Price assessment: Great price

Thank you for your positive feedback! We're pleased to learn that our SAT prep and diverse curriculum have made a positive impact. Our dedicated teachers strive to provide personalized learning experiences that support students' academic growth. We look forward to continuing to support students on their educational journey.
I honestly left my experience with C2 Education feeling more stressed than supported. I understand that I have math skills I need to improve, and I was willing to put in the work, but the way my concerns were handled was really disappointing.
When I explained that I was feeling overwhelmed and drained, especially with the SAT coming up, the response I received felt very passive aggressive and dismissive. Comments about how they’re “not miracle workers” and how I have “about 4 years of math material” to catch up on made me feel like I was being blamed for struggling instead of actually being listened to.
I understand that progress takes time, but I also think students should feel encouraged and supported when they’re struggling. I eventually decided that C2 Education wasn’t the right environment for me and would rather work on my skills independently at my own pace.
I appreciate the tutors who did try to help me, but overall, the communication and way my concerns were handled made this experience extremely stressful.
C2 helped our seven-year-old son prepare for the OLSAT assessment for private school admissions, and he left the test feeling confident and proud. They not only prepared him academically but also strengthened his confidence in his test-taking abilities. The tutors were patient and provided extra support whenever he struggled with a question or new concept.
We plan to continue tutoring with C2 beyond the assessment because they have proven they can effectively work with young students. They provided practice assessments and homework to reinforce what he learned during his sessions. The tutors were thorough and offered helpful suggestions for practice at home.
Thank you to all the staff at C2!

We're happy to know that we've exceeded your expectations and look forward to continuing to do so!
Fortunately, my son met Mr. Mingrui in in C2. What I found more difficult is that this teacher is very patient and responsible. Whenever the child encounters a difficult problem in learning, she will patiently explain until the child fully understands it, and give detailed suggestions for the child's problems. Highly recommended

Thanks for the 5 stars! C2 Education provides expert test prep and college counseling to help students achieve higher test scores, stronger GPAs, and top college acceptances.
Our son did 50 hours of SAT tutoring here and with the effort and help he was able to bring his test score up over 200 points. They also helped him work on his college application essay. We were very pleased.

Thank you for the 5-star rating! We’re proud to support students with SAT prep, ACT prep, AP courses, and college counseling to help them achieve higher test scores, stronger GPAs, and top college acceptances.
This center was extremely helpful in my SAT Prep, boosting my scores by about 200 within a short span of time. Every tutor was exceptionally helpful and the Center Manager Ms. Mingrui gave me wonderful college advice as well. Mr. Hari and Mr Adams stood out to me as my favorite tutors. I highly recommend trying this service.

The staff is very professional and approachable. They are working well with my son and improving math/reading skills. Parul, the director is very friendly.
I usually do not write reviews. But I have three children who are using and have used C2 for years and they all have benefited greatly in their academics. My son almost got a perfect SAT score and got into an Ivy. Both Esther and Parul are wonderful and helpful center directors.
