Both of my kids have been attending Mathnasium El Segundo for 1/2 year now. I wouldn't say they…read morelook forward or enjoy going to tutoring class (who does?!) but, they admit that the work they do at Mathnasium, empowers them when it's Math time at school. Occasionally, when my kids are not following a lesson at school, they do not hesitate to ask the tutors at Mathnasium to spend time to work on that specific lesson, so they can be more prepared when they return to school the next day. Overall, my kids believes Mathnasium is crucial for all types of students. The El Segundo location is convenient , and all the tutors are great with the kids. The head staff is very patient, and is willing to take time to discuss the progression of the student with the parents. If you are on the fence whether you should send your child to Mathnasium, then I highly suggest you to. The struggle should not be at home, and be left to the professionals.

After our child missed critical foundational learning during the pandemic, we realized they needed…read moretargeted help to catch up to grade level. We began working with Sylvan and it was one of the best decisions we made for our family's educational journey. Sylvan provided detailed, ongoing assessments that gave us clear visibility into exactly what skills our child was working on and what was coming next, no guesswork, just steady progress. The program helped them build those essential skills with confidence and consistency. A huge shoutout to Becky and Ana, they are true standouts! Their genuine passion shines through, and personalized approach made all the difference. They truly care about each student's success. We are eternally grateful to the entire team at Sylvan Learning on Slauson for helping our child. If your child needs that extra support, I highly recommend this center, it's made a world of difference for us!

Scheduling is easy and they are super flexible with finding a time that works around our kiddos busy after school activities. Eva helped our daughter with her least favorite subject, math. The first thing she did was build her confidence and next gave her valuable tips and tricks to understand math better. Our daughter now loves math. It's a miracle. Whatever magic Eva deployed, it works! Thank you Eva and Ivywood Tutors.

I would recommend Math Geeks to anyone taking college-level math courses.

Kumon has been a wonderful tool for my daughter as she struggles through Common Core at school…read more Having her in Kumon assures me that she is "getting it". I feel as though she is not getting a full understanding of the basics when presented via Common Core. In second grade alone, they have jumped around from the simplest addition & subtraction all the way to multiplication and division!?!?!? A week here, a week there. It just doesn't seem like a solid foundation. Kumon's system is all about strong fundamentals! We will have our daughter in Kumon throughout her schooling, so long as Common Core remains present in the district & state. I highly recommend Claire and this center!

My son finished Kindergarten last year and just started first grade. I can't speak for first grade…read moreyet, but his Kindergarten teacher, "Mrs Strange" was AWESOME!

The principle, starts his sophomore year and at this point it's too hard to evaluate him. As far as I can tell, his efforts have been sincere in trying to keep the Madison standard high!

Best decision ever. Our two sons used Blue Train for multiple things over their junior and senior years - test assessment/diagnostic, ACT prep and guidance, college list building, guidance re HS classes and even extra curricular advise, as well as navigating the college application process and the all-important essay drafting. Scott and the people at Blue Train put the boys on a very manageable schedule and in fact, both of our sons were totally done with most applications by Thanksgiving. Both boys got into tons of schools, got thrown tons of money, and this entire process was so smooth because of Blue Train's guidance. We event consulted with Scott when deciding which schools to attend. I cannot say enough how effective and impressive Blue Train was. Highly recommend !!!
