Anshika is a…read morefantastic teacher, she's super patient with the kids and explains things in a way that actually makes sense. I especially like her teaching style. She breaks things down algorithmically and gives practical real-world problem statements that help students truly understand how to apply what they're learning. My son has improved a lot and genuinely enjoys the classes. In short, I'm happy I found a place that maintains good transparency with parents at every step.

I ended up signing up for the bridge the gap program and writing program. It was advertised for 30 hours. It's a week program - and when you sign up - I signed up for 9-12 ( 3 hours)--- so I figured the "30 hours" was for 2 weeks. I will show screen shots. The business owner told me when signing up to give my sons email. Days before -- no email on what to bring. I messaged Anshika, the business owner and asked her what to bring. She said no need to bring anything -- and that the class is now 9:30-11:30. So class is cut down 1 hour. This weeks class is only 4 days - which would mean it's 8 hours of instruction. She explained that most kids can not sit that long and that her teachers are highly qualified and that we are paying a cheap price for what we are getting. She said she would give us the extra hour for free-- even though our receipt indicates the class is 9-12. $335 is not cheap for a 4 day class. First day of class- we are the only participants in this class. We are told that my son has huge gaps and that his writing is messy. 2nd day - I mention that he does have adhd but he has ok grades. He is not disruptive and he is willing to learn. 30- 45 mins later - I get a call that because I am unsatisfied with the program that she will credit me and that I can pick up my son at anytime. She said they are not equipped to teach someone who has adhd and to mention it on Yelp. I was credited my full amount for both classes that I signed up. I do not recommend this business. They have highly qualified teachers that are not willing to teach someone who has learning gaps per the owner. The owner should not be in customer service.

This was our first time at iCode, and I was so impressed that I had to share! It's rare to come…read moreacross a new program where your 5-year-old immediately connects with both the class and the teacher on the very first try. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, catering to multiple age groups, with instructors who are either former software engineers or MS in Computer Science graduates who truly enjoy teaching kids. The program provides a strong STEM foundation while supporting progressive learning at every stage. For after-school, they offer homework help, school pick-ups, and engaging activities like Chess, Coding, and Robotics. They also run 1-2 hour classes throughout the week for extra enrichment. The facility itself is fantastic--plenty of parking, clean and modern spaces, new infrastructure, and loads of fun tools and toys for kids to explore.

He loves Roblox and gaming, and iCode set everything up from pizzas, drinks, gaming stations, even a customized greeting and fun music. The kids got to play together in one room (plus an extra space for more players) and even drove a robotic car. It was three hours of nonstop fun, and we barely had to lift a finger, we just brought the donuts. Their team coordinated everything and made it effortless for us. We originally looked at renting a gaming truck, but this was so much better. Our son said it was one of his favorite birthdays. Highly recommend!

My daughter and son both joined the Tutoring Club in 2023 and have been attending ever since…read more Before finding them, I struggled to get the right support for my daughter--most tutoring centers were either too expensive or not open to working with kids on the spectrum. Tutoring Club, however, was very inclusive and accommodating from the start. I have the highest regard for Anil and his son, who run this center. They are soft-spoken, humble, polite, and--most importantly--very understanding and flexible. Before joining, both of my kids had difficulties with comprehension and writing. While it took some time, the dedicated tutors at Tutoring Club made a real difference. Their efforts helped strengthen my kids' reading and writing skills, which clearly showed in their most recent CAASPP scores. I credit the Tutoring Club for this progress. If you're looking for a tutoring center that is not only effective but also INCLUSIVE and supportive, Tutoring Club is truly worth exploring. I would recommend them anytime, to anyone.

Anil and team, thank you for giving the kids confidence in their subjects as they navigate through the San Ramon school system.

I like it here, my kid likes it here, and she seems to be learning. Although anything would have helped my little struggling kid. The neighborhood is a tiny bit sketch (by Tri-Valley standards i guess), but it's fine. It's near a dollar store and a pub. If you'd like to connect the dots, you may. But anyhoo, if your kid is struggling with math, take them here. You'll see a nice improvement. We're leaving for a bit, only because we have to tighten some finances. But we'll be back for sure.

I wanted to share my personal experience with Mathnasium in Dublin so other parents know what to…read moreexpect. A friend recommended Mathnasium to me, and I found the Dublin location online. I eventually registered for an assessment through their Facebook page. At no point during the online registration process or on the Facebook page did I see any mention that there was a fee for the assessment. I have no problem paying a reasonable assessment fee if it is clearly disclosed upfront. In fact, my daughter has had assessments at two other tutoring centers, and both clearly stated the cost during registration. Transparency is important. The assessment had been scheduled for about three weeks. A few hours before the appointment, the owner called me and said he wanted to go over a few things about the assessment. I was at work and in a hurry, so I told him my daughter would be attending with her father the following morning and that I understood it was simply an assessment to determine her level, after which we would decide whether to enroll.I then said- and it is free of cost.  He then mentioned there was "a small fee." When I asked how much the fee was, he repeatedly said he wanted to discuss several things with me before disclosing the amount. I explained that I simply wanted to know the fee because it had not been disclosed anywhere online. Since my husband was taking our daughter, I did not want him arriving and being surprised by an unexpected charge. After I asked several times, he finally told me the assessment fee was $114. Again, I want to emphasize that the amount itself was not the issue. I was simply disappointed that the fee had not been disclosed during registration. At that point, the conversation changed. His tone became noticeably less pleasant, and he began asking questions such as, "What are you looking for for your child?". "Why did you register- then ?"  and "Why do you want your child here in this program?" I found the conversation uncomfortable because I was simply trying to understand the assessment fee before deciding whether to proceed. I explained that I was working and needed to get off the phone, but I felt pressured to continue the discussion. Ultimately, I canceled the appointment. My decision had nothing to do with the $114 fee. I am happy to invest in my daughter's education. What concerned me was the lack of upfront disclosure about the assessment cost and the change in tone during the conversation. As a parent, first impressions matter. If I don't feel respected during the enrollment process, it makes me question whether that is the environment I want for my child. This review reflects only my experience with the Dublin location. I cannot speak about any other Mathnasium centers, and I'm sure other families may have had different experiences.

This is my second review on Quarry Lane after four years. My younger one has flourished in the past…read moretwo years here and we are incredible grateful for the nurturing environment, especially thankful to his current pre-k teachers Ms. Swati. She has helped my son mastered alphabets, phonics and foundational math skills. Beyond academics, she has also been doing a great job developing his social emotional skills. My son used to be very shy and now with her patience and understanding, he has built strong confidence when interacting with others. In addition, she is also top notch in communicating with us about the development of our son so that we know how to collaborate better with her at home and at school. We feel very fortunate to have Ms Swati as our son's teacher. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking to prepare their kids well for stepping into K. The rest of the school staffs are also wonderful. Ms. Liz, the school Director warmly greets the kids and parents every morning. She is always willing to listen and truly understands the students need. We are very grateful of her and all the school staffs to make QL a wonderful place for our kids to grow and learn.
