Stay away from Salem Tutoring Center!…read more The facility is understaffed, extremely unprofessional, disorganized, and often do not answer phone calls for an entire week. They don't apologize or even acknowledge this, and are both quite curt and rude. The office is very shabby and run down, like a free clinic, and every corner is bursting with clutter and chaos. It is not a calming environment for children to focus, it is a scattered, bustling, tense flurry, run by two people who have no interpersonal skills whatsoever. It's almost as if the Salem Tutoring Center could have been a used car lot three months ago. Things are placed randomly, there is no ambiance, and there isn't one quiet area that would be conducive to learning. The person who administers tests is known to forget or lose entire portions, only realizing it days later, which delays the entire process, and you cannot get a phone call returned no matter how urgent. It does not seem like this is the business these people wanted to be in, but just fell into it. The tutoring I observed was lukewarm, and the child(ren) were talked at, and never responded as though they had learned. They just left when their time was over. I would have nothing to do with the Salem Tutoring Center for any reason. I urge parents to explore tutoring through local high schools, Chemeketa Community College, or private high school students. If you set foot inside, you would see exactly what I've referenced.

The staff their turned extremely negative and were attempting to guilt me into keeping my child enrolled. It was blatantly a ploy to continue a revenue stream. I was disgusted by how unprofessional they were willing to act for money. I was, and am currently, disgusted by them.

I would definitely recommend this business. The experience we have received fosters a family…read morecommunity feeling. We aren't just treated as clients or income. Kim and her staff take a vested interest in our child and truly support him. The owner, Kim, is very involved and absolutely supports our child. She took time out of her busy schedule to drive to our community outside Salem and advocate for our son at his IEP meeting. I'm very impressed with the services we have received. Our child ID progressing slower than normal. It isn't for a lack of effort and support. If you are a struggling parent you you believe your kid isn't receiving the education they deserve from public schools. Please know this is a valuable resource. I attribute the majority of his recent success to this program. It isn't a fast process, but it's a reasonable option over watching your child drown in a stagnant education system.
