Insight has a lot of experience on this front, and also a lot of "insight" into what colleges look for. In short, Purvi has been able to guide us through the nuances of the application process. Additionally, she gave us some great advice around summer programs - we would have never found the ones that she suggested. We also had a great tutor for ACT from Insight, who was able to give my daughter some great tips. She ultimately got into her top-choice school. We are very happy with Insight, and have recommended them to many friends!

Hi Ajit, Any chance I can get my $200 back for an initial consultation that was absolute nonsense?…read moreI have kindly asked for my money back multiple times. I want you to known that telling my kid who is STEM focused taking 10+ APs to consider taking a ceramics course doesn't cut it for a $200 initial consultation. JUST GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. Just letting you know that your responses on your reviews of people who complain about your service is underwhelming. Improve your service and you will do much better. Ajit, I will continue to complain about the service I received to every Indian parent that I know in the Bay Area. If you think otherwise, you don't know me well... Based on your "Stanford MBA" education, you may certainly know that word travels fast in the Bay Area. A simple suggestion to all who read this (including you Ajit) - Do NOT pay $200 for an initial consultation. Simply request a free initial consultation so that you are aware of the all of the program details, the costs, and the proficiency level of the counselor. If they can't give you a free consultation, move on and find another program. Believe me, there are plenty of programs that give you all the information that you need without paying fees to find out. They should be selling you on the program and not the other way around. 8/18/25 - Ajit, I read your response. Your answer is false. My wife, my son, and I all attended the meeting with your "counselor." It was you who was missing in that meeting. So don't make up stuff. The fact remains that I have not received my $200 back....

We transferred to this Kumon center about three years ago after a difficult experience at another…read morelocation that was much closer to our home. While the previous center focused on pushing progress quickly, our kids were very stressed, often cried during homework, and their fundamentals were not solid despite being far ahead in level. Working with Ms. Edith has been a completely different experience. She emphasizes building strong fundamentals instead of rushing, and it has made a huge difference. Our children are still one to two years ahead of their school grade, but now they are more confident, less stressed, and no longer dread doing Kumon. Even though this center is a 20-30 minute drive for us, it is absolutely worth it because of Ms. Edith's thoughtful and caring approach. We are very grateful for her dedication and highly recommend this center to families who value a strong foundation and a healthy learning experience.

My son is 12. He started Kumon at age 7 in first grade at the Los Gatos center. He had a…read morewonderful teacher, Vivian L., who never failed to inspire him. Vivian sold the center and a new owner took over. We stopped for a break while he was at mid-F, two years above his grade level, according to Kumon. The reason we stopped was because my husband (an engineer himself), was sympathetic that the problems were needlessly brain-twisting with no practical application. We decided to give it a try a year later, hoping that with maturity he would have more patience to deal with the problems. He was doing well and actually was able to get through level F quite easily. But then he hit a snag and we noticed that the teacher was not working with him, just giving him the same lessons over and over, which was frustrating for him. I understand that Kumon is about children discovering on their own, and making their own connections, but making them suffer through failure without a little help does nothing but make the kids hate math. We thought this was the teacher's failure, so we took him out of the Los Gatos center and transferred him to the Saratoga Center. The owner, Edith Wu, convinced me that her center was different. She said that they had award-winning assistants from Saratoga HS who would help our son if he was ever stuck on a particular concept. He was at the Saratoga Center for three months, during which time that never happened, and he was never advanced. He was assigned the same lessons over and over and over. One particular lesson was given to him seven times, a point which Mrs. Wu vehemently denied, even though I had proof in the form of dates and scores. It got to the point where my son had memorized the answers on that particular set, and he didn't even have to do the problems. There was no reason for the mindless repetition because by the third time he was getting very few or no errors, completing them at an average of 2 minutes per 2-sided page. I hate to think that my son has been 'turned off' to math for life, but at this point when anyone asks him about his subjects, he always says that math is his least favorite. When he was working with Vivian, it was his MOST favorite. Currently he has all A's, but a B in math. Teacher or method ... you be the judge. I think Kumon is good for kids in early grades but I don't think it has much to offer past fifth grade. It isn't even synched with school standards. When we moved our son from a private school (Stratford) to public school in mid 4th grade, neither Stratford nor Kumon prepared him for public school math. He had to learn new terminology and concepts, which aren't even addressed by Kumon. One problem I found with Mrs. Wu is that she refuses to use email, and indeed I don't think she uses it at all, although she has an address. I have sent emails and she claimed not to get them. She told me that she and "everyone else" prefers to talk on the phone, but I found it difficult to communicate with her by phone. My phone conversations with her ended up with me hanging up the phone because she refused to stop talking when I told her I had to leave and had nothing more to say.

This being said, BCP's specialty is its one-to-one option, but the group class is also an effective alternative. All the teachers here cover a broad range of high school subjects both normal and AP and are highly qualified in their respective areas. I can testify that these classes, especially the one-to-one, have allowed me to maintain a steady GPA throughout high school and pass the ACT with flying colors. On a side note, unlike many other learning centers, some teachers here are bilingual and capable of offering the same services in Korean. This is a huge advantage for parents and students who wouldn't be able to receive the full benefit of a teacher and the classes in other learning centers. So are these classes worth the cost? Every penny. Not many places will teach each student as an individual, and to some like me, that is critical to identifying weaknesses and improving them for success.

I had searched learning centers for many years because my son is Autism and learning difficulties…read moreand it was so hard to find the right person to teach. I came this tutoring center October 2016 and he was Juniors at that time. His SAT score was below 1150 when he finished summer camp in a different center in Cupertino. Every parents knows this score means terrible and he didn't learn anything from the SAT camp. After then, I switched BCP Academy and he tried to study winter SAT camp in 2016 for 2 weeks then he got 1,400 after that. He received SAT subject Math level 2 100% and 9 essay score out of 10. He prepared 4 APs and got 4 or 5. He is doing ACT summer camp now and he received 36 Math and 32 Science before the summer camp. I wish he could do better and take every chance to improve his ACT score because he is goung to submit college applications soon. My first dream is just catching up his missed school work and go to the regular college but my family is dreaming to send him one of ideal top universities now. BCP acdemy is the only unique individualized tutoring center in the Bay area and the Math teacher can analyze all different level students perfectly and know how to improve and change them. Also, I want to add English teach's great job, because he helped my son to get 10 (97%) essay score. I am so appreciate all teachers efforts!!!
