Teachers are always tentative on all kids' needs and work hard to make sure kids are taken care of. Summer programs are both educational and fun, meaning half day of math, reading, and Chinese, and half-a-day of activities or out to the nearby park. I really like this place and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a good after school program for their kids.

Hi Ajit, Any chance I can get my $200 back for an initial consultation that was absolute nonsense?…read moreI have kindly asked for my money back multiple times. I want you to known that telling my kid who is STEM focused taking 10+ APs to consider taking a ceramics course doesn't cut it for a $200 initial consultation. JUST GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. Just letting you know that your responses on your reviews of people who complain about your service is underwhelming. Improve your service and you will do much better. Ajit, I will continue to complain about the service I received to every Indian parent that I know in the Bay Area. If you think otherwise, you don't know me well... Based on your "Stanford MBA" education, you may certainly know that word travels fast in the Bay Area. A simple suggestion to all who read this (including you Ajit) - Do NOT pay $200 for an initial consultation. Simply request a free initial consultation so that you are aware of the all of the program details, the costs, and the proficiency level of the counselor. If they can't give you a free consultation, move on and find another program. Believe me, there are plenty of programs that give you all the information that you need without paying fees to find out. They should be selling you on the program and not the other way around. 8/18/25 - Ajit, I read your response. Your answer is false. My wife, my son, and I all attended the meeting with your "counselor." It was you who was missing in that meeting. So don't make up stuff. The fact remains that I have not received my $200 back....

Insight has a lot of experience on this front, and also a lot of "insight" into what colleges look for. In short, Purvi has been able to guide us through the nuances of the application process. Additionally, she gave us some great advice around summer programs - we would have never found the ones that she suggested. We also had a great tutor for ACT from Insight, who was able to give my daughter some great tips. She ultimately got into her top-choice school. We are very happy with Insight, and have recommended them to many friends!

Second, the institution only sent out one email notification and no other forms of communication. As a result, my elementary school-aged child was dropped off by their transportation service and left alone outside the classroom for an hour and a half, as they had forgotten to bring a watch or any other communication device to contact us. I hope that in similar situations, the institution will not only use email but also provide a second notification the day before the cancellation via text, voicemail, or a call. This would prevent similar incidents from happening again.

I registered my both kids to summer camp here. Their friends recommended to do the camp together…read morethough we usually go to other coding school. At first, my kids were really excited and came home talked about what they learned and created. It seemed like they had fun. Then problem started as my child told me that her file was deleted couple times and she couldn't find it. I told her to ask the instructor since they supposedly are good at computer. She told me that she couldn't log on because she forgot her password. Apparently this issue has been going on during the week long summer camp. I was not aware until Thursday evening from my child. Then I asked her what was she doing if she couldn't log on and no one could help her. She said she just sat there and listened. 1) we don't learn by sitting, we learn from doing and following step by step (so she wasted her learning time and my money) 2) no instructor aware that she was sitting there and not doing anything? Didn't raise their attention? 3) she claimed she forgot her password and instructor couldn't help her. Coder instructor should be able to trace back her password or reset password for her, correct??? 4) I emailed my concerns and I got back the response from manager that my child was joking with instructor. Yes, if she wasn't engaged and couldn't log on, I know my child would be bored and fooling around. Any child would. All the kids were laughing and having fun in class. I don't see any problem with my child enjoying the class and laughing. 5) couple kids said they had WiFi issues during class. Why would it be WiFi issues when this is a coding school. 6) when I emailed to the manager, his response was trying to point finger at my child that she was joking with the instructor instead of solving the issue and take responsibility about his instructors in class. No customer service. For sure, I won't recommend anyone to this place. Very disorganized and no customer service.

My children attended a summer camp at the coder school. This what I experienced:…read more Pros: the kids had fun there. When we entered or whenever we picked up or dropped off, you can see that children were having fun. You could see children laughing and smiling. They did complete some coding activities. Cons: 1. Limited staff- No one answered the phone. There was no front help person to answer phones during camp. I was running late, and called the office no one picked up the phone. When I picked up the children, the teacher gave his personal phone number to contact them. He said there is no one to answer phones during camp. Considering the amount of money as parents we pay for this activity and they should have someone in the front office answering the phone or have the teachers in the camp pick up the phone while the camp is in session. I know they are trying to cut cost, but the business phone should work during camp hours. 2. Each child are placed on their individual computers. If they have problems with the computer, instead of putting them on another one, they waited to repair it. So one of my children missed time during the day completing a project until they could the computer to work. We were not told about this until my children told us. We inquired about it and did not get a response why they were not put on another computer or that my child's project would be delayed. 3. Passwords- I have a younger child who forgot her password on the computer. The teacher didn't have the password that day, so she couldn't use the computer to complete her project. The following day, we contacted the manager to find out why the teacher didn't have it so our child could complete her work. The manager gave us the password. Then stated that our children were smiling and laughing in class. Prior to that comment, the teachers were giving my children compliments on how well behaved they were. That's an odd response from the manager-- deflect and blame tactic being used. My wife asked again why and we didn't get a response. We never found out from the manager nor the teacher why they didn't have the password prior day so my child could finish the project. Today, after our complaint, staff did have myu child's password. And again they avoided the question why they didn't have the password the day before. Overall, my children had fun. Other kids had fun. They looked like they learned something. However, the management and teachers could not answer simple questions and for the money we pay, there should not be downtime if computer is down or someone can't remember their password. However management avoided the question and was ready to deflect questions by blaming my children. We've gone to Code Ninja in the past and had a better experience there. They have better communication, kids have fun too, learn, and are more organized. If they have technical difficulties they move the child to another computer.
