We had told her up front that our child has behavioral issues including ADHD, and she reassured us that they work with children like this all the time, which is why we chose Sylvan to begin with. But after one month of disappointment, we had no choice but to stop. It's as if she gave up on our our child. And when it came time to leave, she offered us nothing--no apology, no guidance, no recommendations, no hope, no closure, nothing. By the way our kids also reported that one of the tutors even threw my kid's stuffed animal across the room against a wall. We understand our kid shouldn'tve brought it in the first place, but that doesn't excuse such violent behavior. Lastly our children built up thousands of "points" but never knew how to redeem them and were never even offered the chance to do so. In short, don't waste your time and money here. Your children deserve so much better.

Online is a frustrating way to take a math class - there is no in-person instruction. Basically, you get the text book and teach yourself. I did fine for the first 5 weeks but then the subject crossed a line for me that became unmanageable on my own. I was spending way too much time on YouTube looking for videos that might help and trying to match it up with what I was reading in the text book. It's not as easy as you would imagine. I found WarWar through Yelp. If you have trouble connecting, try calling during hours you know someone will be there (after school, etc.) so you get to talk to a live person. I reached Shelby, she set me up with what I needed and was extremely efficient and friendly. I bought a batch of hours (instead of x amount of hours p/week). Then I would schedule my sessions when convenient for me until I exhausted the amount of time I had bought. They sell a 5 hour and a 10 hour block. Juliana was my tutor and I LOVE this girl! Her sense of humor is just my cup of tea, and I am totally amazed at her brain. She not only explains how to work the problem, she took the abstract context out of it and it became much easier to see the practical application of WHY one might do the equation at hand. I can't say enough about her. Juliana is the bomb!

Their tutors they provide offer a wide range of subjects and grade levels. I found out that my niece who is in high school was also tutoring there and her grades went up exponentially. As for my son, he has a new found confidence. He is going into second grade with a 5th grade reading level and 4th grade math level. I opted for year round tutoring and his tutor is always prompt, professional and makes learning fun. I am extremely thankful. My advice is to book as soon as possible and let them know what subjects need the most work as they have tutors that specialize in different subjects.

I've always said, you can find 1,000 reviews on a hot dog, but something as important as education…read morerarely gets yelp reviews. Well I'd like to take a break from Hot Dog writing for a moment and tell you about Eye Level. Last year when my daughter was finishing 2nd grade, I felt the school had met their common core goals by mid April and was just sitting out the clock until June. Homework stopped coming home and days were wasted. My friend had been sending his daughter to Eye Level in Huntington Beach for over a year and was very happy with the results between public school and Eye Level once a week. He did all the research into Kumon vs Eye Level and from what I understand the biggest difference is the teacher involvement. This Anaheim Hills Eye Level location is very well run by a friendly lady named Chris. Chris did a placement exam with my daughter for over an hour, then explained what areas she needed more work on. The biggest complaint I have about common core in the public school, is that they kind of just check the box when a kid passes a test and move on, assuming the child will retain that passed skill forever without practicing it again. Well the brain doesn't work like that, you need constant repetition or you'll forget. Eye Level workbooks provide plenty of practice on skills until they have truly mastered them. Each kid works at their own pace and class size is small (usually no more than 5) so they can get plenty of help from the teacher when necessary. The teachers are adults and have teaching experience in their subjects, so you won't get any part time high school students here. Each kid gets a backpack and folder to keep their homework in, so as to keep it separate from regular school. The homework assignments are geared for them to be able to do it by themselves. As such, I never have to fight with my daughter about doing her homework. The parent is asked to look over it, but not correct it. Any mistakes will be corrected in class that way the Eye Level teachers know what the kid needs more work on. I've had a few other parents ask me, why pay for Eye Level, when you can find similar teaching resources online and work with your kids at home. Well, when my wife and I have to teach our daughter, it's World War III. She fights us over everything. We are her parents and it's hard for her to see us as anything but the person who she never wants to be wrong in front of. Thus we have conflict. But she seems to be very polite to her teachers at Eye Level, and willing to take instruction from them. Now that we've started 3rd grade, I can tell that my daughter came in ahead of the game and is easily doing her multiplication and division, while some of the other kids are struggling with it. Chris knew that would be a key area of the common core for 3rd grade and spent plenty of time working on it this summer. It seems to have paid off. Chris has done a nice job making the Eye Level group seem like a community. She often plans fun nights, where on Friday night the kids will come in for pizza and games, while the parents can use it to grab some dinner and make a date night out of it. It's win/ win and my daughter always wants to go. We've been doing Math and English class every week for 6 months now, and are very happy with Eye Level. I also believe it has given my daughter some extra confidence that she will do well in school.

I had a very disappointing experience with Learning Tree. My son attended the program from last…read moreOctober until April of this year, and the experience was never truly what we had hoped for. At the beginning, we were invited to a group chat with teachers and staff, where responses were prompt and communication felt excellent - a major reason we chose the program. Regrettably, this responsiveness faded after a few months, with far more messages left unread or ignored than addressed. Additionally, we received no detailed academic updates about my son's progress throughout his entire time there. Teachers barely greeted you when picking up a child. Maybe this is the norm, but as a Korean mom who attended Korean hagwons (after school programs) before, in addition to being a teacher at an after-school program myself for five years in the past, this felt a bit rude and very unwelcoming. My son can have challenging behaviors, something I was transparent about from day one. I do appreciate that the staff worked with him over the months. However, after his dismissal in April, the lack of communication became especially concerning. I have followed up multiple times about the prorated refund for the unused portion of April's tuition and clarification on the refundable status of the enrollment deposit. Despite this, Grace, the program manager, has not responded since April. I gave her two months before writing this review. Additionally, when I directly asked Grace whether news of his dismissal had been shared with other parents, she assured me it had not. That said, I have since sensed uncomfortable vibes from certain parents whose children are in the same class, leading me to wonder if information was shared after all (my gut feeling tells me it has, because what are the chances? Timing is too coincidental). Regardless of the reason for dismissal, families deserve transparent billing, timely financial resolution, and basic professional courtesy. Being left in the dark after months is both surprising and disheartening. This has been a very negative, unwelcoming, and unprofessional experience. This place cannot be trusted. I would strongly advise other families to look elsewhere.

Last Summer, we signed up for the SAT/ACT Prep course. They gave him sample tests regularly and reviewed the wrong answers. He ended up with a 1500 in his first SAT test.
