My daughters (third and fifth grade) transitioned to FCPS at the start of the 2024-25 academic…read moreyear. Due to differences from their previous school in both teaching style and curriculum, both children needed additional support in mathematics. We have had such an excellent experience with Tutoring in Fairfax we have continued sessions throughout the summer and now into this next academic year- both students are excelling in their math classes and exhibiting confidence in their skills. For anyone seeking tutoring I would highly recommend Tutoring in Fairfax- the team that runs this organization has been highly responsive and efficient and the girls think the world of their tutor Marvin. The cost of quality tutoring in NoVA is significant but, in this case, I would say you absolutely receive what is promised. They offer both group and individual tutoring and they are truly invested in your satisfaction and in your student's experience.

They were able to hone his strengths and focus on areas needing improvement. They make learning fun and instill discipline at the same time. I've looked at other tutoring places but we chose TIF because aside from the amazing staff, principles, and depth of learning, the place is very conducive for individualized and focused learning --- they have separate rooms to help the students get 100% of attention. Laleh also makes time for parent interaction; you don't feel rushed when talking with her and she's a good listener and will work with the parents. It helps a lot that Zach, who manages the front office is always on top of things (scheduling changes, etc.). Plus, they offer a lot of flexibility in cancelling lessons ahead of time for any reason and will not charge you (unlike in others where you are locked in). If you are looking for quality for your kiddos, this is definitely the place to go.

I took the 8-week summer SAT prep course with Jen, and with her help, I got a score of 1550 on the…read moreDigital SAT (DSAT) on my first attempt! This score was a massive 300-point improvement from my PSAT that I took the year before. Initially, Jen's class helped me to familiarize myself and solve the different types of reading, grammar, and math questions, giving me the initial bump to the 1450 range on a practice test. Then, she taught me to be more vigilant regarding the more deceptive questions, ultimately allowing me to get consistent scores in the mid to high 1500s on the College Board practice SATs. Throughout the process, Jen was very accommodating and answered all of my and my parent's questions about the DSAT. I highly recommend this class to students at all levels looking to improve their scores and can't thank Jen enough for my improvement.

Disclaimer: This is the first negative review I have ever written. I have never left a negative…read morereview online, only positive when I'm happy with a business but due to how horrible my experience was with this business, I had to inform others. Prep with Jen is not really prep with "Jen". I went by the Google reviews not realizing that the most recent review was over a year ago... If you are interested in private lessons, be prepared to pay $110+ for an hour and you aren't even getting sessions with Jen. She subcontracts her sessions out to other tutors and has very little oversight over the sessions other than her being cc'd on the summary emails. They don't record sessions (even my son's wyznat tutors record sessions!), and her tutors are not as qualified or engaging as she is. She picks up the phone and talks a lot with you before you sign up, builds a personal plan and approach but once you drop thousands of dollars on her packages, she disappears and only reappears when the tutor summons her over an extremely trivial issue (rescheduling class time requests in our case). She isn't interested in customer service and is only concerned with maximizing her tutors schedule with clients. I would not recommend at all - not only was the tutor not worth the rate, her customer service was horrible after we signed the contract UPDATE: In response to Jen's response, her claims are bogus. Her tutor wasn't happy that we asked to reschedule 3 times out of 8 sessions because of 1 time having the flu , one time a serious car accident and 1 time an unforeseeable conflict! Rather than picking up the phone and discussing with the family, Jen claimed my son was unengaged which was absolute lies! How non empathetic is that?! My son is an honors student with 4.3 GPA so forgive me if I think you're claims are bogus... She has zero evidence to back up her below claims, as my sons score already improved but majorly due to his own studying and not because of her tutors sessions which pretty much was a project management approach of watching my son complete assignments rather than truly explaining concepts. Although we accommodated changes in timing by her tutor for 5 sessions, her tutor for some reason didn't appreciate 3 reschedules and then made these bogus claims of unegagement to Jen that she decided to not even validate with the family. If you want personalized instruction with a tutoring organization that is invested in your personal success, this isn't the place for you.

Please consider them for your child's math - both of my kids has benefited from learning here- catch up and to maintain- they really are great to work with! They also have a trial period, and will tell you if the child will not do well with their style of teaching... she isn't just out for the bucks! #WeloveMathnasiumBurke!

Then they created a curriculum for him. He is slightly above his grade level in math. They took what he was already good at, but slow at. Explained that a student can get bored with it even if they are good at it, when they are slow. Asked if it was ok if they taught him faster ways to arrive at the correct answers. (He was getting correct answers but using slower methods.) He is thriving in math! He enjoyed it in public school a few years ago. Had a bad run with teachers who didn't keep it fun anymore. And now, with Mathnasium, he finds it fun again!! He has only been coming here a few very short months, and is about to finish up grade level math, and start the next grade level of math before this year's schooling is up. He even compliments them sometimes to me. He told me yesterday , "I used to forget things I learned in math at school a week after they taught me. But I know it perfectly now." Big compliments from my son who doesn't compliment any old thing.

Best experience ever!…read more I would highly recommend Educational Connections to any family looking for high-quality academic support, whether it's tutoring, test prep, or executive functioning coaching. It was worth every penny for our family. We had a fantastic experience with Educational Connections. Both of my kids worked with their team over the years for everything from executive functioning support and subject tutoring to test prep, and the impact was huge. What I appreciated most was that their approach never felt "one size fits all." They really took the time to understand each child's learning style, strengths, and areas where they needed support. The tutors and coaches were smart, patient, encouraging, and incredibly professional. My son also worked with an SAT tutor through Educational Connections, and his score increased by 250 points. The preparation gave him not only stronger test-taking skills, but also a level of confidence going into the exam that made a tremendous difference. As a parent, the communication and responsiveness were excellent. You truly feel like they're partnering with your family and invested in your child's success.

This is not just the sit down and stare at practice tests all day tutoring spot. They teach why the answer is the answer and why other answers are not the correct one. They really do help the ins and outs of the test, showing you SAT tricks and tips as well. The people there motivate you to work harder and do your best. I never liked studying as a kid and to be honest, who does as a kid, but going to tutor was a fun time. There is laughter and fun there, but don't get me wrong, studies do come first. It is not a place I would dread to go to. Its a place where I met new people that I now consider family.

I love how welcoming the center director, Gary, and the education coordinator, Isabelle, are to questions and concerns. Whenever I need to change my schedule or talk about any problems I have with my classes, Gary and Isabelle are always open to helping me to the best of their abilities. Furthermore, the tutors at C2 are amazing! Dr. Alan, for example, got me through freshman year conceptual physics and taught me different strategies for solving problems as my math courses in school became more complex. Sean and Kate have taught me to improve my writing style and utilization of rhetorical strategies as well. The fact that they, along with other tutors offer workshops in study skills definitely helped me understand how to work smarter and more efficiently. Overall, my experience at C2 has allowed for me to thrive and excel in school. I've found myself being more confident in class during discussion and using strategies that I've learned from tutors on tests and various evaluations. C2 definitely gives you the assistance and practice you need for school, college, and real-life applications.
