I was completely turned off by her unprofessionalism, lack of eye contact, and the way she treats children. The front desk/office is the face of an establishment, the representation of what is the come. After talking with different parents I came to found out the following: * HIGH turnaround on teachers/staff. * The area is bad. * Homeless are constantly within feet of the school and the police don't always clear them out in the mornings. * Restrictions on taking your own child out of school during after hours!? * Over capacity of students. Most often times they need to eat lunch in their classrooms. *During the summer, the air conditioners don't always work, and the children are forced to eat outside with no shade. *Every year, at least 1 teacher leaves the school. Sometimes mid-year! Do yourself a huge favor and do your due diligence. Talk to other parents there and drive around during business hours and you can see it all for yourself.

Nicole was/is able to adjust her teaching methods to best suit my daughter's needs and abilities. Nicole not only dedicates her complete attention to her students, she also makes it her personal mission to make learning and homework fun. My daughter comes home eager to do her homework and actually likes make up stories to go with family projects. We have been utilizing this tutoring center for just over 3 years and I am comfortable enough to say it has been worth every penny!! Nicole was able to recognized my daughter had a learning disability within just a few sessions, but due to her age the school did not test my daughter. This school year my daughter was finally given an IEP which just confirms Nicole is amazing and my daughter is in the best of hands when it comes to her education. As for the tutoring center as a whole, the manager/tutor Mr. Kris is great! If at any time Nicole is running a little behind schedule he has willingly stepped in to begin my daughter's session so we are able to stick to our own schedule. The center is well staffed with tutors who are more then willing to answer any question a parent may have, as well as willing to schedule sessions according to the student/parents life not their own. I have recommended this center to many parents in my daughter's class and will continue to praise this center for their willingness and desire to help every student who struggles in school, especially Ms. Nicole and Mr. Kris!!!

Our Experience - Our…read moreson was in a classroom of 36 children--an environment that quickly proved overstimulating. At first, we worried there might be a developmental issue, but after evaluation by both an ENT and psychologist, it was clear the problem was environmental, not developmental. The noise and chaos made it difficult for him to adjust. While he initially had some behavioral challenges, he improved significantly over time. Unfortunately, the final incident that led to his removal was not handled appropriately. Our son bit a child out of frustration--at which point staff intervened. However, their response and follow-up reflected a lack of attention and bias; they implied our son was lying because the other child "never does anything." This made it clear they weren't observing closely and were making assumptions rather than investigating. A few weeks prior to this incident, we received a call from CPS--not because of our son's actions, but because the school failed to report an injury he sustained there, even though staff documented it internally. We took him to the hospital and discovered he had a fractured finger, requiring a cast from his hand to his bicep for three weeks. CPS confirmed the school's reporting failure as negligence and contacted us within 48 hours. That alone speaks volumes about the school's accountability and oversight. Lack of Follow-Through on Agreed Behavior Plan My wife and I are proactive, involved parents. She's a behavior analyst who designs behavior intervention plans for special education, so we know what works and came prepared to collaborate. We met with the administration--including the owner--and created a clear, simple behavior plan that everyone agreed to. Yet, it was never implemented. Staff routinely told us they were "too busy" or that "it's hard with so many kids." They even filled out behavior logs after the fact, undermining the purpose entirely. The agreed plan only required a brief hourly check-in with three questions and a sticker. That's not excessive--it's the bare minimum for consistent behavioral reinforcement. We were told repeatedly that they wanted to "partner with us" and that our son was "wonderful," but words don't equal action. The follow-through and professionalism simply weren't there. Concerns About the Learning Environment Frankly, this didn't feel like a true Montessori school. Instead of fostering independence and self-guided learning, children were often forced to complete the same tasks and play with the same toys. Structure is necessary, but Montessori principles are about exploration, curiosity, and individualized pacing. That freedom was absent here. When his first teacher left, staff told the children she was "on vacation." For weeks, our son was confused and asking about her. Instead of using it as a gentle teaching moment about change and transitions, they chose dishonesty, which sends the wrong message about trust and emotional resilience. What We Learned After Leaving Our son is now at a different Montessori school, and the contrast is astonishing. He wakes up excited for school, runs to get ready, and sometimes even asks to go on weekends. He's thriving--no behavior issues, no complaints, and a radiant enthusiasm for learning. His new environment offers freedom within structure, smaller class sizes, and genuine care. He chooses his own activities and feels empowered, not overwhelmed. Final Thoughts We entered this school with optimism and the desire to partner with educators who understood child development. Unfortunately, what we encountered was a disorganized, overcrowded, and inattentive environment. Staff seemed well-intentioned but overextended, and the administration overpromised and underdelivered. We appreciate the time and effort of individual teachers who cared, but the overall leadership failed to maintain communication, consistency, and honesty. The failure to execute a mutually agreed plan, combined with the lack of supervision and the serious reporting lapse that led to CPS involvement, left us with deep disappointment and concern for other families who might face similar issues. We hope this feedback encourages reflection and reform. Every child deserves a safe, attentive, and developmentally supportive environment--one that not only manages behavior but nurtures curiosity, confidence, and joy in learning.

My 17yo went from "c" to a B during the Junior year. His SAT was 1100 and improved to 1260 with their SAT Prep classes. What a relief. His confidence has improved and now we are looking at colleges. Cari and Mikayla are the best. Mikayla was so patient and encouraging during the many SAT Prep Classes. They are even guiding us how to do the FAFSA, FastWEb.com for scholarships, and how to write a college application Personal Statement, and that is TLC, which explains the ECT! My 16yo, a sophmore, already did her first SAT test = 1100. Great start. She needed help with math as well as essays. Mikayla's plan is methodical and follows a road map. Great relief for mom, here, who does not know how to nagivate all this college prep. Where are the High School Counselors you ask? "You need help writing essays? We don't do that here. Your teacher assumes you already know how to do that. How did you get this far and not know how to write an essay? There is nothing here for you. Go to a different school... I don't know.. . Go hire a private tutor. - we can't help you here." (yes, this was an actual conversation . Imagine my son's hopelessness and depression regarding school.) Really the best advice ever. So we did. That afternoon we walked across the street from MLK to TUTORING ETC. We were prepared for more "Sorry, you are too far gone, what is wrong with you, your grades can't be fixed" discussions. What a relief for us!!!! can't say enough good. The ETC is far beyond highschool tutoring. Money well spent. I expected 3 or 4 stars... THIS 5 STARS!! They will steer you and your kids in the right direction. They have a passion for their work and it shows. Thank you so much Cari & Mikayla!!!!!

However, they have terrible and archaic teaching modalities. I started to notice as my kids entered the third grade. Middle school was insane with tests and homework. Three or four teachers gave tests on the same day! It took parents to complain to change this. When the admin became a principal and it was their kid there, it changed for sure. Highschool is ran so poorly. One of my kids had to take 2 outside classes because teachers taught so poorly and they were not cheap. Many kids are so smart, they resort to teaching themselves. And then there is the nepotism. Oh the nepotism. Of course the staff children get all the privileges and their friends. All the rules apply to others but not the staff kids or their friends. The counselor, what counselor??!! When one of my kids went there, the counselor came in once a week. She was rude and told my kid "if you can't keep up, then maybe this isn't the place for you."
