I promised myself I have to leave a review for this Prep School. I have so much to say. My son, who…read moreis now in his sophomore year, going junior next year, has been looking for a SAT review school. Since I am that kind of parent, who gets involved with my son's school activities, I did the research. I called all the Sat review schools at Flushing, read all their feedbacks, and I made careful choices which one to choose. I have been choosing between ClarityEd and another 2 schools nearby our house. Since, ClarityEd is not as near to our house and he still needs to take bus, I really prefer the other school which is few blocks away from our house.
Then, I called ClarityEd, and made a schedule to meet the teacher. My son and I went on 7/2, Saturday, and classes starts 7/11/2016. I spoke to the teacher and, Oh my. I was so impressed the first day I met him. Just by talking to him I already knew, this is the one that I am looking for my son. He showed us all the outlines of what he is planning to teach to the children. Then, he showed us in the computer an example of the book that they would be reading, including the underlined word and how you can get an idea the meaning of that word by reading the sentence. I was so impressed that I don't want him to know that this is the school I am looking for. By the way, the teacher also has a Doctorate degree. But, I did not pay that day, because the other school is, too be honest, is less expensive by $200, than ClarityEd, and much nearer. I told them, my son & I will make our decision by next Saturday. Then, I called the other 2 schools and just by talking to them over the phone, I don't feel that their background education makes any sense to me, and upon hearing what they told me that they treat students like friends and they make barbecues, and outing... I told myself, that might be more fun to students. but not much of learning. When I asked what schools the children went to after taking the reviews, he told me, he does not keep record of them, etc. To make it short, we chose ClarityEd, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Just for the 1st day of school, my son already told me, how he likes his teacher, and how he explains everything well. My son even told me, that he asked his teacher why some of the things he is teaching.. he never learned at school, and his teacher laughed and told him the reasons. I really like the feedback I heard from my son. So far, this is his 3rd week, and he told me that he is really learning a lot, and he said his teacher, can be very serious but sometimes, he gives some jokes too. The most important, my son is learning, unlike the other Prep school, wherein I read reviews that children are not learning, rather, just seating and getting a lot of home works. By the way, my son brings a lot of homeworks too, but, he is learning and understanding a lot, from his teacher, that is the most important to me. So far, I cannot share the SAT score yet, as he has not taken the test yet.
Worth every penny I paid for..
I fully recommend this School to those who are looking for a good one, and those whose ultimate goal is to learn and be able to have self confidence to take the test.
