My 1st grader has been attending the tutoring center for a few months now and the level he is studying here is surprising. I reviewed the materials he is solving, and it's definitely ahead of what I thought he was capable of. He was writing letters in mirrors images pretty recently, but the stuff in the workbook here that he was reading and writing reminded me of PSAT (for those old enough to remember those) . Of course, to do these, he needs attention and guidance from a teacher at a much lower ratio than what we can get from school, and here, it's kept at about 2 students per teacher. Being a fidgety flighty 6 yr old boy (hopefully normal?) I don't know how much he learns in his school class of 26 kids and I don't have the skills to teach him myself so I started sending him here for professional help twice a week to make sure he doesn't fall behind. Looks like mission is being accomplished so far! And most importantly, he enjoys learning here, which made it part of our weekly routine now. They offer a free assessment, where the student takes a test and they come back with analysis on the student's level and recommendations. It's a nice computer printout that Mr. Chow goes over with you. And then you can decide to enroll or not, and how often to attend and what times you'd like. It was a nice way to get started, as well as probably the first time I got my child assessed on anything. Thankfully he tested slightly above his grade level, but upon examining the questions, I did notice it would've resulted differently had we not done a few reading sessions on our own just the week prior to the assessment, as the vocab tests were specific. So it's not perfect, but still a really useful experience for the child and the parent! read more

We're very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend this center. read more

After my 2nd daughter attended different tutoring location, I found that the program that the Tutoring utilizes doesn't it translate well for older kids ( Jr High). The focused curriculum that follows what is taught at the school is impactful in the learning and grade. To sum, this tutoring place is not a fit for older kids, it is better for younger elementary school kids. read more

I signed my 5 year old girl up for some extra help in reading about a month ago. She's super bright but her public school kinder class had a lot of kids and with 26 kids per class, she just didn't get the guidance needed to become a confident reader in school. The center did a free assessment and figured out exactly where she needed to focus, and we signed up for just that. Twice a week for an hour each, she works with the tutors here. This took all the stress out of having to catch her up for what she should have been taught in her kinder class. My girl couldn't be more excited to go, mainly because she loves to learn and loves the reward system. read more

We signed our girl up for classes at this location, and she is really enjoying it and learning a lot. The staff are super nice, the place is clean and quiet. Her reading and writing is improving so we plan to keep taking her here as long as she is enjoying it and improving. They do have a nice waiting room for the parents. We also liked the selection of times and dates of the classes. A+ read more

I admit, I never thought I'd become a stereotypical Asian tiger mom, but I think I am. We aren't sure if our 6-year old daughter is at the academic level that she should be at since we don't have anything to measure her against. We want to make sure she is doing well going into first grade and that there aren't any learning disabilities we aren't aware of, so we took her to the Tutoring Center for a free assessment. Our daughter was apprehensive when we told her we're taking her in for a test. She wanted to cover her face as she was walking in. However, all her fear and anxiety was gone shortly after the owner Tony and his wife Sandra greeted us. They were so good with our daughter, making her feel at ease immediately. Sandra took her in and started the assessment while Tony sat outside with me during the assessment. Tony explained to me in detail the tests being done on our daughter, and what to expect if we decide to sign her up afterward. He was very patient in answering all my questions about the center and the qualifications of the tutors. The assessment took about an hour. When my daughter came out, she was bouncing around with a free toy she had earned like nothing had happened. I took her to lunch while the results were being analyzed. When we returned, Tony, Sandra, and their head instructor Mike sat down with me and my daughter. They showed me her test results and explained the methodology behind the tests and the scores. Most importantly, we uncovered that our daughter felt the teacher at school was going too fast sometimes for her, and that her classmates were too noisy for her sometimes to focus. Those are invaluable information that we can communicate to her school and to her teacher to aid in her learning. They also recommended the tutoring program best suited for our daughter based on the results, with pricing information clearly spelled out so there are no surprises. We are very impressed by the professionalism and care Tony and his team provided to us. Our daughter is already talking about going back! read more

Anthony Chow and his incredible staff are amazing. My son currently goes here and has improved drastically ever since. Before coming here, my son struggled in school with his math. Thanks to these awesome tutors and the dedicated staff committed to my seeing my son succeed, my son's scores has risen tremendously, along with his confidence. The Tutoring Center has made a big fan out of me based solely on how personal they are for me as a parent and how welcoming they are to my son. What sold me was that they actually care about children succeeding not just in school, but also in life. Plus, I'm amazed at the level of positivity poured into these children each time they start their sessions with their motivating pep talks that encourages these children to aim higher. My son is a product of this incredible environment and I humbly owe that to Anthony Chow and his esteemed colleagues. read more

I happened to visit this place last Monday with my sister since she was looking for a good tutoring center. This place is a little hidden gem inside Rolling Hills Plaza. Anthony the owner is such a nice man. He showed us everything in and out of his center. I could feel the enthusiasm from a young man who is willing to go extra miles to build his business by offering 150% of what he has to help the kids to be successful in school. Stop by and give it a try, you will be satisfied. read more

Anthony, Sandra and their team have so much passion for what they do and truly want our kids to improve and succeed! read more

The Torrance Tutoring Center is awesome. Our 5-year old wanted to go to Kumon since she was 4, but since we didn't agree 100% with Kumon method, we kept looking at different tutoring/enrichment programs. We found The Tutoring Center and set up an appointment for a free diagnostic assessment. Through this assessment, we discovered that our daughter is weaker in math. The program is structured in a way that kids will get both English and math. Since she's in Kindergarten (so, she is not yet behind), she was placed in the enrichment class and her sessions are more focused on math since it is her weaker area. This is exactly the concept we have been looking for...the program that is structured, but yet, flexible enough to tailor to our daughter's needs. The place is clean and very kid-friendly. Tony (owner), Sandra (his wife), and the staff always look happy, kind, and attentive. I highly recommend this place. read more

I definitely recommend The Tutoring Center in Torrance! -Kim, Torrance CA read more

My husband and I were very pleased with the service that our 4 year old daughter received. We took her for an assessment, to see where she is at in preparation for kindergarten. The assessment and consultation is free! That was huge for us since other place's we've checked out charge. The assessment is in person, at first I was a little nervous about it, but I felt more comfortable when we arrived. We met with Sandra and Tony they are super nice and very professional. They have their protocols in place to ensure everyone's safety. I really appreciate it that. Another thing we really liked from them was their patience, my daughter was a little hesitant at first and didn't wan to go in, but Sandra was really nice and sweet and was able to gain my daughter's trust that made her comfortable to go in. That was a big plus for me. After, we had the option to set a Zoom meeting for the consultation. It was very informative and helpful. They showed us where my daughter needs a little bit of work and the areas that she is strong in. They covered all of our questions and concerns we had. Another thing my husband and I appreciate it was that during our consultation we were never pushed to make a decision to sign up with them. That conversation only came up when we brought it up. We definitely recommend the Tutoring center for any child's needs I know my little one will benefit a lot from it. read more

Anthony and his wife Anna were great! They gave my son a comprehensive one hour test. Anthony is great with young children, my son didn't complain once about the time he spent testing with Anthony.

I have had the best experience with The Tutoring Center. We knew fourth grade was going to be a challenge for our daughter. After spending the good part of the summer looking at different centers I found Anthony at The Tutoring Center. He explained the philosophy of the one on one and rotation technique and I knew this was going to be a perfect match for my daughters needs. This program is more than "tutoring". With a free assessment they were able to pinpoint her weaknesses in all areas, giving us a clear direction of her lessons while at the center. This school year has flown by without a problem in her academics. She walks into class confident and prepared for the lessons her teacher is giving because of The Tutoring Center. The staff is friendly, personal and know each child and family member by name. This has been a remarkable experience for my daughter. Don't take my word for it-try it yourself. read more

I found the tutoring center while doing a search on Google. I read the reviews and was impressed. I then took my son for the free assessment and was able to see his current level. Mr. Chow thoroughly explained the program and the options available. He took the time to explain the results of the testing and listened to my concerns. My son has improved greatly ever since enrolling in the reading comprehension program. He never wanted to read aloud to anyone but 3 months after starting the tutoring center, he for the first time on his birthday felt proud and confident enough to read all of his birthday cards in front of his whole family. His confidence has improved and he so much less frustrated. He is now passed his 2nd grade level after being behind and struggling for a little bit. The school was recommending retention but after enrolling him in the tutoring center, the teacher noticed the improvement and said there was no need too anymore. I have already recommended a couple of people to call and get more information, since they have similar situations. Thank you to all the teachers for your hard work. read more

I am very pleased with the tutoring that my 12 yr old son and 9 yr old daughter have been recieving for past 3 months. I discovered the Tutoring Center when I noticed that my son's school performance was slipping. Tony was very patient and informative in explaining the program to me. After the free diagnostic assessments, I have a much better understanding about my children's academic strength and also areas that needed improvement. Tony was able to point out my children's individual characteristic after observing them during the 1hour diagnostic assessment, which were all right on. My children have late tutoring session time from 6:30-7:30pm. I was surprised that they can stay focus for 1 hour late in the day and enjoying the sessions as well. They like all the teachers. Tony and Sandra have made the place very friendly and welcoming for my children and me. Recently, I had the 20-weeks review with Tony. I am happy with my children's improvement and progress. I am even more impressed that they are making adjustment to help improve my son's studying technique based on their observation. I highly recommend this place. They definitiely want to help their students reach their potential. read more
