Every staff person was knowledgeable, professional, kind, supportive and communicative. The instruction provided to the kids was easy to understand, and instructors were patient and calm. They provided free scripts for future use. The facility was clean, organized and safe. They concluded each day with an email update with photos and a description of the days events and lessons. My son loved making new friends, learning how to code and script and was sad when the week came to an end. The last day of the event included a showcase where each student presented the games they made. We intend to sign up for additional coaching sessions. I highly recommend!

My daughter attended theCoderSchool in Folsom, California, for about two years (when my daughter…read morewas 12-13 years old). The experience was fantastic. My daughter learned rudimentary principles of Python, Java, and HTML. The school used exceptionally gifted high school students as instructors (teachers), which was great because my daughter could relate well to such instructors (as they were similar in age to my daughter). Further, the instructors acted as role models for my daughter, which was a huge benefit separate from the excellent instruction. The owner has a "can-do" personality and, furthermore, was very accommodating in relation to billing and scheduling make-up classes. What more could you want?

Adj: Amazing!…read more Natomas Homeschool Alliance (NHA) is a wonderful cooperative for homeschooling families founded and run by Ms. Tiffany Millen, a homeschool parent herself whose homeschooled children have graduated and gone on to be very successful young adults in several career fields. My students have been attending for quite some time and they've learned so much from their classes. Not only so, they've grown as independent critical thinkers from interactions with caring teachers that are not only imparting information, but also fostering inquisitive thinking, collaborative teamwork, and deep discussions in their classes. My students truly enjoy their time here weekly and have expanded their horizons of knowledge and understanding. There is such a wide variety of classes to select from that meet the needs and curiosity of most students. From Engaging English to Lego STEM to history survey to coding to science labs and math foundations classes, and even PE classes, the choices are almost endless. There are also private music lessons as well as theatre and choir classes that put on impressively professional productions. In short, NHA is an amazing place where students are nurtured in every way in a caring and supportive community of learners, teachers, and families!

California Learning Center is an excellent resource for children of all ages. Run by an outstanding teacher. If you believe your child could use extra help OR your child could use a challenge, CLC is the best option. All teachers are certified, licensed educators in the state of California who are dedicated and hope to see your child thrive. As a long time student of CLC, I know I am the student I am today, receiving my Doctorate in Physical Therapy because of the skills and knowledge I received from California Learning Center.

Mr. Gideon and Ms. Anna have been working with my son and they have been great at keeping him focused and on task. What I appreciate is how organized and communicative they are. I love how the sessions are always productive, and they genuinely seem to care about the student's confidence as well as the progress. I especially liked that they use many scientific methods, techniques and equipment during my son's sessions to help him enunciate certain words and letters when reading. It made the learning process more engaging and effective. I also liked that they worked with my son on spelling and handwriting! Mr. Gideon and Ms. Anna were both very patient, professional and genuinely invested in helping my son improve. My son's most recent iReady score was above grade level. I highly recommend them if you're looking for knowledgable instructors who go the extra mile with proven approaches!

I can't speak highly enough about Carol and her amazing staff, to say nothing of the sweet relief of finally seeing progress with my son. Carol and Parys work tirelessly to help us, and make sure I know everything I need to get him the help he needs. Sending him to Keeping Pace was like opening a door that had been closed for ages, and when the light and fresh air comes in, it is just the best feeling! I had been struggling with my son for quite some time, and he has always worked very hard. In recent years, schoolwork became so frustrating for him that there would be tearful battles on a near daily basis. He still works hard, and he still gets frustrated. But the tears have all but gone, and he has renewed confidence in his ability to work through his challenges. I am SO GLAD I found this place. It has been the best thing for our family!

Excellent school for my daughter with dyslexia. She attended Read from summer school before ninth…read moregrade through tenth grade. They helped her get up to grade level in reading comprehension, writing and build her confidence back as a student. She was then able to make a smooth transition into a public charter high school. The small class sizes, supportive teachers and staff and teaching style and programs specifically designed for learning disabilities was a game changer for her. My daughter is now a full time college student and I have no doubt, her time at Read was a significant part of making that possible. I highly recommend Read Academy!

After years of advocating for my son and searching for a school that could meet his unique learning…read moreneeds, we had high hopes for READ. My son made meaningful progress in reading, and I am grateful for the school's evidence-based dyslexia instruction. However, our experience also revealed important limitations for students with co-occurring autism, ADHD, and executive functioning challenges. As both a parent and an LCSW specializing in autism, I approached READ as a partner. I expected early collaboration around my son's strengths, challenges, and the strategies that had helped him succeed elsewhere. Before significant behavioral concerns emerged, I requested simple accommodations such as movement breaks and fidget tools but was told they would be disruptive to other students. To my knowledge, my son never had a proactive support plan. My experience was that my son's behaviors were addressed primarily through discipline rather than understanding their function or teaching replacement skills. As behavior logs became increasingly detailed, it became harder to distinguish meaningful concerns from age-appropriate immaturity or autism-related social differences. It was difficult to watch my son become increasingly discouraged, isolated, and unsure of how to be successful at school. Despite repeated efforts to collaborate, I saw little emphasis on proactive intervention, positive reinforcement, or identifying the function of behavior. My concern was never that READ had limits to the support it could provide, but that those limits did not become clear until the end of our experience. During our final meeting, READ told me they could no longer support my son unless he first attended a behavior program. That recommendation differed from those of the public school district and the professionals involved in his care. I was also told READ does not have a behaviorist, therapist, or behavioral specialist on staff. The end of our time at READ was especially disappointing. The focus was almost entirely on my son's challenges, with little acknowledgment of his strengths or growth. He was also excluded from the school's end-of-year BBQ as his placement ended. For autistic children, thoughtful transitions matter, and I wish his departure had reflected that he was a valued member of the community. READ can be an excellent fit for many students with dyslexia. I share my experience so families of children with additional developmental or behavioral needs can ask informed questions before enrolling, including: * How are autism- and ADHD-related needs supported? * What proactive accommodations and interventions are available? * What behavioral or mental health expertise is available on campus? * At what point does the school determine that a student's needs exceed the supports it can provide?

Math has always been his favorite subject, so I wanted to find something that would challenge him and nurture that passion. From the first visit, he loved it. He actually love the center more than his math class at school. The atmosphere is welcoming and positive, and the tutors are incredibly patient and kind. They know how to make learning fun while still keeping it structured and challenging. That balance is so important at this age. What I really appreciate is how they start with a placement test and create a customized learning plan. It's not random worksheets; it's intentional. They truly map out how to strengthen foundations and build confidence step by step. We signed up for two sessions a week, but they gave us extra 1 sessions (optional to join) but my son asked to go three times because he enjoys it that much. To me, that says everything. If your child loves math or even struggles with it, I highly recommend checking them out. Strong math foundations early on can make a huge difference later, and I believe this is an investment that's absolutely worth it. They help kids from K-12. So grateful we found a place that makes learning exciting instead of just screen time. Anh Thu Nguyen Kevin Nguyễn, the owners are incredibly kind, supportive, and genuinely care about each child's growth. thanks.
