She started when she was in 4th grade and now she is a 5th grader. From the director of the center to the individual tutors, everybody is very professional and show concern for the educational advancement of my daughter. You meet with the director of education, Cindy, every month to look at the progress of your student. They are very flexible if you need to move your hours you just need to communicate with them. My daughter enjoys the reward system they have and absolutely loves the tutors, specially Pio, Mss Olivia, Miss Emily and Mss Norma. I have seen improvement in my daughter's reading and math already, and she is showing more confidence about school overall.

The markers of a successful business are growth and retention. The academy has neither. Don't let them lie to you & tell you they have a waiting list. As their school gets smaller their goal size for a classroom shrinks with it. All 4 of my kids left here very unsatisfied. My oldest was falsely accused of making threats with no evidence to back it up. My middle was bullied for a year and a half. It was brought to the leadership of the schools attention over & over, Ms Barb & Mr Rob took no action. At parent teacher conferences in October we had two teachers bring it up & say they were trying to work on it. We saw no results. We left mid year. My girls both left over a year behind & required 6mo of intense tutoring at Sylvan. They had been working 1-2 with Ms Barb as their tutor twice a week for an entire school year prior to us leaving. She claims to work well with dyslexic children, but she missed it in youngest completely. I brought it up more than once because I have dyslexia. We have since got a diagnosis & the help she needs elsewhere.

Barbara is patient, encouraging, and truly understands how to teach in a way that builds confidence and makes learning feel positive instead of overwhelming. Watching our daughter learn to read,and actually enjoy it, has been the biggest blessing. We are incredibly grateful for Barbara's dedication and expertise. I highly recommend her to any family looking for compassionate, effective tutoring support.

The daily practice and twice weekly sessions have helped him tremendously. Even beyond that, he enjoys the subjects. He loves all of the teachers/assistants he's worked with. His first teacher was Geli, and he was so devastated when she graduated and was no longer working there. He truly bonded with her and grew attached. Luckily, he then worked with Annanya who he now admires as well. Mr. Chen always updates me on his progress & is truly invested in each child's success. My son has come home with at least 4 certificates in the short time he has been here. I'm so thankful we found this program and stuck with it!

This business is actually located in Vallejo, CA....in a small unmarked office inside an insurance…read moreagency. As a client, services will vary depending which tutor the client is assigned. Tutors are not required to hold education degrees or licenses. As a tutor, you will want to seriously consider the contract and all its factors before signing up. The base pay is $15/hr as an independent contractor. That means you will be responsible for ALL taxes (between 20-30% of your pay depending on how much you make in the fiscal year). You will not be paid for time coordinating or preparing for tutoring sessions (this time is significant). And you will also have to regularly spend time communicating with Keys II Success (unpaid). In the end, you will barely make CA minimum wage, and despite what they may lead you to believe, you may end up with only one client (who wants to meet ~1 hour per week) for an entire semester. Bad business practices, undervalued tutors, and a lot of frustration....that's what Keys II Success is all about. I'm giving the service 3 stars, still, because as a client, you may or may not get good service.

Our children have attended Stetson Academy since 2021, and we truly cannot say enough good things…read moreabout this school. From day one, the teachers and staff have been supportive, communicative, and deeply invested in each child's success -- academically, socially, and emotionally. What really sets Stetson apart is the culture they've created. The school places a huge emphasis on empathy, kindness, inclusion, and confidence-building. They support students with varying abilities, and work hard to make sure every child feels seen and valued. My kids genuinely love going to school, which speaks volumes. We also love the parent communication and transparency. Their online portal is fantastic - we can log in anytime to see grades, test scores, behavior reports (both positive and negative), their academic goals, and exactly where they are performing relative to grade level. That kind of real-time insight is priceless as a parent. Stetson is also wonderful about keeping families connected to daily life on campus. They are very active on Facebook and frequently post photos and updates so parents can see the fun, creative, and hands-on learning happening in classrooms. The field trips are amazing, and the project-based, experiential approach really keeps students engaged and excited about learning. We're actually moving soon, and honestly, I don't know how my kids are going to adjust to another school after having such an exceptional experience here. Stetson has set the bar incredibly high for what we believe a great school should be. If you're considering Stetson Academy, I wholeheartedly recommend touring and talking with other parents. For our family, it has been nothing short of an outstanding community.

After the owner significantly reduced her involvement in the classroom, her husband -- who we understand does not have a formal teaching background -- assumed a much larger role in teaching and school operations. During this period, our child frequently returns home emotionally exhausted. The school's highly structured disciplinary approach often addresses age-appropriate childhood behaviors as formal discipline, which we believe negatively impacts our child's self-esteem and emotional wellbeing. Our child regularly expresses reluctance to attend school, including episodes of crying and pleading not to go. We were also disappointed that we were not able to communicate directly with our child's teacher; all correspondence was directed through the owner's husband. In hindsight, we wish we had given greater weight to the significant number of families and teachers who left the school. These are our family's own experiences and observations. Our family will not be returning next year. Prospective families should conduct thorough due diligence, including speaking with current and former parents, and we strongly recommend having a qualified attorney review the contract before signing.
