Looks like there are a few reviews from last time I tried googling them in January…read more Decided to learn more about real estate, found this school and thought it was a bit sketchy because of the lack of reviews and it seemed new back when I was looking. I was completely wrong, and very glad to have completed the school. Jose the instructor used to teach elsewhere before starting the school here, and he's been in real estate for over 10 years. He still has his license, and you know he's good when a lot of the great agents/brokers in the area come to him for training. I typically fall asleep in class, but real estate was something I was eager to learn and Jose delivered, teaching what will help you on the test PLUS what will help you in the real world. Highly recommend, will definitely be keeping in touch.

My son who was in the 7th grade at the time needed to take the SAT (note not the PSAT, the actual…read moreSAT that is usually taken my high school juniors and seniors) for an academic scholarship that he was applying for. The scholarship has a cut off 500 in the math score to apply. He started at Mathnasium in early January and the SATs would be in early April. So he had three months to cover about three years of math if you go by the grade level the SATs usually cover. Only going two, sometimes three times a week, my son was able to score 610 in the math section of the SATs. To top it off, he also won the scholarship. I can't say enough about the quality of the tutoring that Naresh and his staff provides. My son will now start to prepare for the ISEE tests at Mathnasium, and I am sure they will guide him to a great score for that exam as well.

My daughter celebrated her 5th birthday here on May 5th - Cinco De Mayo! We went with an L.O.L…read moreSurprise theme, which I was super excited about since it's the latest craze amongst all the little girls, and I haven't seen the theme done at Bambino Chef yet. I'm a Creative Coordinator, Event Planner and CONTROL Freak! I purchased the V.I.P Package (for up to 10 kids) hoping I could step back a bit and let the awesome and sweet, Rene and her team do their B.C. magic. However, occasionally I would shoot them idea blasts on what I wanted. About 2 weeks before the event, I went full steam into contacting them again, I received the regular reminder phone call that Tuesday to re-review the event plan. I dropped off the self-made banner a couple days prior to the event so that they could have it prior to the party for setup. I created and brought my own gift bags that consisted of the L.O.L Surprise theme, in addition the kids received gift bags that come with the Bambino Chef VIP pkg, which you can choose between a mixing spoon, apron/hat OR bubbles, stickers, etc (usually items you can find at Party City). On Party Day, we arrived and were greeted by the wonderful Bambino Chef team, seeing how it was Cinco De Mayo and the team prefers the parents relax, I brought some Sangria and Guac and we parents hobnobbed while the kids did their thing. Naturally, taking tons of breaks to snap pics LOL My group initially being 10 went down to 8; we had some late arrivals, but the team was good at starting preparation for those kids who came late. Everyone still ate. Not only the Rigatoni they prepared but also the DOMINO PIZZA. Thankfully, I did not have to worry about having a cake made, because the VIP pkg does include cupcake decorating, so once the kids finished their masterpiece cupcakes we sang Happy Birthday and everyone indulged. The venue layout is awesome for children, the kids had enough space to run around and be merry. The final and most exciting touch in my opinion is the Champagne Pop! Struggled a little bit to twist that bottle, but finally got it to twist and the Birthday Girl and her friends received a beautiful Happy Ending. My only reservation for not going full on 5 stars was I didn't see my vision come to light with some of the ideas I emailed to them. There isn't one person to communicate this part with. Also, there is NO ONSITE PARKING; metered parking which you have to feed every 20 minutes. This part did make it a bit of a hassle for my guests.

From the planning through execution they demonstrated professionalism with a personal touch. Everything was meticulously planned. I hardly had to do anything - just got my family, guests, and some adult beverages. The kids had an amazing time. The parents could relax, merry, and also, engage with their kids to make pretzels. Everyone praised what they witnessed from start to finish. Many said this was their best kid's birthday party in recent times. What more can I ask as a parent! Oh and did I say how the birthday cake vanished in minutes (it was soooo yummy). I thank Rene and her TEAM of amazing party planners and chefs for making the event memorable for us and our guests. We will back soon for the cooking classes.

With the Financial District as home base, the city didn't feel overwhelming, unlike other schools which are larger and in areas with more distractions. Thanks to some great professors and NYC opportunities, I've had a marketing career that has surpassed all expectations. I loved the balance of what Financial District had to offer so much so that I lived and worked there for many years after. Yes, there is a lot of complaining and to be clear, some people are better suited at places with more campus resources especially given the prices these days. But those I knew who were self-starters thrived here for the most part. As with life, it's what you make of it.

To ALL parents, stay far away from this place…read more The teachers and teachers assistants in the actual classrooms are lovable, caring and easy to speak with. However upper management including directors and finance directors are crooks and the place itself extremely overpriced for a run down and dated facility . Upper management (women in the office) are rude, uneducated and extremely unreasonable, They are all about the money and not there for the benefit of the children/parents, Not to mention the facility needs some updating, dingy dirty walls, hallways and bathrooms. This place should be a state of the art facility based on how they rob the parents. I am very unhappy with this place and extremely applaud by Sophie's (Finance director) treatment towards me, a single mother of 2 when I expressed a cancellation of a summer camp application. Yes I understand policy, yes I understand protocol, however that does not give you the right to yell at a LOYAL, PAYING PARENT. It was unacceptable and I urge all parent to look else where. Do not deal with these money hungry, extremely unreasonable, uneducated, rude ladies. Stay far away!

I am also a special instructor for a few universities where I teach a course on Data Science and technology. Now for my review on more the facility and educational offering... If I had a child that was resonating stronger towards the sciences, math, technology, or arts - there would be no doubt to have my child take classes here. The facility is using state of the art and in some cases groundbreaking technology. 3D printing, Macs, Garage Band, Minecraft, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Robotics and they also have courses that teach computer and data languages like Python and Java. However, the METHOD that is used (as I took a bit of courses myself next to a 5 year old) is using building blocks and visual methods to showcase not just how something works but WHY it works. The instructors are all HS and College students that seem to be able to interact better with younger kids better than most adults. The kids were inquisitive and the instructors didn't seem to mind all the questions and can explain using items kids already know (like Legos) and adding in cooler other features like batteries to turn their Legos into robots. I wish Zaniac would start to consider some of these course for adults as well. The skills the kids are learning are great foundation courses and are skills that are marketable today. The location is also pretty convenient to the PATH and other businesses nearby. Bottom Line: This is a great offering for children and a way to keep them learning and curious but also building valuable skills.

Some small fixes like one or two less programs, a schedule sent to parents in advance(not after day 1) and email summaries of the day or week would go a long way. While the local private schools don't have the same technical focused camps, the attention and care to these basic details are fully covered. While your kids may enjoy playing Minecraft, not clear they learn much.

Honestly, we were a little desperate. We needed to get our kid out of his daycare and River School had a waitlist for forever, so we took a chance on ELA. It was close to our place and an easy walk to PATH. Oh my gosh, I am so glad we did. My child blossomed so much at ELA. He was coming home knowing his alphabet, his numbers, singing songs. Truly truly great experience. The teachers loved him so much that they all literally came out and cried on his last day. We really wanted to come back to Yelp and give them a stellar review because they deserve it and they deserve a serious look for any parent in the area.
