StrivePath has been an incredible partner in guiding my daughter through her high school and…read morecollege planning journey. What makes them different is that it's not just about admissions, applications, or checking boxes. They took the time to truly understand her as a whole person, her strengths, her values, her motivations, and what genuinely lights her up. Instead of pushing her toward a particular school or path, they helped her explore her "why" and make decisions that align with who she is becoming as a young adult. That kind of guidance is rare. The team at StrivePath created an environment where she felt heard, supported, and empowered, not pressured. The confidence and clarity she has now is something every parent hopes for their child during such a big phase of life. I cannot recommend StrivePath enough for any family navigating high school or college decisions. They go far beyond academics; they help your child understand themselves. And that is the greatest gift.

Very happy with Strivepath…read more We previously had a mediocre experience with a different group we stopped using halfway through....entry level staff person was our main POC....offered very little direction and the communication was not clear. I wanted precise communication, a well thought out plan. There is so much grey area and uncertainty as you go through this process. Stridepath really helped explain how we could put our best foot forward. They have a very thorough and thoughtful process and were actively engaged with a student. Their team is professional and experienced.... No rookies. Sana, our lead, has a great deal of experience with the college admission process which helped give us clarity on what we needed to do and what schools to go after. Sana and my son did all the work. Us parents came in at a few junctures but for the most part, we were not involved. At the end we reviewed the essays and helped our son hit send. Most of our applications are submitted and fingers are crossed. Even though the outcome is uncertain, I feel like Strivepath gave us our best chance to achieve our future college students goals.

Completely a great experience, and Leena really knocked herself out to help my reluctant math…read morestudent. My son is very bright but is nowhere near having issues with excessive ambition. I worked hard with him prior to 5th grade to get him competent in solving simple expressions with fractions. By the time school started, all this learning had somehow leaked out of his sneakers and disappeared, to my distress as well as his teacher's. Because of his math reluctance and poor retention, my son would have been starting 6th grade with a significant disadvantage. His mother and I wanted to help him catch up using a teaching service. We researched Kumon and found that, although cheaper, the focus is on all subjects and not exclusively math, and that the procedure is to have pupils do huge stacks of worksheets with relatively little teacher supervision. This would not have been a good match for my son. Leena's Mathnasium is exactly not like Kumon in that the student-teach ratio is about 1 to 1. She begins with a thorough evaluation of the student's existing math capability, she customizes a training plan for the student, and she executes the plan. At the end of the program there is a no-charge second evaluation, and what do you know? My son's math skills had significantly improved. Lastly, Leena did a pile of extra work researching math topics taught in my son's new school district, and tried hard to motivate him and prepare him for his new school Excellent work, Leena. I would recommend your service to a friend without hesitation.

There are not enough words to express our appreciation for Ilumin Education and the work that Kyra…read moredid with our two sons during their college application process- it was definitely one of the best decisions we made for them. From the very beginning, we appreciated how accommodating Anthony was given our limited time and how forthcoming he was with the information we needed to make our decision. Kyra was phenomenal! Although our kids were among many of her students, Kyra was so attentive and committed to their experience, helping clarify their interests in majors and helping them give voice to essays that were authentic to who they are- this was definitely not a cookie cutter experience! She was always supportive and well organized so our kids never felt overwhelmed or pressed for time. When we expressed concerns about the pathways for a particular major, Kyra put together an impressive presentation on the various options convincing us this pathway is fitting for our son. Kyra kept us in constant communication so we didn't need to worry about any hiccups or missed deadlines. We are so lucky to have found Ilumin Education to work with; they made the college application process seamless and actually enjoyable! We know that their involvement was key to our children being accepted to their "reach" schools! Thank you, Kyra, Anthony, and the entire team at Ilumin Education!

As we expected, AOPS was more advanced, and the math director recommended us 3 options to catch up before middle school started. One of the options was to enroll our daughter at their summer camp where she could be evaluated by their teacher to get an accurate assessment. So we enrolled our daughter for the summer camp for which we were told was the best option. I emailed the director to confirm our plan and enrollment for the camp. We finished the camp; I even talked to the summer camp teacher about the assessment and asked her about our daughter's progress. Things seem ok . After the camp was completed, I reached out to the math director right away about the summer camp assessment. He then told me that the school had changed policy and summer camp could no longer be served as an assessment. This change happened in less than 4 weeks from the time the director and I had email communications and discussions over the phone. We were told to schedule for another assessment. Our daughter didn't like AOPS so much that we decided not to proceed. End of story .

I thank the entire team at the Tutoring Center for building up her self-esteem! The work they do is so much more than just teach the subject area.

We've been enrolled for over one year, come religiously twice a week, and my kids still love coming here. The staff knows how to motivate kids and keep learning fun. When kids feel happy, passionate and energized about learning, it makes a big difference and Kobad and his team of talented tutors have cracked the code in doing this. I have 2 different types of learners, and Mathnasium knows how to cater to each child's individualized needs. I have one child who has always been super strong at math, understands concepts quickly and retains information well. Through the efforts of Mathnasium as well as our own support at home, this student is now in the accelerated math program at school. My other student is a little less diligent, often makes careless errors and is more of an average math student. However, he is now in the top math group too for his grade. Kids may do their math homework here and the tutors will help them, but I don't usually have my kids do this unless they are feeling overwhelmed with the amount of schoolwork they have that day. Usually, I want to spend our time there learning Mathnasium's curriculum to make sure kids are getting incremental learning opportunities in addition to their school's content. While my kids go to an excellent school, I feel math in CA feels a little behind compared to other states (esp east coast states) and certainly behind that of many other countries. Mathnasium gives me peace of mind that my kids are being appropriately challenged. My parent philosophy on Math is that just like anything else, the more practice and exposure you have, the better you become. Overall, I am very happy esp because the kids never complain and are very happy to go twice a week. They have made friendships with the tutors and speak about their Mathnasium "friends" often at home. We highly recommend this center.

My son was struggling with his school work in 8th grade: he was disorganized and confused, and had such a backload of assignments he didn't know where (or how) to start. I tried for months to get him on track myself, helping him with his homework, preparing for quizzes and tests. Nothing seemed to work. In a moment of desperation I asked around for recommendations and a number of neighbors suggested Lumen Learning Center. I talked to Louise and she put my mind at ease. She worked with both my son and his school, and came up with a plan of action. With infinite patience she (and Melissa and Gabe) guided and taught him, and slowly things began to turn around. After months of hard work my son finally graduated from Middle School, thanks to Lumen Learning Center. Louise took a boy who was unmotivated and full of self-doubt, and prepared him for academic life in High School. I cannot recommend their services enough.

She always puts in extra time for us and is extremely flexible with scheduling. In all, I am so glad I found this place. All of the tutors are friendly and they treat you like family! We tried a couple of other places before coming here and each one felt like a business. This place feels like home! They have good Wi-Fi via Xfinity and I can get work done while I wait. I highly recommend Lumen for their expertise and care.
