My life hit a low, and now in my 40's, I wanted to start over and knock out an obstacle that was in my way of being a better man. I needed hope that I had better days ahead, and decided to go out all alone and take on the champ (being The Cal Bar Exam). I studied harder than ever, but in my heart and mind, even though I wanted to beat The Cal Bar Exam all alone, I knew I needed another set of eyes on my work. I went online and researched all the top names in The Bar Exam Coaching Field. I interviewed all of them, and ultimately went with, "The Strategic Bar Coach, Steve Zikman, Esq." I chose Coach Steve because having competed in sports my whole life I knew what I was looking for from a teacher/coach. Coach Steve, had great follow through and always responded immediately to my questions even before I hired him. Coach Steve, is reasonably priced with packages for all budgets, and knows this business inside and out. He has been doing this for many years and knows exactly what it takes to pass The Cal Bar Exam. Coach Steve can give you the formula, if you are open to listening and being open minded to new ideas and tactics to find success. I passed The Cal Bar Exam on my first shot with Coach Steve in my corner. If I can pass, you can too! If you really want this, Never give up on The Cal Bar Exam, just try to study differently. Thank you, Roger Tanenbaum

After my July results, I knew I needed a different approach for the February exam. From our first…read morecall, I felt confident Steve would get me to the finish line. His program is all about active practice--putting in the reps that this exam demands. Each week, he gave me tailored materials focused on what actually mattered. We'd review essays line by line on the phone, making every word count, and his use of consistent phrases drilled the fundamentals until they became second nature. Steve truly believes in his students and is invested in their success. He even adds motivational quotes to his materials, which helped me keep pushing on tough days. If you commit to his method, you give yourself a real shot at seeing your name on the pass list!

Previous center directors (shout out to Nathan, Andrew, and Robbie) have also been fantastic. We honestly could not have survived Math all of these years if it wasn't for Mathnasium. Everyone there is kind, approachable, and well- qualified. I highly recommend this center. They are outstanding.

We've been with Huntington Education for almost a year now, and I can honestly say the experience…read morehas been incredibly encouraging for our son. Math has always been a sore spot for him--especially with his slower processing speed--but the support, patience, and structure provided by the Huntington team has made a difference in both his skills and, more importantly, his willingness to keep trying. What stands out most is the level of personal investment the instructors make in each student. Mr. Justin, in particular, has gone out of his way to understand how my son learns and where he needs extra reinforcement. It never feels like a one-size-fits-all program; it's truly tailored support that meets him where he's at and helps him move forward at his pace. As a parent, my biggest concern has always been that he not only improves academically, but also feels capable of keeping up with his peers--and Huntington has been key in helping us move toward that goal. I trust their approach, and we're fully committed to continuing with their program. I can't recommend Huntington Education enough. They've been a steady and positive partner for our family.

I am medical professional who is terrible at languages and struggled for years to improve my…read moreSpanish abilities. I came to her 4 years ago with absolutely zero confidence that I would progress in learning this language. Especially after numerous failures (regular classes, apps, etc.) but Flavia has patiently pushed me towards fluency. Fla has a knack for understanding how to best encourage a students individualized learning. Often breaking down complex grammatical concepts into bite-sized pieces that even the most language-challenged individuals (like me) can grasp. Her patience and persistence with me has been unparalleled, and she never has made me feel embarrassed for asking the same question multiple times, in multiple different ways. What I appreciated the most was how she tailors the lessons to my needs and speed, depending on the rate I pick up a particular lesson. As I have progressed, we have shifted towards vocabulary and grammar that is more tailored towards my profession and interests, which has made a huge difference in my ability to communicate. I can't recommend Flavia highly enough. If you want to work towards fluency, at your own pace, or just get more in depth review for school work. I would suggest reaching out to her.

From the owner: I am a Spanish teacher from Argentina…read more My mother tongue is Español and my second language is English. I have spent almost half of my life in Argentina and the other in the United States, where I received my higher education. I have a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Spanish, with an emphasis in Literature and Education, and Theater. Through my studies and personal experiences, I have gained knowledge of cultures across Latin America, the Caribbean and Spain, in addition to stories of Hispanic and Latinx individuals living in the United States. These pieces are quite useful to incorporate when teaching students about the varying accents, dialects, vocabulary, and traditions in these contexts. I have been teaching for over 16 years in both classroom settings as well as one-on-one sessions. My teaching experience ranges from Pre-K to high school, including bilingual and trilingual schools and adults of all age groups. I have also taught English as a Second Language (ESL) and drama. Today, I continue to tutor and give Spanish lessons one-on-one as well as group lessons.
