    I've known BALA for many years and they've never failed to educate my kids! Highly recommend this place - great Mandarin instruction.

    BALA is an excellent after school program that helps both of my children with homework and also provides academic enrichment classes for few years now.

    Someone in another review put it well "this is not an honest business". I wish I had seen that…read moreburied review before I chose this program. It was based at a local middle school, so I figured it was legit. My daughter was enrolled for 3 days before we pulled her out of the program. On the surface, when we arrived, the program seemed lackluster - I wasn't provided the basic orientation information before our first day of camp, it wasn't clear what my kid would be doing or any of the basics of what to bring or expect. I'm used to peppy camp counselors with name tags and clipboards, helping to shepherd kids where they need to go, and helping the littles feel comfortable. There was none of this. It was held in the library of a middle school (I hope they went outside, but I'm not really sure), and seemed disorganized. But I figured that at worst, it would be a boring but benign 2 weeks of summer. My kid is pretty outgoing, so I figured, what's the worst that happens - it's located at public middle school, it's got to be legit, maybe just underfunded. At least they have field trips?... But then my daughter fell and hit her head and gashed her eye, and the staff did not call me. I didn't find out until pickup, and when I arrived, they told me that it was because they were not given the emergency numbers from the central office, and they were not able to reach the central office. I have worked with children in many places across my career - I have been a camp counselor, and this seemed absolutely implausibly unsafe. I immediately withdrew my kid from the program - called and left a voicemail that I was filing a complaint and initiated a refund through ActivityHero. But that's when the fun began. I didn't hear from anyone until the next morning/afternoon, and really not until I called back saying I was going to file a complaint with the City of Millbrae. But getting in touch with CAM EDU was surprisingly difficult. Firstly, there is no number for parents to reach staff at the summer camp where the kids are. I was only able to reach the phone number of a central hotline, which was rarely answered by a human--I got more response from chat bots/emails. Then, I realized that there are no academic staff listed on their website - the faces I recognized from the summer camp had titles like "Website developer", which made me pretty nervous - who is taking care of my child? The person who was alleged "camp director" isn't listed as staff on the website. And all staff on the website are listed without a last name, so there's no way to actually confirm their identity or role with the company. When I heard back from CAM EDU, I was put in touch with their General Manager/HR person, who is based abroad and has never seen their facility herself. However, she was very understanding, and provided an immediate full refund. But this still doesn't excuse an academic site where the administrators are not involved in the day-to-day programs. The entire company appears to be run through Google Voice phone numbers, and it gave the impression that there is in-fact no central office (the business address routes to a work/live loft in Millbrae), and does not follow basic safety protocol. There was no way I was going to let my kid go on a field trip with them. I now have more questions around the validity of the business, who the owners are, and who were the adults present. I strongly encourage other parents to do their own due diligence before sending their children to this camp.

    This is the best place for kid, my are very exciting to go to after school every single day. They…read moretell me the teacher really nice, they do fun activities every single day. Also they help them with the homework. It is improve my kid grades.

    Updated review for the third time - I know that there are parents out there that are as concerned…read morefor their children's education as I was. I was so concerned I pulled them out to homeschool them and I'm sure many parents today also want to give the best opportunities for their kids to learn and master academic subjects. The last time I wrote, it was two years ago and I'm happy to report that both my kids continue to do well. My son finished his sophomore year with a 4.7 GPA, and starts honors trig next year. Because he does athletics in the WCAL, he has had interest from the Ivy League schools including Yale and Cornell, and most recently some interest from Stanford. He currently has four college offers - obviously for athletics, but without a strong GPA and honors classes, the Ivies and schools like Stanford will not look twice. My daughter also has maintained her 4.0 as she's still in middle school and balances that with her athletics. I can't say that SAM math is responsible for all of it, but they did play a pivotal role in the early years of my kids, and in giving them the confidence they needed to understand fundamentals of math. You cannot go wrong with the way Singapore math is taught. Do your research! Rather than having math be a stumbling block for my kids, it was interesting and fun. And when something is fun, kids don't mind doing it. Part of that fun is that they would have a lot of time to questions and the program was tailored to their development. When I asked my kids if they remember their SAM math days, of course, they remembered all the folks instrumental in making it fun for them. The first name they mentioned was Toro who was their last instructor, and they recalled his name the minute I mentioned SAM math. And this was years ago now. As a homeschooler, my children never did homework above and beyond what their school time was. This permitted us to have time with our family that was uninterrupted and unburdened by additional homework. Conversely, if my kids had a field trip during the day or if they had Other opportunities or events their schooling could wait until the evening, and it wasn't stressful and overwhelming. When my son was in kindergarten, it would be so hard to get him to do his homework because he was absolutely mentally done by 3pm. So with the Singapore math in their early years, followed by Beast Academy from the Art of problem solving, it was definitely enough to prepare them for algebra one in eighth grade. Once again, best wishes to all you parents on this journey to educate your kids. I wish you the same peace of mind and empowerment on your journey to create some mathematical animals!

It was my words against their words without a written contract. The regional director told me as "doing me a favor to be down at the office to meet with me". This was a very arrogant statement. As you can imagine, after they take your money, all courtesy is out the window. My suggestion is to go somewhere else where you can don't have to buy the package in advance. This way it can ensure the quality of services that your kid receives.

All of a sudden, before the school starts, the receptionist told me that my kids can't continue the Tuesday session with Philip anymore because I didn't respond to the email they sent to me. The Tuesday spots my kids have are given to other students. However, there is nothing stated in the email that we as the parents are required to respond to the email if we want to keep the same schedule, or if we didn't respond to the email, our regular session will be given to other students. No one at the center has ever asked my kids if they want to keep the same Tuesday session or switch to a different schedule before or after their tutoring session on Tuesdays. I talked to the center director Norman wang right away, he was very angry and raised up his voice to tell me that your kids have been with Philip for 2 years on Tuesday doesn't mean that they can be with Philip on the same schedule for as long as you want?!! My kids tried to talk to the front desk this evening as well, the front desk person at c2 just told my kids that since your mom didn't respond to the email, we can do whatever we want. I have included the email they sent to me. This is really unfair. I think they treated us this way is because we purchase a big package($16k)from c2 about 2 years ago. Just be very careful parents, if you want to buy tutoring package from c2, pay attention to the hours they subtract as well. A few parents have warned me about this. I will try to talk to the district manager to resolve this issue. Will keep you guys updated as soon as I hear more from the upper management.
