Scheduling is a bit tough but its because we want a specific teacher, but we manage to work it out. Highly recommend

Amazingly school. My son and daughter improved a ton coming here. They have certified teachers who…read moreteach with passion and most clearly helped students improve.

Once in the lobby, a greeting by two security guards/door attendants ensued. It was a basic show me your ID, let us take your photo, here's your guest pass and go through the turnstile at the far end; then take the elevator up to the 12th floor move. Once off the elevator, therein lies Pearson, looking like "Enter Now, ain't no turning back!" As soon as that door is opened, the approximately 30 minute check in process begins. Be sure to grab a number from the stack that is right there as soon as you open the door less you have to turn around and go get one, let the desk aide tell it. It's there for your name to be called, DMV style baby. After that number is grabbed, THEN the process officially begins with the giving of a list of rules and a friendly have a seat. Like the number lady, be hopeful they run your number real quick because when they do, the countdown to exam time starts. And that's when it's all give me your ID, hand scan right and left, photo-op smile and go put your things in a locker. Then you may sit down. Wanna use the restroom, there's a code for that. After being called by number, it goes in order, head to the back and a Corrections Officer, I mean aide will have you pulling out your pockets, body checking yourself and patting your weave. Then the rules clearly posted on the wall will be read and then and only then can you be escorted to the room in which the examination will take place. Oh you nervous ha because it's too cold in the room ha wishing you had a NorthFace coat on ha, and now you gotta read the Declaration of Independence on the screen ha and all you wanna do is take the test and be done ha. Well it's a paper chase and to succeed one must pass. So to all the MCAT's, GMAT's, GRE's, other Test Takers and Certification seekers, 100 William Street is where it's at. For exam taking purposes only.

Going through TSA is probably more pleasant than taking a test at Pearson testing centers…read more Monitored testing should not require treating a test-taker like a criminal/ prisoner. Pearson requires you take a picture and to frisk yourself before you enter the testing room. You have to pick up your sleeves and show your arms to the monitors before giving your own body a pat down. Every time you leave to drink water or use the restroom, you have to show ID again and scan your hand again. Taking a test should not require your biometric information in the form of a hand scan. There is no way of getting out of this; you don't offer your hand print, then you can not take the test. What is this private company doing with your hand print and your photo after you take your test? How long are they storing this information in their system and with whom are they sharing it? Unfortunately, not many of the zombie test-takers in the waiting room seem to care; I guess we live in a "brave new world" in which people are so used to giving up their privacy. Wake up!

Finding Young Risers was the best thing that has happened to me. Ms. Yesenia and her staff are…read moreamazing. The love they have for the children is unbelievable. My daughter attended this daycare last year and I was so pleased with the services, I will also be using Young Risers again this year. The place is clean and welcoming the children are always happy as is the staff. As a mother of two finding a great daycare is hard but when you do find a great one you must let everyone know. My daughter loves going to Young Risers and I love that I can go to work feeling great that my child will be in great hands. If you looking for a great daycare in Sunset Park, Bayridge, Park Slope please check out Young Risers you won't regret it.

I feel so blessed to have found Young Risers! We just moved to New York City and this late in the…read moreyear finding spots was so hard. Everyone was either full , insanely expensive or full time only. I just needed a few days a week for my 3 year old and some aftercare for my 5 year old. It's taken me over a month! Finding Young Risers was such a relief. The owner and teacher Gesenia is incredible with the kids and has obviously put a lot of heart into creating the space. It is comparable to any of the over priced park slope preschools. There are sensory stations, all the toys promote imaginative play, an open paint area. The kids are encouraged to explore the room and work on what their interests are. She also takes them out to the playground nearby on a walk rope twice a day. A lot of school the kids never see sunlight even. On top of everything...this amazing place is soooo affordable!!! I won't name the prices, but they are beyond reasonable! Young Risers is relatively new and so there are plenty of spots to fill still. Hurry and check out Young Risers before everyone else does! Thanks Gesenia! We are so happy!

They do not teach the children strategies in test taking such as preparing for the SAT or for a Regents examination. Further, they seem to be out of touch with how my child was doing. They told me my child was doing well in a subject and had great confidence he would do well on a critical upcoming NYS examination. Imagine my shock and displeasure when my child failed! Sylvan refused to refund my money, and suddenly came up with all sorts of excuses as if they never had told me he was doing well. I believe they are OK as far as homework help or as a supplement to classwork. But I would not waste my money here for SAT prep, Regents prep, prep for state exams, etc.

They just want you to come in for a tour this is false advertisement. Don't say you're gonna give someone a price quote and then turn around and say you don't discuss price online LOL being a parent your time is very limited as it is and you telling me you want to give me a tour without telling me a general price is wasting more of my time
