The tutors were good. However, the people who are supposed to consult with you about college were…read morevery egotistical. They are overly confident in their material when their tests have shown to be inaccurate from the current DSAT tests. Their AP exam reviews are all resources that can be found online. They claim to have spent thousands of dollars on their material just for them to be very mediocre and sometimes inaccurate. They do not adapt to a student's method of learning and try to squeeze as much money as possible out of each student. This isn't about the tutors, but the people who run the franchise and the organization itself. My best advice is to study on your own and stop wasting money for these classes. They rarely help. Their statistics are heavily biased as well (which is ironic considering they give out free AP Statistic textbooks) and if you've taken AP Stat, you'd know. The only good aspect about their service is the free textbooks (as aforementioned with the AP Stat textbooks), which are cheaper than the $4000 packages they're offering. Hope this helps anyone who is considering signing up for these courses or anything similar to this. Again, study by yourself. These are never worth it. (I signed up in December of 2024. I still have hours left at the time of writing: June 3, 2025.)

The adult band rehearsals are a stupid amount of fun! I started out as a guy who wanted to be a "rhythm guitar" player who just wanted to play power chords and not practice scales and now I'm enthusiastic about practicing scales so I can improve my soloing. All of the teachers are very supportive (even with my terrible singing). Even 15 months later, I look forward to guitar lessons. The school has great social distancing and other practices in place to keep everyone safe during these crazy times.

Disappointed a bit today. First of all, the selection of ceramics to paint was sparce. I wanted to…read morepaint with my Granddaughter however there was nothing that interested me...and with the $10 sitting fee...I didn't think it was worth it with the lack of choices. She decided to paint a vase for her Mom and a small leaf plate for her Dad. There was really nothing she wanted for herself. Like I mentioned the selection was terrible. Secondly, we were left upstairs by ourselves while the only employee was working in the basement. She was very sweet and pleasant but how many times can you ring the bell and have her run up the steps? We struggled with a few of the small bottles of paint and they were out of brown paint. We got most everything on our own. Not sure the reason we needed to leave a tip?!! Last time here I was even more disappointed as I was with a group of ladies. We did ceramic trays in the basement. We had to get up and search for the employee to get more tiles, glue and paper towels. We all spent $45 or $50 (I forget exactly) and we were sent home with un-finished trays. We were given powder to mix the grout at home. The instructions were pathetic. I ended up purchasing ready made grout from an art supply store to finish my project. I would NEVER recommend doing a big mosaic project here. It was not what I expected and I felt ripped off with my time and money. Two times in a row I left feeling frustrated. We love coming here but the place seems a bit neglected.
