C2 encourages students to do better and the teachers there genuinely care about their student's performance. As a parent, I thought that C2 really helped with my child's overall performance scores. From a student perspective, however, make sure that you are on top of deciding your scheduled class times because these things can frequently become confused especially when a student engages in multiple school related activities.

They are super nice, and fabulous to work with! My son is Kevin, who has been very happy here. So am I. Enjoy it a lot! Even though I want to post multiple reviews about the different experience of my son here, Yelp only allow one review per customer per business, and the new one will replace the old one. Sorry for the long review.

My daughter has attended Mathnasium of Columbia on Centre Park Drive since October of 2020. We…read moredecided to homeschool this year since virtual was not working for us and I needed the additional in person support to assist her with math. It was a hard decision to send her anywhere in person during this time but I decided to take the leap. The past week my daughter mentioned to me on two different days that she doesn't feel comfortable being there because the owners/teachers didn't wear a mask. I was completely shocked so I decided over the next few days to walk her in and out and see for myself. The first day I walked in right when the facility opened and noticed the owner at the front reception/office desk without a mask but when I walked back out about a minute later he had it on. The second day I walked in I didn't see them at the front, so I parked my car where I could see right into the facility. Sure enough, I seen the young lady sitting at the front without a mask and the owner Ed standing behind her without a mask, then Ed walks over to the student area without a mask on. I immediately walk in and confront them both, and asked if there was a reason on why they didn't have masks on the entire time the facility was open with students in there. They came up with every reason, "it's hard to wear it", "it's hard to talk on the phone" "we keep our 6ft", "I don't think it's mandated". I was completely appalled! They never apologized but just defended their reasons on why they didn't feel they needed to wear it. I immediately told them to unenroll my child. I have contacted the franchise's corporate office and local health authorities. I want to share my experience with as many parents as possible, because right now we are all doing our best to give our children the best education and when we pay money and bring our kids to an environment where we are told certain safety measures are put in place, we expect them to be upheld, especially wearing a mask and we certainly don't expect the fact of wearing one to be argued about. I know many parents use this facility so please share this experience with everyone you know as most parents drop their children off and don't enter so they may be completely unaware of what these owners are even doing.

My son attended this center last year for over a year. Before enrolling here, his SAT score on…read morefirst attempt was 1280. Our goal was to improve it to over 1500. Well, after paying approx. $4500.00 his score went even further down. To our utter surprise, he cony improved to a 1350 !!! It is Horrible Horrible Place, just like Sylvan Center (have had experience with that too and thought this may be a better center). The teachers are young college students and they even discourage students on many levels. They will just give students a few questions as home work and that was it. Towards the end of your sessions, they start pressurizing you to buy more sessions and spend several thousands more! My son was extremely heartbroken! Please don't let them steal your hard earned money by blackmailing you. Thinking of filing a lawsuit against them soon! Please contact me if any one of you also have had felt the same.Thanks
