Fast forward more than 10 years later to year 2023, one is almost graduating from Medical school & one in Pharmacy school. My kids didn't think tutoring was helping them, but I think it did!! They were prepared for college courses, both have good standing in college. I believe that if your child wants to do well in school he/she has to put time in studying, do homework & practice problem solving and test taking. Thank you Advance Tutoring & good luck to all the students out there!!

Need to rewrite I think my review because it got deleted?…read more I used to come here for tutoring for AP bio like 6-7 (unironically) years ago so take my review with a grain of salt. I loved this one male tutor, I think his name was David, so much because he never showed that he judged me and broke down concepts super simply and always encouraged me. This is how all tutors should be. But there was this one woman who went to Harvard or something who brought my mom and I into the office and basically told me it was too late for me and went on and on for a good 30 minutes-an hour about how I'd "never get into a good school" even though I had a 4.0 and I was on a good path, had clinical hours as a 13 year old, and was doing really well. She kept flexing that she went to Harvard and she could tell who would succeed or not, basically saying I'm going to fail at life because she could tell I wasn't going to make it. Ok good for you???? And surprise, she was wrong. I got into the top schools in California and am about to graduate with honors. I wasn't sure if writing a review after this long was fair, since I'm not sure if she still works there, but I still carry that negative memory with me to this day and even included this experience in my college essays. Hope she's not working there anymore and putting students down like that... Hopefully this was just a one-off experience but I'm not confident that it was, since she was way too comfortable rambling on like that. I would give one star because of her but that one tutor saved the rating a little bit.

They…read moreassist with a wide range of difficult subjects including physics, chemistry, calculus, and even college applications. David and his team works incredibly hard to ensure they understand what their students need in order to achieve success in their academic careers. As they've been in business for OVER 15 years, they are incredibly knowledgeable and really understand the material the teachers give out in surrounding SGV schools. I appreciate the heart they put into their students and it is evident that they not only genuinely care about the student's education but also for their wellbeing. I trust that any student who comes here will only grow for the better. Thank you so much David and instructors for providing so much value to the community.

I completely trust him with my son and the work they're doing together. The progress has been remarkable. In his most recent modules, my son scored perfectly on the English section and missed only one question on math, a big improvement from previous sessions where he missed three and five questions. It's clear the one-on-one sessions are paying off. We are so grateful for the individualized attention and are excited to see how his SAT score reflects this progress at the end of March. Highly recommend!

We must have spent $1000+ but it did not work. 5yr old spent her lessons screaming and crying. It got very stressful and traumatic for ME! We also kept switching teachers at Waterworks...some were just not as good with kids. I've come to conclusion that places like Waterworks has a business model to keep you paying for lessons not necessarily getting your kids watersafe. Then we heard about Grace on the Irvine Mom Facebook board. I told her @ my 5 yr old. Immediately she CUSTOMIZED her teaching method and brought in toys. She is always smiling and calm with my daughters. And this is key with my 5 yr old who hated the pool. Grace also ask parents what the focus should be- swim safe or technique. Net net in just 2 months of private lessons- both girls love and ask to go to the pool. My 7 yr old can swim around by herself and my 5 yr old is no longer afraid. Plus Grace is super responsive with text & email, flexible with schedule changes. Other places are not. Only downside is I wish Grace had more Irvine hours. She splits her time her and San Gabriel Valley. I will definitely resume lessons with her the coming Spring.

None of the ten colleges decided by IvyMax for my kid to apply for accepted my kid and we paid $15,000 for its college assistance program and got completely nothing.

As a parent, I would share this with you so that you will be careful to start or continue any programs marketed by IvyMax at Arcadia Center. I contacted the center manager Mrs. Chen Hong but she would not even acknowledge the incompetency. So don't believe what you see or hear from IvyMax marketing materials and do your own homework before engaging with IvyMax Arcadia Center.
