I researched a few places for my son to get tutoring and this seemed to be the most reasonably…read morepriced in my area. They offer tutoring for math and reading for $125/130 per subject. If you choose to do both subjects, you get a discount. One thing I did not know is that it is a 6 month commitment. You do not get the option of weekly or monthly tutoring, because 6 months of your time as well as your child's time to commit to the tutoring. They days for this location are on Wednesday and Saturdays. They are opened for about 4-5 hours during those times. They encourage you to come at specific times, but you are able to come whenever you can during those times. They offer a free assessment to determining where your child is academically. If you agree, you can sign up and get started. They provide you child with a pouch of work for them to complete each day. Each work comes with an answer book to help you help your child with their tutoring. When they return to tutoring they check their work and go over the ones they have problems with. If they are still having problems they have to repeat the work over. In order to move up a level, they take a test to determine if they are able to move up. One thing I wish they did was help with homework. They focus on the materials they have. There were some days that my son was finished with their assignments early and it would've helped if they were able to help with that his homework from school. On top of homework and Kumon work it can be overwhelming. Overall, it was a good investment, his teachers noticed improvement in his reading and math. If you are going to do it, just know it is a commitment from parents and children.

My children have gone to the Russian School of Mathematics (RSM) for years. It's helped build their…read moreconfidence and more importantly their understanding. I love that they can take what they've learned in class and apply it practically to their school work, science fair projects, and the like. This isn't your run of the mill math tutoring center that teaches your child how to be a $2 calculator - the kids actually understand the theories behind what they are doing, so it's beyond rote memorization. My kids have all gone on to be top math students in their grades in school, winning several awards, and scoring perfect or near perfect scores on tests including the SAT, ACT, and SAT II Subject tests.

As a student of RSM since kindergarten, I can personally attest to the fact that this tutoring…read moreprogram is without a doubt an integral part of any young child's schooling. Aside from the actual mathematics, RSM teaches a school of thought that isn't displayed in the regular classroom. They instill the methodology of thinking rather than memorizing and this has shown great results in my classes and math competitions. Without the weekly meetings, my intellectual and mathematical abilities would be no where near as gifted and refined. I think that RSM is the absolute, only route that should be taken when deciding on a tutoring/extracurricular academics and I strongly recommend this to everyone.
