First of all i like to say that I have been through a few tutor programs for my son , some…read moreexpensive and some inexpensive, but i 'm not really satisfy with the results. It's when i found Leslie that i 'm happy with the result. So I would recommend Leslie to anyone who is looking for a tutor, and you will see the results in your kids grade in just a matter of time and most important of all, she is patient and likes to work with kids. Her price is very reasonable and her knowledge with kids are exceptional. If you are looking for a tutor , please give Leslie a try before you try anyone else, you won't be disappointed.

Leslie and I worked together when she lived in the East Bay. I had several private students that…read morewere particularly difficult or resisted cooperating with extra time for learning. I recommended these students to Leslie. She could change their attitude in no time. She was my 'go to" expert for making learning fun and producing excellent results. Some students have followed her to Sacramento because she could relate to their learning blocks. I miss her expertise and often call her for advice. She's good with all grades and she works with their school textbooks and communicates with school teachers if necessary. I gave her five stars but I'd give her more if I could.

Now all I have to do is smile and high five all those A's and B's, which is a much better job for an aunt. Highly recommend!

I attended California Learning Center from the ages of 10-18. I received assistance with study…read moreskills, history, chemistry, physics, English, entrance exams into high school, ACT prep, college essays, and more. California Learning Center is an excellent resource for children of all ages. Run by an outstanding teacher. If you believe your child could use extra help OR your child could use a challenge, CLC is the best option. All teachers are certified, licensed educators in the state of California who are dedicated and hope to see your child thrive. As a long time student of CLC, I know I am the student I am today, receiving my Doctorate in Physical Therapy because of the skills and knowledge I received from California Learning Center.

I know some people love this place, but this is my experience after nearly 2 years. My child's…read moregrades did not improve and my child's test scores stayed flat. Everything about this place is dated - they've had the same tutors there for 30 years, the same teaching materials for 30 years - look at the books and supplies. It's all super old. Even the furniture in the waiting room is 30 years old. I don't think this organization has the energy, enthusiasm or passion to engage with young students anymore.

DO NOT USE VARSITY. If i could give less than one star, I…read morewould. We signed up three weeks ago because my stepdaughter needs help in 6th grade math and language arts. After 3 weeks, we still have not had a successful tutoring session and I have had to spend almost 8 hours on the phone trying to get help. At first, they kept matching her with tutors who were trying to schedule sessions outside of her availability - which was in her profile. We had to do the work of calling and complaining each time we matched with a tutor and they scheduled an incorrect session. For example, she is supposed to have tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We got session requests for Saturday at 7pm. wtf? Then, their customer service sucks. Most of their service reps are outside of the US and there is no way to escalate and talk to a manager. They say that a manager "will call you back in the next 24-48 hours", but if you miss that call, there is no way to call the manager back directly. You have to go through the ENTIRE song and dance again, with a new rep that knows nothing about your case. They FINALLY matched our kid with a tutor available during her time, but only after I spent SEVEN HOURS on the phone with them on Monday and had to talk to multiple different reps. I was hung up on twice by folks who said "what do you want me to do? Ive flagged the problem.". This week, our 6th grader was supposed to start her tutoring but guess what? The tutor has cancelled BOTH SESSIONS this week last minute. On Tuesday, she cancelled about 30 minutes before our session and didnt find another tutor to step in. Today, she cancelled 5 minutes before our session without even a "sorry". I called the customer service line back and have just spent the last 45 minutes on the phone trying to talk to a manager about this with no luck. Interestingly, the customer service reps have no authority to help you with your tutor or cancel your membership. This place is a horrible scam. They do not care about you. They do not care about your children. They do not care about education.

We got in contact with them several months ago because my son's teacher was failing him. He loves…read moreschool and loves learning. In the middle of his 3rd grade year, we noticed that spark in him was starting to dim. You can tell his teacher was just killing time until retirement. So we made the choice to get him extra help. We were assigned Ms Cortney and she is absolutely AMAZING. He's catching up to where he needs to be and that spark in him and his passion for learning came back. He just started the 4th grade but we're continuing his tutoring. He has a 1 hour session a week and he can't wait to log on with Ms Cortney. She's very kind and patient and makes learning fun. We couldn't have asked for a better tutor.

Original review 6/2024 - We highly recommend Ms. Samantha Tutoring. She has been working with our son in person once per week for the past six months. Our son's confidence in math, his abilities and test scores have significantly improved since then. He will soon begin fifth grade and we plan to continue utilizing her services for the foreseeable future. She is patient, knowledgeable and effective.

Specifically Folsom Summer Early Engineers. Not great.

It felt crowded and loud and there didn't seem to be much instruction or activities planned - kids played with some Lego, made a few things out of cardboard. It was basically daycare, with too many kids of varying ages in one space. Firefly Art in Fair Oaks was great. Lovely instructor, cute projects, small group. We have one more (stop motion animation) so will see. I doubt I would sign up for them again next year.

I just got word that my class for my child was canceled. The reason was that they lost the school…read morelocation. They explained that everything happened at the last minute and they're working on getting the location back so that way we can have an afterschool program for my child. This is not OK. I want a full refund right away. I should've known better but I really need an afterschool program for my daughter. I use them last year and there was a lot of disorganization and dysfunction. My daughter's art teacher last spring was horrible. Always on her phone. It was one teacher for over 16 kids. The teacher was supposed to be teaching art and the art projects would come back as pencil work on some scrap paper. I had no idea what I'm paying for. When I asked her why I was getting back scrap paper with pencil work. She said to me that she ran out of supplies and the dream enrichment office wasn't dropping off a replenishment of supplies for her, so she was just using scrap paper and pencils for multiple weeks. I recommended this after school program to my brother and sister-in-law for early engineers because my nephew loves legos and they were desperate looking for after school programs. I'm going to tell them to not send my nephew to this class because there are other programs out there. Please don't waste your money. Everything seems disorganized and very last minute. I also have to say that kids in the class do whatever they want and once they did get a replenishment of supplies they were very old and broken, such as broken crayons. I will never ever use this after school program again. Please save your money.
