The vibe is energetic and positive. My daughter's math has gotten significantly better to the point where her actual math homework for first grade is too easy for her. So it's definitely helping for sure. Separately mathnasium has their own effective currency called "cards" that students earn based on how much math they do and they then use those cards to buy whatever items they want ranging from candy to toys to even big ticket items like ps5 or Nintendo switches. This teaches my daughter to essentially be good with money by learning to save instead of spend which is even more important to me than her being good at math.

From the very first session my daughter (freshman) walked out with a smile from ear to ear. She couldn't wait to come again and she boasted about their free snacks and they were good snacks lol teens right?!?! Everyone is so accommodating and always willing to work with you to find the right tutor to fit the needs of your child. I also like that they are open until 10pm so of you have a child that plays sports or extra curricular activities like I do, having the option to tutor later is a huge plus!! They also have additional locations around the South Bay in Hermosa Beach, Redondo, El Segundo, and Newport Beach.

After starting with a different (and expensive) college counselor located in Santa Monica and SAT…read moretutor (expensive) who both came highly recommended but were essentially completely useless, we received a glowing recommendation for Blue Train and made the switch. Best decision ever. Our two sons used Blue Train for multiple things over their junior and senior years - test assessment/diagnostic, ACT prep and guidance, college list building, guidance re HS classes and even extra curricular advise, as well as navigating the college application process and the all-important essay drafting. Scott and the people at Blue Train put the boys on a very manageable schedule and in fact, both of our sons were totally done with most applications by Thanksgiving. Both boys got into tons of schools, got thrown tons of money, and this entire process was so smooth because of Blue Train's guidance. We event consulted with Scott when deciding which schools to attend. I cannot say enough how effective and impressive Blue Train was. Highly recommend !!!

Their friendly and skilled tutors were able to help me increase my SAT score and earn 5's and 4's on nine AP exams.

The 2-hour tutoring sessions are very intimate, and extremely helpful if you struggle with Physics, Calculus, or Computer Science. Their tutors know everything! If you need a college counselor, C2 has it all. Their college counselors and essay writing tutors were very receptive and accessible throughout my college application process.
