The tutors are supportive and encouraging, and Taha in particular has been absolutely amazing.

We've been really happy with the progress and attitude towards maths that the classes have encouraged. Highly recommended!

I first started going to Open Thinking Space as a freshman and I continued to attend throughout my…read moresophomore year. What I believe makes this tutoring center unique are the instructors' attentiveness to each individual student, proficiency in all math topics, and commitment to helping each student gain a full and complete understanding of the concepts they're struggling with. Even though there are many students in the center, the instructors ensure each individual feels supported and thoroughly assisted. When I first came to Open Thinking Space, I had a B+ in math that had been challenging for me to raise. After Taha helped me understand several Precalculus concepts in-depth, I was able to end the year with an A. He helped me understand each lesson in a way I wouldn't have been able to myself, as he broke down each concept and taught them in a way where I felt confident answering the challenging questions I encountered at school. I would recommend Open Thinking Space to any student who feels like no matter what they do, math class is always a struggle. I was definitely this student before coming to this tutoring center, but afterwards, I could walk away from each day with a new sense of confidence in the subject I struggled with the most.

She helped her to come up with a list of colleges to apply to and then walked her through the entire process.

She met with her once a week to help fill out actual applications and to review what she had been working on. They would come up with what her focus for the following week would be as well. This really kept her organized and took the stress out of the whole process! We would highly recommend her!

Swati was such a gift to our family during the college application process. She is organized, knowledgeable, supportive and realistic in her assistance, with both students and parents. She took the time to get to know our son, and was then able to speak honestly about a variety of college options for him in a way that he appreciated. She was also able to coach him through the disappointment of rejection, to celebrate his acceptances, and to navigate the final decision-making process with him. He feels so good about his college decision, and that is due in no small part to Swati's support. Thank you Swati! You will absolutely be meeting our younger son in a year or so! :-)

That level of transparency really stood out to us, especially because many counseling agencies may focus more on selling their services. We truly appreciated their integrity, professionalism, and personalized approach. Highly recommend Alex, Heather, and the Brightfox team!

We found Brittany from craigslist when we need someone to tutor our son to get him prepared for that second test. Ms. Brittany did a fantastic job! She has all those right materials and she knows how to get the boy engaged by making teaching a fun experience. Her professional background and experience makes her a very experienced teacher. She is very punctual and she is very efficient too. She utilizes every minute in the session. My boy was able to learn very fast and improved a lot in two weeks. We took him for the second try and he passed! Without Brittany's help, it would be very struggling for him.

We started Kumon at the beginning of summer 2022 to help bring our sons reading up to grade level. With starting school during the pandemic he had fallen behind and everything we tried at home, such as Hooked on Phonics, wasn't working. He was at risk of needing to repeat first grade again. He attended Kumon onsite twice a week and did his learning at packets at home. By September he has improved by an entire grade and is now at his grade level in reading! We also did the math program over summer to keep him from "Summer backslide". It also helped. We received a note from his teacher: "Parker got 100% on his English test! That is very impressive. The English program we use is difficult for a lot of kids. Parker also only missed a half point on his math test this week! And he got 100% on his history test!" Bava is a pleasure to work with. She is very encouraging of the kids. With it being summer we had a lot of different trips and she was able to help accommodate for our plans so that he would stay on track. My son also loves the Kumon bucks reward system and "purchasing" prizes. Overall, it is a very well designed program and Bava and team do a great job!
