    This review pertains to my experience with proctored testing at this center. I am studying online…read morefrom BYU, and as part of the course, I need to take 3 proctored exams. Since this center is conveniently located, I decided to contact them. 1. The person I spoke to was courteous, and told me that they take a fee of $95 that covers 4 exams. I said I have only 3 exams, do they pro-rate it? Answer: No. I thought that's OK (bad decision!). So I took my first exam in Oct' 14. I paid the $95. 2. It was time to take up my second exam in December. I left them a message. The guy replied saying I could go ahead and have BYU send them the exam. Upon calling BYU, I was told that this center is no longer a registered testing center for college level exams and that Sylvan ought to have informed me well in advance! Great! 3. I called up Sylvan again with this concern. Nobody called me back, and I was getting jittery (obviously!) and so just went directly to the center to talk to the guy to give me back my money (at least part of it). I was prepared with a nice speech to give him if he was rude to me! ;) Well, he was polite enough, and said that he would call me back after talking to his "boss." 4. He did call me back the next day and left me a message saying that their fee is a flat fee, and they will not give me a refund. PERIOD! I was mad and disappointed, but well, that's that- $95 bucks down the drain! I finally took my exam after the holidays at Bellevue College, a much more professional place. Their policy is $35 per exam. WAY better than Sylvan's whole "flat fee" tactic. Lesson Learned: I am never going back to Sylvan to take any more exams, nor will I be sending my kids there!

    Leslie is an amazing, patient tutor who worked with my anxious daughter to help double her SSAT…read morescore. More importantly, however, she gave her the support and confidence to face the exam without the crippling fear she had initially. Leslie was like a cheerleader with a ring of flashcards, able to explain things in novel ways and help motivate my kiddo to keep at her studies without it just being mom nagging. I cannot praise her enough for how much of an impact she made.

We Believe: * Every child deserves the right to succeed and feel good about himself/herself * Every child should be respected for who he/she is as an individual * Kids who are engaged learn best * Early intervention promotes success * Parents should take an active role in their child's education How We're Different: What makes our tutoring approach different than other tutors or tutoring centers is that we create a specialized program for each child. Our extensive classroom experience and curriculum knowledge let us pull from the best curriculum available. The result is a custom program for each child and plan for his/her success. Children feel a continued sense of accomplishment and their confidence grows as they achieve their goals. What "Our" Kids Say About Success: * "When I do well at something, I feel happy and excited." * "It makes me feel good like passing in school" * "You want to cheer and you're proud of yourself." * "It makes me happy."

    This is our family's third attempt at a tutoring for our now second grader, after failed attempts…read moreat Kumon and abacus classes. I figured I'd give it one more shot now that we recently moved from Bellevue to the Plateau/Highlands area. I purchased a bargain voucher for six sessions for one subject, admittedly not expecting much. (hint: their name ends with "on") Originally learned about this BIC location during kids' swimming class when I saw a pair of third graders doing their BIC tutoring homework in the bleachers. When I ran into a former neighbor of mine on our second week, I knew I might be onto something. The Issaquah location is open three times a week (Tue, Thur, Sun) and is managed by Mr Victor Ho. Victor also started a new Wednesday sessions at the EX3 Teen & Rec Center on the Samm. Plateau. BIC "Enrichment Courses" are divided into English and Math subject. Each session is 75 minutes long for one subject. Victor Students seems to be grouped by age/grade You have several students under the supervision of an adult teacher, and the students are expected to work on their own, "study hall" style, until they are stuck or otherwise have a question. Private tutoring this is not. Most of the hard work is at home, where the parents have to establish ad maintain a daily study routine for each kid. I've also noticed lot of anxious parents prepping their 6-8 year olds for the Cogat and achievement exams (I'm no sure if the latter is ITBS or Stanford10). Basically it's whatever BSD, ISD and LWSD are dishing out. I have no opinion on this particular offering, other than that it's popular and probably worth checking out if that's your focus. Ultimately, what sets the Issaquah operation apart is the dedication and accessibility of the branch manager, who has been receptive to and patient with my many questions and concerns about our kids progress (or sometimes, the lack thereof). Victor has been willing to tweak things so we can emphasize topics where there are gaps in understanding or merely insufficient mastery. Vic is also eager to hear about any errors / typos in the problem sets, as well as of any subpar tutoring sessions. As you'd expect, the tutoring competition is stiff on the Eastside but they seem to be thriving. Don't let their unassuming exterior and frankly, dingy interior fool you -- what they save on rent / furniture, they pass on the savings to you! (Seriously, BIC rates are lower than our previous tutoring programs.) This is a system that appears to be working for our children.

    Great tutors! The center has helped my children understand math better. Plenty of parking and…read morevery organized center.

    BIC Issaquah is located in a modest office park next to McD's on Gilman Blvd.  Not much to look at, but we've had good luck!
