My 10th grade daughter had a wonderful Tutisto tutor, Paulina, for Math Analysis (pre-calculus)…read more My daughter attends a highly-rated charter high school but we opted for her to take online Math Analysis via Laurel Springs under Paulina's guidance. My daughter looked forward to her weekly 1.5 hour sessions with Paulina. If she had questions during the week, my daughter would text Paulina who responded immediately. Paulina kept me informed of my daughter's progress throughout the year. Paulina is exceptionally organized, responsive, smart, patient and communicative. We are very grateful to have found her through a friend and will continue to have her tutor Calculus next year to augment the high school teacher's lessons. My only regret is that we didn't find Paulina earlier, as we would have hired her to help my daughter learn geometry in 8th grade!

I was referred by a friend, and this place has been fantastic for my child…read more All praise aside, it's the numeric improvement that speaks for itself. My son last year struggled, with COVID and the lack of effective teachers, he fell behind big time. Over the course of the entire year his lexile score only improved by 75 points, WITH alleged extra tutoring from the school. If you aren't familiar with lexile scores, a 75 pt improvement over the course of the year means he left farther behind than when he started. I was told about Kumon. I enrolled him when I found out how far behind he was, the school literally did not communicate all year these scores. We started a few weeks into summer. After 4 weeks of Kumon tutoring, he was reassessed at the start of the school year and saw a 50 point improvement. He basically gained in 4 weeks at Kumon what the school had done all year. The woman who runs Kumon is super nice, and direct which I appreciate. If we're on vacation she is really nice about a make up day...That is a testament to her putting the kids first. Most places nowadays refuse make-up classes. But she genuinely does not want your child to miss out on any learning. I have nothing but great things to say about the tutoring and facility here. They have really helped my son improve, he is now actively participating in class (which he refused to do before), he has built more confidence, etc... It has been so much more than just a tutoring lesson for him. Thank you!!!!

Extremely effective method in addition to traditional learning methods at school. I wish my…read morechildren would've started sooner. My son started at 4.5 yrs old and daughter started at 5.5 yrs old. Currently, my son is in kindergarten and is reading beyond the 2nd grade level. Even though he still needs time to build comprehension through more reading, he can spell and read way beyond his level. In math, he is trying to master his multiplication, while his school classmates are still trying to learn simple addition and subtraction. My children are in no way struggling with school, kumon just made their school work so much easier for them. This allowed them to focus on the more challenging areas in each subject at school. After setting them up in a routine of doing kumon workseets 15 minutes a day, it's amazing how much easier it is for them to learn. They are not born smart, they are conditioned to learn at a different level. This is not a place where you can put your parent responsibility on others. This is a place to help you as parents develop a learning strategy and organize your effort by enforcing the routine religiously. We saw results after 6 months, now they are excelling at a phenomenal pace. Small investment when it comes to your child's future. Don't wait until they struggle, proactively condition them to learn, so you don't have to worry about them struggling.

It doesn't rain that much here to invest in a tv for only that purpose. Not to mention no tv is recommended for kids until 18 months of age. My kid watches s Rachael so I can get ready on the morning but I don't pay for daycare for them to put them in front of a tv. There's no cameras and I would bet they have those kids in front of tv more often than they say. Additionally they put the infants in the same room as walking kids that are up to 20 months old. No where else does this. It's not safe. Speaking of safety- when you first pull up You see the gate to the playground and all the kids on the playground. The infant door is just inside the gate, forest door on the left. To get into the playground all she did was reach to the top of the gate to move the plastic zip ties and then opened the gate. It wasn't locked. The classroom with infants, not locked. The classroom appeared to have one entry and exit total - to that unlocked gate. Any adult could get in there. Not a secure placement at all. They need to up security. I hope there is never a shooter, but of elementary schools are getting hit we need to be prepared and this place is far from prepared.

Habla Espagnol? Well, after completely immersing my daughter into their program at the young age of…read more4 years old for kindergarten then an additional 2 years through middle school and being among the third middle school graduating class, my daughter can proudly say "Sí!" She had an extremely good foundation learning Spanish by being completely immersed in the language and culture of Spanish with her awesome kindergarten teacher, Maestra Ledezma, who only spoke to students and parents in Spanish to train the children. She's the best! Parents were welcome to help in her classroom or take home things to cut or glue. The complete transparency and access of her classroom for parents with long umbilical cords gave us ultimate trust in her methods. Her kinder year was rigorous not only for my daughter but for all the parents who struggled nightly to help their children with the "tarea" or homework packets. I thought the challenging rigor would increase as she went through each grade but kinder was the toughest. They learned Spanish vowels, math, holidays, songs, customs, countries and had a costume fashion show for the countries they reported on in kinder. They learned mathematics in Spanish, science in Spanish and in middle school, they are divided into Team Berkeley or Team Harvard to instill not just college pursuits but top ranking University endeavors. They go to 6th grade camp for a week then go on 2 trips in middle school touring San Diego Universities in 7th grade and a 4 day, 3 night trip visiting Los Angeles campuses such as USC, UCLA, UCI, Long Beach State University, and a fun stop at Universal CityWalk for lunch with overnight stays at the Ayers Hotel in LA County cities. Several points during her years at Nestor, I almost transferred my daughter to another school but then that would be like pulling a cake out of the oven half baked so I'm very glad I decided to stick with the program despite politics, which happens any where you go, bullying, and other negative issues. From my own experience of learning French and Latin, those languages actually helped me to learn and understand English better so I can see the anxiety of parents not understanding the methodology of the language program in terms of learning English, but it is excellent and effective to learn another language then learn English. English is a complicated language to learn with many rules, exceptions to those rules, and nuances. Learning another language actually makes learning English easier, strengthening the knowledge of both. My daughter's command of the Spanish Language is equivalent to that of a student studying at a University in Spain. She reads, writes, enunciates, speaks, and sings proper Spanish and can now work as a translator in an embassy, teach English in Latin and South America as well as Spain. Her foundational learning acquired here is helping to open doors and opportunities for a bright and successful future. Thank you Nestor Language Academy Charter School! My daughter's success is your success! There is a waiting list for entrance into this school where it is highly recommended the child enters in kindergarten. Priority is given to siblings already attending Nestor. They offer an after school program as well. I highly recommend sending your child here for a culturally enriched education complete with the enhancement of bonds of friendships closer than family ties made to last a lifetime!
