Fantastic results!…read more My daughter ("M") loved the math tutor she had from 8th through 11th grade, but, come 12th grade, M decided to take "Honors Physics with Calculus" and "Honors Statistics" at the same time. She also wanted to bring up her math SAT score. Concerned that keeping up with M's classes would require too much work, her tutor recommended she switch to FusionMath (based here in Seattle). If you visit their website, you will see bios of all their current tutors. However, when I emailed the company to explain the situation, I said it would be great to get some recommendations from within the list. Mark Batho, the owner, emailed me back within 24 hours introducing himself and inviting me to speak on the phone, which we did shortly thereafter. He started out as a tutor himself, and it was clear from the start he was a very smart man and a highly committed educator. Although he said he had multiple tutors that could handle the job, he did recommend two, both of which were PhD candidates at UW in physics. M started with one shortly thereafter. They hit it off fabulously and M got A's in both of her honors math classes. Moreover, she raised her Math SAT score from 670 up to 730. M's tutor was personable, highly capable, and able to schedule evening and weekend hours, so M could do theatre in the afternoon after school. The owner, Mark Batho, is a delightful man and really seemed to care about how well M did. In total, I very strongly recommend FusionMath. (Fwiw, Mr. Batho also owns Uplift Writing - a writing tutoring company!)

The Tutoring center were very good about providing a clear plan and structure for her to follow and helped develop her foundation skills and then got her up to speed on the lessons.

The kids who were the tutors were goofing around instead of helping her. It's great that they are trying to teach the teens responsibility by having them tutor, but they need supervision. We talked to them several times about this and each time they promised to fix it, with no improvement. In short the tutors are just high schoolers, and without supervision they are just babysitters. My daughter was so excited to get her grades up, and was crushed that they let her down.

My kids specifically asked to keep being enrolled here because they enjoy mastering so many math concepts and being confident at school. My eldest used to struggle with math but she's now ahead of her grade level. My middle kid has more affinity for math and she's now learning 6th grade math at the age of 8 years old. Whether your kid is advanced in math or behind or anywhere in between, there really is tremendous value in having them attend Mathnasium. Big plus about the Snoqualmie center is that they usually have only 2 students per instructor, and the max is 3. Other centers cap it at 4 students which makes it much harder for your child to get enough learning done. Also, Mathnasium does not assign homework which my kids (and I) absolutely love. Good job Michelle for providing this valuable service to the community.

Terrible experience and my daughter still has trauma. The 'bilingual' environment really just meant…read morethat many of the staff doesn't speak English, which makes it hard to communicate basic info about my child's day. There was also constantly different teachers at drop off/pickup. After a month of trying to make it work, it was clear my daughter was struggling badly. She cried so hard that she actually vomited twice, and I only found out because I noticed she was wearing her backup clothes--no one even bothered to tell me!!! (It's not typical for her to cry that bad) I was horrified that a daycare could fail so miserably at providing even the most basic level of care and comfort. The final straw was when we arrived one day to pick her up and found her crying alone on one side of the room while the teacher was busy wiping down tables on the other side, ignoring her entirely. We stayed to comfort her, waiting for any acknowledgment from the teacher, but she continued cleaning as though we weren't even there. After that day we withdrew our daughter and Carla Cabiya Ruiz still had the nerve to charge us for another month AND keep our deposit. While I understand 2 week periods are standard, a reputable daycare should show flexibility when it's obvious a child is suffering in their care. It was clear to us that they care more about squeezing every last dollar out of parents than about the well-being of children. If you value your child's happiness and safety, look elsewhere.

The best part about this school is THE PEOPLE and LEARNING SPANISH. All the teachers are super warm…read moreand caring. I loved hearing all the Spanish my son brought home with him, he still counts in Spanish for fun and says "no me gusta" when I tickle him. However, we took my son out of this school because we felt like there wasn't enough vigilance and coaching in regards to hitting. My son began to get upset when it was time to go to school in the morning, and to tell people about a boy at school that would hit him. Twice when I went to pick him up I had an incident report I had to sign about my son being hurt at school, and more than twice, while I was at the school, I saw this boy hit my son and other kids. He was not separated from the other children and continued to walk around and hit multiple students. I can't tell if the teachers are hesitant to discipline the boy because they don't want any liability if the parents become upset at their discipline, or if it is a cultural difference, as I have noticed some Latino cultures give more freedom to boys. What I can say is that my son was so scared to be left alone with this boy at school that he would cry desperately any time he knew he were headed to school. When I saw the boy hit my son right in front of me while I was there, I knew that this was not a safe place for my child and the teachers were not looking out for my son's welfare up to my standards. When I told the school owner that my son was very upset when I tried to leave him at school and it was taking me 15-20 minutes to be able to leave in the mornings, she said that they could try different techniques to help me leave, but I don't think she ever talked formally to the teachers to address the issue or help with the transition because nothing changed and no one came to help us. When I told her that I planned to remove my son from the school because he was too upset to return, she said fine and never asked me why or if she could do anything to help. I asked her for the $400 deposit we left when we registered and she said that was non-refundable. This doesn't make sense to me since we paid for all of our time at the school, the two weeks would have been extra time my son did not attend, but she would not budge on refunding our $400. I think this is very poor business and poor customer service. It seemed, at the time, that she did not care that my son was upset, that we had to transition schools, or that she was keeping my $400 against my will. It was not the way I would have liked to leave that school, but we cleared out his locker because I didn't want him to have to go there ever again.
