Jonathan matched both of my children with an outstanding instructor, Ben. Ben has been phenomenal. He knows how to push my kids through challenging concepts while still keeping them motivated and excited to learn. He handles sibling rivalry with patience and humor, helps redirect their inattention without shaming them, and somehow makes math feel fun and rewarding. The biggest testament to how much my kids adore Ben? They surprised him by dressing up as him for Halloween! If you are a parent looking for a math program that combines strong instruction, individualized attention, accountability, and a genuinely positive learning environment, I highly recommend this Mathnasium location. The leadership and teaching quality here are exceptional. I also love not having extra homework from the center since we all know how much effort it takes just to get school homework done!

We immediately liked the owner and instructors! Our son enjoyed going every week, we even walked 1.5 miles each way twice a week and he never complained. That's unheard of for a fifth grader, but he honestly liked the environment, the instructors and definitely the snacks! His school didn't give homework so he only worked on the curriculum that Mathnasium provided and we weren't really able to determine if Mathnasium was truly effective until he got his end of the year repot card. For the first time, he received "exceeeding" marks ONLY in math! And even more indicative of Mathnasium's effect is the glowing progress reflected between his midterm and end of the year marks. He did a little over seven months, twice a week consistently at Mathnasium and I'm honestly really pleased with the progress he made! The best part is that he sincerely enjoyed his time there this school year and wants to continue! Much gratitude and love for everyone at the Northridge Mathnasium!

For those of you looking for a place that will help your kids out with school, this is one of the best and most unique places out there. Unlike Kumon and Sylvan, Homework Bound focuses on the homework the children bring home rather than bombarding them with additional work and exercises. The teachers help the students understand their homework first and reach the root of the problem that way. Thus, those who need some extra focus can get that and those who need additional guidance can receive that as well. The program focuses on organization and time-keeping skills that will help the children with their homework and can also be applied elsewhere even after they leave the center. The teachers are great, caring, funny, and also focusead. They are chosen very carefully and put a lot of heart into what they are doing. Mr. Vesagas, the director, is also a very caring man who devotes so much of his time to his program and the children. He is extremely passionate about helping each child individually and always makes sure that they stay on track in terms of finishing their work. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for some extra tutoring for your child. While this isn't a "day-care," it is a great alternative to it. Bring your child home in the evening with their homework finished and enjoy some very much needed family time. :)

The second floor is my favorite floor, it houses certain club resources such as sports clubs and The Trio/Eop office. I spent most of my time at the Trio office is a great program that assists student with tutoring and advisement. It also takes field trips to grad schools for those interested. I highly recommend applying to get into the program is worth it, they have computers you can use to do your homework or just browse around. Beats going to the library trust me. As for the other remaining floors, I've never step foot in them as of yet but when I do I will update this review.
