After researching many commercial tutoring and enrichment centers, we found a hidden jem in…read moreBronxville, NY, that is Majic Carpet Learning. The warm and welcoming decor in the window display that includes plush teddy bears sets the tone for a kid- friendly atmosphere. This warm and kid friendly mood continues as you enter the door and is a wonderful reflection of Ms. Lori as a person and teacher. She is warm, genuinely cares for her students' progress and always has a positive outlook. Ms Lori, an ivy league graduate and an expert in Orton Gillingham technique, is very organized and purposeful with her teaching methods and is able to show how progress occurred in each session. Ms. Lori worked with my son for the past three months and has ignited his passion for reading. My son's enrichment time with Ms. Lori has meet and exceeded our expectations. We are very enthusiastic to continue with Ms. Lori at Majic Carpet Learning in the school year.

Magic Carpet Learning Center has been invaluable to our family throughout the years…read more Whether it was our older child who needed help with math word problems or our younger child who just wanted to "get ahead" in reading and math, Magic Carpet has been an absolutely wonderful experience for our children [and for us as parents]. There is nothing like seeing grades improve while a child develops a thirst for learning. Our family recommends Magic Carpet Learning Center to anyone without the slightest hesitation. We sincerely feel that any child would benefit greatly from Magic Carpet. We followed them on their move from Scarsdale to Bronxville and would follow them to the ends of the Earth if necessary!

I met Marcia Royce some years back when my girlfriend's children attended The Key Institute and I…read moreassisted her with transporting them. Last week I enrolled my son in the Key Institute and was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! Upon entering we were immediately taken aback by the intense smell of DOG. My son's allergies immediately started acting up and after I left, she told him to stop sniffing. Prior to agreeing to enrollment, Ms. Royce told me that all of her assistants had Masters Degrees. She said she would teach my son study skills as well as work with him on his math which is why he was there! My eighth grade son was "tutored" by a tenth grade student who did NOTHING with him. She had my son pull up his math work from school (which were already completed and had the answers) on his phone and he redid the problems. When I picked him up I asked her what grade she was in and she told me. I asked her how my son did with math and she responded, "good; he knew everything I gave him". Ms. Royce gave my son some papers to read about study skills while she interrupted him and told him random stories and yelled at the other student who was there. There were NO materials there and Ms. Royce actually asked me to purchase same from Barnes and Nobles to give to her so that she can use them with my son. Ms. Royce consistently called me by my son's name and asked my son, "and what is your name?" She told me one price prior to us going and a second price once we were there and yet a third price when I opened my wallet to pay her. She did not come downstairs until one of her Assistants went to get her and prior to that we heard her loudly talking baby talk ( I assumed to her dog as she told me she had one upstairs). As she made her way downstairs where we were she continued in that way of talking as she closed the door and told the dog to "stay there now". Ms. Royce made inappropriate comments and remarks to my son ( who is African American). She told him that he shouldn't eat sugar because it's bad for his brain, but that he should eat watermelon. She chuckled immediately after she made this comment. She told him that he should read books and she mentioned " like books about Martin Luther King". When my son shared that he wants to have a baseball career but he wants to complete college first, she remarked, "Just as long as you don't kneel during the National Anthem". When I paid her, she said she would give me my change when I returned to pick up my son. She did not, nor did she even mention owing me change. I know that she has had a very good reputation in the past but I just think it's time for her to hand over the reins. She definitely appears to be senile. When I called her to advise her that my son would not be returning and why, she confirmed all that she said to my son but said, "so what? What's wrong with that?". She told me that her Assistants with Masters Degrees no longer worked there and one passed away. According to her, the tenth grader was "temporary" and she knows a Teacher in the Yorktown School District who she could ask to come to the institute to teach my son. Ms. Royce did not remember talking the baby talk nor did she remember that her Assistant had to go upstairs to get her to come downstairs. She was adamant that she did so on her own and just as adamant that she wasn't talking baby talk. Ms. Royce really needs to consider either closing up shop or turning The Key Institute into capable hands because hers no longer are!

One son was finished after taking it the first time. The other son was somewhat disappointed with his scores on his first ACT. Instead of trying to push more tutoring on us, Judy was very honest and said that he really just needed to practice and that alone would probably increase his scores. She gave him additional tests to take at home and had him come to CLC to do timed tests in a test-like environment and it worked! We're grateful for their help during this process and were very happy with the results.
