I started working with Dr. Z in high school and continued into college. The biggest difference for…read moreme wasn't just help with classes -- it was learning how to actually manage my time and stay organized. He helped me plan out my week, break down bigger assignments, and keep track of multiple classes at once. When things felt overwhelming, he'd help me step back and put a clear system in place so I didn't fall behind. Because of that, I was able to handle heavier college workloads with way less stress. I'd definitely recommend him to students who struggle with organization, time management, or keeping up with everything at once.

He is very flexible. He tutored our daughter in Algebra 2 and Chemistry and helped her a lot. Our youngest daughter is in third grade and he was instrumental in helping her understand story problems, multiplication and feeling more confident in math. I cannot recommend Dr. Z enough. He has become part of our family and even our dogs can't wait for him to come over.

I had almost all of my tutoring sessions at Peninsula Academy. After moving from Shanghai to Palos…read moreVerdes about 5 years ago, I was greatly struggling with English. Then I came to Pen Academy to seek for an English tutor. JJ was the one who helped me the most with my speaking, writing, and reading skills, and he helped me to get a decent score on SAT (1500). Other tutors I have had include TJ, Joseph, and Jason who helped me with math, biology, and physics, and I had great experiences with all of them. When it comes to the time of college application, my college counselor Ji spent a lot of time with me brainstorming about the college essays. She encouraged me to be the person I want to be and express myself in my essays. Finally, all of these got me into my dream college. Learning at Peninsula Academy was a very enjoyable experience as the tutors do not only help you to achieve academic success but also care about your personal well beings.

After looking at several houses for sales, I asked my realtor to drop me off at the ice rink which is my daughter's most favorite activity. We passed by the Peninsula Academy. I told my wife this is a great place for our daughter to enrich her English. Kay Lee, the deputy director of the academy was there, she was extremely helpful and listened to me on our needs. She recommended Kathy Kerstein as my daughter's English teacher. We moved our family on July 28, 2017. It's a Friday. My daughter Yiyi started Kathy's one to one class for the whole summer and once-twice a week during the school year. Apparently, she did extremely good at her ENGLISH LEARNER'S class. She moved on with Kathy's help, she got into Stanford's summer school, UCSB Research Mentoring Program. From a Chinese speaking little girl, hardly can speak a full paragraph to a young adult commanding her English In three and half years. My daughter, applied for colleges this year, she got admitted for UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, UCSD. For private institutions, she got Harvey Mudd (finalist for President's Scholarship, she declined), Columbia University and Caltech. She accepted the offer from Caltech and will be the 2025 class of Caltech. Kathy Kerstein is a great teacher, she is always available and ready to help, I would like to thank the Academy for all the supports. Chung

Ellie was great for helping me with my college apps. I didn't know what where or how to even…read morebegin, so she walked me through the whole process. She helped me make (and later narrow down) my college list; she also knew about a lot of colleges I never thought about or even heard of. She was also a huge help with my essays: she helped me think of topics that would appeal to admissions officers, guided me through the writing process (like what was/wasn't appropriate to put on the essay, how to make the essay more compelling, etc.), and gave me tips and feedback on how to better my essay. I felt like she really got to know me and helped me to differentiate myself from other applicants and show admissions who I really am. Thanks to her, I was accepted into UC Berkeley!!! Seriously, A+++, 5 thumbs up, 17/10, 8 stars. I couldn't be more thrilled with not only the results but the time I spent with her working on my apps. She made the whole process as painless as possible.

From day one, I knew this place was different. Agnes, the owner, is warm and thoughtful, and Claire, who works one-on-one with Beau, is patient, fun, and truly understands how to support him. What stood out the most? They learned Beau loved Spider-Man and had Spider-Man items waiting for him on his very first day. That thoughtful gesture made him feel safe, seen, and excited to come back. Since starting, Beau has grown tremendously--not only in reading, writing, and math, but in confidence and social skills too. He wants to go to tutoring now, which is something I never thought I'd say! If you're searching for a tutoring center that genuinely connects with your child and fosters real growth, BriteMinds is it. We're so grateful we found them.

Our 5th grade son started at Mathnasium last summer, and it has been such a positive experience for…read moreour family. What really stands out is how personalized the program is. They truly take the time to understand each child's pace, strengths, and areas that need improvement. It doesn't feel like a one-size-fits-all approach at all. Our son feels supported rather than pressured, which has made a big difference in his confidence. He often tells us he likes the way the instructors explain things because they make concepts easier to understand. The reward system is also a huge motivator for him -- he's always excited to earn cards and works hard to reach his goals. A special thank you to Joey and Aileen. They carefully track his progress and regularly update us, which we really appreciate as parents. It's reassuring to know exactly where he stands and how he's improving. We're very grateful to have found this center and would definitely recommend it to other families looking for a structured yet encouraging math environment.

My class (PE) was doing something on the basketball court while his class was doing the mile run on the field. I remember seeing him lying on the floor from afar, he was left unattended the entire time!!! Near the end of the school day the ambulance finally came, and the next day all the students were talking about how he was pronounced deceased. I cannot even begin to discuss how disgusting and unworthy those "teachers" were. They don't even deserve that label. He was only 12 years old!!! They didn't supply us with any water, or even cared to make sure any of us had any food. There's 4 water fountains that would get packed with over 20 students, and most of the time water wouldn't even come out... so you'd have to French kiss the faucet. Gross. I'm sure they don't have the same teachers and staff as I did, but this school is really bad. But Dana was worse. If I had a child I would seriously drive the extra miles to put them anywhere but here. I also got relentlessly harassed because I lived in San Pedro, there's many students from a ton of different city's... but again, not sure how it is anymore but my experience was bad.
