Look no further....East Bay Prep is the absolutely the BEST ACT Prep Class!…read more The test prep course worked along with my daughter's heavy Junior/Senior year academic load, on top of their weekly test prep lessons. The team was excellent at listening, communicating and following the needs of my daughter "individually" to help her succeed. The tutoring was flexible to her competitive sport schedule, as this was also key to the demands of succeeding in academics + sport. The consistency of the team to give effective feedback & guidance so that she could understand "how" to be a good test taker was priceless and best of all she is bringing these skills test-taking skills into her AP class test-taking. Honestly parents....my daughter went from feeling anxiety with taking the ACT to a confident and smart test taker, BEYOND the ACT!!! The team at East Bay Prep is one-of-kind. Best value...best outcomes...thank you East Bay Prep!

The instructors are fine. The business model is not…read more After enrolling my child, I've experienced a pattern of issues that other parents deserve to know about before signing anything. 1. Every plan is tied to a fixed-term contract -- no month-to-month option exists. The cancellation fee can be as high as $199, and this applies not just to cancellations but to any plan adjustment. In my case, simply wanting to reduce from twice-weekly to once-weekly sessions triggered the same $199 fee 2. Policy is opaque and every question becomes an upsell. I could not get a straight answer about adjusting session frequency without the center director pivoting to a new plan recommendation. When I asked about reducing cadence, I was told my situation was "unique" and had never come up before -- which is almost laughable for a tutoring center of this size. After multiple calls and text exchanges, here is what I was eventually told: -- I could do once-per-week, but only for 3 months, after which I'd be required to return to twice-weekly or pay the cancellation fee. -- Alternatively, I could continue paying for twice-weekly and simply choose to come only once a week. Neither of these is a real solution. And critically, none of this is documented in the enrollment agreement, it only came out through repeated follow-up. The entire structure of contracts, fees, and plan inflexibility is designed to lock families in, not to act in students' best interests as the center director claimed. 3. The tutors are mostly high school and college students. For what Mathnasium charges, instruction is delivered by young tutors with no formal teaching credentials. At this price point, a private tutor would give your child more personalized attention, genuine flexibility, and no contract. Bottom line for parents: Read every section of the contract before signing. Ask specifically what it costs to cancel, reduce sessions, or pause. Ask whether any policies exist that aren't in writing. Get every answer in writing before you commit.

In-Home consultation: I spoke with one of their Educational Consultants to go over my current situation and my expectations from the tutoring sessions. She was understanding, patient and matched me with tutors who are not only academically capable, but also fun and interesting to deal with. I love all my tutors! Calculus 2 tutoring: It's the most advanced math courses that I have ever taken in my life. However, I had the best experience in this class. The tutor, Daniel, was smart, organized and made things much, much easier than they appear. We always started our session with very simple problems, and he added more complicated problems one at a time. From my experience with this tutor, I learned that math can be easy if you understand the problems from the foundation. I received A+ in this class. Thank you! Statistics: Stephen was a funny guy; he created lots of activities for me during our sessions. We used coins, dices and cards for probabilities calculation. I learned a lot faster with these activities, and believe it or not, after taking this course with the tutor, I feel more confident going to casinos in Vegas. Lol... I received A in this class. Thank you! World History: English is my second language, so I had a hard time reading through the textbook, not to mention I have to retain all the information for the sake of HW and exams. Ashley always came with a summary sheet which included all the bullet points that we were going to go over in the session. She eliminated all the unnecessary information from text book and simplified them in just a few sentences for me. After I understood the main "stories", that's when she dug into more details with me, such as vocabularies that might appear on the exam that I would need to understand. My English improved tremendously after taking this course. I received B+ in this class, and I am super, super happy about it. Thank you! It was great working with all these awesome tutors and I would recommend Club Z to anyone I know!

We is a young 1st grader, a middle child, and had been in a french school environment, so it was not a surprise for anyone.

We got into a routine and have been seeing her weekly for the past 6 months. My son LOVES Christine days!! And.. he is now beyond 1st grade reading level.

Her expertise, dedication and passion for writing has directly helped my elementary school child grow tremendously as a writer (w/ additional proof in standardized tests). She has provided resources, frameworks and scaffolding that have directly helped deepen the learning process on topics like personal narratives, summarizing and themes. Having a tutor who also acts as a thought partner on all things writing, has also been lovely. Finally, Sophia has also introduced my child to new genres of books and created special writing units related to school assignments, events and trips. These have all provided extensive new background knowledge which make learning very enriching. She truly goes above and beyond, as you can see from all the other rave reviews on yelp!
