I ended up signing up for the bridge the gap program and writing program. It was advertised for 30 hours. It's a week program - and when you sign up - I signed up for 9-12 ( 3 hours)--- so I figured the "30 hours" was for 2 weeks. I will show screen shots. The business owner told me when signing up to give my sons email. Days before -- no email on what to bring. I messaged Anshika, the business owner and asked her what to bring. She said no need to bring anything -- and that the class is now 9:30-11:30. So class is cut down 1 hour. This weeks class is only 4 days - which would mean it's 8 hours of instruction. She explained that most kids can not sit that long and that her teachers are highly qualified and that we are paying a cheap price for what we are getting. She said she would give us the extra hour for free-- even though our receipt indicates the class is 9-12. $335 is not cheap for a 4 day class. First day of class- we are the only participants in this class. We are told that my son has huge gaps and that his writing is messy. 2nd day - I mention that he does have adhd but he has ok grades. He is not disruptive and he is willing to learn. 30- 45 mins later - I get a call that because I am unsatisfied with the program that she will credit me and that I can pick up my son at anytime. She said they are not equipped to teach someone who has adhd and to mention it on Yelp. I was credited my full amount for both classes that I signed up. I do not recommend this business. They have highly qualified teachers that are not willing to teach someone who has learning gaps per the owner. The owner should not be in customer service.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, catering to multiple age groups, with instructors who are either former software engineers or MS in Computer Science graduates who truly enjoy teaching kids. The program provides a strong STEM foundation while supporting progressive learning at every stage. For after-school, they offer homework help, school pick-ups, and engaging activities like Chess, Coding, and Robotics. They also run 1-2 hour classes throughout the week for extra enrichment. The facility itself is fantastic--plenty of parking, clean and modern spaces, new infrastructure, and loads of fun tools and toys for kids to explore.

He loves Roblox and gaming, and iCode set everything up from pizzas, drinks, gaming stations, even a customized greeting and fun music.

It was three hours of nonstop fun, and we barely had to lift a finger, we just brought the donuts. Their team coordinated everything and made it effortless for us. We originally looked at renting a gaming truck, but this was so much better. Our son said it was one of his favorite birthdays. Highly recommend!

This review is for the Huntington Learning Center in Pleasanton…read more My child was falling behind on her subjects in 5th grade. She was assessed at Huntington and we learned that she was a grade level or more behind on certain subjects. We knew that she needed additional support to get up to speed prior to the start of 6th grade. Mona provided a clear action plan to address my child's needs. We were provided a set number of hours that was an estimation of the time needed for my child to catch up to her grade level. We would meet up with Mona every 4-6 weeks to see the progress our daughter was making. We will see the scores our daughter achieved on different subjects. We would also discuss the focus of the upcoming weeks. The improvement was gradual in the beginning. Once my daughter got used to the process and routine, we saw dramatic improvement in her grades. Even her attitude towards learning has greatly improved! Mona mentioned that confidence on the subject matter is what really contributes to the success of a student. As my daughter gained more confidence in her work, we can clearly see that she began having a much more positive attitude about learning. We owe our daughter's success to Hunting Learning Center. Thank you!

I wanted to share my personal experience with Mathnasium in Dublin so other parents know what to…read moreexpect. A friend recommended Mathnasium to me, and I found the Dublin location online. I eventually registered for an assessment through their Facebook page. At no point during the online registration process or on the Facebook page did I see any mention that there was a fee for the assessment. I have no problem paying a reasonable assessment fee if it is clearly disclosed upfront. In fact, my daughter has had assessments at two other tutoring centers, and both clearly stated the cost during registration. Transparency is important. The assessment had been scheduled for about three weeks. A few hours before the appointment, the owner called me and said he wanted to go over a few things about the assessment. I was at work and in a hurry, so I told him my daughter would be attending with her father the following morning and that I understood it was simply an assessment to determine her level, after which we would decide whether to enroll.I then said- and it is free of cost.  He then mentioned there was "a small fee." When I asked how much the fee was, he repeatedly said he wanted to discuss several things with me before disclosing the amount. I explained that I simply wanted to know the fee because it had not been disclosed anywhere online. Since my husband was taking our daughter, I did not want him arriving and being surprised by an unexpected charge. After I asked several times, he finally told me the assessment fee was $114. Again, I want to emphasize that the amount itself was not the issue. I was simply disappointed that the fee had not been disclosed during registration. At that point, the conversation changed. His tone became noticeably less pleasant, and he began asking questions such as, "What are you looking for for your child?". "Why did you register- then ?"  and "Why do you want your child here in this program?" I found the conversation uncomfortable because I was simply trying to understand the assessment fee before deciding whether to proceed. I explained that I was working and needed to get off the phone, but I felt pressured to continue the discussion. Ultimately, I canceled the appointment. My decision had nothing to do with the $114 fee. I am happy to invest in my daughter's education. What concerned me was the lack of upfront disclosure about the assessment cost and the change in tone during the conversation. As a parent, first impressions matter. If I don't feel respected during the enrollment process, it makes me question whether that is the environment I want for my child. This review reflects only my experience with the Dublin location. I cannot speak about any other Mathnasium centers, and I'm sure other families may have had different experiences.

I had originally considered enrolling my children in Mathnasium summer programs, but after today's…read moreexperience, I no longer feel comfortable supporting this location. While picking up my child from middle school, I briefly stopped in the red zone because I was not feeling well and currently have a fever. Within seconds, the business owner, Mr. Siva, approached my vehicle aggressively, yelling and cursing loudly in front of my children and other students. He was not law enforcement or school staff, yet his behavior was intimidating, hostile, and completely inappropriate for someone running a business centered around children and education. My children were genuinely frightened by the interaction. Regardless of parking frustrations, there is never an excuse to speak to parents that way in front of children. What concerns me even more is that Mathnasium as a brand chooses to franchise locations to individuals who conduct themselves in this manner. It seriously makes me question the professionalism, judgment, and values of the company as a whole. Because of this experience, I will be taking my children to another math tutoring center moving forward.
