He…read moreconstantly went above and beyond, even emailing me constantly with last minute personalized tips the night before my APUSH exam. He helped me go from getting my first bad semester grade in AP World first semester to getting an A the 2nd semester and a 5 on the exam. He was so good that i went back to him for APUSH, helping me score straight As and a 5 on that exam as well. He personally asked me what I needed specifically to improve and gave me tons of practice resources that we went through together and i got so used to the exam question types that It helped me with every other AP I've taken since then. He truly cares about his students!

Christine is amazing!! So happy we decided to hire her to tutor our 6 year old with his reading. We…read moremoved to Lafayette over the summer and received feedback from my son's 1st grade teacher that his reading was below grade level. We is a young 1st grader, a middle child, and had been in a french school environment, so it was not a surprise for anyone. The teacher didn't think we needed to seek outside help just yet, but I decided to see how a session with Christine went anyways. We got into a routine and have been seeing her weekly for the past 6 months. My son LOVES Christine days!! And.. he is now beyond 1st grade reading level. More importantly, he is confident with his reading and really enjoys it. Thank you Christine!!

My son started with Christine, knowing only a few sight words, and was very shy to express what he knew. What seemed to be a quiet journey for learning, reading, my little boy is now bursting and craving to express his new found love for reading! All thanks to Christine and her commitment to giving the individual attention to each child at a time. I highly recommend any child for learning to read to Ms. Christine.

We've had a great experience with Matt for my high school son's geometry class. He has been…read moreexcellent at explaining concepts in a way that really makes sense. My son's math teacher at school sometimes explains things in a way that confuses him, but Matt is able to break everything down clearly and make sure he truly understands the material. He's also been very flexible with scheduling, which we really appreciate with a busy high school schedule. Most importantly, my son genuinely likes working with him and feels much more confident in geometry because of the extra help. We're very grateful for Matt's support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a patient, effective math tutor.

After care was a huge hit too as he loved playing at the park. On the last day he begged to have this camp in his summer rotation.

If I would have known summer camp is just 2 college/high school student watching bunch a kids running around and playing on the structures at the park, I would go to a day care with AC, indoor bathroom and snacks. Why even sent a placement email asking parents about their children grade level if the instructors aren't capable of accommodating different grade levels. I was clear about my 3rd grader can do 4th and 5th grade math. Instead of learning anything useful, they were teaching kids if you have 2 apples, how can John and Jane split it evenly... The worst part is the last minute move from indoor facilities to a small park down the street. When I went to pick up the kid, everyone is just running around playing on the playground structures, 2 college/high school students are just sitting there watching their phones. No adult was engaging with the kids. Parents didn't receive any advance notice about the move, nor offered refund options since they change the location. I really wouldn't care if the location is comparable, but the tiny park was unfit for math or STEM instruction. Math summer camp here is a false advertisement, they don't teach any math strategies. My child didn't learn anything useful nor is she more excited about math. We really looked forward to this and even thought about signing up for more classes in the falls but now we felt cheated and would not recommend this to anyone.

I booked Cara several months ago and the child care provider didn't show up despite confirming that they would come, I figured it was a one off. Four weeks ago I booked childcare and received confirmation approximately one week prior to childcare. I did not hear from the child care provider the evening before care so I called college nannies and tutors who put me in touch with my assigned provider. We went over an outline of the day at approximately 10:30 PM the night before care. The provider apparently canceled sometime between 10:30 PM and 7 AM the following day when she was supposed to begin work. College nannies and tutors did not inform me of this neither did the child care provider who had my telephone number. I work as an emergency physician so was 60 miles away actively managing patients when I received the news there was no one who had arrived to care for my children. Despite reaching out multiple times to both college nannies and tutors and bright horizons (Who subcontracts to them) and asking to speak to managers I have received no call back no explanation and no apology. Apparently, college nannies and tutors has no issue with abandoning young children and leaving them unsupervised after contracting to care for them. Do NOT use this company unless you are ready for a last minute cancellation and zero accountability.

We have utilized Lafayette Academy's services for ten years (possibly more). Their centers are…read morestaffed with experienced and knowledgeable tutors who can assist with tutoring in all academic areas along with ACT and SAT test prep, exam crams and more. I have two girls, who benefitted greatly over the years from their services. From middle school work to college level courses (they even helped my daughter who attended Cal Berkeley with her Business Statistics Course and my other daughter's Chemistry Course through San Diego State) Lafayette Academy had the appropriate staff on hand to assist with all of their needs. Their success can be attributed to the owners. The owner Mark B. with whom I conversed with regularly, is involved in his business and takes great care to ensure his clients are provided with excellent service. He and his staff are responsive and always have found the right fit for our daughters to ensure their academic success. I highly recommend Lafayette Academy! Simply put..they are the best! Aimee P.

He's incredibly thorough, honest, and real when it comes to assessing your progress. He's not just encouraging and motivating--he communicates clearly and adapts to your personal style, which makes the learning process so much smoother. At first, I was hesitant to hire him because of the price--I was really low on funds--but I decided to take the leap. And honestly, the knowledge and growth I gained were worth far more than what I paid. Even though he told me I didn't really need his help (how honest is that?), I knew I did! His honesty was exactly what convinced me to move forward. I mean, who wouldn't want to work with someone that experienced, that highly reviewed, and that genuine? After our very first session, I literally asked, "Can you just be in my life forever?" He's that good. Adam is not only excellent at what he does, but he's also incredibly supportive and real about your goals and progress.
