Helping your child through the college process can be one of the most stressful experiences. As a…read moreparent, all we want is the best for our children. I can honesty say, having Pat Moore on your side is the best descision you will EVER make! She makes the whole process actually very enjoyable! i honestly believe with her on our side, my daughter is getting the best guidance and has a "secret weapon" in the college process. She's extremely likable, and what a "firecracker"!!! She has developed a great relationship with my daughter, built her confidence and has my daughter more motivated then ever( her GPA has reflected this) As a parent, if you want to be stress free , provide your child with the best and make the process of college smooth, give Pat a call! Best decision I ever made!

Pat has been there for me throughout my academic and professional career which extends over ten…read moreyears. She has made it her personal mission to see that I obtain my dreams. I am so grateful that her passion and dedication reached me when I was in high school, and that she continues to be present in my life today. I can rely on her to provide guidance and realistic expectations, and she has become a friend in which I can confide in as well, especially when those hard times are ever present.

We would highly recommend Mark to any family who is looking for guidance during this process or to strengthen their child's college application.

Tutoring is not really a super exciting thing to review - that being said, as a parent that's…read moreexperienced good tutoring (ie: Higher Standards) and bad (they shall remain nameless), there's definately a difference. Higher Standards created an environment that allowed my daughter to learn effectively and actually show improvement (sounds like a pretty standard thing - but, there's the "other" place that didn't deliver). Convenience is also a factor they excell in - once, after my daughter left her books after a session, they showed up (after hours) to make sure I could get the books before school the next day. If your kids need tutoring - give them a call!

I went into Higher Standards' SAT course practically kicking and screaming. I wasn't convinced that…read morethey could increase my score enough to be helpful, and I really didn't want to buy into the College Board bureaucracy. However, when I arrived in class, Devon made learning about mundane grammar and mathematics into an entertaining experience through jokes and puns. I ended up enjoying the SAT class and got an almost 300 point increase on my score. This would not have been possible without the help of Devon and everyone else at Higher Standards.

When our country was hit with the pandemic, we worried terribly about our 10-year-old son's…read moreeducation and whether or not he would fall behind. His public school education via zoom wasn't helping much and we've seen how many of his classmates were falling behind. Jenny Robertson, the center owner, has really stepped up during this difficult time and helped our son learn and stay ahead of his peers when it comes to reading and math. I appreciate her effort and her no-nonsense approach to education. She gives our son one-on-one time to help him truly understand his reading and math. We were part of another Kumon center and we thought it was a good one. However, after being with Jenny, our son has improved greatly on his math and reading. We hadn't realized that he wasn't really getting the reading and Jenny has helped him greatly. I'd also like to address those parents that have written damaging reviews to hurt this business. I wish you'd think about this very difficult time during covid for everyone and hope that you'd try to be kinder and not so devious. We need to be more tolerant and kind so that we have a better country and world. God Bless and hope all are safe and healthy.

My son attended this Kumon for a year. Unfortunately, the management changed, and with it came a…read morelack of communication about what my son was working on. First of all, we did not receive an email notifying us of the management change. We were instructed to remain silent while our kids worked. After a week, they began shutting the door, which was fine, but there were times when I wanted to hear what my son was working on. Eventually, I felt unwelcome there. I would walk my son to the door but not go inside. There were times when we would stay for two hours without any notification. My son's homework doubled, and it took him possibly an hour to complete a booklet. I asked his instructor why the homework was so lengthy, and she told me it was okay if he didn't finish and could work on it during class. My son is capable of finishing his homework, but my husband and I were frustrated by how long it took him. I ultimately decided to end our contract and text the manager. All I received in response was "okay" and "done." There were no questions asked or apologies for how their program did not work out for us. It seemed they were just in it for the money and lacked the heart to teach my son and/or the other children. However, I appreciated my son's instructor; she was very kind and patient. I dropped my son off on a Thursday, and when I went to pick him up after class, his instructor informed me that his last day was the previous Tuesday. Again, I was not notified that his last day had already passed. The instructor was kind enough to conduct a lesson with him, but no notice? I give them two stars for their instructor and my son's reading progress. He is now able to write clearly and loves to read. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place to other parents due to their lack of customer service and communication.

If you have a student who learns differently, trust this group to help your student…read more I first found Links Through Learning on the website for Willow Glen Middle School. One of the teachers was suggesting this group to students. At the time I was anxious. My well read son was writing at second grade level and about to move on to middle school for 6th grade. He couldn't write a sentence. He could produce a fragment or a multi-content filled run on. Neither would work in his upcoming grade year. Fortunately we had the Summer, and those months Brea Romero had time. She got to know my son, instantly knew how to work with him. Got him up to speed a few weeks before school was to start again, just meeting once a week. Ah-maze-ing! Now I have his younger brother with high anxiety and dysgraphia. She is slowly getting him to first be comfortable with the "formulating your thoughts" process of writing and easing him into help from technology (Google Chrome, dictation) and hopefully into written work. It is a longer road and he is ending his fourth grade year this year. I have already witnessed rapid progression. We did return for two "brush up" sessions for my older son because his wonderful writing was not responding to the question and his teacher hated to give it a low mark. Totally impressed with what a couple hours could do to get him to see he hadn't answered the question and produce a new draft that made his teacher quite pleased.

After taking an assessment test that was "Mandatory", which he did not really need as I had his Star testing assessments, this was just an added fee, I was told he tested well he just needed to possibly read "faster", as he was a slower reader. Every time I went there she was reading to him and she was writing down his homework? How is this helping my son??? Also, most of her clients were female private school studies who she was helping write their Dissertations for college or whatever they were doing. I don't feel I should have been charged the same amount of $$ for a service where none was provided, for me anyway. Buyer beware!
