My daughter and son both joined the Tutoring Club in 2023 and have been attending ever since…read more Before finding them, I struggled to get the right support for my daughter--most tutoring centers were either too expensive or not open to working with kids on the spectrum. Tutoring Club, however, was very inclusive and accommodating from the start. I have the highest regard for Anil and his son, who run this center. They are soft-spoken, humble, polite, and--most importantly--very understanding and flexible. Before joining, both of my kids had difficulties with comprehension and writing. While it took some time, the dedicated tutors at Tutoring Club made a real difference. Their efforts helped strengthen my kids' reading and writing skills, which clearly showed in their most recent CAASPP scores. I credit the Tutoring Club for this progress. If you're looking for a tutoring center that is not only effective but also INCLUSIVE and supportive, Tutoring Club is truly worth exploring. I would recommend them anytime, to anyone.

I have a freshman and a sophomore and have been taking them for about 3 years now, not because I…read moreforce them to but because they ask for it. The owner Anil is the greatest when it comes to making the kids feel welcomed and seen and he's great with communicating with the parents. Both kids have always been tutored for math, and just recently I reached out to see if Tutoring Club tutors chemistry - and they do! Anil and team, thank you for giving the kids confidence in their subjects as they navigate through the San Ramon school system. I am grateful to have you help the kids with things I know I can't do and I'm blessed to be able to lean on you guys with helping my kids.

He explained everything so clearly and gave very realistic guidance on what we should focus on going into 11th grade.

Highly recommend C2 if you're looking for strong tutoring and college counseling support.

Hello, I would like…read moreto take a moment to sincerely thank my daughter's AP World History tutor for the wonderful support and encouragement provided over the past period of time. When my daughter first started AP World History tutoring, her confidence in the subject was quite low and her grades were below a C. Through the instructor Troy's patience, clear explanations, and positive encouragement, my daughter gradually regained her confidence, began to enjoy the subject, and felt much happier learning again. We are very pleased to share that her efforts, together with his guidance, have paid off -- her AP World History grade has now improved to an A. More importantly, she believes in herself again, which means so much to us as parents. Thank you for not only helping my daughter academically, but also for supporting her emotionally and building her confidence. We truly appreciate the dedication and care shown by Troy. With sincere gratitude...

Look no further....East Bay Prep is the absolutely the BEST ACT Prep Class!…read more The test prep course worked along with my daughter's heavy Junior/Senior year academic load, on top of their weekly test prep lessons. The team was excellent at listening, communicating and following the needs of my daughter "individually" to help her succeed. The tutoring was flexible to her competitive sport schedule, as this was also key to the demands of succeeding in academics + sport. The consistency of the team to give effective feedback & guidance so that she could understand "how" to be a good test taker was priceless and best of all she is bringing these skills test-taking skills into her AP class test-taking. Honestly parents....my daughter went from feeling anxiety with taking the ACT to a confident and smart test taker, BEYOND the ACT!!! The team at East Bay Prep is one-of-kind. Best value...best outcomes...thank you East Bay Prep!

My daughter joined the Elite Prep San Ramon counseling program during her sophomore year when she…read morefirst arrived in the States, and it was truly one of the best decisions we ever made. Our counselor, Mr. Yeh, has been there every step of the way. He assisted with managing her school GPA, providing English tutoring, TOEFL test preparation, college selection consulting, coaching for application essays, and interview prep. He constantly kept in touch with us to ensure everything was on track. Thanks to Mr. Yeh's dedicated support, my daughter received an admission offer to an excellent four-year university, rather than a community college as her school counselor had previously suggested. Elite Prep San Ramon is a fantastic place for college counseling, and I highly recommend their services.

I originally found Elite Prep San Ramon looking for SAT prep for my senior son -- but honestly, we…read moregot so much more than that. Helen Kim and Sam Rim really took the time to counsel us and pointed us in the right direction. They helped us see that focusing on AP courses was going to do more for my son than just chasing SAT scores. Their guidance gave my son the tools he needed to apply to UC schools, and now he's happily finishing out his senior year. You can just tell his confidence has grown so much through this whole process. He's excited and ready for college -- and that means everything as a parent. If you have a kid going through the college prep process, I can't recommend them enough!

They are professional, and they offer clear guidance on everything. You won't get confused. The team is caring and friendly. I usually get answers to my questions immediately. If they are busy, I get answer within the same day. Additionally, when I write an essay, I write a lot. It was difficult for me to squeeze things into limited word counts. BEEC not only helped me to stay on track but also provided alternative opinions to assist in tidying up my thoughts. They also have systematic practices that helped me in developing my ideas. I am pretty satisfied with my works. Thank you Jonathan and Jesse!

Enrolling our son in Intelos' tutoring and test prep classes has turned out to be one of the best…read moredecisions we've ever made for him. Our son has been a top straight A student all his student career until the 2nd semester in his Sophomore year. He received his first ever B+ in math. We have noticed his math grade has gradually slid down and offered to help him, but he strongly resented any type of help from us. He didn't want us to teach him or review his assignment. The resentfulness then led to countless intensive and bitter quarrels and anger on both sides. Fortunately, one of his friends recommended Lauren (the math teacher and co-founder of Intelos) to him when summer started. Just like the other 99% of the teenagers in the world, our son doesn't listen to his parents, but he listens to his friends. His friend told him Lauren was able to help her a lot in math previously. Thus, he was willing to give it a try with Lauren. He started weekly math tutoring with Lauren at the beginning of the summer. Later at the end of the summer we enrolled him in the two-week intensive ACT prep class to prepare him for September's ACT test. His math has improved tremendously just within these 2 months and he scored 35 out of 36 on September's ACT composite score. Lauren and Hugh (the other co-founder of Intelos and teacher for English/reading/writing) are not only very knowledgable but also experienced in how to work well with teenagers so that they listen, follow, and benefit from the instructions. Before Lauren and Hugh started Intelos, they were the former head teachers at the well known Elite Educational Institute. We are so happy that we didn't have to send our son to Fremont and he was able to receive all the help he needed locally in the Danville/San Ramon area. In addition, Lauren and Hugh are always very willing to work around the client's constrained schedule. My son has many activities and heavy work load from multiple AP and Honors courses. Once the school started, his available time became very limited. Lauren and Hugh were able to come up with a specially designed course plan and schedule for my son based on the restricted time he is available. We are very grateful for what they have done for our family to make all these possible and guide our son to develop his potentials.

When I was looking for SAT and ACT prep in this area, I searched the web and found that Intelos…read moreEducation had just opened this past summer. I stopped by to talk to Hugh and Lauren, who are founders, and I feel so comfortable sending both of my children there for ACT prep. Hugh and Lauren are very intelligent, caring, flexible, and interested in the subject matter. They are not only teaching my children; they're very personal and willing to spend extra time to coach and to help my children to achieve the goal. They also give lots of practice tests so students would well prepare for the real test. I trust that Intelos knows how to prepare students to do well. They have created a personal bond with my children, which I have never received from other prep centers, such as Elite. Hugh and Lauren really got to know my daughters and gave them the one-on-one time that they needed. Hugh and Lauren, you are outstanding! We're extremely pleased and grateful for your dedication. Thank you so very much for making a big difference in my children's education.
