Within just a few weeks, I noticed a significant improvement in his reading, writing, and comprehension skills. He also looks forward to his Coding class every week, and I can already see how it's strengthening his logical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

They provide regular feedback through the diary, which helps us understand his achievements and the areas where he can continue to grow. I'm definitely happy sending my kid here.

This is our second child that will be attending college, however, this journey was much different…read morethan with our first child. Maggie and Academic Pathways Consulting was pivotal in navigating our student's college future by providing professional, yet personal guidance and encouragement every step of the way. She was there from start to finish; strategically charting the course to improve graduating GPA, assisting with test prep options, adding guidance in submitting applications and essays, managing deadlines, and obtaining letters of recommendation. She has an innate ability to connect and communicate with young adults on "their level", while balancing and (as needed at times) mediating the relationship between parent and student. Best of all, Mom and Dad were able "hand over the keys to Maggie" and allow our student to independently take charge of their future; while still having peace of mind knowing a trusted and knowledgeable guide was there to keep things on track. Thank You, Maggie, we appreciate your dedication and expertise, and we really couldn't have done this without you!

We are incredibly grateful for the care and education our daughter received from Claudia…read more One of the biggest improvements we saw was in her English. When she first started, she faced a language barrier, but with Claudia's patience, encouragement, and support, she gained confidence and made remarkable progress. She also learned advanced math concepts that gave her a strong foundation and boosted her confidence when she entered school. Claudia is a very caring, patient, and dedicated caregiver. Not only is she wonderful with children, but she is also excellent at communicating with parents. Claudia always kept us informed, and we felt completely comfortable in her care every day. Another thing we appreciated was the variety of activities Claudia organized. I can see her students were always engaged, happy, and excited to participate. The daycare also created a wonderful sense of community--we made lasting friendships with other parents, which has been an amazing bonus for our family. We highly recommend Claudia to any family looking for a nurturing, educational, and supportive daycare environment.

With hundreds…read moreof difference colleges and universities around the country, Mary Pat helped me narrow down my college choices. Starting in my junior year she sat down and really got to know the real me, beyond the resume and beyond the GPA. We worked together to figure out what I wanted to study and where I could best achieve that. We narrowed my list down to 7 different school around the country. We worked together to cultivate my story and really make it stand out. She took the time to go beyond just correcting grammar, she knew where to dig deeper and how to highlight my best parts. Not to mention she's fantastic at getting essays down to the word limit. In the end, I was accepted to 6 out of the 7 schools. One of my teachers even congratulated me and said "Out of all of the seniors college lists you, by far, have one of the best lists in terms of good fit schools!". I learned so much from Mary Pat, and to this day remember the lessons she taught me as she helped me during my college selection process.

Mary Pat was able to take the overwhelming task of packing your entire life into a personal statement and make it simple and manageable. Further, working with her was an absolute pleasure. She was kind, friendly, and extremely skilled at breaking down the task into smaller parts and then helping me tackle them one at a time. In the end with her help, I was excepted into one of my top medical schools and for that I am so thankful. I would recommend her services for any applicant. Whether you are just starting out on the personal statement process or looking to add a few finishing touches, Mary Pat can help you get it done.

I can tell from the highly intelligent debates that occur around our dinner table, that the education that they are receiving is engaging and inspiring.

Queenie Louie is the director for Factoria and Mercer Island. She is kind yet firm with her students. The program is great - the foundation is start with what the student can handle and then practice, practice, practice. As the student masters a level, they go on to the next level. They cover math and reading. They work with pre-K through high school. The work does not take a lot of time for the student, but it's daily practice with one visit per week to the center. Kumon is an affordable solution for extra help that our schools don't provide. I highly recommend Queenie and her 2 centers.

I am sure you don't want the full (long) version, but I will try to give you the summary…read more Our son and daughter were there. My son, 5 and my daughter, 3. To be fair, my daughter's teacher was fabulous, so there may be hope should you decide to place your children here. My son's teacher was (IMO) horrid! To start with, she is a mother who has a nanny take care of her children so she can work at the school. I find that incredibly odd. I cannot see how a preschool teachers salary can be valuable enough to offset the cost of a full-time nanny. At any rate - our son was overheard using a "potty word" and the school let us know. We disciplined him, told him it was inappropriate, etc. Well, a few weeks later, the school called my wife and I in to have a meeting. They stated in the meeting that another 5 year old heard our sone say the "F" word. The teacher questioned my son, and cohersed him into admitting he did say a bad word. ((side note - during the entire meeting, the teacher did not speak, make eye contact, or engage in the meeting. We were speaking to the director and the associate pastor of the church.)) The staff went on to explain that bad words were not acceptable, and if he were to get a "third strike", the school would expell him. When I asked if the school saw fit to work with a child, and be accepting and forgiving, they said "no" and that bad words were NEVER tolerated and they felt strong in their desire to expell children who use these words. WOW! A christian school that isn't able to forgive, teach and nurture... odd... Furthermore, they stated that our son was in need of a special observation to see "what his issues were". The state would pay for the observation. We declined. We then moved back to Noah's Ark, and immediately saw our son flourish! He loved school, loved the teachers and the teachers loved him. When we asked (many times) if he was "challenging" or "naughty" - the answer was no. Look, I don't want to seem like our kid is bad and we are naive. We have shared this story (in greater detail) with many families and they are all appauled at the schools position. In fact, many of the families are members of this church and were begging us to let them speak to the churches board of directors. Our son never physically threatened another child, never hit, never endangered anyone. He used bad language, twice, and the school felt this was something they could not handle. I find this very odd, as we are PAYING them to teach our kids right from wrong.
