I choose…read moreMathnaisum over other math classes as it offered a better solution to fill in some gaps my son had in some concepts and also provided me with a timeline of when that gap would be filled by. They also gave me a plan of when they would start introducing new concepts for him so he can get ahead. The staff is very friendly with the kids and the center is very inviting. Most importantly my son enjoys it there which is a win because it is hard to get kids to enjoy math.

Both of my kids have attended Mathnasium-Santa Clara and they've both had a great experience. When…read moremy oldest child was in 6th grade, he was struggling in math, so we decided to try out Mathnasium based on a neighbor's recommendation. It was a great investment in my child's education. He did so well that he was able to skip 2 grades and move from CC6 to Algebra 1 once he entered 7th grade. And best of all, he loves math again! The staff in Santa Clara is welcoming and genuinely cares about the kids. Thank you, Mathnasium!

Despite being Filipino, I never was taught Tagalog growing up. I recently was inspired to learn…read moreTagalog, and I was super pleased to learn there was a place nearby that teaches it! I wanted to better connect with the language associated with my heritage, so I decided to invest the time and money to learn Tagalog. I took the Level 1 hybrid course with Rhya in early summer 2026. Overall, it provided a great foundation for introductory grammar and vocab for Tagalog. By the end of the first course, you quickly become comfortable being able to ask simple questions (like where are you from? what's your name?), answering with affirmative/negation statements, and even being able to ask "how much/how many" with Tagalog numbers right off the bat. The class structure felt perfect, with the small class sizes. The course was very interactive, as we were constantly engaging and practicing the language throughout each course. And of course, it provided a safe space to make mistakes and grow with the language. If we made a mistake, Rhya would walk us through our mistake to help understand where it was and why the correct answer was provided. The class structure was also perfect for my work schedule. There were times I had to travel for work and miss a lecture. Because I was signed up for the hybrid course, I was provided class recordings after each session, allowing me to catch up and not feel left behind. The sessions are definitely catered to working adults, with all courses being offered in the evenings. Each session was 90 mins long each week for 7 weeks. I learned a lot from Level 1, and I'm excited to continue on to Level 2!

SJLC (San Jose Learning Center) has a great number of language classes - online, hybrid, or…read morein-class - and a variety of schedules, esp. for busy adults. The instructor that I had, Keiko is great. She is very patient and always willing to help. (The courses can be fast though depending the language and the books being used). The other people there are always very polite and helpful as well. The facility, while basic, is clean and conducive to learning. They seem to use a mix of media (e.g. slides, Quizlet, etc. which is good). FYI - it is near SJC - San Jose Int'l airport and the jets taking off can be somewhat loud at times.

We couldn't be happier with the results! Daron connected us with Jillian who worked with our son in…read moreHonors Biochemistry and helped him build both his understanding of the material and his confidence in the class. Thanks to Jillian's expertise and ability to explain complex concepts in a way that made sense, our son earned an A in the class! Daron is very easy to work with, flexible and rates for tutoring are very reasonable! I'm sure we'll be working together again in the near future as our son advances to physics and sports medicine courses.

I've tried the…read morewebsite, filled out multiple request for info forms, called and left voicemails, but still no call back. Either they are out of business or just plain busy to get calls. If the latter, not the type of place I would want to send my children as it is very important to get in touch with folks if you need support or help with your child. That's a huge red flag. Other places like Kumon, Mathnasium, Russian math, and Aops are very quick to pick up or promptly respond. Too bad, was looking forward to learning more about their program. Maybe others will have better luck.

My 4 year old son used to attend Kumon. It was all about repetition. He used to repeat words and…read morephrases all over for about 3 month, while I knew that he could do more. I was also not happy the class continued appx. 15 minutes. We attended an orientation in Best Brains center in this brand new location in Kiely Boulevard and decided to give it a try. In a month I understood that Kumon is not good for us anymore. My son has been attending Best Brains for a year now. He definitely mastered writing, he knows his uppercase and lowercase letters, can easily tell first letters of words and does some calculations. Every week they learn about new topics. The main thing is that he is never bored with tasks in the books. I noticed that in couple of month he doesn't even need my help to do his homework. He can figure out himself! Best Brains gives solid foundation that I truly believe will help him in the school.

In fact, when he first started school, he had issue with Reading, Writing, he was even in Math intervention at his school for a while. After school, the teachers at Pinnacle worked with him (often one-on-one) and now he caught up with all the subjects at his school, and more importantly, he's showing a lot of interest to learn things with good inner confident. There is nothing more we can ask for as parents! In addition to their included reading & writing, public speaking, mindful moments (kinda like Yoga) activities, etc, we also signed him up for Silicon Valley Chess club, RISU Critical Thinking, and RISU Math right at Pinnacle. We've been very happy and appreciate all the help and care from Pinnacle's staff of our child. Thanks!

Every time after meeting Janet, I feel he is not only more confident about writing but happier about who he is.

There are so many things I am navigating as a parent and I definitely want to focus on what's most important. I met Janet before our 504plan meeting and her insight as a parent and a former teacher really helps me to focus on what's most important. She also coaches my son to speak up for himself. It's always good when you have an experienced and understanding partner at your side practically and mentally.

She has taken the anxiety out of writing, teaching him that it doesn't need to be perfect, and helping him learn to organize and develop his thoughts on the page.

Those blockers that previously held him back aren't showing up at all now, and he has only ever seen his work with Janet as a fun part of his week. It never felt like "tutoring" at all.
