Finally, I contacted Mr.A and got him assessed. He was in desperate need to help improve and bring up his grades because he was very behind with his grade level.

They take the time to invest resources into the original methods of paper and pencil, show your work, math. I appreciate this traditional method. In a time where things are unorthodox, math should be something that doesn't change.

My child started Attend Kumon when he turned 2 year old. My child was a honor student from…read moreelementary school, Junior high and high school. My child had never missed a word in all of the spelling tests from K - 8th grade. My child graduated in valedictorian in Junior high. In high school, he had AP Calculus, AP History, AP Physics, and Honor English. He graduated in E.E. Master of Science in Magna Cum Laude. My child has continuing his education in PHD right after his MS degree. As a veteran Kumon parent, I give all these Honors/ Credits to Sunset Kumon. I know with growing up in Kumon, my child wont be the same child I have today. My Son had great learning period in Kumon. Director Joseph and staff of Sunset Kumon know my child's learning level in both English and Math. The smiles and encouraging words from Joseph and Staffs are surely heart warming when my son attended Kumon. Kumon also taught my child how to be a responsible child/ student; how to prepare himself to be ready to intergrade himself toward educational, sports and musical instrument of more. All take times to practice. Kumon gives my child confidence and comfortable zone in learning and on going in the additional acknowledgment in Education. I am highly recommend Kumon to others. Which is what I have done and will on going to do,

Starting young made it feel natural, and the program gave them a strong foundation in learning.

I'm proud to say they both finished the English/reading program early and on their way to finish Math.

I looked around and found that PEL in San Francisco has a great program for him because they have a curriculum designed for kindergarteners which focuses on phonograms by the Spalding Method. Since he enrolled at the Junior PEL English Language Arts program, he started to pronounce words more accurately. His vocabulary and dictation have also expanded and he is very confident now with using new words. The unique method and individualized lesson plan at PEL work very well for him. I'm happy that he has displayed so much improvement in just 3 months. Nowadays, he is motivated to learn everyday and likes to say "I love the PEL program!". Enrolling my son in the PEL ELA program is one of the best decisions that I have made for his growth.

Kids are under so much pressure these days compared to when I was in school. Granted that was a…read morelong time ago but it is true. My daughter is in the sixth grade and pretty much a straight A student, except for math. She began slipping behind this past semester and was getting a C in math. This stressed her out far more than me however I convinced her and myself that we could tackle this together. That was until I learned the hard way that this common core BS it literally the most confusing math I have ever encountered. We gave it a week of me trying to teach myself and then her. And then another week of me getting absolutely frustrated. And then by the end of the second week I threw in the towel and started searching for tutors. Initially I was set on getting her a private tutor like I had done for my son 8 years prior. To my surprise and horror? Private tutors were running upward of $140 for an hour of in home tutoring. Ok. They make more than I do. I then decided that was insane and I switched gears settling on Sylvan at West Portal. The start up was pain free, she had her assessment and then headed full steam ahead with the small group math tutoring 2 days per week. There was only 2 months of school left, she had a C- in math going into it and finished the semester with a solid B. The best part of all was the confidence boost she got along with that B. The staff at Sylvan were friendly, easy to communicate with and never tried to push packages on us that we didn't need. Her assessment was so helpful in that it picked up area's where she needed help that she didn't know she even needed help in. The prices were very competitive and although I was hoping to get her the 1:1 tutoring I was limited by the cost and reassured that she would likely do just as well with the small groups. They were correct. There was not a single tutor that Lily did not click with. They were all patient and kind providing updates along the way with her progress. It was all around a great experience and she will definitely return for the math homework group in the Fall. I would recommend Sylvan to anyone who's child is falling behind in a subject and needs a boost. The money spent was well worth it and my girl went into the summer feeling great about herself and her grades.

My boyfriend's daughter attended FSK, I know many of the teachers there, and I have observed in…read moreclassrooms there. I also have known the assistant principal for years and used to work with her. I would send my child there in a heartbeat. The assistant principal is upfront, honest and student centered. People were in tears when she left my school to go to FSK. Today, she stopped in to visit, and my room filled with the sounds of cheering students from the yard outside. They rushed over like she was a rock star! I don't think I've ever seen them that excited, and these were 4th and 5th graders! FSK has a long history of incusivity. I believe it was one of the first schools to really start seriously including kids from the special day classes in the general education classes. Last year, when the current assistant principal was at my school, she made changes to the busing so that the students in the special day classes would be able to attend the morning assemblies with the rest of the school. She is dearly missed, and I am sure she has brought this spirit of inclusivity to FSK. I would highly recommend that you visit the school and meet the administrators. They are both wonderful people.

It's not dirty or grimey like the ones at places with a sandbox. I really don't like those because I get sand in my shoes.. then I have to empty out my shoes..then theres always those few pieces of sand that don't leave and I take them home with me and when I'm walking around barefoot, I get pieces of sand stuck on my feet. THIS PLACE HAS NO SAND. YAY! :)

Ricky did an initial assessment to see where she was in her reading. Their program is all done through workbooks.
