She was placed at the right level, so the work matched her pace and never felt overwhelming. One thing I really appreciated was that she was able to complete her assignments independently at home.

It was amazing to watch her become more motivated and believe in herself. I'm very thankful for the positive impact Kumon had on her learning and confidence.

After a long search for tutoring in the Tri-City area for my second grader, I chose Simon Academics…read moreas they specialize in reading/writing instruction. My son has been taking private writing lessons with Ms. Advani since September 2017. My son was struggling with penmanship, letter formation, and proper capitalization/punctuation, all of which impacted his self-confidence when writing. I felt this caused him to shy away from his writing homework, which in turn impacted the amount of effort he put into these assignments. Three months into the tutoring sessions I can already see significant progress. More than anything I have noticed an attitude change. He is more conscientious about trying to write well, aware of what areas he needs to pay closer attention to. His letter formation and penmanship have improved, apparent just by flipping through his assignments from week 1 to date. Whereas before he would put in minimal effort to complete his writing assignments, today he takes a genuine interest in writing his stories and improving them through proofreading. He adds in extra detail to more clearly convey his thoughts and make them more interesting. This is all leaps and bounds above what I was expecting! My experience has been that Simon Academics helps children develop a healthy respect for the written word and an appreciation for the craft. I credit Ms. Advani with developing my son's confidence with fun challenges and activities. She is also very kind and patient; my son always tells me he looks forward to his tutoring sessions. Thank you Simon Academics - we are glad we found you and you are exactly what we needed. I look forward to continued progress in the months ahead.

Stellar saved our family!…read more Our daughter is smart, creative and funny. But reading was destroying her confidence. We watched her go from a kid who loved learning to one who resisted school and just shut down. She could not keep up. She was not even able to participate in video games during computer class due to reading challenges. One day, she came home and said "I am the dumbest kid in my class." It was heartbreaking. We tried everything. We tried to talk to the teachers and the school and got no where. We hired tutors, in person and on zoom, and saw only mild progress despite a very loaded tutoring schedule. I also sat with her daily to try to "help" her with homework. It was worse than pulling teeth and really hurting our family time. Then one week before the start of the next school year, we found Stellar!!!!! A tiny non-profit school in Newark, CA that specializes in helping kids with dyslexia. After the first info session, I knew we had to take a chance. I was worried about making my kid leave her friends and go to a new place, but it was the best decision. It has been life-changing for our daughter. We stopped fighting at home, and she was finally learning at school. !!! What makes Stellar special: Teaching methods that actually works! -- The teachers are experienced and certified on ways to teach specifically for how dyslexic brains learn. My child is making significant progress. In contrast, our local public school has no specialized support for dyslexic learners, even if you do qualify for extra support via IEP. Just extra reading exposure without the right methods just trying to brut force the solution. It is painful and does not work. Real small-group attention -- For core academics (reading, writing, math), my daughter's leaning cohorts has been around 1 teacher to 4 kids. I think that changes year to year depending on cohorts, but that is a ton of specialized, individualized attention. Recess and afternoon classes like art, PE, and science have a larger group of 10+ mixed age kids, which is great for socialization. Deep neurodivergent expertise -- The staff really get dyslexia. They been through it with their own kids. They get it on a level that goes beyond training. Beyond dyslexia, the staff is skilled in supporting kids with ADHD and morel. There is thoughtful SEL classes also weaved into the curriculum. Genuinely kind and warm -- I can't say enough nice things. It's all the little things, like the head of school is there each morning to receive the kids and greet them all individually. And when my daughter broke her toe and had limited mobility in a boot for a few months, the staff brought out bubbles, chalk, and hula hoops so she could still play at recess. During a field trip to a local park, they added a "walking contest" alongside the running contest so she could participate -- she was a speedy walker in her boot! lol Lean and financially accessible (this matters) -- Most Bay Area schools specializing in dyslexic learners are close to $60k/year. The sticker shock was real for me. Stellar was a bit less than $30k! That's a real difference for a lot of families. You can tell they work very hard to keep it accessible. This investment is truly worth it. Last bit, here's what my child has to say about Stellar: 1. the teachers are the nicest in the world. She loves all the teachers and staff and feels close to every one of them. 2. The school is so small that every kid becomes friends with each other, even across wide age ranges. This was an unexpected bonus! The small school environment did wonders for her confidence and social skills. This is a hidden gem of a school with decades of expertise and so much heart. If you're a Bay Area parent navigating how to support your kid, I cannot recommend Stellar Academy enough. They also offer summer camps and dyslexia screening.

When my son Sam started 6th grade at Stellar Academy, he was struggling. He couldn't subtract,…read moremultiply, or divide, and he was reading at a 2nd-grade level. I felt helpless, knowing he needed significant dyslexia support that his public school district simply couldn't provide. It was my parents who had the wild idea to enroll Sam at Stellar Academy--a school 133 miles away from our home. At first, I thought they were out of their minds. But after reading reviews and seeking advice from family, friends, and advocates, I decided to attend Stellar's orientation. I fell in love with the school and made the decision to enroll Sam. It was, without a doubt, the craziest decision I've ever made--but it turned out to be the BEST! The Slingerland Approach and multi-sensory mathematics instruction worked immensely for Sam. By the end of that same school year, he was reading at grade level and had mastered subtraction, multiplication, and division. But the most remarkable transformation was how much he grew to love school--something I had never seen before. He adored his teachers, his friends, and even the schoolwork. For the first time in his life, Sam felt confident in his abilities as a student. He came home every day energized and excited to share something new he had learned. As a parent, I've never felt more supported by a school. The commute was no small feat... Fridays were especially tough, with rush-hour traffic stretching the drive to 4.5 hours. At one point, I mentioned to Heather, the incredible director of Stellar, that switching the school's minimum days from Wednesdays to Fridays would make our weekly commute more manageable. Heather spoke with her staff, and together they agreed to make the change. That simple act of kindness showed just how deeply the staff at Stellar care about their students and families. Even though it's been three years since Sam attended Stellar, I still reach out to Heather for advice. She remembers Sam and always takes the time to help, no matter how busy she is. Stellar Academy wasn't just a school for my son--it was a lifeline. It's a community of people who are truly dedicated to children, families, and education. I will always be grateful for what they did for Sam. Looking back, I'd sit in that 4.5-hour traffic all over again. The end absolutely justifies the means.

Since then both are doing well and performing above grade level both in school and standardized testings. Most of all I see their confidence grow in their own abilities and love learning! Here are ways this Kumon Center worked great for us ( I am especially reviewing this particular location... because the staff has a LOT to do with the success of my kids) 1. Personal Attention: About every Quarter or so the program director, Maggie, has one on one time with myself and my children to come up with their own personal goals as well as review their progress. This has enabled them to take personal responsibility and also see how far they've come! 2. Consistency : The daily packets & repetition helps them keep learning. 3. Helpful staff and personal help...I am always able to get help, my questions answered about the kids progress, homework etc. 4. They are being taught the principles and not just the mechanics which will help beyond Kumon. Overall, I highly recommend this Kumon Center, I plan to keep both my children until they graduate from the program. We are extremely satisfied, definitely money and time well spent!!!
