Also, my English is fluent and I can help with English Language Arts. Please TEXT me at 227 200 1252 if you would like to hire me as a French or ELA teacher. Regards, Stephanie Rhein

    Please avoid this place! It is a scam business and not worth a single penny from your hard-earned…read moremoney. I attended C2 Education in Germantown for several years and had a very disappointing experience. I attended for their PSAT, SAT, and college essay help, and unfortunately did not get much out of it, and I feel bad for my parents who wasted thousands of dollars. The only good thing I have to say is that majority of the tutors themselves are very kind and are aware of C2's broken system. However, the center's manager, Angela Kim, profits off of deceiving parents and shoving $20,000 non-refundable contracts in their faces. She also claims to be a "certified college counselor" when she is just a salesperson and gives bad college advice. C2's business model is based on manipulation and guilt tripping parents and students to buy hundreds of tutoring hours and spend 6 hours a day at C2 for an unreasonably high price. They give middle schoolers SATs and when they score low relative to an 11th grader (simply because they haven't learned the concepts in school), they show this to naive parents as a justification of calling their child stupid and in desperate need of their tutoring services. When students or parents are on the fence about buying so many hours during their post-diagnostic test sales pitch, they say stuff like "well if you actually wanted to work hard and be a good student you would come here and study" which is incredibly manipulative. They also call students "severely behind in math" for taking calculus their senior year of high school instead of freshman, sophomore, or junior year, which is absolutely untrue. They will downright try to tell you that your child will be unsuccessful without their tutoring services. They also will lie about your results on diagnostic tests. I took a diagnostic SAT at C2 and scored over 100 points lower than when I had just taken the real SAT recently. When I reviewed it later with the tutor, I noticed they had marked almost every answer wrong for the writing section. This was very confusing for me because I usually score near perfect on SAT writing. When I checked the answer key, I was very confident I had actually marked all the right answers. When I requested to see my bubble sheet they claimed to have discarded it. I conclude that they either had a broken scanner or did this on purpose because if diagnostic scores were too high they couldn't convince parents to sign up for their services. Attending C2 also did not help my SAT score at all, and I continuously scored the same over months despite regularly going there. However, as soon as I quit and switched to free online resources and $20 Amazon books I was able to get a 1500+ score with ~800 on math with no problem. The C2 test prep books and diagnostic tests are nothing like the real tests, and every student and tutor knows it. The management claims "exact questions" from the C2 tests show up on the real test but that is not true at all. Regarding college essays, I had a very mixed experience. One tutor gave me good feedback and was careful not to change the main points and my personal voice from the essays. However, another one demanded full editing access to my original personal essay document and went ahead and deleted half of it without my consent simply because he couldn't relate to it. He also openly ridiculed my essay and mocked the experiences that I had talked about in it. Overall I would not have come here for essays either and got significantly better feedback from an English teacher at my school for all my essays. I urge you to send your child to a more affordable tutoring place or a private tutor that genuinely wants your child to grow and succeed, rather than here where they are trying to unethically fool you into spending more money (which actually all goes to corporate instead of the tutors). I promise you will get quicker and better results, your bank account will thank you, and your child will develop a passion for learning instead a dread for it.

    We had our children enrolled in reading and writing lessons at SpiderSmart Learning Center -…read moreGaithersburg. Everything seeded fine until one session in May 2025. During that class, there was a concerning incident where the instructor took a student's work while they were still actively working on it, despite the student's clear objection. This made the student feel disrespected, and the experience left both children feeling uncomfortable. We brought the issue to the attention of the center director, who investigated but ultimately attributed the incident to an unrelated conflict, which we felt misrepresented the situation. We requested a refund for the remaining sessions but were told the payment was non-refundable. We agreed to pause lessons until a preferred teacher returned in June, but despite multiple follow-up emails, we never received a response or update from the director. The lack of resolution, accountability, and ongoing communication issues have led us to discontinue our relationship with this learning center. We are still requesting a refund for the unused portion of prepaid lessons and hope this review prompts better responsiveness and care in the future.

My son started attending when he…read morewas in 2nd grade, and it made a big difference in his reading and writing skills--especially writing. The program helped him build a strong foundation and gave him the confidence to express himself clearly and creatively. He enjoyed his time there, which made learning even more effective. Now, my daughter has joined the center as well, and she loves it too so far!

She has been fabulous to work with, and she's made sure we are happy with the tutors she matches us up with. Michelle always gives us options when selecting a tutor, and we've been so happy with the results. My older son was having so much trouble with virtual learning that he was failing every class. Michelle matched us with an amazing tutor that connected well with my son, tutored in the subjects he needed most, and tutored in executive functioning. With the tutor's assistance, that mostly turned out to be in executive functioning and walking him through the steps to write a huge history paper, my older son ended up with A's and B's for the rest of the year. My younger son needed some help in writing this past year. Michelle recommended what seemed to be an unusual pairing, but my son is so inspired by this writing tutor that instead of playing video games, he takes time to write pieces for her to go over with him and suggest improvements. My older son is also seeing her now as well and is gaining valuable feedback on how he can improve his school writing assignments.
