It was my words against their words without a written contract. The regional director told me as "doing me a favor to be down at the office to meet with me". This was a very arrogant statement. As you can imagine, after they take your money, all courtesy is out the window. My suggestion is to go somewhere else where you can don't have to buy the package in advance. This way it can ensure the quality of services that your kid receives.

ery disappointed at the management team. My kids have the Tuesday session with Philip for probably…read more2 years. All of a sudden, before the school starts, the receptionist told me that my kids can't continue the Tuesday session with Philip anymore because I didn't respond to the email they sent to me. The Tuesday spots my kids have are given to other students. However, there is nothing stated in the email that we as the parents are required to respond to the email if we want to keep the same schedule, or if we didn't respond to the email, our regular session will be given to other students. No one at the center has ever asked my kids if they want to keep the same Tuesday session or switch to a different schedule before or after their tutoring session on Tuesdays. I talked to the center director Norman wang right away, he was very angry and raised up his voice to tell me that your kids have been with Philip for 2 years on Tuesday doesn't mean that they can be with Philip on the same schedule for as long as you want?!! My kids tried to talk to the front desk this evening as well, the front desk person at c2 just told my kids that since your mom didn't respond to the email, we can do whatever we want. I have included the email they sent to me. This is really unfair. I think they treated us this way is because we purchase a big package($16k)from c2 about 2 years ago. Just be very careful parents, if you want to buy tutoring package from c2, pay attention to the hours they subtract as well. A few parents have warned me about this. I will try to talk to the district manager to resolve this issue. Will keep you guys updated as soon as I hear more from the upper management.

What can I say, Mathnasium make me smile. The team that they have assembled in house here- make…read moresure my two boys have an excellent and fun time with Math. The owner, Angie is an outstanding and experienced franchise owner who stands out with concern, education and inspiration. She knows this business model well. Her careful selection of team members clearly shows, from the center directors to the tutors themselves, everything shines. The location is immaculate and clean which is lovely, and the system they offer of learning math in terms of increasing fluency with numbers and being taught a system for breaking down problems so that you become both a fluid and fluent problem solver is a welcome game plan. I have a 4th Grader and 1st Grader here and both have gained some serious traction in math that easily translated into their respective classroosm. They have more math muscle to use! My Fourth Grader I was worried about as the work and complexity piled up in the 4th Grade. Having slipped slightly down the slope in 3rd Grade, I was concerned for what lay ahead in 5th Grade for him and felt this was a turning point, a time to dig in and so we dove in and started Mathnasium. So glad we did! It's made a real difference. FYI.. we did try Kumon several times back to back previous years and my son just didn't take with it. It's fine with a lot of his friends but for him it was a no go. This place.. he likes a lot. I think it has to do with the personal attention the tutors give here and the hands on material. Like another reviewer said it's about 1:3 ratio of tutors to students. Kids are given an assessment first which is great, and then you know where to begin. Then they work on fluency and also at their assessed skill level until they can move onto the next level, assessed both in terms of "fluency" and "grade level.) We were not so surprised to see my son initially tested in lower than his actual grade level. But in just a few short months he's risen right up and now at grade level (4th) assessment and hopefully pull into the 5th Grade level before he's actually in 5th Grade at school. So if you are on the fence about supplemental math, this is a fun place, with a nice casual atmosphere with intent.There is no homework like Kumon, so kids feel like they are done when they leave and that is great. They have punch card system with points, and points equal prizes which seems to motivate and keep festive the math education. Check em out! one last thing.. when I was a kid I fell behind in math and I never really recovered- it got to a point where i just wasn't comfortable and just struggled to get it done. My hope is to have my kids avoid this and while they don't have to LOVE math,I want them to feel confident and strong with it, so they can feel free to learn as much as they can without negative "I can't do it' feelings. Big Thank you's to all the staff, A.J., Keith , Angie, all who know my kids by name and make it fun while taking the time to make it cool to do Math. Oh.. my 1st grader! he really didn't need too much help he's only in 1st! but he insisted on joining because of big brother and how much fun it looked. It's paid dividends.. I think he is stronger and more confident and his teacher said math is one of his strongest subjects.

After…read moreresearching several education centers in Millbrae and San Mateo, I decided to enroll my child at SK Education. The director, Kevin Wang, is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain each education plan in detail. I knew him back then when he was known as the best director at C2 education. Their pricing is also very affordable compared to other tutoring centers in the area. My child enjoys working with the tutors, who are both engaging and supportive. I highly recommend SK Education to families seeking personalized tutoring and college preparation in the peninsula.

My daughter just finished her Freshman year at American University and it has been an excellent fit for her. The only thing I did to help her with her college prep and research was sign her up at the Learning Studios. Christy and her team helped her explore what she wanted to study, what she wanted in a college, what colleges to consider, how to write her statement of purpose, etc., etc., They even helped with her applications for financial aid/scholarships. They held her accountable for all the steps along the way and she was pretty much done with the hard stuff by the start of her Senior year. Without the Learning Studios, I know this would have involved many stressful moments between her and me. It was worth every penny. They also provided excellent math tutoring for her (e.g., precalculus, and AP calc plus more). I've since recommended The Learning Studios to other families and all have been very pleased. I highly recommend The Learning Studios.

Our son had a great experience the past 2 years at the Learning Studio. His grades and his test scores greatly improved with the tutoring and guidance that Christy and her staff, especially Dale, provided. We highly recommend the private calculus tutoring, AP Calculus class, ACT prep and college consulting. His ACT scores greatly improved after taking the ACT prep class and coaching from Christy. Christy Franz and her staff worked with our son from his junior year to prepare for the rigors of high school and the college application process. She was very insightful, patient and intuitive when getting to know my teenage son and what drives him. Christy suggested colleges to apply that might be a "fit" for him. She has a wealth of knowledge regarding what is being taught in the high schools, what colleges to apply to, preparing applications and essay reviews. As a result of the College Application Consulting, our son was admitted to many of his top choices. We highly recommend the college consulting to ease the application process for both the student and parents!

It was divine appointment that we found Mr. Test Prep. I…read morealmost never use Yelp anymore to search for anything (sorry, yelp!) but I came on here just to see if there was any SAT prep service that could help my son. He had already sat for the SAT in his 10th grade, and had a decent 1550 score, but we wanted to see if he could improve it. Mr. Test Prep's approach and clear value proposition really stood out to me in the sea of the multitude of tutors and SAT prep services. We gave it a try, our son Ethan loved Michael's style, and format, and it was a good fit for our family's needs all around. Ethan sat for the SAT again in a few months of working with Michael, and his score was perfect. Of course, everyone's mileage may vary. For us , it was a match made in heaven :) Thanks, Michael

Michael took a highly cumbersome and stressful SAT prep process and gave my son and daughter the tools they needed to excel -- both looked forward to Michael's test prep sessions! Michael has a very special process in working with students to reduce the anxiety and stress associated with the SAT and ACT tests. His style of instruction really worked well for my son and daughter during the testing period. They were able to perform at their best level. Michael made the process super fun and helped to fuel their motivation to do their best. He was always available for a phone call if we had any questions, and we appreciate his willingness to help. We are so happy to have found Michael. Previously, we went to another test prep provider who said there was no difference in taking the SAT or ACT. She once had my daughter in tears based on her pushy approach. After the first session, Michael knew the SAT was a better choice for them. Choosing the SAT had a very significant impact on their score. Thank you, Michael for being a great teacher and mentor! Our only regret is that we wish we found Michael sooner. My husband and I give him our highest recommendation!

When I was younger, I used to HAAAAATE getting tutored. However, seeing Jennifer tutor a younger cousin of mine was a great experience. Her knowledge definitely demonstrates her years serving as a public and private school teacher and is coupled with an understanding of how to deal with your child's personality. My little cousin is notorious for acting out, but her calm demeanor and bright personality definitely made him feel like he was talking with a friend and not someone above him. She never once made him feel inadequate, but rather taught him a better way of approaching difficult homework questions or problems. Best of all, he was HAPPY when he when their session was done.
