This place is fantastic! We've used OnTrack for both of our daughters, even though they attended…read moredifferent high schools, and each of them came away more confident than before. Most recently, our younger daughter was initially reluctant to try tutoring. However, after receiving a disappointing grade on an Algebra II test, she decided it was time to get some extra help. She worked incredibly hard and earned a hard-fought C in the first semester. By the end of the second semester, she had achieved an A on her final exam and finished the class with an A overall! The experience has been excellent beyond the academics as well. Scheduling appointments and making changes is simple and hassle-free. Their communication is outstanding--professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Most importantly, the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend!

Tutor/student desks are very crowded, requiring tutor and student to sit side by side with…read moreshoulders practically touching. I had explicitly asked that the tutor help my high schooler with study skills that would help her with all classes, biology in particular. During the first session the tutor just asked my daughter what she wanted to work on. Not having worked with a tutor, she wasn't sure what to ask for, especially as it was the beginning of the semester so she had no homework for biology. They chatted for about 20 minutes, but not about study skills. Then the session was ended early since my daughter didn't have anything else to ask for, even though I had been required to pay for a full session beforehand. Study skills were never discussed. Also the tutor told my daughter that she (the tutor) didn't have much background in biology and was more of a physics tutor. All around disappointing. The owner did follow up with me directly after I complained and asked for a refund. He listened patiently, acknowledged that the requested focus on study skills had been a miss and apologized for the poor experience. His handling of the situation is why I gave a 2 star instead of 1 star.

So my son fell behind and ended up with a C on his math test. I found Mr. Michael Rosenthal and as my son describes it, "the C was the best thing that happened to him, otherwise we wouldn't have found Micheal". Not only he's amazing at what he does, he connects well with kids, he truly cares about their well being also. Words can't express how happy we are to have found Michael. My son has consistently been getting A+ on his tests and finals without putting much effort. He actually understands math now vs. when they didn't have a teacher he got lost. I HIGHLY recommend Michael to anyone who's looking to significantly improve their kids math skills.

I was introduced to Brightfox by a friend a few months ago, and we have been very happy with our…read moreexperience. One of the things I like most is the flexible class system. Many tutoring centers require you to buy a package of classes before you can start, but BrightFox lets you begin with just one class. That gave us a chance to see if it was a good fit for our child without feeling pressured. It also gave me the impression that they are confident in the quality of their program. Even though the classes are 2:1, my child still receives plenty of individual attention. It really feels like one-on-one learning. One of my children had never attended a tutoring center before high school because he preferred studying on his own. At BrightFox, the teachers always welcome questions and explain concepts step by step in a way that matches each student's level. This has helped my child become much more confident in learning. What impressed me the most is that the teachers don't just give the answers. They make sure students understand why the answer is correct and continue explaining until they know the student truly understands. You can tell they genuinely care about each student's learning. After every class, we receive detailed feedback about what was covered, how our child did, and what to work on next. As a parent, I really appreciate being able to stay involved in my child's learning. Before we enrolled, Mr. Alex took the time to understand our child's learning goals and helped us choose the best path. Ms. Heather has also been wonderful. She carefully follows our child's progress and provides support and guidance whenever it is needed. Her communication and care have given us a great deal of confidence. Our family is very happy that we chose Brightfox.

We had a deeply disappointing experience with this daycare. Our family recently moved from Fremont…read moreto San Ramon, and we enrolled our two sons, ages 5 and 8, in the summer program before the school year began. Our 8-year-old was experiencing adjustment difficulties following the move and had some incidents involving aggression. After only two weeks, Susan and Art told us that our 5-year-old was "great," but referred to him as "the other one" while saying that our 8-year-old did not belong there. We found this comparison and the way the situation was communicated to be insensitive and unprofessional. We were also told that they were not equipped to support children who act out or do not fit their daycare's approach. Susan stated that they had not experienced this type of behavior from another child in 10 years. Rather than working with us on a transition plan or discussing possible supports, they made it clear that our son could not remain in the program. Our son had been academically successful in Fremont Unified, but he was struggling emotionally with a major move and needed patience, structure, and constructive communication. We understand that every program has limits regarding the behaviors it can safely manage. However, we were very disappointed by the dismissive way our child and family were treated and by the lack of compassion shown during a difficult transition. After only two weeks of enrollment, we now have to find new childcare for both children. Based on our experience, I would urge parents--especially those whose children may need additional behavioral or emotional support--to ask detailed questions about the program's capabilities and approach before enrolling. They conveyed to us that they had limited training, resources, and ability to support children who need additional help, and that their program is better suited only to children who fit within their narrow approach to childcare.

I searched for a program that would focus on my son's weaker areas and not waste time on the stronger sections. I was turned off by other programs I looked into that tried to sell us their "package deal". Natalie Dean, the Huntington Center Director, was receptive to our concerns and helped tailor the perfect fit for our academic needs and time frame leading up to the official exam. My son met with 3 different tutors over an 8 week period. Daniel was a really good fit for my son and Natalie made effort to schedule him with us whenever possible. Although the center's policy limits direct communication with the tutor, Natalie was a wonderful liaison who always kept me updated on goals for each session and my son's progress. In the end, my son scored a 32 on his ACT! I really believe Huntington was instrumental in providing test taking tips, guidance and the tools to give my son the best chance at success. I appreciate Natalie's openness to our concerns and help to make sure her staff provided exactly what was needed.

My son feels supported, encouraged, and confident, which has made a huge difference in his learning. The staff is attentive, organized, and clearly invested in each student's success. I am very grateful for the progress my son has made and highly recommend Huntington Learning to any parent looking for thoughtful, individualized academic support.
