A master of her craft, always smiling, Silke's warm,friendly demeanor is contagious.

Now with a strong understanding of the grammar and structure, I am able to form sentences and sing in German! Yay! I will continue to study with Silke because I can see how quickly she has helped me improve! I recommend Silke to anyone curious about learning German. She is the best!!!! Viel Spaß!

If I hadn't lost over $5k in prepaid fees to these guys, I'd say the operation was a joke…read more Unfortunately, the truth is more nefarious than that. We tried Tutoring Club for our son, thinking it might be a lower cost alternative to Elite Prep. We prepaid $5,600 in tutoring fees in Sept, based on a promise written in our contract that they would refund if we didn't like it. My son felt the quality of instruction was rudimentary compared to Elite Prep, so we cancelled almost immediately. The owner acknowledged that we were due a refund at the time. It is now Jan, 4 months later, and they still have not processed the promised refund. Maybe they are a struggling business and just don't have the funds. Or maybe they are so disorganized they can't get their act together. Or maybe they engage in deceitful business practices. Whatever the case, there is no explanation that makes this the kind of place you want to trust for your children's academic success.

In the wake of COVID, our son had fallen woefully behind in math and his grades in other subjects were also suffering as he never had a chance to properly adjust to the academic demands of middle school during the lockdown. By creating a customized schedule for our son, Reshma & Jennifer have not only shored up his math skills but have put him on the path to success in high school. This was no small feat given how easily distracted he is; it took a lot of individual attention and coaching. Moreover, Reshma was willing to sit down with us multiple times to brainstorm and provide guidance -- including a draft high school class list tailored to our son. All in all a great experience thus far, and worth every penny. Highly recommended!

My son has been working with Ms Gabby and Ms Claire and I have seen how his math skills and confidence has improved. His testing scores have also improved since joining. Hes been at Mathnasium for over a year (started in 3rd Grade..currently in 4th Grade) but in the first 3 months his math skills have changed. He can initiate his homework now and he has a better attitude toward his work. Thank you for giving me peace of mind and helping my son to be the best version of himself when it comes to learning math. It's not worth losing your mind, spilling tears when trying to help your kid learn math skills that you haven't used in over 20 years. Mathnasium teaches this generation's math concepts. Why stress both you and your child when you have this program to guide them.

We have now entered the realm of student music... along with (what seemed) the rest of the entire…read morelocal school district(s). Bertrand's Music already did a great job marketing last year to introduce the kids to various instruments, and to provide parents with information about how to secure rental instruments and lessons. The fliers and information were helpful to return to this location. We were fortunate to identify a couple of violins from close friends but they desperately needed restring and repair. We came in Saturday to meet Troy - who was the nicest young man to help us identify the services needed. He provided detailed information about timeline and quote and made the whole experience painless. Mind you~ this is their busiest season at the start of the school year. Even though the building was filled with families, students, crying babies, and various instrument noises.. Troy provided top notch service and executed all needs without a hitch. We submitted instruments on Saturday and received a detailed telephone call by Monday to retrieve the instruments. Even upon return, we had the high fortune of meeting with Troy again. One of his fellow associates (newer in her training) helped us at first. Troy came to the rescue to help clarify the transaction, identified a computer error in billing, and skillfully provided us with the close of transaction needed. He went above and beyond to then offer to tune the instruments using one of their tools behind the counter (and he doesn't even play violin! just knows the ear and use of equipment). The violins sounded lovely. I never met this young gentleman before, but if Troy is the standard of hiring at this type of establishment, he has secured my business and my recommendation to come back to this Bertrand's. He was kind, well informed, and efficient. I was able to have two instruments repaired, tuned and timely prepared for the this wretched band season (I have two very excited musicians and a new box of earplugs.) The prices were reasonable and the service quick. He couldn't have provided better service. Be sure to ask for Troy when you return if you need anything related to music service needs. He made the experience fantastic and we will return and recommend.

Bertrand's Music is a music store focused on "school band & orchestra sales, rentals, lessons, and…read morerepair," as stated on their website. Our middle school band teachers works with Bertrand's Music exclusively and I understand that they trust them. The store itself looks nice. They had some instruments for sale displayed, along with music books. They have rooms for lessons in the back. The parking lot is usually congested though and parking is not easy. Our experience is only with getting an instrument repair quote from them. I'm sure the lessons and rentals are just fine here, but we would not exactly recommend Bertrand's for repairs, especially if you weren't even referred to come here by your school band for an instrument that belongs to the school. They have to ship out the instrument somewhere off site to even give us a quote, and we had to wait ten business days just to hear back that the instrument was unsalvageable and not worth repairing. They were unable to provide us with any written detail of what exactly needed to be repaired and what the cost would be. I'm not sure why they do it like this, because it appears a bit unprofessional. If you're looking for someone to repair a specific instrument that you own, we don't think this is the perfect place to bring it. It would probably be best to find someone who specializes in repairing that instrument to do it on site. Repairs were just one aspect of their business and it's technically a relationship between the school band and Bertrand's, so it didn't bother us. The staff were very nice and accommodating, and we appreciated that. They provided us with a receipt that the school needed, and it was as simple as that. Thank you!
