We've had a great experience here at Sylvan. They've been so helpful with our daughter, who just…read morehates school. We knew we were on the right track, when less than a month after starting with their reading program, she lost her reluctance to even try to read. Till then, she'd hide under the furniture when she was supposed to read. Soon, with new confidence and enjoyment of reading, she started making noticeable progress at school. And she loves the tokens, games, and prizes that Sylvan offers to keep things fun. The directors, Pete and Matt, and all the patient staff have worked hard to help our child feel welcome and to meet her unique needs.

My son was really struggling with learning to read. We started him at sylvan a few weeks before he…read morestarted first grade. Now, after roughly 3 months not only is he finding it much more enjoyable to learn to read, but he's even one of the more advanced readers in his class. I've seen improvements in his handwriting. His spelling is still pretty bad, but he went from refusing to even attempt to write anything to now he is at least willing to sound things out and write things out phonetically. His only complaint about some of the tutors is that they make him do his work (which is exactly their job- I would not be as happy if they were not doing that), but overall he likes everyone there.

My son goes to Branham High School and struggling with the AP Calculus class. The teacher he had…read morewas not very good and my son was falling behind. In order to catch him up we signed up for tutoring with Doug Unger. Doug was AMAZING. He caught my son up the best that he could with the limited time he had and gave my son the confidence he needed to take the class. We just got back his test score and he passed with a 3. There is NO way my son would have been able to pass without Doug's help. My only regret is waiting to get a tutor (we signed up in April). Doug basically caught my kid up in 6 weeks. So a big thank you to Doug!!!

My 9 years old daughter just had our first meeting with Heidi. The reason we signed my daughter up…read morewith the tutoring center is because my daughter just switched school and we want her to do well in the new school. Heidi is amazing!! During the 30 minutes we met with her, she was able to point out all the important things that we can do to make learning fun and exciting. My daughter felt so comfortable with Heidi and was able to carry a very meaningful conversation during the 30 minutes. I also feel that she really cares about her students. Our first lesson is tomorrow with Ms. Heidi and we cannot wait!!! We also talked to Mike before signing my daughter up for the program and Mike is very knowledgeable and willing to share his knowledge!!

My son was a 10th grader when he joined C2, and I didn't know much about American college…read moreadmissions or SAT prep. The center director was able to help me so much with providing me all the counseling about college applications and other requirements (subject tests, AP exams, COSMOS, Stanford summer camp, etc). My son now is a senior and he got accepted to UCLA and Berkeley. The C2 SAT worked for my son, it helped preparing him with the SAT test content and the teachers there helped him with test taking strategies. After I told the center director I want to have to more updates on what my son does in the center, she emailed me long detailed report of what he does every week with teachers' comments. For learning progress, you just gotta ask. I really appreciate C2 Education, and we spent two years here. It works and it's worth.

A very bad educational center for your kids. It is not a honesty educational center. Don't sign…read moreup for it!!! Don't trust their Ads and promotion! Don't pay for high hour package even it may be cheaper! Once you pay, you have no way to back it out and very little refund for you according to their refund policy. The center changes their staff very often(less than 3 months) that you have no control of their quality. In addition, the center would not provide you online account for you to keep track on your hours. You have no way to check on your hours after couple weeks in their system unless you keep asking the center and end up you be cheated on your hours. It happened to me. Because of referral and C2 education promotion on March 2018, I signed my kids up for 50hrs program(couple thousand dollars) with Christin. This month, C2 changed all their staffs and my promotion credit(new sign up and referral credits) got deleted in their system. I have not able to get the promotion credit back with their new director, Tom and my kids are not comfortable to go to this center for tutoring anymore even I still have 2/3 of 50 hours package remaining. I strongly advise people not to sign up for this C2 center!!! It is a very bad unfaithful tutoring center !!! Here is my advice for the current C2 family due to staff change often in C2: 1) Confirm and use your promotion credit ASAP. The center may delete it without letting you know. New staff will not honor your promotion credit !!! 2) Get hard copy of your hour confirmation! Different new staff will tell you different story. Especially when you cancel the class, ask for confirmation email for your record. 3) Make sure all ads promotion written in your contract. Get hard copy of credit hour as confirmation. 4) The C2 center change tutors often and may hire part time student as tutor. It is very hard for customer to control their tutoring quality. I got feedback from my kid that it is not very helpful depends on subjects. One or two math problems could make you spend two tutoring hours to solve for it. 5) Don't sign up for this C2 center!!! It is a very bad unfaithful tutoring center !!!

The center has maintained its friendly, welcoming, and genial atmosphere from the the clean interior, great administrator, and attentive instructors. Love the interactions from the instructors as they keep the kids engaged but also are able to refocus their attention to completing the task at hand. Great student to instructor ratio, so your child will be helped immediately with instant feedback. Can't wait to see what my student and Mathnasium can achieve at the end of the school year!

My son who is a 5th grader started attending Mathnasium about 6-7 months ago and we have seen…read moretremendous improvement. What we really love is the format. The learning plan is tailored to the individual needs of your child. My son happened to learn without any pressure in this kind of setup. He went from mid-5th grade level to nearly finishing the 7th grade level now in about 7 months time. In a previous year, we had tried a different Math school that is more of a classroom kind of setup with 2 hrs of instruction. It did not work for him and we had to withdraw him from the program. While that was definitely a great place in terms of the curriculum and teachers, the classroom format just didn't work for my child. Big shout out to the center director Miguel. Really appreciate the flexibility with scheduling. There have been times when we had to cancel last minute OR even ask if there was a slot available the same evening. They have been very accommodative with our requests. Mathnasium team recently had a multi-center math competition. That was a fun exercise and I think more than anything, it was a fun event where kids could learn and enjoy Math.

My daughter started working with Anurag last year on AP Chemistry. We started really late in…read moreNovember and by then she was really struggling. We have tried a few other tutors before Anurag and were disappointed. Once she started working with Anurag, things changed pretty quickly and by the AP Test time she was ready for the test. She got 4 on the test which was a huge accomplishment as a sophomore. For next year she already started working with Anurag on AP Physics and AP Calc AB and she is just sailing through and is very happy with her progress and level of confidence. Anurag is super patient and is able to explain complex concepts really well. He's also great at guiding her on how to break down AP Test style questions and get through them without feeling overwhelmed.

Over the past year I have been impressed by Anurag's tutoring, especially for AP Physics. Thanks to…read morehim my son got a 5 on the AP Physics 1 exam, and an A in the class. His teaching style is very organized and original. He helps students to solve common problems that they would encounter and dives deeper into each topic than the AP syllabus. This, in addition to his use of real world problems and context, allows students to better understand the material and succeed in the class. He matches the students pace on each topic, slowing down for the harder parts and speeding up for the simpler concepts. Additionally he shares all the examples and his solutions from each class. If the student is stuck on a problem, he makes sure to explain it in detail, clearing any doubts the student might have. He is also very quick to reply to questions outside of class. Additionally, he is a pretty flexible teacher in terms of rescheduling classes and has been able to accommodate any cancelations or rescheduling my son has needed over this past year. He is a great for a student who wants to thoroughly understand the material and you will see the results.
