Can't say enough good things about Tutoring Club! When my boys had their initial assessment, I was…read moreshocked to see that neither one could tell Mr. A all the vowels in the alphabet. Fast forward 1.5-2 years later: my oldest started high school and is getting an A+ in almost every subject. My younger is now in middle school and has commented often how much the tutoring has helped in class: "I see my friends struggling with what the teacher presented today but I already knew how to do it because I learned it in tutoring". Investing in this tutoring program was worth every penny to see my kids excel in school. They are now confident and eager to learn. Big thanks to the team at Millbrae Tutoring Club!

My son started 6th grade last fall and as the months progressed, I noticed he was falling way…read morebehind in his reading and writing assignments. He was struggling as each months rolled by. And I tried to help him myself and I have tried other avenues of reading and writing programs that have not been successful for him. I have searched for many in-person tutoring sites to see which will be the best fit for him. When I was consulting with Mr A regarding my son's struggles, he knew exactly how I felt. I described in short that my son can't even write a SIMPLE descriptive christmas card is when I knew he was in trouble. When Alex got assessed , he was exactly in the level I knew he was, 3 grade levels behind. The more in depth we discussed how to get Alex Caught up and that tutoring clubs program has been successful, I truly believed this might be the help he will finally get and need. Mr A said my son has time to catch up and that their program is successful. Here we are 4.5 months later, I'd like to report that I am overwhelmed with joy to know my son has made major breakthrough in comprehension and writing. Though he still has a long way to go, but in the short time frame he's been at tutoring club, I have seen a major improvements in his comprehension, in his writing, and most importantly his self esteem. I recently read one of my sons argumentative papers and I cried happy tears. Given he still have grammatical and puntuation errors, I couldn't believe he wrote a full page essay. This has brought tears to my eyes because he couldn't even write a simple note in card without feeling frustrated. I am truly impressed and I thank you Mr A and the wonderful tutorers that have given my son their time and patience in teaching him. And my son doesn't dread attending class. They are remarkable teachers. I highly recommend Tutoring Club .

As an update the management continue to repeat and no resolution or even acknowledge the…read moreconversation ever happened from the prior manager. Basically a verbal isn't an agreement. It was my words against their words without a written contract. The regional director told me as "doing me a favor to be down at the office to meet with me". This was a very arrogant statement. As you can imagine, after they take your money, all courtesy is out the window. My suggestion is to go somewhere else where you can don't have to buy the package in advance. This way it can ensure the quality of services that your kid receives.

All of a sudden, before the school starts, the receptionist told me that my kids can't continue the Tuesday session with Philip anymore because I didn't respond to the email they sent to me. The Tuesday spots my kids have are given to other students. However, there is nothing stated in the email that we as the parents are required to respond to the email if we want to keep the same schedule, or if we didn't respond to the email, our regular session will be given to other students. No one at the center has ever asked my kids if they want to keep the same Tuesday session or switch to a different schedule before or after their tutoring session on Tuesdays. I talked to the center director Norman wang right away, he was very angry and raised up his voice to tell me that your kids have been with Philip for 2 years on Tuesday doesn't mean that they can be with Philip on the same schedule for as long as you want?!! My kids tried to talk to the front desk this evening as well, the front desk person at c2 just told my kids that since your mom didn't respond to the email, we can do whatever we want. I have included the email they sent to me. This is really unfair. I think they treated us this way is because we purchase a big package($16k)from c2 about 2 years ago. Just be very careful parents, if you want to buy tutoring package from c2, pay attention to the hours they subtract as well. A few parents have warned me about this. I will try to talk to the district manager to resolve this issue. Will keep you guys updated as soon as I hear more from the upper management.

This is very good for your children, they have something called the closest and they lock the bad…read morekids in there- jk they don't do that the closest is a closest as said in the name, but its walls are covered in glow in the dark sticker and it is very lovely what Helena will do for her students, and what she will allow them to do. They study and have a lot of fun which is rare for a tutoring center. Even if she is not working with them it has a nice environment which makes it easy to do work. Some kid colored the staple though, which is actually pretty nice because now whenever you staple something it's rather pretty. All the students there are also very nice and you're sure to make some friends which is nice for socially awkward kids, and if you don't make any friends you still have Helena. :)

This place is horrible. The woman who runs it apparently has no friends so she "hangs out" with the…read morestudents and makes them her buddies. the reason it has 5 stars is because threre is a set group of everyday kids who seem to run the place more than she does. THEY are the people who wrote the reviews. She actually DOES homework for some children instead of instruction. You can walk by there often and she is not even there and only students are in the office! (I walk by there on the way home from work daily. I can't count how many times I've seen this) They have access to her computer, including other students information on school and billing information. Worse is the fact that she talks about other students problems with her little group. My child used to be part of this group and do homework. He always wondered what was said about him when he was gone. The other tutor's are marginal at best. My son had a 3.5 and he hoped to get it up to a 4.0 or close at least. He made 3.6 after months of tutoring. Talk to several people before you go here, and not the kids sitting around every afternoon. You can do better at kumon or sylvan I'm certain. I'm just sorry I didn't have a review that was truthful to read when I was researching.

I've seen signs about this place but hadn't heard too much about it. One weekend day she was frustrated at a problem and I was no help so I figured let's try it! Well it was the best thing. We have met with Jason and he's a really good tutor. I sat in the waiting room for the first meeting and I liked how he directed her to the answer instead of just giving her the answer.

IThere were no real improvements among his 3 practice test AJ Tutors administered. I asked the instructor about this and he said it was typical but let's see how the SAT goes and then we can assess if we want a 1:1 session (more $$ of course). We received the SAT scores and the total score has no improvement. After the 2nd practice test I inquired if we could get a list of question that were answered incorrectly so we could focus/revise studying and it didn't happen. The program is very expensive to not see any gains or meaningful improvement in overall test score from the practice tests. Instructors should know how to get students past a plateau.

During my observation of their setting, I was impressed by the hands-on methods they employed to engage each child. The atmosphere was dynamic, with peers actively participating and working collaboratively with the kids. My son is currently enrolled and loves Kumon. He is eager to do his homework! I attended Kumon when I was younger, and it helped me gain skills and a consistent routine to get into UC Davis. I cannot recommend Kumon highly enough. Starting this program at an early age is crucial, as it helps instill positive learning habits that can last a lifetime. Investing in Kumon now will undoubtedly significant rewards in the long run, particularly when it comes to preparing students for admission into outstanding colleges. The emphasis on foundational skills and comprehension is invaluable, setting children up for success in their academics.

Rachel Allen is a cult-like experience (and I have never before said that about a business)…read more If I could summarize my experience I would say: imagine a cult that designed a 10 day course. Imagine all the self-righteousness, shameless self-promotion, and a need to dictate others. And that would encapsulate the experience. Jennie Anne and Nirielle Marquez were insightful when focused on course topics, but that was only 2/3 of the time. Example of being off topic include them talking about: -How shoe size signifies p***s size (continuing on to boasts her husband's shoe size). -How an ex cheated on one of them, and that the peroxide she had scared his leg with prior, she wished to instead have poured down his throat instead. -How we must forgive others (the irony)(this was also said multiple times a day). -Stories of people who supposedly failed NCLEX for 10-20 years, until passing at exactly 75 questions after one 10-day R.A. course. *All these tangents could go on for 15-30 minutes. Time allotted for questions? No. But, we did have "guest lecturer" who instead of covering any material, shamelessly self-promoted their company for 40 uninterrupted minutes. Also: -You are required to have our cameras on at all times (the lectures were not). -You're warned that if you walked away from the screen that you would be booted from the lecture. Why don't other reviews read this way? If you look you'll see the majority of Rachel Allen's reviews look like they were written by employees, or they're "success stories" written on their website. If you enjoy unsolicited sermons, patronizing approaches to education, or awful attempts at humor, then by all means take this course.
