As a junior student, I have used the drop-in writing tutoring several times. And trust me, it can…read morebe helpful and supportive, especially for UWP 001 students. For each time I used the service, I came near final weeks and I usually signed-in in the morning to avoid the crowd. Every time I came with a fully developed paper for word choice check and minor grammar revision. In short, Pros: friendly, informative Cons: time-consuming waiting process, limited tutoring duration SASC is considerate to provide seats, although most of the time they are not enough. The front desk is very friendly and supportive. Every time I signed in, the staff there would tell me roughly how long I had to wait for my appointment. The tutors there were very responsive. They would come into the waiting area to call the next person's name on the wait list. The actual tutoring process was informative and supportive, since the tutors did not rewrite my paper, but provided suggestions on improvements by open questions. Some of my friends also asked tutors for help on higher order of concerns like how to develop their essay and cohesion between paragraphs, and they also gave a satisfactory feedback on that aspect of the tutoring. However, the current tutoring system is still not perfect. Before my tutor guided me into the tutoring room, the most annoying part was the waiting process. SASC has a very strict policy on the wait list: everyone has to sign in the spot right after the previous person and students will lose the spot if their names are called and passed. For reference, I usually signed in at nine, when there are roughly ten people ahead of me, but the system will take about two hours to digest the wait list. On the contrary, the actual tutoring duration is pretty short, only thirty minutes being allowed. Here are some of my tips for you: * Do not wait till the due date to go to SASC for tutoring help. * Remember to bring a hard copy, or SASC will refuse to revise your essay. * Get there as early as you can to avoid the crowd. If you cannot get up early, try to use the online sign-in system for appointments with writing specialists instead. However, those appointments are on a first-come, first-served basis. * Bring your laptop or homework to use the time during waiting. * Use the call-in service at the front desk to check your spot on the wait list if you need to leave and come back later. * Review your paper before the actual appointment. Bring concise and specific questions rather than rely on memory to remember what you want to ask. Please feel free to message me about my experience or if you have any further questions. Hope you can find the help you need in SASC :)

The Student Academic Success Center is great! I recently took one of my papers there during drop-in…read morehours to get an opinion on whether or not my thesis statement was clear and if I had written enough analysis to back up my examples. I wrote my name on the sign in sheet and it only took about 5 minutes for a tutor to call me into the room! The tutors were very friendly and explained what my essay was missing in detail. They also suggested ways that I can fix the little mistakes they found rather than just telling me what was wrong. Not only did they focus on helping me fix the small errors like grammar, they helped me look at the bigger picture of my essay. They also really addressed the concerns I had with my essay by making sure my thesis had a clear single focus and my personal examples had enough analysis by the time I left SASC. Overall, my experience with the drop-in tutors for writing was great! I also had the chance to make an appointment and meet with a writing specialist. I made the appointment online at their website and went in to meet with a specialist named Larry. He was also very friendly and helped me really convey the message I wanted to by encouraging me to add more details to my essay. I enjoyed how he didn't do any of the rewriting for me; he would ask me questions about certain parts of my essay and have me write the corrections next to what I had originally written in the margins of my paper. This helped me better understand how I was lacking analysis, and then apply it later on in my writing. He also taught me the TAXES concept. T stand for the topic, A stands for the assertion, X stands for example, E stands for the explanation, and S stand for significance. I've been applying this to my writing and ever since I've been writing very well. Overall, my experience with a writing specialist was very informative and enjoyable. I still continue to go back to SASC for writing help because all of the tutors and specialists are very supportive and are always willing to help. They offer help for any type of writing, not only UWP, and they know exactly what the professors are looking for in the assignments. From one UC Davis student to another, SASC is the place to go when you need help with college writing.

I worked with Max on calculus 2 tutoring from November 2020-April 2021. I had just failed calc 2…read moreand getting a tutor was my last hope and I am so happy I found Max! Max has a ton of resources available besides your own textbook and homework. For example I struggled with topics in calculus 2 that were foundational steps from pre-cal and calc 1 - thankfully Max had pdf textbooks and resources for pre cal and calc 1 that he could easily share with me so I didn't have to waste time searching on google or YouTube for help. When I first met Max I was feeling very overwhelmed, embarrassed, and severely lacked confidence in math. After having a few sessions with him I noticed how supportive he was and how much he genuinely cared about me understanding the material even if it took hours and multiple tries for me to understand it. He never made me feel judged or less than and that was one of the best feelings. The style of tutoring that I did with max was Monday Wednesday Fridays for 1 hour each on zoom. I would listen to my calc 2 lectures & work on the homework problems and when I came a across a topic/problem that I struggled with I would clearly identify what I was confused about. Then after I identified the issue I would email max a detailed explanation of why I was struggling with this specific problem and I would attach a screenshot of my attempted work on the problem. This style of tutoring worked tremendously well for me! Because I would clearly tell max what exact problems/topics I wanted to go over ahead of time we were able to maximize each tutoring sessions together! Max is not the type of tutor who is going to do your homework for you - so if that is what you are looking for then I'm sorry. But if you are a hard worker, genuinely try each problem, take good notes, and care to learn then Max is the tutor for you :) I failed calc 2 with a D in fall 2020 semester. I re-took it in spring 2021 semester with having Max as my tutor and I finished with a 95% in the class. I could go on and on about how thankful I am to have found Max as my tutor, but if you have any questions or want to know more about my own experience feel free to email me at hannahajax7@gmail.com

Max is a real pro and I have benefitted so much from his experienced and thoughtful teaching style,…read moreskill set, and personalized approach. Not only did Max get me to where I needed to be to pass Statistics, he also showed me approaches to learning that helped me become a much more successful and confident student overall. I am an older re-entry student, and I had little confidence in my math skills which were rusty at best!. Max was able to guide me through complex material in a way that was compatible with my learning style and knowledge gaps. He did not so much "teach" me statistics.... he showed me how to approach the material and the concepts and we built a framework for learning that was very successful. Max embodies the very best skills of an experienced tutor and coach. He was with me through the entire semester step by step. We are now tackling Chemistry together. Max is a winning combination with insight and wisdom and the ability to partner with students.

The Tutors were well prepared, had excellent teaching/tutoring skills, were reliable and absolutely worth the investment. A few years back, my son needed help with calculus during his senior year of high school. The UC Davis student who tutored him was outstanding.

I am a single mother with a son that is dyslexic. Although my son is very bright, he needs extra support at home with homework in order to succeed in school. I, myself am dyslexic and I cannot give him the help that he needs. I rely solely on outside support. I contacted Rich Lee in 2012 and told him about my situation. He has been the kindest, most understanding man and is very sensitive to my needs. He sent me a bright young girl that we call Yaya. She is professional, smart, prompt, knowledgeable, humble, respectful, hardworking, caring, and patient. My son loves her and spends hours doing homework with Yaya and never gets bored. Yaya is willing to go the extra mile to make sure my son gets what he needs to keep the straight A's he is getting in school. She comes whenever we need her, even weekends and emergencies. She has become part of our family. Rich Lee seems to have a gift of pairing tutors with children. We are so blessed and thankful for coming to ClubZ! We will continue to use Rich Lee's services until my son graduates from high school. I highly recommend ClubZ! to all those struggling parents that seem to think their is no other solutions. I do not know what I would do without Rich Lee and his services. I would like to say thank Rich Lee and Yaya for all your support.

Coming from the public school system to Stetson has been so amazing and my kids have excelled in all aspects! The staff is caring, professional, and genuinely invested in each student's success. You can absolutely see how much they all care about the kids! They create a positive, supportive environment where students feel encouraged to learn and grow. There was not a morning that my girls said they did not want to go to school, which says so much! Communication with families is excellent, and it's clear that everyone works hard to help students reach their full potential. We look forward to and are excited to be part of the Stetson family! I highly recommend Stetson Academy to anyone looking for a school that truly cares about its students.

In my opinion, this establishment is just a glorified tutoring center. There seems to be concerning…read moreissues and signs of neglect: - Leaving young children behind on campus during a trip off-campus - ⁠Taking elementary children to visit potentially unsafe locations (e.g. nursing homes that seems to house convicted sex offenders for crimes against minors) - Aggressively pushing NDAs on parents for wanting to pull their kids, preventing them from sharing specific events and experiences - Asking for full-year tuition when parents express reasons for wanting to withdraw their children (e.g. kids are struggling to adjust or if parents simply have concerns that were not addressed) - Terminating families and kicking kids out of school abruptly without providing a reason, citing "termination for convenience" in retaliation, if parents express questions or concerns about the academic setting or safety. - Giving a peanut product to a kids with allergies/intolerances - Sending utterly unprofessional emails to parents belittling their former teachers and the families who left, seemingly in an attempt to justify their actions and convince families to stay. Making strange remarks about funding challenges in such emails and claiming "they don't have an associated church to help them like other schools". - Excluding children from "rewards" or "special activities" if they didn't contribute to fundraising or if they didn't contribute enough, by setting a "goal/price tag" to certain rewards, creating division and emotional stress among children all ages. - Punishing children by not allowing them play during recess when they think they are misbehaving or not performing enough academically. - Giving children a hard time if they need to use the bathroom during class. In my personal experience, there sure is an effort for marketing, like many photos of smiling children posted on social media. But I would advise everyone to pause for a moment before signing anything. These are based on my personal experiences and the experiences that I was informed of by other parents. My opinion is that everybody should have an education attorney review the the contracts/papers provided by this place before signing anything and conduct a thorough research on these issues and talk to other parents who pulled their children.

It started with good start. Than to the end of the session they start changing my son schedule and…read morewant us to make changes according to there needs . We made the change and change his session from Friday to Saturday knowing we have family plans on Saturday . And then they told us we need to change to Friday which is ridiculous as I said before they make changes which suit there center. When I told them that how they charge if we miss session they should refund us the money for canceling or changing our session and they clearly refused it Other thing if my son is late even for 5 minutes they will call you several times to ask if he is coming as coach time is valuable!!! But one day my son got there and there is no one there and no one from center didn't even bother calling and telling us that the coach will be late , so when I call I was told oh coach over slept !! Seriously this is how they do business!!! All I want to say this center does not commit to there schedule and will not refund your money

Deanna will meet with you to develop a personalized plan for your student based on their foundation of knowledge and learning style (she will figure this out for you). They make every possible effort to accommodate your schedule and needs. Before choosing Miracle Math I called several different tutoring centers in the area. I explained my son needed help in math and I was frequently met with the questions: "Where do you want us to begin? What do you want us to focus on?" These questions were both overwhelming and discouraging. I had no idea where to begin. I didn't even really know what areas of math my son struggled with the most. Then I came across Miracle Math. We met with Deanna and immediately I was put at ease. She explained that THEY will figure out where to start, what to focus on and HOW to help my son based on what he knows and how he learns. After an interview and assessment test Deanna explained the results and we formulated a strategy that would best suit my son. Deanna also took care to pair him with coaches she felt would be able to meet his learning style needs. My son has been with them almost a year now and his confidence in math has improved immensely. He is in high school now and thinks math is easy! Thank you Miracle Math team !! You are all so amazing! This has definitely been one of the best investments I could have made for my son.

DO NOT USE VARSITY. If i could give less than one star, I…read morewould. We signed up three weeks ago because my stepdaughter needs help in 6th grade math and language arts. After 3 weeks, we still have not had a successful tutoring session and I have had to spend almost 8 hours on the phone trying to get help. At first, they kept matching her with tutors who were trying to schedule sessions outside of her availability - which was in her profile. We had to do the work of calling and complaining each time we matched with a tutor and they scheduled an incorrect session. For example, she is supposed to have tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We got session requests for Saturday at 7pm. wtf? Then, their customer service sucks. Most of their service reps are outside of the US and there is no way to escalate and talk to a manager. They say that a manager "will call you back in the next 24-48 hours", but if you miss that call, there is no way to call the manager back directly. You have to go through the ENTIRE song and dance again, with a new rep that knows nothing about your case. They FINALLY matched our kid with a tutor available during her time, but only after I spent SEVEN HOURS on the phone with them on Monday and had to talk to multiple different reps. I was hung up on twice by folks who said "what do you want me to do? Ive flagged the problem.". This week, our 6th grader was supposed to start her tutoring but guess what? The tutor has cancelled BOTH SESSIONS this week last minute. On Tuesday, she cancelled about 30 minutes before our session and didnt find another tutor to step in. Today, she cancelled 5 minutes before our session without even a "sorry". I called the customer service line back and have just spent the last 45 minutes on the phone trying to talk to a manager about this with no luck. Interestingly, the customer service reps have no authority to help you with your tutor or cancel your membership. This place is a horrible scam. They do not care about you. They do not care about your children. They do not care about education.

You have the option of a strictly online course, an in class course or both. I took both the online and in class course. It was very helpful because I always had access to each lesson online if I needed to review a lesson. The class is about 4hrs so your bound to space off at some point and this is where the online videos come in handy. I also had to miss a couple of classes but again I was able to see the lessons online. The course material for the LSAT is dense regardless of what prep course you take! However, the humor in the books, online course and the in class instructors make for a fun learning environment. My favorite thing about this course is how learnable they make the material out to be. They have a lot of resources to help students out and do whatever they can to help. My instructor Daniel was very down to earth, friendly and knew exactly what he was doing. I never felt intimidated to ask him to explain something again or in a different manor. My score increased by +14 points so I'm very happy with the experience and result after taking the course. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to increase their score. p.s. Do the homework! It's how you'll increase your score and It will make your experience much better.
