I'm fully confident that he is very knowledgeable on his area of math. I would definitely recommend Teacher Buzz if you are looking for a math tutor who goes above and beyond!

This school is not good for the wellbeing of your child. Firstly, the lunchtime is 25 minutes…read more They only are able to go outside twice a week, for 25 minutes each day. My child's classmate reported a peer being punched in the face and the teachers doing nothing about it. The curriculum is very rigorous, which is great, however, 1 unit in almost every class usually lasts around 3-4 days: they cover too much in such a short period of time to try to cram everything in, and make the students learn the material through constant assessments. This is fine as they get a wide berth of knowledge, but don't learn the "in-depth" material and reasons behind the concepts unless they stay for another few years (this is because of their "spiraling" curriculum where they revisit concepts to add more depth). Every week, they have at least 1 quiz/test, (because of their math studies), but most weeks, it's 2 or 3. In addition to this, if your child stops for 30 seconds to tie their shoe 2 minutes after dismissal times due to a bathroom stop, they will immediately be asked to attend "Late Bird" for ~$45 because they are "delaying". There is no PE for middle/high school unless you take it as an elective. Lastly, the culture there is very toxic. There is hardly any sense of community as everyone is competing with each other and children often learn, from their peers, to believe that receiving a 99% on their test is "poor performance". The teachers do little to combat this, and this is the same attitude they have towards kids calling out derogatory comments in the midst of lessons.

Have experienced this 4 times in just a handful of years. Leadership turnover is also near constant. COVID response has been insufficient with a refusal to innovate, use outdoor spaces, invest in classroom cameras or communicate an objective decision matrix for return to class. Plus unqualified tuition increases occur every year. Curriculum remains excellent. Teachers are wonderful too.

After using another company for my pre-licensing courses which had multiple 3-hour sessions, I was skeptical with this being only one, 3.5 hour class. Well, turns out I had nothing to worry about.

My son has been going to this school for almost two years and has been flourishing in this environment, thanks to the dedication and patience with which the teachers have treated him. The school director, Ms. Rama, is very knowledgeable, hard working, and always available to answer our questions in a timely manner. What I appreciate the most is the flexibility offered in order to meet every child's needs, and the kindness with which my son is being treated here. He loves going to school here and hugs the teacher when he sees her. Also, MCC has great classes all year round. We love the summer program!

As a transplant to the area without a traditional family "village" nearby, FBCC CDC has truly…read morebecome part of our village. I can say with complete confidence that the children are deeply loved, well cared for, and genuinely nurtured here. FBCC CDC is a true family environment in every sense of the word. I am constantly (and happily) surprised by how much the kids are learning at such a young age -- from critical developmental skills to social and emotional growth. I especially appreciate the emphasis on outdoor time and nature, the strong focus on community, and the incredible support they provide to us as parents. We are in daily, open communication with both the teachers and administrators. They always have a pulse on exactly what's going on with the kids, and I've personally learned so much from them along the way. The level of care, attention, and partnership with parents is exceptional. I also love that while First Baptist may be in the name, this is a truly inclusive, heart-centered program. The school thoughtfully celebrates many different religious holidays and cultures, creating a warm and welcoming environment for all families. After attending other daycare centers and doing extensive research on childcare costs in the area, I find FBCC CDC's pricing to be very fair -- especially given the quality of care. I also deeply appreciate that this is not a large corporate or private-equity-owned center, but a place genuinely dedicated to serving, loving, and helping children grow until they move on to their next adventure. We feel incredibly grateful to be part of the FBCC CDC family. I highly recommend coming to do a tour and seeing if it's the right place for your family!

Kumon is more traditional based on repetition and independent pacing. RSM based on challenging problem sets requiring creativity in addition to logic to master deep concepts. If your child needs an extra boost in math or reading, Kumon can be tailored to your needs. If you want to foster critical thinking for problem solving and build a deep foundation for mathematics specifically, go for RSM.

They even invite parents to give presentations on their families' cultural heritage, latin or not. The staff really do a fantastic job in handling all types of kids. I can't say enough about how good an experience this has been for our kids. There is a strong emphasis on the arts as well as the language. Programs are adapted to handle your needs. Some kids come once a week while others come daily. When you pick up the kids after class, you need to knock on the door and they'll let you in. The center is on Gallows Road just South of Tysons. Traffic on Gallows is hectic but I've always been able to get in and out easily. We'll keep coming back as long as we're living here.
