For those of us with at least a passing interest in (Jungian) psychology--the collective…read moreunconscious, archetypes, and spirituality--this group offers a regular calendar of lectures and workshops centered on the work of the famed Swiss psychologist. The lectures and workshops that immediately follow them are led by noted professionals and authors in the field who are invited by the society. More focused than the Theosophical Society, etc. More rigorous than most "New Age," to which there is more than a passing resemblance. Though I have not been a member in the past few years, I always looked forward to hearing about their events. There is a free lending library. Located in the Good Shepherd Center in Wallingford, in the same wing of the building as the Alliance Francaise. New members and other interested parties--therapists and laymen alike--are always welcome. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/20/magazine/20jung-t.html?hpw

The Tutoring center were very good about providing a clear plan and structure for her to follow and helped develop her foundation skills and then got her up to speed on the lessons.

The kids who were the tutors were goofing around instead of helping her. It's great that they are trying to teach the teens responsibility by having them tutor, but they need supervision. We talked to them several times about this and each time they promised to fix it, with no improvement. In short the tutors are just high schoolers, and without supervision they are just babysitters. My daughter was so excited to get her grades up, and was crushed that they let her down.

Grades have gone up for both of them and they are now A/B students taking honors/IB classes. The staff is very flexible on scheduling, and will add additional days to tutor if tests are coming up. My older son tried to get help from his Geometry teacher after school but there was a line of students waiting at her desk for help and it was a huge waste of time. Once he was able to tutor at Highline Tutoring Center he went up from a D to a high B. Our school district is too poor for mathbooks so teachers were using handouts to teach Math but that is a funding problem in Washington State. Highline Tutoring and Testing Center in Burien is great!

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.
