We cannot recommend Jenna highly enough. My husband has been working with her to prepare for a math…read moreexam required for a pipefitters union job, and the progress he's made has been incredible. Math has always been a real struggle for him even when I tried to help, it just never seemed to click but Jenna has completely changed that. She has a way of breaking things down so they actually make sense, without ever making him feel overwhelmed or discouraged. The worksheets she provides are thoughtful and really reinforce what she teaches, and you can genuinely tell she cares about her clients and wants them to succeed. What stands out most is how much more confident my husband feels now. He's not just memorizing steps he's actually understanding the material, and it's made such a difference. We are beyond grateful for Jenna's patience, dedication, and ability to teach in a way that truly works. She's made something that once felt impossible feel achievable.

I would caution students against using Intellect Connect Tutoring. When working with Dom (the…read moreowner), his comments led me to believe that I needed him in order to succeed. He told me that I was naive, and that I "didn't know anything about anything when I first met him." He also called my professor dumb. When I said that I didn't think my professor was dumb, he insisted that he was. He also asked if my family was crazy, told me that I wasn't going to make it through chemistry if I didn't remember what he told me, said that the best that he could see me getting in chemistry was a D, told me that I could say goodbye to medical school if I failed chemistry, told me that I could become white washed if I didn't remember my culture, said that his students made "stupid mistakes on tests," and told me that my family member said I would be dumb if I didn't follow his advice. (Even though that didn't sound like something that my family member would say, and she later confirmed that it wasn't). He was also charging me $300/week, which seems like too much to me. I have since learned that I did not need him to succeed, and neither do you. I was able to pass the rest of my general chemistry courses and continue preparing for my medical school application while receiving kind and ethical approaches from the free tutoring services at my college. Even now, I don't remember everything that Dom told me about chemistry, and I am still just as capable as I was then. Students deserve to be treated with respect and encouragement. Due to the reports of others and myself, Dom is no longer able to have tutoring services at my university, and I feel that is for the emotional, academic, and financial safety of students. Additionally, my former organic chemistry professor informed my class to report messages from him if sent out to EWU students again. Now, the best that I feel I can do is warn others because I am genuinely concerned for students.

This is a review of an actual experience at Montessori Central as a parent whose children attended…read morethe school over the course of four years. Montessori Central is a welcoming, nurturing place for all children. Young children learn about the world through hands-on, stimulating, colorful lessons they choose for themselves. I was repeatedly amazed at the things my children learned at such a tender age. One night before bed, when my oldest was four, I said, "I love you to the moon." My child, in a squeaky, little voice, replied, "I love you to the Democratic Republic of The Congo. That's very far!" Then she told me she loved me to the Crab Nebula. :) To this day, that's what we tell each other at bedtime, and she's 17. In terms of the love the owner has for children, I never saw anything to suggest that she or the other staff would single kids out based on ethnicity or nationality. The school does not "use" minority or immigrant children to teach American-born white kids about their culture. These kids are ages three to six. They are just learning to use the potty and eat lunch together. One of my daughters had a first best buddy who spoke no English when she started at Montessori Central. They played together and communicated through that play and through their laughter. Her mom and I became friendly and visited each other's homes while the girls played. We recently ran into that girl at a high school chess tournament; it was so sweet to see how both girls have grown. I will always be glad my kids attended Montessori Central. It is a fine place to give children a rich, warm, welcoming first experience at school. I would hope most people would take a one-star review based on quick judgement with a grain of salt. It was disheartening to stumble upon today while searching for something on Yelp, so I wanted to balance it with input from someone who actually experienced the school for more than 30 minutes.

This review is for a preschool interview process. We didn't end up choosing this place for our…read morechild, but we did a tour, etc. so I thought I'd review that process and get the info about the school more easily accessible. Also, I wanted to make it public that the person we interviewed with implied that she was happy to be serving more wealthy, white children, instead of the poor, brown children which she used to work with in her past. That was a major turn-off in our book. Granted this preschool is located in a more wealthy area of Spokane, and maybe she was trying to sell us on that, like "Oh, hey, it is fancy here" but it was just really off-putting. But, I hesitated to put it in the review, because maybe it was just an offhand misunderstood comment. I think we all say things sometimes that are misunderstood, but then I checked out their website.... and they have this nonsense... "We like to have children of minority races enrolled so that the children can learn about all people and how to exist together happily." So that, to me, was implying that "the children" are white kids, and it is just SO condescending. And that also implies that the "minority race" kids will be singled out to be teaching the other kids about their race. Just kind of weird to me. Anyways, save your time parents, and if you care about enrolling in a truly inclusive preschool I think not. Also this place was majorly expensive! Sept-June half day program was $4200, all day program $7600.
