I've known Bob for well over 20 years and sent my daughter to him for lessons on cello (yes, Bob…read moredoes that too) and piano. Bob instilled a love for playing that stuck, a practice routine that was self-directed, and an ever-ready student to attend her next lesson. His integrated teaching style helped her learn "music", not just the instruments that she plays. Fifteen years later and a daughter of her own now, she's still playing, Need I say more?

He also teaches how to practice effectively as well as efficiently & that to me is valuable. He's a performing musician in his own right, playing many styles of music on numerous instruments. He also has extensive knowledge about the science of learning music & the positive effects on the brain. Having Bob as your music teacher is something I'm sure you will enjoy.

They are the most down to earth people and are completely committed to their students. This is why their students return summer after summer. Its incredible to see the kids grow each season. The experience that the kids get in being a part of a band, having practices and then performing live sets at different venues is such a unique and one of a kind offering. I would recommend RBU to all davis parents. Trust me, you will love seeing the smile on their faces as they rock out to their favorite songs!!

He even agreed to sing lead on several songs the last session he attended. My son has taken guitar lessons for a couple of years but it was like pulling hair to get him to practice, until we put him in RBU. Mike the owner is great with the kids and places them with other students who are at their level. The culmination of the session is a performance which includes all of the bands with their parents and friends attending. You will be happily surprised to see your child's inner rocker shine through.

My daughter, who has been coming to Mathnasium for over a year now, is absolutely thriving! She is…read morean advanced student who is now more than year ahead of her peers. I appreciate that the Mathnasium approach allows each child to progress at their own pace, independent of any cohort. I am so thankful that it allows my child to fulfill her full math potential. When a new student arrives at the Mathnasium, the director will have them take an assessment. Based on that assessment, the student is given an individual program tailored to their needs. The center allows students to have their tutoring sessions at the center, at home through a video call combined with a special software, or both. I found that the tutors are attentive, knowledgeable, and available when students need assistance or need to have their answers checked. I find the math program itself superior to anything I experienced in school and other materials that I have seen. It teaches for understanding instead of memorization, so children can figure out solutions without necessarily being given a way to solve a problem. The materials show the same kind of a problem from different angles, so children learn to recognize the best approach to tackle it. Another strength of the Mathnasium is the ability to customize student's materials. Each set of problems on a particular subject is a in separate packet and depending on different factors those packets can be shuffled to achieve a certain goal. For example, the director looks to make sure that students don't have dense problems on one page after another. She dilutes some of the harder topics with lighter materials from the student's plan. If staff see that a student is stuck, there is always flexibility to make changes. Conversely, if it is clear that a student mastered a subject before completing the entire packet on that subject, staff allows the student to skip pages. The new owner, Shamiran, who took over the center in June of 2024 made numerous improvements that made our experience at the Mathnasium so much better. She ensures that children are progressing and are given extra individual attention where needed. She also keeps kids excited about completing their work through a great selection of prices in the prize cabinet. To end my review I will share this exchange with my daughter: Mom: Why do you like going to Mathnesium so much? Daughter: Pokemon Cards. (one of the available prizes) Mom: No, but why do you like spending time there? Daughter: Hard math.

When you close on random holidays, such as Mother's Day, please announce it earlier! I doubt we get our money's worth on an hourly/monthly basis because there are just days they are closed when our student can make it. And yet they won' let students stay past an hour or sometimes even 30 minutes, despite the limited hours they are actually open. Recently, I dropped my student off at 310 and the staff signed her in at "300." They then told her time was up at 30 mins was up at 330. WTF?
