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. We will definitely be using this place more for both of my kids advanced math classes in high school. Thank you Jason!

This is a review for Pace's mandarin immersion summer camp that my child attended for 3 weeks…read moreduring the summer of 2017. It was probably a bit much for any child to sit in a much smaller-than-expected classroom for a whole day for 3 weeks, but the educational themes sounded promising so we did it anyway. Unfortunately a few days into camp she came home telling us that there was a group of kids and their teacher who speak english in the same room including one child who would have fits and shout "bad words" all the time. When I brought this up to Jason, he told us that they take kids with special needs in additional to trying to run a mandarin immersion camp. While I think it's great that they were willing to take children with special needs, it's not particularly effective to put those 2 groups each with very distinct needs into a small, one-room space (the room looked to be about 450 sq ft max). Moreover, I was particularly frustrated when no action was taken to stop the obscenities (my child probably learned as much obscenities in english as she did chinese in those weeks). Each time Jason was informed that yet again, today was another day with foul language disrupting camp, his only response would be "I apologize for the foul language and have spoken with the teachers and parents about it. If the foul language does not stop, the camp will have to take appropriate needed steps as it violates our camp's code of conduct. We appreciate your patience and understanding as our camp tries to be inclusive." Perhaps we were too patient and understanding, as apparently no action was ever taken since the behavior continued throughout. This place was truly regrettable and I wish we could have taken our child out after that first week and spared her the obnoxious behavior she and the others were subjected to.

Ricky did an initial assessment to see where she was in her reading. Their program is all done through workbooks. Once she was placed she got workbooks to do at home and then once a week she goes into the Eye Level and continues the work on her workbooks there with her tutor. What I really appreciate is the great and easy communication with Ricky. If there is a change in our schedule or my kid gets sick all I do is contact Ricky to reschedule her session. He's ALWAYS so flexible and I really appreciate it!

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 .

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.

Fortunately, my son is quite bright--but he suffers from ADHD and lack of self confidence. Scott immediately bonded with him--he's pretty amazing in his talent for putting kids at ease and finding their strengths--and he set up a super effective study and skills-building test prep schedule for my son. Scott also gave him super smart inside knowledge on how to pace himself, with strategies for both answering multiple choice questions as well as managing testing time constraints. My son improved his scores by 50%!! And my son thinks of Scott as a true friend and mentor, as well--trusting his judgment and sage advice completely. Fast forward, my son is now applying for colleges and that lack of self-confidence has returned. On top of that, he's super stressed out and depressed about the whole process and his ability to get into the colleges he'd aspired to get into, even though his grades and test scores should admit him into some pretty good schools. Again, Scott to the rescue. He helped my son really think deeply and analyze what he wanted out of a college and his future. And Scott knows SOOOOO much about *all* the different colleges and their academic environments, teaching atmospheres, stress levels, and the kinds of students who might succeed there--he is able to give great advice about what might be the best fit for someone, based on their personality and abilities. Scott was able to get my son to step outside of himself and his insecurities, and come up with a plan for his future that he feels confident about pursuing--most of all, a college plan with options that my son truly believes will make him happy. We can't say enough wonderful things about Scott except that we feel blessed and lucky to have him in our lives. THANK YOU, SCOTT!!

The impact Scott had on my son went well beyond college essay preparation/production. Pre-Scott, my son could barely write a coherent sentence and through the magic of Scott's teaching methodology and in a relatively short timeframe, the improvement was dramatic. The counsel, candid discussions, and direction Scott provided paid huge dividends in the classroom and in daily written communication (emails, texts). My son became a more confident writer and student which of course, carried over to everyday life. As he heads-off to college in the fall (UCLA), I'm forever grateful to Scott for the life-changing role he played in preparing my son for the next chapter and beyond.
