We couldn't have asked for a better SAT tutor for our son Taylor than Josh Lim. Josh has a strong…read moreengineering background, just like Taylor, so they clicked from the very first session. Josh understood how Taylor thinks and knew how to explain concepts in a way that made sense to him. Josh's guidance made a difference even before tutoring started. I had assumed the ACT would be the better fit, but Josh assessed Taylor's strengths and quickly helped us see that the SAT made more sense. Taylor is very strong in math and needed more support in reading and writing. That one piece of advice set us on the right path. Over just 10 weeks, Josh helped Taylor raise his score by several hundred points. He pushed Taylor's already-strong math even higher and, more impressively, helped him make real, measurable progress in reading and writing, the area where he'd struggled most. Taylor scored 1290 on his first official SAT in August and 1320 in September, and he's heading into his third attempt feeling confident and well prepared. Josh is patient, knowledgeable, and strategic, and he genuinely cares about his students' success. If your teen is preparing for the SAT or ACT, especially a STEM-minded student, I can't recommend Josh and AJ Tutoring highly enough.

The owner, Angie is an outstanding and experienced franchise owner who stands out with concern, education and inspiration. She knows this business model well. Her careful selection of team members clearly shows, from the center directors to the tutors themselves, everything shines. The location is immaculate and clean which is lovely, and the system they offer of learning math in terms of increasing fluency with numbers and being taught a system for breaking down problems so that you become both a fluid and fluent problem solver is a welcome game plan. I have a 4th Grader and 1st Grader here and both have gained some serious traction in math that easily translated into their respective classroosm. They have more math muscle to use! My Fourth Grader I was worried about as the work and complexity piled up in the 4th Grade. Having slipped slightly down the slope in 3rd Grade, I was concerned for what lay ahead in 5th Grade for him and felt this was a turning point, a time to dig in and so we dove in and started Mathnasium. So glad we did! It's made a real difference. FYI.. we did try Kumon several times back to back previous years and my son just didn't take with it. It's fine with a lot of his friends but for him it was a no go. This place.. he likes a lot. I think it has to do with the personal attention the tutors give here and the hands on material. Like another reviewer said it's about 1:3 ratio of tutors to students. Kids are given an assessment first which is great, and then you know where to begin. Then they work on fluency and also at their assessed skill level until they can move onto the next level, assessed both in terms of "fluency" and "grade level.) We were not so surprised to see my son initially tested in lower than his actual grade level. But in just a few short months he's risen right up and now at grade level (4th) assessment and hopefully pull into the 5th Grade level before he's actually in 5th Grade at school. So if you are on the fence about supplemental math, this is a fun place, with a nice casual atmosphere with intent.There is no homework like Kumon, so kids feel like they are done when they leave and that is great. They have punch card system with points, and points equal prizes which seems to motivate and keep festive the math education. Check em out! one last thing.. when I was a kid I fell behind in math and I never really recovered- it got to a point where i just wasn't comfortable and just struggled to get it done. My hope is to have my kids avoid this and while they don't have to LOVE math,I want them to feel confident and strong with it, so they can feel free to learn as much as they can without negative "I can't do it' feelings. Big Thank you's to all the staff, A.J., Keith , Angie, all who know my kids by name and make it fun while taking the time to make it cool to do Math. Oh.. my 1st grader! he really didn't need too much help he's only in 1st! but he insisted on joining because of big brother and how much fun it looked. It's paid dividends.. I think he is stronger and more confident and his teacher said math is one of his strongest subjects.

Chris, First of all,…read moreI just wanted to tell you a few long-awaited scores. The SAT Math II subject test I took over a month ago didn't do as well as I had hoped, but don't get me wrong, I am still pleased. In the end, I received a 670. Not a 700 but still the best score I have received thus far. Second, just about 45 seconds ago, I looked up my ACT test score that I took earlier this month. Fortunately, I finally improved my score!!! I got a 31 in English, a 30 in Math, a 31 in reading, and a 27 in science which makes my final score a 30!!! I am especially surprised about my reading and science score. Who knew I could do just as well in Reading as I did in English??? Finally, after over a year of weekly tutoring, I can't thank you enough for all your help. From countless hours of reading passages, math problems, physics concepts, Spanish conjugations, even essay editing, and occasionally a game of "geosense" or two, being tutored by you was less a boring learning session and more a fun experience and privilege. If I was ever confused about anything, you would always be clear and concise in your explanation. I have had many tutors but not many are able to teach me as well as you did. Consider teaching me a battle, and you get the gold medal. I would have never improved or done as well as I did on all my tests if it weren't for you. Going from a 1470 to essentially a 1980 is no easy task. Although it was me who took the actual tests, no student can improve as well as I did without the guidance of an amazing teacher. All in all, I owe a lot of my improvement and success to you. I really believe that without you by my side throughout the past year, I could be applying to maybe only CSM with only a chance of getting in...considering that first SAT score... A year ago, never would I have thought that I would be applying to some of the schools I am applying to today. I can't thank you enough. You are a great mentor and teacher.

In every way working with Jennifer exceeded our expectations. We chose Jennifer because a close friend told us Jennifer had worked with her high school students, and the students of many of her friends, and that she and her friends were very happy with Jennifer. I am very happy I followed her recommendation. Jennifer is obviously highly skilled, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and compassionate. She made a very positive connection with our student. By working one-on-one with our student she was able to effectively use her time to help where help was needed. Jennifer also gave us important advice to help us understand the entire testing process. Jennifer very effectively helped our student maximize the benefit of preparation time and maximize the test scores. Thank you Jennifer!
