She has always been a pretty good student, but YSA has made her much better. It's as if she is a different student now than she was before that summer, especially with confidence in writing. She has learned so many things so organically that it was fun for her. She also has amassed a notebook of "beautiful sentences" (her words) that she constructs each week for YSA and from which she later picks and chooses phrases for poetry/creative writing. This has directly led her to win awards at national literature competitions, which I don't think she would have done had she not been in YSA. What more, she has made friends at YSA through the entertaining field trips and Fun Fridays. She was the new girl, but the kids attending YSA were all very kind, friendly, and generous. My daughter didn't want the summer to end! And I can't say enough good things about her teachers and Ms. Esther, the director. The teachers at YSA are creative and detail-oriented, and they give the kids so much individualized attention because the class size is so small (6 to 8 students per teacher). Then there's Ms. Esther, who you can tell from the start really loves kids and cares about how they are doing. She knows each student by name and who their parents are, she regularly sends detailed texts and photos showing how the kids are doing, and her interaction with each child is colored by warmth. For example, she thinks so much about each child's well-being that she will gently move children into the shade at lunch lest they get too much sun (such a mom thing to do but so bracing to see when someone does it for your child). She also makes sure that they wash their hands at the right times, that they have all their belongings with them, and that they eat what their moms want them to eat before rushing off to play. Wow! The children are taken care of so well--physically, emotionally, and academically. Overall, YSA is superb, and I will sing its praises to no end.

Our goal was to support…read morehim in an area of his strength and interest (reading, writing, and language skills) rather than to address a weakness. We liked that he was able to work in the middle school-age content/cohort and push his growth beyond what he was getting in his regular 6th grade school class. We are very happy with the results, and my son didn't want to stop attending (rare for an academy!) when we recently let YSA go to focus on other activities. Miss Esther is always positive, flexible, and easy to communicate with. Her teachers did a good job of connecting with our son and motivating him to keep learning and developing. Things went well enough that we made a request for a series of special, private sessions to prepare my son for the written portion of the Whitney HS admissions exam. Miss Esther and her team worked out a schedule over the course of a month, and our son felt very confident and prepared for the exam. He felt good both before and after the test and ended up earning admission to Whitney! We are appreciative of the care and investment that the YSA team made in our son. We can't think of a higher recommendation than to say we are already planning to enroll our daughter at YSA in about a year when she prepares for middle school.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Best Learning Center after school learning academy! From…read morethe moment I walked in, I knew this was a place that truly prioritizes the growth and academic excellence of each student. The teachers are incredibly attentive, taking the time to understand the unique needs and strengths of every student. Their passion for teaching is so evident, and they go above and beyond to make learning fun, engaging, and meaningful. My 1st grader misses his teacher Ms. Emily when either one of them miss a day. It's clear that the center is dedicated to fostering a deep understanding of the subjects they cover, rather than just rote memorization. My child has not only improved academically but has also developed a deeper love of learning. One of the things that stands out the most is the supportive and focused atmosphere. The other children in attendance are equally driven and committed to their studies, which creates a positive, motivating environment. It's a space where kids feel comfortable asking questions, collaborating with peers, and doing their very best. Best Learning Center has truly made a difference in my child's academic journey, and I couldn't be more grateful! I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing, effective after-school program. Special Notes- 1. They are open on additional non-school days (sometimes). 2. They are open until 6pm which helps with my long commute. 3. They have transportation, but are also very close to Arovista Elementary. 4. They match school hours, even early release Wednesdays. 5. Easy to make payment and communicate with Brandon, the learning center director.

They were previously enrolled in the after-school program at the elementary school, but reports from the teachers, and my sons, quickly caused us to research new options. Here is a list of requirements I used to research/decide: 1. Must be open until 6pm. I work in. DTLA so I need to be able to have time to drive back to Brea through traffic. 2. Need transportation from school to place of care. 3. Located near my house, or my daughter's pre-school, or on my way home from work. 4. Must be run and managed by adults. 5. Must be able to help w/ my sons' homework. They are in dual immersion Spanish classes and all their homework and instruction is in Spanish. 6. Must have clam, friendly, clean place to work during the time they are in care. After a week or so of researching, I had it down to the Karate Studio in Fullerton, or Optimus Learning Center, across from Best Buy off Imperial and Beach. Once I saw the space, and met Ms. Rebecca, I decided to start them the very next month. They have been attending since the beginning of Dec. 2023 and I am extremely pleased. It is double the cost of the after-school program, even with the sibling discount, but this includes the cost to transport my children from school to the center each day and monitoring the bell/pickup schedules, and there are more adults per student for additional attention and help. Pros: 1. Open until 6pm 2. Have two locations in-case I need additional care 3. Are open on teacher/holiday school closure dates 4. Emphasis is on Academics 5. Calm atmosphere 6. Kids finish all homework at the center before pickup 7. Run by respectable adults who dress professionally 8. Other children in the space are respectful and obedient Cons: 1. No outdoor play area 2. On school closure dates, the Fullerton and Brea centers merge. The Brea location is far from our house, but I am still thankful they are opened. 3. Non-school days are 9am-6pm. Our after-school care was 7am-6pm daily. 4. They don't currently have the option for auto pay, so I have to wait for a receipt and then send payment through Zelle. Not horrible, just a little work to remember since my last program was automatic. Based on my experience, I believe Optimus Learning Center is a great after school program and I hope you will check them out. They've adapted the program to assist with my sons' homework (Spanish). One other note - they also offer engaging enrichment classes, tutoring, and piano lessons. I truly feel that Optimus Learning Center offers a supportive and nurturing environment that fosters growth and success. Thank you for reading this far. Optimus Learning Center is committed to providing personalized academic support. The program understands that each student has unique learning needs and goals, and therefore, offers tailored homework help and tutoring services. This personalized approach helps students improve their academic performance and gain confidence in their abilities. By providing one-on-one support, the program ensures that each student receives the attention and guidance they need to succeed. With its comprehensive approach to education and development, Optimus Learning Center helps students achieve their full potential and prepares them for future success. *note- some of these pics are from the Brea Learning Center. But the Fullerton and Brea centers look and feel similar.

    This review has been long overdue, and I'm so glad I finally had the chance to write it…read more About a year ago, I decided I wanted my boys to start jiu-jitsu. As a mom, I believe it's so important for children to learn basic self-defense not because I expect something bad to happen, but because I want them to have the confidence and skills to protect themselves if they ever need to. At first, my boys were nervous and intimidated. We visited a few schools before making a decision, but from the moment we walked into Teragi, we knew this place was different. Everyone made us feel like family. The professors and coaches are exceptional not only because of their experience and skill, but because they genuinely care about every child. They encourage, support, and meet each child where they are. I especially want to mention my youngest. Jiu-jitsu didn't come naturally to him at first, and he struggled to understand the techniques. The professors and coaches were incredibly patient and never made him feel like he was behind. They allowed him to learn at his own pace, and now it's amazing to see how much his confidence and skills have grown. That patience meant so much to our family. There's no pressure for kids to be the best. Every child learns differently, and the professors and coaches truly understand that. Since we homeschool, Teragi has become more than just a place to train. My boys have made wonderful friendships, and we've found an incredible community. I also have to mention how clean the academy is! It never has that old gym smell and is always welcoming. I've watched both of my boys grow not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. They're more confident, disciplined, and respectful. If you're on the fence about jiu-jitsu because you don't like the idea of your child being on the ground, I completely understand. I felt the same way. But the reality is that many real-life self-defense situations end up on the ground, and knowing what to do can make all the difference. Thank you, Teragi, for creating such an incredible environment for our children. We are so grateful to be part of the Teragi family, and I couldn't recommend this academy more.

The owners, professors, and coaches have cultivated a superb gym culture. This gym is safe, friendly, and supportive. The facility is modern and clean, and they've invested in a foam block subfloor beneath the mats for softer landings. As far as I know, this is the only gym in the area that offers women-only classes four times per week and a bi-monthly community open mat for gentlemen 40 years and older. My kids train here after school 4-5 days a week, and they love it. The kids' professors and coaches are experienced and amazing teachers. I'm especially thankful for the young coaches who were so patient and kind to my boys when they were hesitant and shy after first starting. And my pocketbook is especially thankful for the discounted rates for additional family members. If you're looking for a place where the whole family can train, grow, and feel welcome, I can't recommend Teragi highly enough.

We had told her up front that our child has behavioral issues including ADHD, and she reassured us that they work with children like this all the time, which is why we chose Sylvan to begin with. But after one month of disappointment, we had no choice but to stop. It's as if she gave up on our our child. And when it came time to leave, she offered us nothing--no apology, no guidance, no recommendations, no hope, no closure, nothing. By the way our kids also reported that one of the tutors even threw my kid's stuffed animal across the room against a wall. We understand our kid shouldn'tve brought it in the first place, but that doesn't excuse such violent behavior. Lastly our children built up thousands of "points" but never knew how to redeem them and were never even offered the chance to do so. In short, don't waste your time and money here. Your children deserve so much better.

My son scored badly on the assessment due to being unmotivated to answer the test questions properly. I was discouraged and heartbroken but Minera ensured me that there are kids that come to Sylvan with similar issues and struggles. She assured me that they will work with him because they have dealt with kids with ADHD in the past. She also reassured me that there are some kids who displayed similar findings with assessments and they showed improvement. I also ended up enrolling my 2 other younger children here to accompany my other son. We did not want my other son to feel as if there was something wrong with him especially since he was already struggling academically, behaviorally not to mentioned he was discouraged and had low self esteem. I had such high hopes but unfortunately things didn't quite work out as I had hoped. The tutors were all wonderful and professional. They all tried so hard to help my son but unfortunately his behavior and disruption to others students became an issue. My other two kids did great at the end and were doing well but unfortunately my one son that desperately needed the most help, did not. I guess despite the great rating they cannot always help everyone. Each child has a different personality, learning style and ability and unfortunately it was my son that was too far to be reached. I wish that it could have worked out. But unfortunately I sensed a lot of frustration hence the long text messages as well as a brief update from Minera one afternoon. She updated me regarding my son's behavior and inability to move forward in the curriculum due to his refusal to show his work and knowledge of the subject. I sensed her frustration, in which I do not blame her. I would have hoped that they would have been able to be more professional and knowing how to deal with kids with ADHD like they said they did. It was discouraging and upsetting to see the opposite attitude, body language and demeanor this time around. Her voice as well as her facial expressions did not offer any sense of hope or recommendations to help improve or change the situation. I feel Minera gave me a false sense of hope and did not deliver their promise. Thank you to all the tutors though who did try to help my son. I deeply appreciate the time, patience you all put into my 3 kids, as for Minera, I am disappointed in your professionalism. You should not make assurances that you cannot keep.
