I went to MT for many math classes and it was a great experience every time! Uncle Don makes challenging concepts very simple and easy to understand. He also gives us plenty of practice so we become strong with the material. The classes are extremely engaging and fun to participate in. Uncle Don is funny, very patient, and always excited to teach. Definitely recommend! read more

When I first joined the MT learning center, I was a junior struggling to achieve A's in school and constantly performing below average on tests. After taking multiple classes, such as the AP Chemistry, AP Biology, Precalculus, and AP Lang with Don, my grades significantly improved, and I ended junior year with a 4.0 GPA despite the 4 difficult AP classes that I took. Afterwards, I relied again on Don and his expert team of college consultants to help me achieve my dream college results. The team was highly professional, responsible, and extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of college applications. For the price of only a few thousand dollars, this extraordinary team made me achieve results that would cost tens of thousands at other firms. Ultimately, despite my below-average stats, I was accepted into the University of Southern California (USC) for the class of 2030. Thank you Don, as well as all of the teachers at MT learning center, for your support and kindess towards my college journey, read more

Dr. Don approaches mathematical concepts from angles that make learning fun. He ensures that students have a deeper understanding of the material and prepares students to succeed in classes that they take in school. He also personalizes his classes to ensure that every student understands the material. I definitely recommend MT Learning Center for any student who wants to get ahead in school. read more

Please read through 1 star reviews and also the reviews that say "are not recommended". Overall unprofessional & tutor is too egoistic to take input. Lacking of kindness and compassion. Uses threats to student to assert control. The way he communicates is totally demoralizing. It's only his way or the highway. Traumatizing to say the least. This tutor might work for your family but it just doesn't work for us. Good luck.. read more

Don is an outstanding teacher who explains difficult concepts clearly and in a way that actually makes sense. Overall, this class played a big role in my success in Calculus BC, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to truly understand math. read more

My daughter went to MT Learning Center during her senior year of high school for AP Calculus AB. She initially was struggling at lot in math at school, so I wanted to quickly find a tutor for her. Luckily, someone referred me to MT Learning Center, and after talking to Don for the first time, I could tell he cares a lot about his students. This gave me a peace of mind and confidence in his class. Don's class helped her quickly catch up and also prepared her well for the AP exam. I saw how big of an improvement it made in both her grade and confidence in math. She also really enjoyed the class. I would highly recommend Don and MT Learning Center for those looking for tutoring lessons. They are very sincere in helping students improve! Thank you Don! read more

I have been taking lessons at MT Learning with Don and the other teachers from junior year through senior year, and they have been an enormous help throughout all my classes. The teachers do an excellent job of explaining every subject, and I feel that I have come out of each class with a much clearer understanding of the material. I highly recommend taking lessons here! read more

I highly recommend this math tutoring center! Their tailored approach to each student's level ensures effective learning, and their excellent teachers make complex concepts easy to understand. I'm grateful for their exceptional support. read more

I've been going to MT for a while now, and it has really helped me improve in my math skills. Don is a super funny teacher, and he makes classes very enjoyable. By attending MT, I was able to raise my grade up from the low 70s to an A at the end of the semester (sophomore year precal). The curriculum at MT is geared towards helping you perform well in school, which I found to be very helpful. My friends who have taken their SAT prep classes have all scored high (1500+) on their actual SATs. My sister, who is currently attending Berkeley as a CS major, has also taken multiple classes at MT throughout high school, and it prepared her very well for the AP calculus BC test. read more

I started MT classes in freshman year of high school and it completely changed the way I studied math. Before Don's lessons, I was a constant B student in math but afterwards I found myself on my high school's advanced math track. Don's teaching and social skills make for a friendly learning environment that encouraged me to learn. He explains his lectures very well and has a lot of extra material to help students outside of class. Overall a very good class and would definitely recommend to others looking for tutoring! read more

MT Learning Center is a great place to go if you need academic help or if you want to have an edge over your peers. I have been attending MT since freshman year and have taken multiple math courses, as well as the summer SAT prep course. I will be a junior in the fall, and I plan on taking more courses at MT, as I have seen great improvements in my math abilities and SAT score. The main math teacher at MT is Don; he is very invested in his students. When he teaches, he uses methods that make problems more approachable and understandable. The strategies he gives students to remember formulas and concepts are also easy to remember. He often uses stories to help students remember difficult concepts; not only are these stories memorable, but they also make classes more fun and exciting. He ensures students fully understand a concept before teaching a new chapter, and he provides students with the help they need. Furthermore, the practice problems and homework he provides prepares students for both school and standardized testing. Don is very experienced in teaching and cares greatly for his students. Without his classes, I would not be where I am today in math. The main English teacher, Cin-Yee, has helped me improve my English abilities greatly. Prior to Cin-Yee's English class, I struggled a lot with SAT reading and writing; I had difficulty understanding passages and correcting grammar mistakes. Through her extra practice problems and detailed explanations, I am now more confident in the English portions of the SAT. Additionally, Cin-Yee is one of the funniest and nicest teachers I've ever had. She always encourages students to ask questions and ensures each student gets the help they need. She often shares her stories and experiences, making the class more exciting. Her examples and humor keep students interested and help them better retain information. She is one of the best English teachers you'll have, and I am definitely hoping to take more of her classes! The teachers and staff and MT genuinely care about their students and want to see them succeed. I am really happy with my choice to attend MT Learning Center! read more

MT Learning has been one of the most helpful resources I have had during high school. I took math courses with Don, who has always been a great teacher! He makes the class very engaging and makes sure that every student leaves each lesson without any questions. The practice problems he gave me definitely helped; I could apply them to my schoolwork very easily. Don has been a great mentor for me over the years. In general, the MT staff are all very friendly and eager to help their students. Teachers and workers at the front desk are always willing to listen to parents' and children's concerns. They also have great advice about college applications! I definitely recommend MT Learning and know that everyone can benefit from them! read more

I took MT Learning Center's summer SAT prep class before my junior year in high school as well as their geometry class the summer between 8th grade and 9th grade. The practice and information provided by these classes assisted me in familiarizing myself with complex concepts as well as allowed me to develop a sense of understanding regarding how best to study in order to perform well academically. Don easily breaks down difficult math theorems and problems while explaining it in a way that is easily understandable by his students. His class is definitely challenging, but they prepare you very well for the future. His humor also makes the class much more enjoyable and interactive. Taking his geometry class definitely prepared me very well as I transitioned from junior high math to high school level math. Walking into 9th grade with a pre-existing knowledge helped me to succeed throughout the school year. Cin-Yee's English lessons also immensely helped me prepare for the reading and grammar aspects of the SAT, both components which I struggled with a lot. Her tips and techniques that she taught were useful, especially during the actual exam. Outside of the SAT, her teaching allows you to develop critical thinking skills and apply it to fields outside of just academics. Overall, MT Learning Center is a great place to hone your academic capabilities and pave a path towards success. read more

Don at MT learning has been a godsend for our son who was struggling in his AP calculus BC during his junior year in high school. His grade in AP Calculus BC was in the verge of failing which caught us by surprise since he got an A in his Pre-calculus class during his sophomore year. After my son's got his first 2 unsatisfactory test results, I immediately enrolled him to Don's weekly group classes to put him on track. Don's assessment on my son's math foundation was a spot on and we confirmed that he needed additional help. Therefore, we asked Don to give our son weekly private lessons in addition to the weekly group class to build his math foundation. Don gave us regular updates and we really appreciate Don's truthfulness (No sugar coating) on our son's math progress. The journey was not an easy one. But the end results spoke for themselves, the first semester my son failing grade turned to be a B and the second semester he ended with an A in his class. Thank you so much Don for your honesty, patience and positive encouragement! read more

I've been going to MT Learning Center for around three years, and my experiences have been extremely rewarding. I've taken multiple math courses during the school year and in the summer, including Algebra, Precalculus, and Calculus classes; every time, MT has prepared me well for the school material. In addition, the teachers wholeheartedly care for the success of their students, and they are constantly providing advice, clever tricks to remember formulas, and supplementary material. Don was my teacher for all three years, and he is patient, funny, and has helped me become more confident in my math abilities. He helped me find the fun and innovative side to math, and I couldn't thank him more for that. read more

My daughter joined MT learning center for math class in 9th grade. Her teacher is Mr. Don Juang. She said that Mr. Juang can always explain the concepts in a very clear and fun way. MT's class follows the high schools' math schedule, so it really helps her get well prepared upfront. I can see that my daughter has become much more confident in her math learning, so we really appreciate Mr. Juang's help with that. This year, my 7th grade son also joined MT for a writing class with Ms. Oliva Lee. Initially, he was a little bit of scared of English writing, but now he seems to really enjoy it. I feel Ms. Lee is very good at encouraging and leading kids to write down their own opinions and observations. read more

My daughter and my son joined the SAT classes at MT Learning Center. They both improved a lot and eventually obtained very good scores on the real tests. We are happy with the results. They are very satisfied with both the English and math teacher. read more

I've been a student at MT Learning Center for around 5 years, and the teachers here have helped me immensely throughout my high school career. Don, who is one of the math teachers, is very patient with his students and always shows his students the most efficient way to solve problems while also making class enjoyable. He's very friendly and ensures each student understands the concepts thoroughly and succeeds in school. He also provides supplemental individualized help to his students which is extremely helpful if any students fall behind his lecture or need additional help in specific topics. He makes his lectures very engaging and fun, yet also challenging. Don is also very approachable and is always down to talk about math or honestly anything! I took writing classes with Cinyee, one of the English teachers, in 8th grade and she has, without a doubt, improved my writing abilities since then. Cinyee is literally the most talented writer I've ever met. I've always struggled in writing so taking writing classes was, of course, almost essential at the time. I was always hesitant about my writing back then and pretty insecure about sharing my essays with others, but she was always able to significantly improve my essays by offering her open critiques and constructive feedback, which has significantly aided me in essays for both school and college apps. After taking her class, I was definitely a lot more confident in my essays and my improvements definitely reflected in school. Before I took the SAT, she was also able to provide additional advice, strategies, and practice reading tests, as well as offer guidance to perform well on the essay portion. She's generally very chill, humorous, and kind, and class is always something to look forward to. I would definitely recommend MT Learning Center if you're looking for any tutoring or college counseling assistance. The staff at MT do an exceptional job ensuring students' success and always go out of their way to do so:) read more

I took math classes at MT Learning Center two summers in a row, for Algebra 2/Trigonometry and Precalculus. The summer classes prepared me well for the school year and gave me a significant head start. The math teacher, Don, reveals shortcuts and formulas that aren't taught in school, training his students to think outside the box and use the most efficient methods to arrive at the correct answer. While students in school are just taught to memorize formulas without having to understand them, Don explains the meaning behind them so that the students are able to truly understand and remember it better. MT Learning Center has helped me improve my performance in school, as well as my logical thinking and reasoning skills. read more

I am currently a senior in high school and have been going to MT Learning Center since freshman year. MT has helped me so much over the years. The main math teacher Don explains concepts in a way that's very easy to understand, and he gives us practice that challenges us so that we're prepared for school. He's very helpful when we ask questions, and he makes sure that all of his students have a good understanding of the topic we're learning. Cin-Yee, one of the English teachers, is probably the best you'll find. I'm currently going through the college application process, and Cin-Yee has helped me drastically improve my essays. She worked with me to strengthen the topics of my essays, and she provides very constructive and individualized feedback. Besides the teachers here, Joy and May who work at the front desk are also always there to help. If you miss any class, they make it easy to reschedule and make up missed work. They are always there to answer the phone or talk in person about what classes are best for you, or just to answer any questions about MT in general. Everyone at MT genuinely cares about the success of all their students, and I highly recommend it! read more

Since freshman year of high school, I've been going to MT Learning Center, and I can definitely say the experience has been extremely rewarding. During the school year and over the summer, I've taken multiple math courses at the learning center, and every time, MT has helped me prepare well for the school material. The teachers wholeheartedly care for the success of their students, and they are constantly providing advice, clever tricks to remember formulas, and supplementary material. Through MT's math classes, I have become more confident in my abilities on the subject. read more

Aww good memories here at MIT Learning Center! I used to come here during jr. high and high school for math tutoring; I really don't know how I would have passed honors math from 8th grade until 10th without Don. He's the absolute BEST. He teaches in a way that kids can understand, and remembers to give breaks at least once per class, so we don't get burnt out. He actually cares about his students, and goes out of his way to make lasting connections with them. Even though he's taught hundreds of kids, he still remembers each and every one by name.Even now, when I come back to visit, he still says, "Amy! How are you, young lady?" even though I haven't been there for tutoring since my sophomore year in high school. I could write about Don forever :P I've met some of my best friends there, and even though we don't go to the same schools, you can't deny the bond you share from spending hours together doing math! (; [Although this yelp entry needs to be updated - this tutoring center moved into the Marina plaza!] read more

MIT was well ahead of others during the pandemic to ensure that students' learning would not be interrupted.  There was a choice between in-person and online classes in the summer of 2020, but I felt very comfortable sending my high schoolers to the center, with temperature-taking, strict mask enforcement, face shield on instructor, plexiglass guards between desks, and thorough cleaning between classes...all in place. Parents receive frequent e-mail updates from the center: notices of assessment, units covered in class, timely student progress report, and even class ranking. TAs at MIT work very hard to grade homework, tests and quizzes, and provide free help sessions to SAT students outside of class hours.  I would recommend MT to high school students who are determined to work hard, and whose parents are willing to support the students in collaboration with the instructor and TAs to ensure maximum learning and grade improvement. Math teacher Don attends to the individual needs of every student, monitors the progress of each of them, and creates a very positive environment that encourages students to put in their best efforts.  Perhaps this explains why MIT keeps its success in a single location.  Fremont students are very lucky that we don't have to travel far to access an SAT prep center of such high quality! read more

After trying many other tutoring centers, MT is the only one that truly helped. The math teacher, Don, truly cares for his students and is willing to put in all the extra time and work with a child they need. The class structure is easy to understand and helps a great amount in retaining the information. The problems given may be more difficult than expected, but Don is very good at guiding his students through them, always trying to have them learn the most they can. At MT they also emphasize practicing and reviewing concepts, which significantly benefits students in the long run. Overall, I highly recommend MT learning center for those searching for effective prep classes. However, MT classes are not for everyone. I have seen students in the classes trying not to do practice questions and not to turn in homework. In that case, Don usually pushes the students to do their work; "To be fair with other students." That is what he always says. Sometimes he would tell the students that he needs to talk to their parents. I believe what he does, even though from a very good sense of responsibility, might have irritated some students. read more

MT Learning Center is a great place to help improve your academic skills. I have been going to MT since I was a freshman, and I am currently a rising junior. I have taken multiple math courses and the SAT course at MT. I was very satisfied with both especially the SAT class since my score improved significantly after I took the course. The main math teacher, Don, is very encouraging and invested in helping his students. He finds easy ways to approach problems and always explains them in a very understandable way. The practice he provides is challenging enough to better prepare you for both school and other standardized tests. Also, the atmosphere in his classes is always very lively due to his fun stories and examples. They are also a good way to help remember the content he is teaching. Overall, Don is a very experienced teacher who genuinely seems to care about his students and makes sure they are reaching their full potential. Cin-Yee, the English teacher, has undoubtedly helped me improve my overall strategies for the reading and writing portion of the SAT. Before taking the SAT class, I was nervous about attacking some of the passages found on the SAT reading section like the historical passages, but she has provided many practice passages and tips to better answer the questions, so I am certainly more confident. My grammar skills have also notably increased because of all the extra practice and helpful explanations she gives. Furthermore, she is extremely encouraging and kind during class, making sure that each student is getting the help they need to improve. Her classes are also very fun because of her stories and experiences, and her humor will keep you constantly engaged and interested in her class which also helps to better remember the information. She is one of the most qualified English teachers I have ever had, and I will definitely take more of her classes in the future. read more

I've been going to MIT Learning Center since I was in 7th grade. Don is such an amazing math instructor who is always patient with you and he goes over each individual problem very thoroughly. You will always have a fun class since Don will greet you with full smiles even if you are having a rough day at school. Don has a special talent of being able to explain hard concepts to you in a way where you can easily understand them. Cin-Yee also helped me so much with my English essays and I could always rely on her to help me brainstorm topics to write about. Cin-Yee is very experienced with college applications as well as summer program applications. Without them, I could not have received such high scores on my SAT, AP, and SAT Subject Tests. I highly recommend MIT Learning Center for your tutoring service! read more

Math classes here with Don and Chemistry classes helped me prep for new chapters and concepts, and review for upcoming tests! They really helped bring up my grades in these classes :D read more

it is a good place to cram with good teachers, except, they got very tiny classroom at which the ventilation and fresh air is a big issue. Thus it is not very sanitary with flu passing around among the students, all the time. read more

I went to MT Learning Center for four ish years and worked as a TA there one summer, and I can attest to the care and attention that Don and the other staff members put into their classes! Most of the class sessions I've had were taught by Don, who was always very articulate and eager to help out. He's really interesting and engaging as well; he intersperses his lessons with jokes and anecdotes and always checks up on the students to make sure that everybody is doing well. I've also had a few classes with Jeff who was very fun to learn with! read more

I've been a student here since for four years now, and it is without a doubt an amazing tutoring center for all ages. If you're looking to boost your SAT score, catch up on material, or just looking for somewhere to give a little extra leverage, then MT is the right place for you. I can't emphasize how much effort the teachers there put into the education of students, especially Don and Cin-Yee. Don is one of the math teachers at the center. When teaching, you'll notice that he walks around the classroom and pays attention to everyone individually, so that no one lags behind. The amount of care he invests towards his students has really shown and gotten countless students into their dream college. Don is very generous and is willing to talk to you about anything, even subjects not about math! Unlike the endless drilling that most tutoring centers offer, Don puts a humorous spin to his lessons and keeps students constantly engaged. Don has expanded my math skills to beyond what is traditionally taught in school. As for Cin-Yee, she is hands-down the best writer I've ever known. I improved my English portion of SAT by 250+ points after taking her SAT summer session, and my reading/analyzing skills has likewise improved immensely. Naturally, she is extremely approachable and down to earth. Even outside of class, if she notices students struggling, she'll stop and clarify any hesitations before resuming the task at hand. MT Learning Center is an amazing tutoring center with service that you can't find anywhere else! I'm happy to say that I will continue to attend classes there for the rest of my high school career. MT has brought me a 5-star experience; I highly recommend students to try it out!! :-) read more

I have attended MT for all four years of high school and I can confidently say that this learning center has drastically improved my academic performance and mathematical skills. The math teacher Don is very proficient in all levels of math and teaching. He explains concepts and topics very thoroughly and comprehensively, adjusting his pace to fit the needs of his students. He also cares about all of his students' individual successes and spends class time helping those who don't understand the material at first. Attending his classes, from Algebra 1 to AP Calculus, have helped me achieve straight As in all my math course while solidifying my academic understanding of mathematics. I highly recommend MT for anyone seeking for a prep class for math. 10/10! read more

If you need help preparing for difficult math classes or AP tests, I highly recommend this place. They have a lot of difficult problems to help you prepare, and provide tips and shortcuts. read more

I took classes at MT for SAT and for math, and both classes were a lot of help. The SAT classes were super useful- I went in not knowing anything about the test at all, and I was taught so much that I felt super confident when I actually took my test. I enjoyed my class so much that I went back the following year for math. Obviously, as with everything, you have to put in effort yourself, but Don, the math teacher, was willing to go above and beyond to help me. I was having trouble with my basic concepts, and he helped introduce a great textbook to me that was way more descriptive than the district issued one. One of the greatest things about MT was how relaxed they made the learning environment. The location itself is super convenient and close to lots of food places (and many milk tea shops!). For me, it was super comforting to be able to joke around with my teachers during break. It becomes easier to ask questions about concepts or approach your teacher when they're so easy to talk to. Even the lessons were taught in interesting ways, so that they were easier to grasp. If your child is struggling in school, wants to get ahead, or just needs a little extra help, definitely consider MT Learning Center. Of course, the students need to put in effort too, but if your student is really trying, is willing to get better, and is in need of help, then I have no doubt that going to MT will help them work to the best of their abilities. read more

I started going to MT in 9th grade, and Don has helped me so much in mathematics. The classes here are very fun and lively, and Don has a lot of practice materials that are specific to your needs. read more

After attending MT classes for many years, I have to say that every class improved my high school learning experience. For the math classes he teaches, Don never fails to give his students a comprehensive understanding of the material by conveying the basic concepts of each topic while providing challenging problems. For help with English or the college application process, Cin-Yee really cares about her students, giving one-on-one time and providing constructive feedback. Overall, I felt that the classes I took at MT were challenging yet fun because of the teachers there. read more

I've been going to MT Learning Center for around three years and, although I have only been taught by Don and Jeff (both math teachers), I can honestly say that this learning center is very effective. The teachers here are very easygoing, managing to maintain a very fun environment, and actually want to help their students improve. This learning center can help you in different subjects ranging from math to SAT practice. I highly recommend! :)) read more

I've taken classes as well as had private tutoring at MIT Learning Center. The teachers are all highly qualified, knowledgeable, helpful, and approachable. The classes and tutoring I've taken were for math, science, and SAT I preparation. Personally, some of the grammar rules I've learned in SAT writing class still stuck with me to this day, which was a big help for when I was studying for the GMAT. You get back what you put in. If you don't want to be there in the first place, the classes will not help you. If you go to class with the right attitude and a willingness to learn, taking classes here could help you tremendously. read more

I went to MT during my sophomore and junior year of high school. I took AP Calculus AB, BC, and SAT 2 Math prep classes with Don. I was initially hesitant to go and it did take a couple of weeks for me to adjust to both the speed and teaching style, but I feel like it was probably one of the best decisions I made in high school. Going to MT definitely positively impacted my academics as it not only helped reinforce the topics that my teachers covered, but also cleared up any confusion I had. Don is very methodical in the way he teaches and often times while his questions may not be the easiest, they are thought provoking and help you gain the clearest understanding of the topic once you're done. He also definitely prepares you for all the tests. For AB and BC I very clearly remember having a packet of problems to do for review during spring break to prep for the upcoming AP tests. For SAT 2 Math, all the practice tests and tricks Don gives definitely work. I was a very average student when I first started, scoring in the mid 600s which is a relatively low score. After the 10 or so weeks I spent with Don, I managed to score a 760. This to some may not be good enough, but for me it was a huge accomplishment. I hadn't scored anywhere near that in the past and I actually don't think I would have been able to score that high if I didn't take the class with Don. There is a lot of work as you take a practice test every week outside of the class, but you can't expect results without putting in the work as well. Don gives you all the tools you need to succeed, it's just up to you to use them to your advantage. While the topics covered in class may be more intense and complicated, especially as the class levels rise, there is still a strong sense of camaraderie among the students. The topics may be serious but the environment definitely is not. Students are still joking around and engaging with each other. I personally think that my parents got their money's worth and I gained not only a reinforced understanding of math topics, but also a lot of great friendships as well. read more

I took MT Learning Center's summer SAT prep class and it definitely helped me in familiarizing and preparing myself with the SAT. Don, the math teacher, really cares about each student and tries to ensure that everyone understands the concepts. The way he explains the solutions is very easy to understand, and his jokes always make the class more enjoyable. The math problems that he gives for homework are usually more challenging than the math problems on the actual SAT, so by taking this class I was definitely prepared for the real test. The English teacher, Cin-Yee, also helped me immensely improve my SAT reading and writing score. She provided us with many useful strategies and advice for doing well on the reading and writing portions, and she will thoroughly explain any problem that students are struggling with. MT also offers weekly mock SAT tests for free, which I highly recommend attending if you want to simulate the testing environment and get familiar with the test format. Overall, I would definitely recommend MT's SAT class to students who want to significantly improve their test scores and get guidance from qualified and friendly teachers. read more
