They are very knowledgeable, experienced in this field, but what really intrigued me that they are passionate about what they do. On day one they assessed my level on all modules based on my plans on taking the test, they created a roadmap. We discussed it together and that sounded a plan. We worked based on that, there were times I'll get slow due to my full time job and distractions in life but they got me back on track. Definitely that's not possible without the extra efforts from them. There were days I got off days from work and they encourage me to visit the institute and they will arrange for 1 -1 class to keep on track. Who does that? People with passion! They were super nice, I was comfortable working them , I would approach them with my work anytime and get feedback. I scored more than what I was expecting. The are THE best!!!! Good luck :)

I've been compelled to write this review for a while-- my daughter has been with iBest since…read morebeginning of this school year and I only have great things to say! My daughter has been learning progressively through iBest's curriculum and enrichment courses and I truly think that her public school education alone would not get her to where she is now. She often recites or sings what she learned here, which goes to show how much she enjoys the learning process. I always feel confident knowing that her after school teachers are helping her learn beyond her school curriculum and setting her up for academic success. I'm often busy to check her homework but when I do, I'm amazed at how much she has learned within a few weeks. In addition to their academic program, I really appreciate the staff's genuine care. Jessica, Annie, Yiping, and Lan-- they are all great and superb with their communication in-person, via email, or phone. I can feel that they prioritize the safety and well-being of my child, for example, by calling me to double confirm if someone picked her up from school when they heard from their driver that I had texted for no pick-up that day. Also, I'm not sure how they keep up with the details but they somehow manage to remember what she brought to school that day (stuffed doll, what type of outerwear - jacket/cardigan, her water bottle, etc). They also check to make sure my kid finished her packed lunch at school; if not they help heat it up for her to finish. Lastly, I'm sure working parents would be thrilled to know that iBest has been really great about opening and offering childcare on days that public schools (randomly) close. They are open pretty much all year with the exception of major holidays. This is our first year of public school and I've heard from other working parents about the complexity of finding multiple weekly summer programs- but I'm so grateful that iBest provides all of this. It brings every parent a peace of mind!

My daughter has been with iBest for more than one year since Transitional Kindergarten. It was…read moretough for a little kid to transit from a preschooler to an elementary student, and to stay in the school until almost 6pm for parents' pickup. IBest made it a smooth transition for my daughter. They offer plenty of activities and books. Small classes bring a lot attention to each student. They teach advanced stuff outside the public school curriculum. Specially designed Chinese class and math class are included in the tuition. I get to meet the teacher whenever request and communicate about my child's performance. The staff also watch the little kids closely to make sure they finish their lunch and drink plenty of water, which is a big release for me. We fully trust the teachers and staff there to take care our kid. The only problem is, my daughter doesn't want to go home when I pick her up :)

It is amaze how two hours a week can make so much difference. My kids were in the Cantonese class. America Chinese school probably the only one that offers Cantonese classes in the Fremont area. The thing I like about this school is they have classes all the way to high school level and you might be able to use it for school credits. Learning Chinese is a long process and it takes time to master it over time, so it makes sense to spend few hours a week to learn it over time. The other thing I like about the school is the class is very affordable.

She feeds them ACTUAL healthy clean food, organic fruit, breakfast and lunch. It's really clean and well kept, she teaches them manners and love and affection which is what they still need while mommy is at work! My daughter was 1.5 when I took her by the time she was 3ish she was ready to start pre school. She could write her name, knew shapes and colors in English AND Spanish and started reading. Fast forward she is 6 and all 3 teachers she's had have complimented how prepared she was- all thanks to Nelva and Dora. Now she is at a private school where part of the admissions process was to test in and she received a scholarship to #2 ranked school in the state. I thank Nelva for this, she prepared her, saw her curiosity to learn and encouraged it. If and when we grow our family- this is where our next baby is going to.

She genuinely delights in the kids and does her best for them. We never had to worry about our kids when they were in her care. We trust her with them even more than we trust some of our own family.
