They pay attention to details and work 1:1 if your kid has issues with specific concepts or subjects. If you have reached this page, you are curious about Best Brains and checking Google for any information available. My 6 years old has been going to Best Brains since July 2016 and so far I am satisfied with results. They offer English, Math, Abacus and other classes at few days a week. The owner(Sylvia) is a friendly lady always willing to offer answers. I have seen the same teachers with my kid for a while, meaning he doesn't have to adjust based on new teachers. Fees is reasonable based on other places I have seen in Bay Area. Its very closed to India Bazaar, you can do grocery shopping while you kid is gaining skills. Parking can be challenging sometimes but its available most of the times. I have seen improvement in my kid in last 4 months and I hope he will continue improving at same or greater pace. Good luck with your decision. Message me if you have any additional questions. Disclaimer: I am not paid or compensated in any way for writing this tutoring center. These are my views based on personal experience.

I want to give this place a fair review and just share my experience…read more Pros: I think this place has a lot of potential. Multiple subjects, small tutoring size and good price, and seemingly good curriculum. The location is convenient. It's clean inside and many students. Cons: here is my experience: I brought my daughter in for the assessment. The owner was coldly polite. Did not introduce herself, say hello or anything but merely directed my daughter to take an assessment test. I felt a little put off by just the lack of warmth but I wanted to give the place a benefit of the doubt. When she is done and the owner asks my daughter her name. My daughter has a soft voice and the owner said "say it! You need to talk louder". She had just met my daughter and already is reprimanding her? ...bad taste in my mouth but again, benefit of the doubt. I decide against my gut to sign up (never again will I not trust my instincts). After we leave, my daughter pleads with me "please do not send me here. Please!" She was in tears. We had a long talk, I was shocked and conflicted bc she LOVES school, has been to many tutoring programs and camps over the years and has always loved them. She is 9. Feel free to PM me if you want to know details. My daughter's experience is only part of the reason for the bad review--most of it is the owner's response and my own feeling about the place. Anyway, after much deliberation, and consultation with my husband I decided I would try to see if we could get our deposit back or, I could voice my concerns with the owner and see if there could be some kind of reassurance or solution. Two days later I go back to the center and ask politely can we please cancel, it was two days ago, she has not started yet. Owner says no, they already "bought the materials." Really? Ok so plan B, let's see if we can make this work. I shared with her my daughter's experience and she became very defensive. I told her it may be the center's focus on education (vs development of the child's love for learning) and not a good fit. She said I cannot say her "center is bad," shoved me the money and non-verbally said "get out." I walked out and realized she gave me more than what I had paid. It was a measly $30 more and no way I was walking back in there after she treated me that way. Plus it was her mistake. I drive 5 minutes and she has the audacity to call me! "You owe me $30!" At this point I am laughing in disbelief. I kind of felt anger mixed with pity for how crazy she was acting. I wanted to be the bigger person and not stoop to her level so I drove back to give the dumb $30 back. I calmed down and went back and tried to reason with her. I told her she is obviously doing something right bc there are lots of kids here but she needs to listen and be able to receive feedback. She just got more and more defensive saying my daughter hadn't even tried it, how can she listen to me? I said if you are not listening now, what makes me so sure you're going to listen once we try? She was not hearing me and just being defensive. I tried. I'm sure this place is working for a lot of families but I just want to warn those who are looking for a higher level of customer service to beware. My take home: trust my instincts!

Aahh.. memories…read more. My old stomping ground. I was a student here from grade K-5th! Had a play date and decided to take the kids here because originally the plan was for them to play basketball; since the courts are suitable for their height (obviously much shorter than the actual courts), I figured this place is the perfect place to introduce my Daughter to the sport. I was in track, orchestra, played basketball, soccer, tetherball, dodgeball, kickball, and football throughout my wonderful 6 years here. My Daughter hasn't really shown much interests in sports but I do hope she gets into one of the above mentioned activities. What I love about this school is the spacious play area.. the playground is of course new and way better than what it used to be a million years ago. The green board for 7-Up (the throwing the blue rubber ball or tennis ball at your ass) is still standing talk and well maintained (clean).. the field is well kept and I love the track for field day. I was always 1st place and the anchor for relay races.. nostalgic memory orgasm!!! There is enough sitting space, shade, and play area to satisfy the kids and ME while I witness them run back and forth, clearly enjoying the weather, the pleasant atmosphere, the cleanliness of the school overall, and the best years of my life all flashing back to me. I love this school.. go Leopards!!!!

Being a PTA Member and a School Site Council member it's only fitting I drop a review. Laneview hasn't changed much from the way you look at it but it has changed over the last 10 years. The school rating score has changed to an 8 from a 6 as it was in the past. This means the school is in an upper class for testing scores and education learning. These tests are done across the district and state. What drove this change was time with new leadership during that time. The school is in a 2nd year leader with a proven principal who is very compassion to students, staff and their learning. Pros: * Staff: They're great and i'm not being bias. When I tell others about the stuff they do I hear "I wish my school did that".. From the front office to teachers and others they're very caring * Scores: As mentioned above the school is an 8 for testing scores which is upper reserved compared to most others in Berryessa and/or San Jose. *Parents: Many volunteer daily, weekly and monthly. From the adult staff out in the walkways to ensure safety, to those helping out after school, PTA Functions/Meetings and School Site Council meetings. The Parents really make it up for a budget shortfall to help fund supplies for teachers/class, field trips, assemblies and others. With only 400/430 kids you'd think they're would be some 100+ Parents, nope. Core group of 20 in total who volunteer and attending meetings to help. THEY NEED MORE! Monthly PTA meetings are 2nd Wednesday of each month at 7-8pm on campus. Please come and attend. School Site council meetings are the hour before which is 6-7pm which is a listen in session with the principal to know more on the budget, lesson plans, etc. You can look up the PTA information from their facebook page "laneview pta" * Playground: The school got a facelift in the playground area with all new gear 2 years ago. The grounds are large for play area with plenty of field area. Off school hours they hose soccer games and others. Cons: * Funding: They don't get much. If it wasn't for being a Title 1 School they'd further behind. A Local measure a few years ago is helping out the the school is set for a mild remodel in classroom later next summer (2017). Solar panels just added. * Facility: Many of the rooms are needing some updates and scheduled to get later in 2017 summer.

Spangler was also the person who helped bring modern sewers and clean water to Milpitas in the 1940s. Serving mainly the children in Starlite Manor and Milpitas Manor developments, it sits on a ten acre site near Starlite Park, the first neighborhood park in Milpitas. It is a K-6 school. All the kids in our family went here. Recently a lot has changed here with photo-voltaic panels over the parking area and lunch area. More portable classrooms are on the campus to house the over 600 students. The academic program is average for Milpitas. Their API scores are improving each year. Alas, there is little money to support music, drama, art, etc. This was the last of the district's elementary schools to approve wearing uniforms, so the nearby community probably has more independent thinkers than other schools may have. Spangler feeds to Thomas Russell Middle School.
