I am completely shocked and disappointed that such a large university would run their financial aid…read moreoffice so poorly. I am a parent who contacted the financial aid office with a question on 2/9/2024. The student who I was unfortunate enough to talk to, Claudia had no idea how to answer my question. Instead of just telling me she did not know, she kept repeating herself with the same useless information that had nothing to do with my question. When I asked if I could speak with someone else who may be able to answer my question she became extremely rude. She refused to let me talk to anyone else and told me she was the only one who could help me and no one else worked in the office except supervisors who were busy and could not speak with me. I asked if I could make a future appt to speak with someone and she said "no". How could a university a large as UC Davis have a financial aid office run by such a rude and uninformed student. This student should not be working with the public or parents or be representing the University in any way. So disappointing, especially for an office as important as financial aid at such a large university.

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have had Paul as a tutor. Not only did I start…read moreunderstanding the material I was learning in school and getting better grades, but he helped change the way I saw myself in terms of academic confidence. Paul knows how to explain things to you based on the way he's observed you to learn best. My ACT score went up 4 points after working with him! I highly recommend this service, especially if you've been struggling in school and are frustrated. I know I used to get really worked about about grades and assignments, but Paul helped me relax, get organized, and be productive. He also changed my mentality from learning for the grade to learning for the sake of learning. That in and of itself moved mountains for me. All in all, it's worth the investment. He can help with pretty much all subjects too, which is great!

My daughter, who has been coming to Mathnasium for over a year now, is absolutely thriving! She is…read morean advanced student who is now more than year ahead of her peers. I appreciate that the Mathnasium approach allows each child to progress at their own pace, independent of any cohort. I am so thankful that it allows my child to fulfill her full math potential. When a new student arrives at the Mathnasium, the director will have them take an assessment. Based on that assessment, the student is given an individual program tailored to their needs. The center allows students to have their tutoring sessions at the center, at home through a video call combined with a special software, or both. I found that the tutors are attentive, knowledgeable, and available when students need assistance or need to have their answers checked. I find the math program itself superior to anything I experienced in school and other materials that I have seen. It teaches for understanding instead of memorization, so children can figure out solutions without necessarily being given a way to solve a problem. The materials show the same kind of a problem from different angles, so children learn to recognize the best approach to tackle it. Another strength of the Mathnasium is the ability to customize student's materials. Each set of problems on a particular subject is a in separate packet and depending on different factors those packets can be shuffled to achieve a certain goal. For example, the director looks to make sure that students don't have dense problems on one page after another. She dilutes some of the harder topics with lighter materials from the student's plan. If staff see that a student is stuck, there is always flexibility to make changes. Conversely, if it is clear that a student mastered a subject before completing the entire packet on that subject, staff allows the student to skip pages. The new owner, Shamiran, who took over the center in June of 2024 made numerous improvements that made our experience at the Mathnasium so much better. She ensures that children are progressing and are given extra individual attention where needed. She also keeps kids excited about completing their work through a great selection of prices in the prize cabinet. To end my review I will share this exchange with my daughter: Mom: Why do you like going to Mathnesium so much? Daughter: Pokemon Cards. (one of the available prizes) Mom: No, but why do you like spending time there? Daughter: Hard math.

The curriculum seems ok, but the most annoying thing is the constant business hours changing…read morewithout prior notice besides posting a flyer on their front door. When you close on random holidays, such as Mother's Day, please announce it earlier! I doubt we get our money's worth on an hourly/monthly basis because there are just days they are closed when our student can make it. And yet they won' let students stay past an hour or sometimes even 30 minutes, despite the limited hours they are actually open. Recently, I dropped my student off at 310 and the staff signed her in at "300." They then told her time was up at 30 mins was up at 330. WTF?

Everyone here is incredibly welcoming and encouraging! You will encounter skilled speakers, and speakers who are just starting their Toastmasters journey. You can learn from the great while feeling comfortable with your own progress. Being a part of this club, and especially being a club officer, also looks great on a resume. I have to give some credit to Toastmasters for my career success and my success in interviews. Everyone I mention Toastmasters to is credibly impressed by what the organization aims to accomplish. I have since relocated to the Sacramento area and am unable to attend meetings, otherwise I would be there in a heartbeat! I'm planning on joining the club at my work soon. I thank Toastmasters for giving me my start, and I recommend that you find yours there, too.
