Michael helped my son to not only get through that course, but also to be prepared for calculus this year, where he is succeeding remarkably. Additionally, Michael offered general advice and specific practice techniques for the SAT, and he shared his expertise on essay writing, both for the exam and for college applications. Michael has been very flexible and understanding in addressing our questions and concerns, and is both professional and friendly to work with. While he charges more than some private home tutors you might find on Craigslist, he is a full-time professional tutor who charges comparably to, or less than tutoring centers. We definitely value the added convenience of having him come straight to our home at times that meet our schedule. We have enjoyed working with Michael and look forward to working with him again as our son prepares for college next year, and can strongly recommend him for any parents concerned about their child's progress in math, science, or preparing for college.

My heart is so full as I write this review for Michael. I first found Michael in 2016 to help with…read moremy son who was student Willow Glen HS and was struggling with Calculus and I wanted him to stay an A student. It went so well, I hired Michel to tutor my daughter who was on an IEP (auditory process disorder and speech delay) and struggles with any new task. I never told Michael she was disabled because I did not want a different style than he provided my son. I was worried for my daughter at first because I saw nothing in his review about how he worked with kids with special needs and my daughter was so behind in math. He started tutoring her well over three year ago and we saw such an amazing transformation in her math work and grades in just 3 months. My daughter was quiet and somewhat stubborn and yet he had the patience to work with her 2-3 times a week (1-2 hours a day). Maya just graduated from Willow Glen she will attend University of CA Dominican this fall, and her math placement test work placed her in highest entry for freshman math. We feel very lucky and blessed to have had Michael on our side. Thank you, Michael, for all you have done for my family!! You are doing the right work, you rock we couldn't have done this without you.

My son who is a 5th grader started attending Mathnasium about 6-7 months ago and we have seen…read moretremendous improvement. What we really love is the format. The learning plan is tailored to the individual needs of your child. My son happened to learn without any pressure in this kind of setup. He went from mid-5th grade level to nearly finishing the 7th grade level now in about 7 months time. In a previous year, we had tried a different Math school that is more of a classroom kind of setup with 2 hrs of instruction. It did not work for him and we had to withdraw him from the program. While that was definitely a great place in terms of the curriculum and teachers, the classroom format just didn't work for my child. Big shout out to the center director Miguel. Really appreciate the flexibility with scheduling. There have been times when we had to cancel last minute OR even ask if there was a slot available the same evening. They have been very accommodative with our requests. Mathnasium team recently had a multi-center math competition. That was a fun exercise and I think more than anything, it was a fun event where kids could learn and enjoy Math.

Great student to instructor ratio, so your child will be helped immediately with instant feedback. Can't wait to see what my student and Mathnasium can achieve at the end of the school year!

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the time and dedication Ms. Kelly put in to making this class a truly enriching and memorable experience.

Before they met, Henry asked my daughter to make a list of topics that she wanted to review from the fall semester. During their first meeting, Henry reviewed the topics that my daughter needed more help in and explained to her his plan. Afterwards, Henry spoke with me about his approach to review the topics from the fall semester and build upon them to learn new concepts for the spring semester. Henry is efficient and flexible in recognizing what my daughter needs help in. She says that he uses real life instances to illustrate a concept such as equilibrium to make it relatable. Henry has a lot of experience in tutoring the AP STEM courses.

My son has recently started online math tutoring with Christine and we have found it very helpful…read more Christine offers direct and online tutoring. Though hesitant at first I have found online tutoring convenient since the student does it from home and the timing of 9 pm suits my teenager because it is after all school activities and homework is done. (She also offers online tutoring before 3 pm) The software used meets the needs, Christine comes prepared for each lesson and does a good job of assessing student needs. We send review sheets, homework and graded work as pictures to her before the lesson so this doesn't cut into tutoring time. My son is already getting more confident and his grades are starting to go up. I highly recommend Christine Wang as a math tutor.

When I spoke to my kids they said that they don't really work with them in class. What is the point of tutoring? My daughter was not doing well in school plus she has learning disabilities that Biren said they can work with. She still did not improve in her school work. I took them out of Kumon because he called me explaining my daughter has not been turning in all her work for the past 3 weeks or so. When I found this out I looked into where she could be hiding the work and found a lot of work that seemed like more than a few week. And if so, they have a team that works with the kids and are suppose to be checking the work. How did No one catch this??? I than emailed Biren that he should refund me for services paid for and not received. He came up with a stupid excuse that I didn't give them 30 days before taking the kids out of Kumon so they will waive the 30 day notice. No one ever mentioned this before. He was just trying to get out of a refund. Don't waste your money here! ZERO RATING!!!
