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.

The process to sign up and to get an assessment was easy and the staff is very helpful. My daughter first hesitated going to math school over the summer but she truly likes it. I think it's because she sees how much it's helping and she is feeling confident about her skills. They are always on time and the ratios are great. Also, very easy and confident in terms of week to week scheduling. Pricing is right too. Don't hesitate. If your child needs help with math go here! Also, while you wait there are lots of restaurants in the shopping center to choose from.

There are always engaging and creative activities, and our little one has made wonderful friends here. We also truly appreciate the warm and friendly parent community. It's easy to communicate and connect with other families. A special thank you to Ms. Sree and Miss Cyndi, who are incredibly caring, responsible, and organized. Every activity is thoughtfully planned and executed with love. We feel so lucky that our child was able to spend an entire preschool year in Room 2. Highly recommend to any family looking for a nurturing and well-rounded preschool experience!

Stratford: the most expensive way to get less education…read more Stratford operates like a corporation first and a school second. My daughter attended from age three through 4th grade. We chose to withdraw because the 5th-grade campus commute would have been unreasonable. We communicated this intention clearly and repeatedly, in person, to the principal (Preethi Chadha) and her 4th-grade teacher. Despite that, Stratford charged a 10% withdrawal fee on annual tuition, claiming notice was not submitted to the "corporate" office. At no point did anyone proactively flag this requirement, remind us, or make any effort to prevent the fee--after years of tuition and what we believed was a community relationship. The result felt less like a policy and more like a revenue mechanism. Moving to Los Gatos public schools was eye-opening: materially better support, stronger administration, and none of the "tuition-with-fees" experience. To be clear, our criticism is not of the teachers--we had several excellent educators doing their best. The issue is administrative and institutional. If you're considering Stratford, go in with clear eyes: their priorities are corporate first, families second.

He was skeptical on going to an SAT tutor- but Janet was great in helping him see that his issues weren't what he thought they were- he was making sloppy mistakes. So she practiced a couple different approaches with him over the 5 or 6 sessions until they found what really worked. He got in the 1500s- and actually enjoyed his experience practicing the SAT skills thanks to Janet!

Jessica sends me long and detailed emails to keep me posted of her sessions with my Daugher. She checks in with my daughter about her grades.

My son has recently started online math tutoring with Christine and we have found it very helpful…read more Christine offers direct and online tutoring. Though hesitant at first I have found online tutoring convenient since the student does it from home and the timing of 9 pm suits my teenager because it is after all school activities and homework is done. (She also offers online tutoring before 3 pm) The software used meets the needs, Christine comes prepared for each lesson and does a good job of assessing student needs. We send review sheets, homework and graded work as pictures to her before the lesson so this doesn't cut into tutoring time. My son is already getting more confident and his grades are starting to go up. I highly recommend Christine Wang as a math tutor.

I strongly recommend Juniper Tree Enrichment Program for anyone seeking holistic learning and…read moreemotional regulation in a nurturing environment for your child. My daughter was in Juniper Tree from 2017 to 2021. She started Juniper as a replacement of a Waldorf school she had been attending. Looking back, the school director and teacher Yishan's combined approach of Montessori and Waldorf proved more effective for my kid's learning and overall development. The teachers' and staff's personalized attention to each child in a small group setting, a clean, relaxing and cozy atmosphere that comforts children to stay calm and focused, emphasis on children's emotional growth by teaching how to communicate are not what I could get in any other school including the Waldorf school she attended before. I feel privileged to have met Teacher Yishan since she changed the way my child communicates herself. She turns learning into fun each day where children truly learns and internalizes the subject and empowers each child to cultivate their self-esteem and communication skills. When I spot my kid in an emotionally charged situation, I remind her of what she learned at Juniper Tree and she articulates her feelings and reasoning even now after we departed from Juniper Tree. I am happy to see Juniper Tree growing each year. It will have to be since their educational philosophy and practices are genuinely beneficial for children.
