We've had a great experience with Matt for my high school son's geometry class. He has been…read moreexcellent at explaining concepts in a way that really makes sense. My son's math teacher at school sometimes explains things in a way that confuses him, but Matt is able to break everything down clearly and make sure he truly understands the material. He's also been very flexible with scheduling, which we really appreciate with a busy high school schedule. Most importantly, my son genuinely likes working with him and feels much more confident in geometry because of the extra help. We're very grateful for Matt's support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a patient, effective math tutor.

Where do I begin? I can't possibly express how much this…read moreprogram has changed my son. He has gone to different tutors before but the layout and guidelines and structure of this program has made a huge impact in his progress in school. Greta and Mona and the Kumon crew are amazing. They help my son when he needs help but they help him in the right way so that he learns. Not only has he done better in school but he actually enjoys reading and does not get as frustrated and his personality has changed a bit. He's definitely more confident because of the layout of the program and how he has progressed to through and is continuing to smoothly move forward. He was given the rules on his first day and he knew what to expect every day after. I really love their concept of having them do a little bit each day. Constantly practicing and practicing daily. This program will be in my son's life until hes too old for it. I don't want to just keep him where he needs to be, I want him to be ahead of the game in every grade. I highly recommend this program to everyone. It is absolutely amazing if your child has fallen behind to help him get caught up the right way. It's great for kids to do throughout the year since they are off of school during the summer and you want to continue to keep them up on their academics. It's also great if you want them to be ahead of the game. Thank you so much again. We are a year into the program and I am looking forward to many more years with them

My 3 year old really likes it thus far. We just started at the beginning of this year so I will…read morecontinue to monitor his progress. My concern is that this location seems to be getting more crowded by the week. I want to ensure my 3 year old is getting enough one-on-one with an instructor. Two kids to one instructor seems fair and manageable but more than that doesn't seem effective. I hope Greta will manage the ratio of kids/instructors available because I'm growing more concerned about it. Tuition isn't cheap, especially in this climate, so I'd like to know that I'm paying for more than just those booklets. As I stated earlier, my son seems to be really enjoying it so I will continue to monitor progress and hope to give this place 5 stars after we've spent more time here. Also, the parking situation is definitely a headache.

I'm familiar with their curriculum and teaching style so I became a proponent of their establishment and mission statement. You'll find other places trying to emulate their curriculum but because their curriculum is trademarked, nothing compares. Also, Ross and Brian are both OTs, so they're very knowledgeable in anatomy and physiology -- meaning, they understand the human body and its mechanisms. My son is now a Sponge and I see significant improvements with his fine and gross motor skills including but not limited to handwriting and cutting. He is ergonomically holding pens/pencils and scissors properly. Also he's got excellent trunk control --way better than mine! I highly recommend PMP. So worth every penny. Jordan loves attending his class and he said he looks forward to being promoted to a Builder and then a Heavylifter one day!!

Dr. D was an inspiring teacher--knowledgeable, patient, and truly engaging with the students.

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. The teacher didn't think we needed to seek outside help just yet, but I decided to see how a session with Christine went anyways. 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.

Shohreh is one of the best teachers I have had in my entire (not just adult) life. Her enthusiasm…read moretowards teaching creates such a friendly and positive environment toward learning Farsi. She does so well with making sure you absorb all of the lessons in a thorough yet gentle fashion. The class' approach to the technical side of the language is very good and what you need to build a foundation. But what made the class so interesting is Shohreh's insights into Persian culture and history during lessons which will in turn teach you the artistic side of the language. Teaching both makes me feel like I have not just learned, but I understand, the language. Also as a non-Persian learning for fun because my wife speaks Farsi and is Persian, the class has provided insights into her and her family I greatly appreciate and would not have gotten out of an app. My recommendation could not be higher for Shohreh and her program.

When I first arrived I was expecting textbooks, work sheets, and a long list of words to memorize - however this was far from the case. What I found was a small, friendly, and inviting group of classmates that together, through many small conversations and lessons, began to pick up Farsi. From practice scenarios, eating great Persian food, and talking with classmates I got the true immersion experience! While the curriculum is not very dry, stressful, or overly intensive, I was surprised by how fast everything went. After just the first class I was reading, writing, and even doing some speaking! Before I knew it, I felt like I was having full conversations in Farsi without even thinking about it and it felt so natural. Looking forward to continuing my Farsi learning experience in Shohreh's advance classes!
