Due to differences from their previous school in both teaching style and curriculum, both children needed additional support in mathematics. We have had such an excellent experience with Tutoring in Fairfax we have continued sessions throughout the summer and now into this next academic year- both students are excelling in their math classes and exhibiting confidence in their skills. For anyone seeking tutoring I would highly recommend Tutoring in Fairfax- the team that runs this organization has been highly responsive and efficient and the girls think the world of their tutor Marvin. The cost of quality tutoring in NoVA is significant but, in this case, I would say you absolutely receive what is promised. They offer both group and individual tutoring and they are truly invested in your satisfaction and in your student's experience.

They were able to hone his strengths and focus on areas needing improvement. They make learning fun and instill discipline at the same time. I've looked at other tutoring places but we chose TIF because aside from the amazing staff, principles, and depth of learning, the place is very conducive for individualized and focused learning --- they have separate rooms to help the students get 100% of attention. Laleh also makes time for parent interaction; you don't feel rushed when talking with her and she's a good listener and will work with the parents. It helps a lot that Zach, who manages the front office is always on top of things (scheduling changes, etc.). Plus, they offer a lot of flexibility in cancelling lessons ahead of time for any reason and will not charge you (unlike in others where you are locked in). If you are looking for quality for your kiddos, this is definitely the place to go.

I took the 8-week summer SAT prep course with Jen, and with her help, I got a score of 1550 on the…read moreDigital SAT (DSAT) on my first attempt! This score was a massive 300-point improvement from my PSAT that I took the year before. Initially, Jen's class helped me to familiarize myself and solve the different types of reading, grammar, and math questions, giving me the initial bump to the 1450 range on a practice test. Then, she taught me to be more vigilant regarding the more deceptive questions, ultimately allowing me to get consistent scores in the mid to high 1500s on the College Board practice SATs. Throughout the process, Jen was very accommodating and answered all of my and my parent's questions about the DSAT. I highly recommend this class to students at all levels looking to improve their scores and can't thank Jen enough for my improvement.

My learning-to-be-responsible daughter, has signed up and missed like 4 classes and each time Rachel has called or texted me a friendly reminder that she didn't log in (they're doing virtual tutoring for now)-NOT something she needs to do for sure. (You pay a tuition, not per class, so she loses nothing if your child doesn't log on/attend). Please consider them for your child's math - both of my kids has benefited from learning here- catch up and to maintain- they really are great to work with! They also have a trial period, and will tell you if the child will not do well with their style of teaching... she isn't just out for the bucks! #WeloveMathnasiumBurke!

First of all, I admire C2 schedule flexibility. My youngest sister has a very complicated schedule because she swims for 2 swim teams and has to practice everyday in different times.

Within not too long time, my youngest sister improved 400 points on her overall SAT score. I really appreciate C2 and their staff s help.

Then they created a curriculum for him. He is slightly above his grade level in math. They took what he was already good at, but slow at. Explained that a student can get bored with it even if they are good at it, when they are slow. Asked if it was ok if they taught him faster ways to arrive at the correct answers. (He was getting correct answers but using slower methods.) He is thriving in math! He enjoyed it in public school a few years ago. Had a bad run with teachers who didn't keep it fun anymore. And now, with Mathnasium, he finds it fun again!! He has only been coming here a few very short months, and is about to finish up grade level math, and start the next grade level of math before this year's schooling is up. He even compliments them sometimes to me. He told me yesterday , "I used to forget things I learned in math at school a week after they taught me. But I know it perfectly now." Big compliments from my son who doesn't compliment any old thing.

We have used this service for the last two and half years and cannot tell you how much we have benefited from the support of the coaches that have worked with our son. His confidence has improved with his writing, learning how to organize his thoughts better when tackling history and English Language Arts assignments. He's doing more than just the bare minimum, including more descriptive language and details. He's proactively creating outlines while reading to set himself up for success when trying to remember details later for questions or discussions. He's gotten better at self-advocacy, reaching out to teachers via email, when he's unsure of how to tackle an assignment or something isn't working correctly vs. just ignoring the issue. All things he wouldn't dream of doing on his own two years ago. Added bonus is that it has taken some of the pressure off of us, his parents, and the stress it was causing us when "nagging" him about his homework and missing assignments. Just wish we would have started sooner!!

Iv went to SEM and studied under Selina for about 3 years. I first started at the end of my sophomore year in high school studying for the SAT. At first, I wasn't able to even complete the first few questions in a practice test and after learning and studying was able to complete the entire test and do well on it. This is not just the sit down and stare at practice tests all day tutoring spot. They teach why the answer is the answer and why other answers are not the correct one. They really do help the ins and outs of the test, showing you SAT tricks and tips as well. The people there motivate you to work harder and do your best. I never liked studying as a kid and to be honest, who does as a kid, but going to tutor was a fun time. There is laughter and fun there, but don't get me wrong, studies do come first. It is not a place I would dread to go to. Its a place where I met new people that I now consider family. She also helped me in my normal high school classes, where I struggled in some math and science. Shes a huge help and got me through some tough times. I am now a college junior pursuing a bachelors degree in Information Technology and planning on getting a masters degree in Computer Forensics. If I didn't have Selina as my tutor for school and SAT, to be honest, I don't know where I would be or what I'd be doing. She changed my life, and no amount of saying thank you or gift showering could ever express the love, gratefulness, and respect I have for her. Thank you again...

My student has always been doing well at school but when he started 10th grade, he felt challenged by in Honors Precalculus/Chemistry and AP World History classes. I didn't even know what to do as he was always very independent with his studies. We reached out to SEM Education and Selina quickly planned tutoring schedule for us. She, the owner, teaches High school Math and Science subjects!!! and she matched us with a History tutor. My student is an athlete with ever changing schedule due to practice and competition. Selina is always prompt and accommodating to help us with frequent schedule changes. And when we tried to address my student's changing/different needs, Selina quickly facilitated with finding a tutor without hassle. With Covid, the teaching platform is online which works quite well. In fact it has added the flexibility for us to make rush requests. With SEM Education, I feel confident that my student is well supported, whether it is for regularly schedule lessons or an urgent rush project. Rather than pulling my hair and feeling frustrated about my inability to help my student, I have Selina and her team of great tutors behind us whenever my student has the need. I know Selina will quickly respond to any request I have and timely find us the help we need.

I love how welcoming the center director, Gary, and the education coordinator, Isabelle, are to questions and concerns. Whenever I need to change my schedule or talk about any problems I have with my classes, Gary and Isabelle are always open to helping me to the best of their abilities. Furthermore, the tutors at C2 are amazing! Dr. Alan, for example, got me through freshman year conceptual physics and taught me different strategies for solving problems as my math courses in school became more complex. Sean and Kate have taught me to improve my writing style and utilization of rhetorical strategies as well. The fact that they, along with other tutors offer workshops in study skills definitely helped me understand how to work smarter and more efficiently. Overall, my experience at C2 has allowed for me to thrive and excel in school. I've found myself being more confident in class during discussion and using strategies that I've learned from tutors on tests and various evaluations. C2 definitely gives you the assistance and practice you need for school, college, and real-life applications.
