Parents, think twice before sending your child here! C2 Education is a for-profit business that…read moreprioritizes sales over students and rakes in millions of dollars each year. The center director is purely money-minded and is only concerned about meeting her sales targets for the month. She was very pushy in getting my husband to sign our daughter up. Before one could begin tutoring lessons, C2 forces you to sign a lengthy contract. We, like many others, were told tutoring hours never expire--a BIG FAT LIE! Buried in the fine print was an expiration date. C2 will say anything to get you to sign your child up. I've heard from a former center director at a different C2 location that tutoring hours were once honored indefinitely despite what the contract actually said, until one day C2's corporate office sent out an email saying an expiration on tutoring hours must be enforced. Completely unethical way of doing business. As for tutoring--it SUCKS! Some tutors are great, but others are god awful. Sessions last 2 hours with 3 students per tutor, leaving my daughter stuck doing bookwork with minimal interaction. She hated it and got nothing out of it. C2 is among the most expensive tutoring options, with some families spending upwards of $20K. For that price, you'd be better off hiring a private tutor for actual one-on-one attention. Don't like C2 and want a refund? Good luck! C2 will ignore calls and emails, drag its feet, and, if you're lucky, refund only a tiny fraction of what you paid. Lastly, beware of fake 5-star reviews on Google. Don't be fooled. After every negative review, there's a sudden burst of suspiciously similar positive ones, often from accounts with just one review. Case in point--after a previous negative review, a wave of glowing reviews suddenly praised "Rob's essay writing." For the real truth about C2, check reviews on Trustpilot (3-star average) and the Better Business Bureau (F rating, unaccredited). Attached are screenshots of a C2 center director job description emphasizing sales over education and Glassdoor/Indeed reviews exposing the reality from employees themselves. A former C2 center director even admitted on Indeed they were 'trained to fool the customer to buy more hours.'

Can only speak to two tutors many years ago. They were spectacular and worth every $$$$. Our teen…read morerightly argued that his Advantage tutoring put others unable to afford it at a disadvantage. I could not disagree and suggested he use his advantage to get the best education possible and work to narrow the gap. As a civil rights attorney he's working on it.

I've been fortunate enough to prep with Advantage Testing tutors for the SAT I, SAT II, and the…read moreLSAT. They had a reputation for being the best of the best, and they delivered. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Going back to high school, I had a terrific experience working with Advantage on my college entrance exams. Even though I hated studying in school, I genuinely enjoyed working with AT's teachers. Aside from being gifted instructors, they are some of the friendliest people you'll meet, and they seem to genuinely care about their students. I remember they customized a study plan for me, focusing on the areas of the test that I needed to improve the most. Following their plan, and using the strategies I learned in class, I earned a 760 Verbal, 750 Math I, 790 Writing, and an 800 Math II, all a significant boost above my diagnostic scores (which I recall being in the low ~600 range). Years later, when I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer, and began looking for the right LSAT test prep service, turning to Advantage was a no-brainer. On my first LSAT practice test, I received a diagnostic evaluation in the 55th percentile. I knew that I would need a significant (aka Elle Woods-level) jump in my LSAT score to have a decent shot at the top schools. That's when Advantage came in. Studying with Advantage tutors, you learn to break down each section of the test into a set of consistent techniques, which you hone and solidify over repeated practice tests. After months of test prep, I took the LSAT and scored a 99th percentile on the official exam. Equipped with a great LSAT score, I was admitted to my top choice for law school, a feat that had seemed impossible only a few months prior. Now, as a practicing attorney looking back on it, I am certain I would not have been nearly as well prepared with any other test prep service. In sum, I don't think there is anyone as professional or effective as Advantage when it comes to the hard work of preparing for high-stakes entrance exams. I recommend them without hesitation.

Ridwana is extremely professional and attentive. She was able to coordinator on-call services for…read moremy son when he had to miss school. Our caregiver Damia was absolutely the best and gave me piece of mind that my son was safe and happy when I had to be at my busy job where I am a manager. Damia not only text me updates and pictures, let me talk to my son, but she went above and beyond the job. She did my laundry and folded it. She swept my house, hand washed my dishes, and even made my bed when I didn't have time to make it this morning. On-Call Concierge service has top nanny's and caregivers. I highly recommend them. Unlike many other services I looked into On-Call Concierge also didn't charge me a finders fee, but instead a flat rate membership fee that included a guarantee of my scheduled caregivers. The caregivers are interviewed twice by Ridwana, go through an extensive interview process, and a thorough background check. After being on Care.com for months and not being able to find a quality person I could trust with my son I finally feel good about leaving my son at home when I need to. :) Thank you Damia and Ridwana for being so awesome! I look forward to working with other caregivers too (Since I am using their services mostly on-call I get a pool of 3-4 nanny's that will rotate).

I was always sent professional, enthusiastic and punctual subs whenever I was in a staffing jam at…read moremy preschool/play center. Awesome concept and awesome team!

I've been going to middlesex for a while now and in my time there I've only had two professors that…read moreI actually liked because they treated their students with respect. Now there is a teacher who is just rude, and manipulative. She accused me of plagiarism because I took one key point from another students post and forgot to cite. Then I know someone else taking the class currently and they got accused of plagiarism as well because their paper was written basically identical to mine, but mind you that individual wrote his whole paper himself with no knowledge on the paper I wrote for this class two semesters ago. It's disgusting how they feel the right to accuse you of something that can get you kicked out of the school. It is disgusting how administration lets this happen, when I was accused of plagiarism I was so mad, but in the end I ended up rewriting my post anyway so that I wouldn't get kicked out of the school I've spent thousands on. But for this professor to be doing the same thing she did to me go other students it's an absolute disgrace and shouldn't be allowed. Especially knowing how big of a deal plagiarism is. I would think twice before enrolling there again for another degree program.

Unnecessarily difficult to get assistance from anyone at MC. NJ has a program called ReUp of…read moresomething like that designed to convince people to get continue their education. So after being emailed off/on about returning to MC, I decide to go for it only to learn my account has been deactivated. How hard can it be to reach the administrator as directed? Responder Dick tells me that I need to be an active student in order to reapply to be a student. So when I clarified that I'm not looking to access the student portal, I'm looking to apply, Responder Dick "reiterates" that he can't advise me of my student status. I know my status. So it went from you can't access the MC portal without being a student, which makes sense if I was trying to access the student portal (but I'm not), to I can't help you login anyway, the admissions dept has to do it. I didn't reach out to Responder Dick, he answered a ticket from an email I sent from the Contact Us page. Wouldn't it make sense to reassign the ticket. I bet you Responder Dick has *his* degree. May as well slide me in there if all we have to do is self assign ourselves help desk tickets and advise we can't help. Awesome job.
