Last summer we started our two children at the Tutoring Club. Our oldest child's 6th grade teacher…read moresuggested he get some summer help to skip a year of math and enroll in Honors 7 at LMS. With the help of the Tutoring club he was able to work on his math skills last summer. He was not eligible to start in Honors 7 because his SOL scores were 2 points away from where he needed to be. He completed 1 semester in regular math where he was getting straight A's and was bored so his teacher promoted him to Honors 7. He ended the year with a B+. He was able to bring homework to the club when he needed an extra explanation of the materials which helped him tremendously. My other son was enrolled for Reading comprehension due to the drop in his SOL scores from 4th to 5th grade by 100 points. His 5th grade teacher was not the best and he didn't learned much in 5th grade from her. He started 6th grade with a 2 in Reading Comprehension in the first quarter, raised it to a 3 in the 2nd quarter and for the 3&4th quarters got a 4. The tutoring club has taught him many strategies in how to read with comprehension and answer questions by the process of elimination. This summer my children are working on their writing skills which is another area that most kids need additional instruction on since teachers can't individually help all students. We have been more than happy with the Tutoring Club and the help our children have received from all the wonderful tutors they have on staff.

I would give them zero rating if available. There don't really care for teaching the kids. Our son…read morewas attending this tutoring club for several months. No reading improvement after 77 hours spent there. It turned out that he needed different methods for learning and this club is not for that. After talking to them, they were supposed to send us written assessment of our son's progress and we never got it. The only respond we got was that our son was loosing concentration after 20 min each time and they did not communicate that to us at all!!! Obviously they don't care if they actually teach your kids anything or just taking money from you!!! Not to mention that we have troubles to refund our money as we prepaid at discounted rate.

I have been working with Georgetown learning Centers for eight years. All three of my children…read morehave benefited greatly from the masterful tutors at Georgetown,. Unlike other tutoring centers, GT individualizes student learning plans for each child. As a parent, I was asked very specific ,targeted questions about my child's learning style and needs. The director(s) worked with me to find the BEST match for my child. This individualized attention is what made the difference for my children. They experienced success with challenging curriculum and skills due to the care and attention provided by the tutors. The open communication offered by each tutor is stellar. Whenever I have a question or need or concern, I can email my child's tutor and receive an immediate response and possible solutions. Any challenge I pose is received with a positive response and ideas to solve the problem. The folks at GT look at problems as opportunities for growth rather than a roadblock. This "positivity" is felt by the students receiving tutoring services. There have been times when my child is frutrated, sad, and feeling very negative about him/herself sometimes not wanting to persevere through a challenging school task, Once they see their tutor and receive the help they need, these feelings are turned around. I highly recommned Georgetown Learning Centers to any parent looking for high quality instruction AND a caring, kind staff.

What? I get to be the first to review? Excellent!…read more Let me tell you how excited my son was to be signed up for tutoring. Answer: Not at all. And honestly, I thought it would be an argument every week going there, but no, he liked it right off the bat, to my surprise and his. The actual physical space is clean, bright and comfortable. The staff is patient - very, very patient and knowledgeable as well. They have the kids working pretty hard but they give them reasonable breaks so they can concentrate for the time they are working. The have 1 tutor working with 3 to 4 kids at a similar level so they get enough time and attention but it's not a one on one focus, which can feel like "pressure" in some ways. Some days, depending on what time we were there, it was 1 tutor with 2 children. Most often, it was 1 to 3. Tutoring is expensive so we all want measurable results and so for us, having the extensive assessment testing before and all along the way as we went along, was really helpful. Monthly progress meetings with the parents showing measurable results lets you know where your child is improving and how fast (or slow in some areas). It's just reassuring the have that measurement. They are also very, very willing to coordinate and communicate with your child's teacher or school, but I found the schools very resistant to that and I was a bit mystified. Seems like its a partnership made in heaven, but our school system was not very cooperative on that front. We had a positive experience and saw some significant improvements during the school year.

Our child attends First Steps Academy and I can't say enough good things about our preschool. We…read morelove the Directors and our Teachers and our four year old is always happy to go to school. They are located in the heart of Tysons Corner and are in the process of expanding the school by adding more classrooms and a large multi-purpose room. I'm not sure how many kids will be able to attend once all the rooms are done, but it has to be over 150. Parking can be a little crazy if you pick up or drop off between 5-6pm, but it's not something the school can control since they're located on the ground floor of an office park. The outdoor playgrounds are small, but the kids don't seem to mind (and that will become less of an issue once the multi-purpose room is finished). Aside from those small issues, we feel blessed that our child was able to receive such great "academic training", support, care and fun over the past couple of years. My wife and I feel like First Steps Academy has been great for our family and we both 100% recommend it.

My son started here in February of this year, he was struggling with motivation and reading. We…read morenoticed that this program is repetitive and builds on his progress at his pace. The take-home homework is short and just enough that he doesn't feel overwhelmed with school work. This program has helped with his writing (he used to write all his numbers and letters flipped) and we felt so encouraged that we enrolled him into the math. The classroom is organized. The kids seem to know the system. There seems to be a lot of part time teenage proctors around for the kids to get help. The hallways outside of the center is pure chaos. There is a dance studio and a taekwondo studio all on the same floor. It's very rowdy and there is not enough sitting area for the waiting parents.

We did not have a positive experience here. After reading the reviews, we were hopeful. However,…read morethe location was not inviting and did not feel conducive to learning. The center is located on an underground level, with no natural light or windows in the classroom area. The teacher explained the materials to me, that I would be teaching my child at home, which left me thinking what services am I paying for. My expectations were different after watching the seven-minute video on the corporate website.

My learning-to-be-responsible daughter, has signed up and missed like 4 classes and each time Rachel has called or texted me a friendly reminder that she didn't log in (they're doing virtual tutoring for now)-NOT something she needs to do for sure. (You pay a tuition, not per class, so she loses nothing if your child doesn't log on/attend). Please consider them for your child's math - both of my kids has benefited from learning here- catch up and to maintain- they really are great to work with! They also have a trial period, and will tell you if the child will not do well with their style of teaching... she isn't just out for the bucks! #WeloveMathnasiumBurke!
