Outstanding Leadership and Incredible Results!…read more Michael Lastra, the Center Director at Mathnasium of Altadena, is truly exceptional. Under his leadership, the team has not only welcomed my child with open arms but has also helped her achieve remarkable academic growth--she has advanced three grade levels in math in just over a year! After COVID, my daughter struggled with confidence and lost her interest in math, but thanks to Mathnasium of Altadena, she has completely turned things around. Her attitude toward math is now positive, and homework is no longer a source of stress or frustration. Beyond the incredible academic gains, the welcoming and inclusive culture that Michael has cultivated is remarkable. He and his team truly make every child feel like they belong, and Michael's ability to meet families where they are--always responsive, kind, and understanding--makes all the difference. We also recognize the challenges of maintaining a steady part-time workforce, especially with a college-age team, yet Michael manages this seamlessly. His dedication and ability to lead through these challenges shine. We are so grateful to have found Mathnasium of Altadena. Thanks to Michael and his amazing team, our child is now thriving and back on grade level. Thank you for everything you do! Highly recommend!

It's been 4.5 months of attending 3 days a week and she LOVES math! She has caught up to 3rd grade level math and her confidence has soared. She is motivated by their rewards system, games, summer theme days, and loves the tutors at this location. To my delight, I learned that this location is the flagship site that trains tutors for other locations. I highly recommend Mathnasium Altadena!

I've toured this school twice and I think it is such a lovely campus. The classrooms are intimate…read moredue to the student to teacher ratio. My observation was a well manicured and clean campus, happy children, friendly parent volunteers and staff eager to answer our questions . Olivia, our volunteer parent, who escorted our group around campus was so warm and delightful and shared with us her experience as a parent. Gretchen offered everyone a warm welcome reception prior to the tour and I'm particularly fond of the emphasis on unity and inclusion. It cracked me up to see the kids on unicycles as they attempted to push off from walls and pedal. I found it to be an inspirational outdoor activity ; keep on trying combined with the importance of balance in life. I've noticed many changes in the school from when we first toured it before Covid. There is something to be said about progress during unprecedented times I I observed many wonderful new editions.

Chandler is a unique school that I am very proud to be associated with! Not only did I graduate…read morefrom Chandler, but I am also a parent of a middle school student currently attending. The school provides a well rounded education in one of the most beautiful settings in Pasadena overlooking the Rose Bowl. While I love the fact that Chandler is academically challenging, I also appreciate the importance that the teachers, administrators, and staff place on teaching good values, citizenship, and character. The Chandler community is very strong, and in recent years supported the construction of a new, world-class middle school. While the school is very technologically advanced (all the middle school students have their own laptops), Chandler does a great job balancing this with the more human side of learning. Students learn to think critically, and work both independently and collaboratively. As an alumnus, I still keep in touch with many of my former classmates. They are an amazing group of people who have achieved a lot. If you are exploring schools, be sure to check out Chandler!

My son went to a coding camp during the summer and loved it. He said that the instructor was…read morefriendly and patient and that the camp was very fun.

I really appreciated the quick and open communication. We really enjoyed this camp and hope to be back in the future!

We've been with Huntington Education for almost a year now, and I can honestly say the experience…read morehas been incredibly encouraging for our son. Math has always been a sore spot for him--especially with his slower processing speed--but the support, patience, and structure provided by the Huntington team has made a difference in both his skills and, more importantly, his willingness to keep trying. What stands out most is the level of personal investment the instructors make in each student. Mr. Justin, in particular, has gone out of his way to understand how my son learns and where he needs extra reinforcement. It never feels like a one-size-fits-all program; it's truly tailored support that meets him where he's at and helps him move forward at his pace. As a parent, my biggest concern has always been that he not only improves academically, but also feels capable of keeping up with his peers--and Huntington has been key in helping us move toward that goal. I trust their approach, and we're fully committed to continuing with their program. I can't recommend Huntington Education enough. They've been a steady and positive partner for our family.

Stepping stones helps students of all ages, as I have gone there in elementary school, and now go even in my junior year of high school.

Stepping stones is an excellent candidate for any family's children requiring extra assistance in school.

I love the RIE approach but I cannot recommend the classes enough. It's one thing to read the literature and another to witness and observe your child in the space. I love Ruth Anne Hammond. She is filled with important information and knowledge. Plus, the babies love her and she loves them. Kira subbed for a class I was in once and she was fantastic as well.

However my issue is with the fact that they advertise the ability to come back and brush up on the course for all alumni free of charge, but this is not true. If you try to do this, they will not return your emails or calls. I've tried to sit in on a course and go back for a day or two to brush up on my skills and they will NOT return my calls. They always say "so in so" will call you back and NEVER do. DONT advertise this as a selling point if you aren't willing to fulfill especially when so many other schools offer this.

The location is set up just like a bar with music and dim lights to mimic the real environment, not like a lot of other schools where it's like a science classroom. Flexible scheduling for classes, I couldn't speak highly of the course. Biggest plus is they guarantee job placement when everything is open again, but Raven and the recruiting team were able to find me a full time job within a month of graduating even in the middle of COVID. Already saving up to send my mother here, as it's always been a dream of hers to bartend and Raven has worked with all ages and backgrounds so I feel very comfortable sending her here!
