Our son has been taking lessons with him for the past few months, and it has been a wonderful experience. Dr. Sarkis has years of professional performing and teaching experience. He is patient, knowledgeable, and pays close attention to every detail. He quickly recognized what our son needed to improve and always gives clear, practical advice that is easy to follow. After just a few months of lessons, we've already seen noticeable progress in our son's technique, tone, and musical confidence. He enjoys every lesson and is more motivated to practice than ever before. We also appreciate how much Dr. Sarkis cares about his students. Every lesson is focused and productive, and he always takes the time to answer our questions and explain what our son should work on at home. We highly recommend here to anyone looking for a professional, caring, and dedicated violin teacher.

After searching the internet I stumbled upon Claremont Tutors, aka, Helpleadus.org. I looked at their website which clearly outlines their business with pricing, which I appreciated. No secret outrageous pricing or contacts. I emailed them and Alicia called me immediately to ask a few question about my daughter so she could place her with a tutor that would be a good fit. I've never had a tutoring business try to find a compatible tutor! Alicia was extremely professional and easy to get a hold of. She contacted me very soon after and found a wonderful college student from the Claremont colleges to work with my daughter. Pricing is extremely reasonable and our tutor who is a college student is such a fantastic instructor! My daughter has struggled in math for a long time and this tutor doesn't just tell her what needs to be done, she gets her thinking and asks her questions that lead her to figuring out the solutions on her own. We are so pleased with her and with Claremont Tutors. They accept credit cards as well. They keep your card on file, send/email you an invoice at the END of the month after all your sessions are done, then you are given a week to review it before billing your card. Our tutor comes to our house, but they are also willing to meet you at the library. She is always prompt and has stayed longer a couple of times when she could to finish up assignments. They don't have a physical dedicated facility which I wasn't looking for, personally. I just wish I had known about them sooner!

The difference she has made has been incredible. Before working with her, he struggled with Math homework and felt anxious when faced with learning challenges. With Ms. Amahni's patience, encouragement, and ability to explain concepts in a way he could understand, he developed much greater confidence in his abilities. Not only did his math grades improve, but he also earned the Principal's Award and a Certificate for Math Achievement this year--something we are very proud of. Even though my son still isn't a fan of homework (what kid is right?! Lol), Ms. Amahni made learning feel less overwhelming for him. I highly recommend Ms. Amahni to parents looking for a tutor who can help their child build both academic skills and self-confidence. She is patient, dependable, and very easy to communicate with. She consistently kept us informed of his progress and truly cared about his success. What more could you ask for besides snacks/treats at the ready? Oh, she has that too!

I've heard that LVPPP was indeed a very different school back then! Totally different leadership and teachers.*** First off, a little background on me- I have a degree in childhood development and early education, but first and foremost, I am a parent. And I want to be as involved and connected with my child's life as much as possible. I also fully understand that every child and every family's needs are different. So for us, LVPPP was an ideal fit and we are so happy with our decision to send our daughter there. This preschool fulfills all my wants and prayers for my child's first school experiences outside of our home. Some main highlights: 1. Teachers who are loving, nurturing and care about every single child's life and sees them as whole individuals and unique. My daughter absolutely LOVES her teacher and that's saying a lot for a child who is extremely attached to her mother and has separation anxiety. LVPPP teachers help prepare children and their parents for the transition being "away" from their families for a few hours at a time. They are so patient, so empathetic and really take the time to honor each child's feelings and individuality while modeling cooperation, co-regulation and communication. It is a very warm and home-like environment. 2. Community of caregivers, parents, families who all are working together for the school and the children. LVPPP is a co-op school and is part of the California Council of Parent Participation Nursery Schools, which is a network of organized co-ops focused on the principle that the best education will result from an active partnership among parents, teachers, and children. Being a volunteer in my child's classroom 2-3 times a month really has allowed me to get to know the people who actually see my child- I know the teachers very well and also know every single parent and child closely, much like extended family. We have playdates and help watch each others children outside of school as a result, and this has been invaluable benefit being part of this school- where lifelong relationships are fostered. 3. Child-directed, PLAY and inquiry based learning philosophy. PLAY is the work of the child. LVPPP is Reggio Emilia inspired and we love that. It follows my child's natural curiosity and focused on the process versus end product in learning and development. LVPPP's director is extremely knowledgeable and passionate in this area and empowers both students and families to be active agents in their environment. The environment is set up to invite play and exploration. Children engage in messy play, engage all their senses, challenge their fine and gross motor skills, and really tinker and experiment in open-ended play. There's also a big emphasis on social emotional development and regulation. The campus itself is beautiful and every detail has been well thought out to provoke exploration, discussion and creativity. 4. It's a non-profit that's trying to serve the community, providing high quality early childhood education to families in the area. It strives to be very accessible, diverse, inclusive and welcoming to all. All backgrounds are celebrated and family structures. I appreciate the fact that the tuition is quite reasonable and allows families from various levels of means still be able to access a preschool with the bells and whistles you may find at higher end preschools, but it's due to the joint effort of hard work that the families and teachers have contributed from their own time, effort and dedication to make the school what it is. 5. Health and safety is taken seriously especially during this COVID era. The director and leadership stay atop local health authority recommendations and goes above based on the input of the families and what they're comfortable with. We have been very happy with the pragmatic approach that LVPPP takes in trying to ensure the students stay healthy but also understanding that nothing is perfectly avoidable.

She has taken the regular weekly classes as well as summer camps and workshops, and she absolutely loves coming here. She is always excited to go to class and comes out happy every time. One thing I especially appreciate is how much she understands about what she is learning. I personally don't know much about art, but she can tell me what she is working on, what techniques she is learning, and what she is trying to accomplish. The teachers are also incredibly patient, attentive, and wonderful with children. Our daughter is naturally shy and takes some time to warm up to new people. We tried a free trial class, and she immediately loved it and asked me if she could keep taking classes! We are so happy we found Drawn2Art and would highly recommend it to other families. We are very grateful to all the teachers for creating such a positive and encouraging environment for kids to learn and enjoy art.
