Everyday, both kids would come home talking about all the cool things they did and learned (or ate :) ), and showing off their various worksheets. The teachers are passionate about what they do. They are nice but yet strict about good behavior and using the Chinese language during Chinese classes. Ms Tong was wonderful to kids and work closely with parents to understand the kids' need and progress. I can't say enough good things about this school and its teachers.

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!

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.
