This Kumon is corporate owned and is the most organized, nicest, and greatest one. The staff is…read moregreat and everyone is very friendly. They really care about your child(ren)! I've noticed that some parents complain about how ineffective Kumon is with it's repetition of problems, but honestly the child only benefits as much as he/she puts in. I know that it can get boring starting from the bottom or a few grades behind, but in order to master more difficult concepts, you must have a great foundation and I feel like Kumon really builds a great support system for you.

Also, Ty enjoyed working with Alicia for English 3. The tuition is higher than some. Also, I leaned that they do not qualify for 1098T filing. So, you can not use a 529 Plan to pay for tuition. We're hoping to continue to complete high school core requirements for graduation. COVID took a lot out of our kids. Grateful for this option that has helped restore some of my son's confidence in school.

The 1:1 model is great if the student and teacher dynamic is a good fit. The school has a wide…read morerange of classes to offer, however, not all of the classes are available at each campus so a student may need to take online classes. Very expensive tuition and there is no financial aid available. Be careful of additional costs if your student is unable to complete the class during the regular number of sessions allotted and mastery sessions are required. I worked at both the San Mateo & Palo Alto campuses. The organization places a lot of pressure on the staff and there has been a lot of turnover at both sites.

Great programs in music, art, technology & science. This school is located on the corner of very busy Middlefield & Embarcadero streets. Its nice that there is always a crossing guard during peak school times when children are going to and from school in the mornings & afternoons.

We've had an amazing experience with Mathnasium over the past 5 months…read more Our daughter used to struggle with math and had very little confidence--she would often say she was "bad at math." After her teacher suggested extra support, we explored a few options and immediately felt that Mathnasium was the best fit. Brenda and Elyse created such a warm, welcoming environment from day one. The change has been incredible. Now our daughter asks for harder problems and even begs for more time at the center--something we never expected! The instructors are friendly and consistent, and she's built great relationships with her favorite teachers, which makes her excited to keep going. We also love that they make learning fun with activities like Pi Day and even introduce real-life concepts like financial literacy. Seeing her apply math in practical ways has been eye-opening. Highly recommend Mathnasium Foster City--this place truly builds both skills and confidence!

I cannot say enough good words to Mathnasium. My daughter has been with Mathnasium for only a…read morecouple of months and has made fabulous progress. Most importantly, she becomes more confident not only with math but everything in her life! We are so lucky to find Mathnasium for my daughter and Brenda is definitely the key to make all of these possible!

This was such a smooth way to get my CPR/AED/ First Aid certification. I am a fitness instructor on…read morethe side and have a main job in tech and also am a full time mom - so time is a scarce commodity in my life right now. When my certification expired STS was such an obvious choice. I completed the online course in less than 2.5 hours and attended the skills section in person. John was an amazing instructor and made the process efficient, effective and fun for his participants. I leave confident that I can take care of emergencies ( god forbid they arise!) if any. If you need a new certification or a recertification make sure this is a place you check out first - you can thank me later!

I had an amazing experience with both Fusion Academy in San Mateo and Fusion Academy in Palo Alto, and I absolutely loved the cafe at Fusion Academy San Mateo with all the flowers and plants as well as the awesome teachers and Cassandra and Caroline who were two of the staff members! I would say my experience at San Mateo was better regarding the staff because the staff members at Fusion Academy Palo Alto would complain about me and wrote emails home about me being "creepy" to my parents just for avoiding other students, not even taking my autism level 1 and my mental illnesses into account as well as make a fuss about anything and everything I did as well as do nothing about one of the mean girls at Palo Alto. Fusion San Mateo didn't do any of that and I'm glad they didn't! I am giving them five stars for how awesome and amazing they are. Fusion Academy Palo Alto got four stars.
