I cannot say enough wonderful things about Best Learning Center after school learning academy! From the moment I walked in, I knew this was a place that truly prioritizes the growth and academic excellence of each student. The teachers are incredibly attentive, taking the time to understand the unique needs and strengths of every student. Their passion for teaching is so evident, and they go above and beyond to make learning fun, engaging, and meaningful. My 1st grader misses his teacher Ms. Emily when either one of them miss a day. It's clear that the center is dedicated to fostering a deep understanding of the subjects they cover, rather than just rote memorization. My child has not only improved academically but has also developed a deeper love of learning. One of the things that stands out the most is the supportive and focused atmosphere. The other children in attendance are equally driven and committed to their studies, which creates a positive, motivating environment. It's a space where kids feel comfortable asking questions, collaborating with peers, and doing their very best. Best Learning Center has truly made a difference in my child's academic journey, and I couldn't be more grateful! I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing, effective after-school program. Special Notes- 1. They are open on additional non-school days (sometimes). 2. They are open until 6pm which helps with my long commute. 3. They have transportation, but are also very close to Arovista Elementary. 4. They match school hours, even early release Wednesdays. 5. Easy to make payment and communicate with Brandon, the learning center director. read more

They made the whole tutoring process very easy Mr. Kim is very nice and knowledgeable my twins love coming here and excited to learn.

My children (8 and 6) attended BLC for the summer learning program only and even though it is a lot of work, especially compared to public school they kids definitely improve math/ reading comprehension skills above their grade level. It runs from about 9-4 but can drop off a bit early or option to pick up later too. At first, to be honest, the kids complained about the amount of work but by the end of the second week they got use to the schedule and enjoyed going. They do mix some play and fun time after 2pm , the staff do fun activities and some art. They also incentivize doing well and behaving with tickets and candy. I might ding 1/2 a star for too much candy but that's just me! I'm sure the after school program is just as rigorous and helpful but the kid's extracurricular schedule doesn't allow for enough time after school to attend. staff- Mr Kim is responsive and great (owner/manager). My boys really enjoyed class with Ms Cintia and Alyssa. read more

My two children had joined the summer school this year. At first, they didn't want to do this but I made them go. They came home on the first day saying they enjoyed the class. And the second day, they said they loved this school and asked me if they could keep continuing in this school. They created great and safe environment for the kids. And the same time, they provided the strong academic lessons for the kids. Mr.Kim, Mr.Eric and other teachers are awesome! My kids already asked when they are going to be there again. Highly recommended!!!! read more

Best Learning Center provides an environment filled with innovation and academic readiness. Mr. Kim and the entire staff is so dedicated to the students and families who step into the doors of BLC. The summer program is extremely organized and provides an enriching curriculum for students as they face a new grade level in the Fall. Brea is lucky to have BLC in our community. read more

Both my kids attended their Pre-algebra summer program. They learned so much that the following year their Algebra class was a breeze. My daughter normally does not like math but said the class at BLC was fun and easy to understand. I highly highly recommend BLC. The staff is great and their pricing is reasonable. read more

Mr. Matthew is an excellent math tutor! My son was struggling in AP Calculus AB with a C+ in the beginning of the semester and ended with an A- with Mr. Matthew's help. Mr. Brandon the director/owner and Mr. Matthew are very responsive to my phone calls and texts. Within a couple of sessions, my son was scheduling his own tutoring appointments. We will definitely hire Mr. Matthew again for AP Statistics and AP Calculus BC next year! read more

My son and daughter love BLC so much! They have been taking summer school at BLC for 3 years already. My daughter is in 7th grade now, Mr Kim is her favorite Math teacher. She feels that it helps her a lot and makes her more confident in school. My son is 3rd grade, he is ahead of his level just because he took summer school and make easy during regular school year. They also have afterschool programs and tutoring. The staffs are nice and patient. We all love BLC and definitely come back for summer school. read more

BLC is a learning center that cares not only for the academics of the students but also the well being of them. Mr. Kim has created a creative and nurturing environment for the students, so that they will excel greatly. I've worked at BLC for over a year, and I could see the students growing tremendously in their academics and the hard work put in from the staff to maintain that growth. read more

We have been sending our 7 year old to BLC the last couple year including summers. We really love everyone all the teacher and kids. Especially Mr Eric and Mr. Kim who are like family to us now. BLC kids work hard and play hard! My daughter, Sophie would rather go to BLC then stay home. The teachers provide pre work for the upcoming grades so if you want to prep your kids ahead of time, not to worry. During the school days, they can do the homework there with the assistance of teachers. Kids really end up bonding with each other and help each other succeed! Thank you BLC@! read more

BLC is truly the best learning center. From picking up students from school everyday to teaching lessons to the students, the teachers and Mr. Kim are on top of their A game. The teachers are prepared and meet the students at their level with a great teacher to student ratio. I've worked at BLC for about 5 years and every year the teachers and Mr. Kim are always seeking to improve their academic program. Not only is BLC is prepared in academics, they are also caring and attentive to the child as a whole as the child mostly spends the majority of their day at school and afterschool. Your child will be in good hands (if you choose to enroll there). The summer program is awesome as well. There are cool science experiments, fascinating history lessons and healthy competition amongst classmates. My years at BLC have been a blast and will be unforgettable. read more

Best Learning Center - Some 3rd graders posing for a picture on an average Thursday - Test Preparation Near Me - Brea, California

My daughter has been going to BLC's after school program since her 4th grade. She's not entering 8th grade. The staff at BLC have been very helpful to guide my daughter's increasing school work load. read more

I put my rising 3rd grade daughter at BLC for the summer when a previous place I sent her to did not comply with the state COVID safety requirements. BLC is in a different district than us, so it runs with a different schedule. But Mr. Kim still allowed her to be placed with one day's notice and on schedule that works for us. When I was talking to him, he was concerned that my daughter may feel alone because she's new while everyone else goes to the same district and had already spent time together at the center for a few weeks at the center. What tutoring business cares for the kids like that? I really appreciate his thoughtfulness. I highly recommend you consider BLC for your after school needs. Parking - easy Teachers - great Thoroughness - excellent (I got daily reports to sign) read more

BLC has been great for my kids and family. They have a great structure that makes learning interesting and really helps them 1) finish their homework and 2) fill in the gaps that might be lost from learning at school. My three children have gotten very comfortable with their system and are making the best of their after school time by being there. I've checked out other programs and after speaking to Brandon, the owner, felt assured this was the right fit for my family. By the time I pick up my kids, they are all finished with their schoolwork. The staff at BLC is terrific and attentive to the kids school needs. It's been almost one year and this includea their summer program. Five stars *****!! read more

BLC's summer enrichment program prepared my boys well for geometry and Algebra 1. They both received an A+ in their math class even though they attend a very competitive middle school in Walnut School District. My sons were very fortunate to have Mr. Kim as their teacher. He cared that they understood the concept before allowing them to move on. We had many summer programs to select from but I am very glad that we decided to enroll them in BLC. I highly recommend this institution. read more

Best Learning Center is a center where parents' and students' perspectives in education are valued. The center encourages parent and student input and involvement in improving their programs. The center's curriculum is developed to match the wants and needs of its clientele. The afterschool program at the Best Learning Center allows parents to focus at work and at home. The program includes a student pick-up system, the students are picked up from their schools and are chauffeured to the center. The director of the Best Learning Center, Brandon Kim, is very reliable and responsive. He greatly values the safety of his students. Director Kim is very punctual in picking up his students. Parents are welcome to request consultations and assessments for their students with Director. Kim. The summer camp at the Best Learning Center is very accessible and flexible. It is usually held throughout the summer vacation of Brea Unified School District, approximately 10 weeks. There are two different programs; the academic program that is held in the morning, and the extracurricular program that is held in the afternoon. Director Kim has designed the program to be flexible so that families can register with a call away whenever they want to. However, registering a week in advance is highly recommended because there can be waiting lists. The summer curriculum is conducted in chronological order, it is advised to keep the dates closer together for a better learning experience. The Best Learning Center is the place to be if you want to have an imprinting educational experience. Director Brandon Kim and his staff are the keys to your child's learning success! read more

The facility is also extremely clean. Sending my son to the afterschool program during the school year as well. Would definitely recommend BLC. read more

Since moving to Brea I've been researching after-school learning centers in my new area. I've talked to several local parents and was recommended two popular centers. Last summer I got to enroll my daughter in both centers -- BLC for math and the other center for writing. Without question, hands down, BLC ended up being the much better learning school, in my opinion. Mr. Kim, who happens to be the owner and the teacher for algebra, teaches so thoroughly and so patiently. No child (especially a pre-teen) enjoys being forced to take extra classes over the summer, but she actually said Mr. Kim taught math so well and made the sessions enjoyable. She also said he explains in such a manner that makes a difficult subject very understandable. Lastly, I really appreciate that BLC has transitioned to online classes so smoothly during this troubling times of COVID-19. I know public schools are having a hard time getting the kids prepared and learning online and a lot of students are falling through the cracks (academically speaking), so having an extra learning system like BLC has been a real Godsend for my family. I think all kids need this extra push right now while we are navigating distance learning. read more

Best after school in Brea, both my two son love the school !! Teachers are all nice and genuinely care about students and always willing to help. I feel bless to know my kids are in good hand and would strongly recommend to his school read more

My kids loved this place, it is mainly an academic but taught with care. The staff is super nice and the materials they give will help them in their regular school year. We will definitely go back next summer! Highly recommend! read more

I sent my kindergartener to Best Learning Center this summer. All of the teachers are really friendly and attentive. I felt safe sending him there and most importantly he enjoyed going there. I also liked how Mr. Kim will always check the students' temperature daily in the morning and sanitized the kids' hands before leaving the class. Overall I would definitely recommend BLC! read more

I can't say enough about Best learning center in Brea. The teachers are friendly and very patient with the kids. They work on their homework and have fun while doing it. My daughter loved going to BLC, to the point where she's disappointed to see me whenever I arrive to pick her up! Not only do they learn and receive academic help the kids actually have fun and enjoy going. I highly recommend this center. Everyone has been great there. read more

The trustful after school for the Kid with both working parents. I couldn't find better place for my kid during summer vacation. I've been sending my kid to this place for 4 years now. I haven't had a single complaint from my kid and he loves this place. If your kid loves his school, I think that explains everything. Thank you teachers !!!! read more

I started sending my son to this center for about one year now. My son has become very motivated in doing his school work. Also, after school they provide time to have mandatory reading time. This has also help my son to enjoy his reading time and really learn. We are so grateful for the teachers and their structure because it has positively influenced my son's academics. He is doing great in his classroom at school and also exposed to a culture of good study habits. The teachers are very friendly and calm. They are not pushy to the students which is very good for the students to be self motivating. Definitely highly recommended. I decided to register my junior high son here as well. Thank you! read more

I love Best Learning Center!! My kids always attend their summer program to prepare for the new school year! They also help kids prepare for tests! Love this place!!! Highly recommend read more

I've been a teacher for Best Learning Center for 4 years! BLC is surrounded with highly-educated, patient, and loving teachers that enjoy working with students everyday.

Best Learning Center - Test Preparation Near Me - Brea, California

Very helpful for 6th graders who are skipping 7/8th grade math and going into algebra 1. A great way to preview during the summer. Will definitely go again this summer. read more

My son was struggling in an accelerated 4th grade math class in BOUSD so I was looking for either private tutoring or a focused subject program to provide supplementary learning. He had attended another highly rated after school program, but they just offer homework help and essentially babysitting. BLC goes above that by providing the material before they learn them in school, which really helped my son grasp the concepts and reinforce them. Class size is good and students are from all of the Brea schools. Mr. Kim explained the after school program and answered all of my questions. I really liked his teaching philosophy, which seems to bring out the best in the individual student. After my son started BLC, within just two weeks, his teacher commented how he had noticeably improved. Now, after just one semester at BLC, he has achieved straight A's, Principal's honor roll and the growth award in his class. I would highly recommend BLC and can't thank Mr. Kim and Ms. Eunice enough! read more

I cannot say enough about BEST Learning Center and the owner Mr Kim, they are the BEST!! My son is taking Honors Pre Calculus as a sophmore, one of the hardest courses offered in high school. Mid semester he started having trouble understanding the material and his tests grades were dropping. We sent him to BEST Learning Center for the Pre Calc Tutoring class and the results were immediate. In just 1 month of tutoring the next quiz my son took he got a 92% and most recently on the semester final he scored a 97%( my son was so happy and shocked himself) all thanks to Mr Kim!! If your child is struggling or just needs a little extra help, I would highly recommend sending them here. BEST Tutors around! read more

I worked at BLC for a couple of years while living in Orange County and can honestly attest that it is a great place for your child to thrive. During my time there, the friendly and very qualified teachers patiently reviewed homework assignments and prepared students for upcoming learning objectives in subjects such as Math and English. Mr. Kim is so caring and responsive to students' needs. If you are seeking a fun learning environment for your child, I highly recommend Best Learning Center. Johana Morales read more

Best Learning Center is a great place to send your kids to get some extra help in whatever subject they are studying in school. Mr. Kim is very knowledgeable of the schools around him and provides high quality support to kids based on their needs and the school in which they attend. Mr. Kim cares for the students and provides such fun opportunities for them to learn especially during the summer. His staff is well trained and the kids love their their teachers here. I highly recommend anyone BLC for anyone who is considering an afterschool program for their kids. read more

We decided to supplement our kids' learning during the summer of COVID. Since the school year had been cut short I was worried about my kids falling behind. We chose BLC based on word of mouth. Although my kids complained about having to attend, they were kept engaged and I was in communication with the director Mr. Kim. He would call to check in and was very attentive. My kids definitely learned something this summer and we are planning to send them back for the after school program. read more

Best Learning Center is the best! We've been sending our children here for over a year now and we're so fortunate to have them. Before we chose Best Learning Center, we visited at least 3 other locations nearby and actually placed them at another facility for before school and after school care. After we found Best Learning for our after school care, our children were actually able to complete their homework and have questions answered if they had any before we picked them up. Our older child is a GATE student and he feels Best Learning Center helps him tremendously. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a super hardcore after school math prep program, but Mr & Mrs Kim and staff are very professional and compassionate about the children. The staff are super nice and knowledgeable in the subjects they're responsible for. My kids always share how nice their teacher's are. We're very thankful. The culture is very diverse and the kids seem to be a good bunch of kids that enjoy each other's company while finishing their homework, learning new materials in preparation for school before being picked up by their parents. This program fits well for our family and our children really enjoy Best Learning Center. read more

I've been going to BLC in the summers since middle school. I went for math tutoring and then took SAT prep once I reached high school. Not only is Mr. Kim a great teacher, but I've had a great experience with all the staff and teachers here. They all show great patience and dedication to help every student learn the content. Also, they foster a welcoming, interactive environment that encourages collaboration and learning in a safe space. Mr. Kim and BLC have helped me excel in my math classes and helped me score highly on the SAT. You won't regret sending your children to BLC!! read more

I found out about BLC from a friend of mind a few years back and our kids attended summer program as well as after school program. The summer program is an excellent way to prepare for the following school year and the after school program reinforces what they learn in school. The owner, Mr. Kim, has teenagers in high school and understands the rigor of the curriculum at both Brea and Troy high school. It is very easy to communicate with him and he responses quickly to any inquiries. I appreciate his professionalism. All of the tutors are selected by the owner and they are very knowledgeable in the subject they tutor. (If your kid is lucky enough to have Mr. Kim as their teacher, they will love him. He is well liked by students.) read more

My son is in 1st grade and We've had him attend BLC since the summer began after kinder. He loves going here after school and study together with his friends. All of the staffs and teachers are so friendly and attentive. Their programs are well organized and prepared. They also have 2nd language class (korean, mandarin) available once a week. Mr. Kim who is the owner of the BLC, personally pick up kids from school and takes them over safely so we have less to worry about and parents can focus on work. read more

My rising first grader attended BLC this summer session for the the first time. It was a great experience. She absolutely loved attending every day. She was quite upset when she had to miss one day due to an appt. My daughter does not attend school in Brea so BLC is unable to pick her up for their after-school program which really bums me out. I would really LOVE for my daughter to attend BLC all year long. Hopefully I'm able to work something out to make it happen. If not, she'll at least be there every summer. Thanks so much for the wonderful experience, BLC! read more

I have been attending Best Learning Center for about 5 and a half years now and it has always helped me do well in classes that I need help with. There are teachers for many different courses and they are always patient and kind. Taking the tutoring classes helps tremendously. Any time I have encountered a difficult course (Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus) the teachers at BLC helped me to understand the material and do a great job of explaining it to me in simple terms. BLC has never failed to answer any questions of mine or help me receive an a good grade in a class I have trouble with. They offer a type of teaching and guidance that other tutors cannot replicate. It is very easy for students like myself to feel comfortable asking any questions. Overall I had a great experience with Best Learning Center! read more

I've been going to BLC since 6th grade and they have helped me so much in school and over the summers. Mr. Kim and all the other teachers are great at helping students of all ages and puts in the care towards each and every one of us. BLC has classes for nearly all academic levels and overall has a wide variety of classes to offer. Even during the pandemic, they've been extremely flexible and cooperative with the parents and students in order to provide quality education through virtual learning. read more
