I used to go here as a child. And I decided to put my son in Somerset Learning Center as well. And he is showing much improvement in the subjects that were needed. I can't recommend this place. You know everyone there is so friendly and inviting. They are very accommodating and work with you every step of the way! Again, can't recommend this place enough.

Review from Google · view on GoogleA parent and a teacher, I highly recommend The Somerset Learning Center to help your child with standardized tests and to build skills in language arts and math that will help them find success and build confidence. Lana is approachable, caring and will build a program to meet your child's expectations. My child had an SAT score that he wanted to achieve. After one year at the Somerset Learning Center his score exceeded that bench mark. My students share similar positive experiences with me. It is without reservation that I suggest calling The Somerset Learning Center

Review from Google · view on GoogleSomerset Learning Center (SLC) is fantastic and was the perfect match for my daughter. She fell behind during Covid and needed a place to help her get back on track. Lana and her team took the time to assess my daughter's math and English skills and laid out a plan to get her back to grade level. SLC was able to provide a very small classroom setting (2-3 students) that allowed my daughter to receive individualized attention, which was critical to the way she learns. The teachers took the time to understand her learning process and did a great job building up her foundational skills. The teachers also helped her prepare for the Math Accuplacer and as a result, she was able to place into the college math course that is required for her major. Would highly recommend the Somerset Learning Center.

Review from Google · view on GoogleI highly recommend Somerset Learning Center for high school students to prep for the SAT. Firstly, the staff and owner are very welcoming and work closely with your child. They also provide a flexible schedule for your child to practice. The teachers offer several advice when preparing for the SAT. I was able to experience this with my son who scored well on the exam. The teachers are wonderful and work one on one with your child to better understand a topic. My son have a great time working with them and it payed off. Truly a well rounded team of staff and teachers.

Review from Google · view on GoogleI highly recommend Somerset Learning Center for SAT prep! They really take time to assess your teen's current skills and strengths in order to focus their tutoring where your child needs it most. Both my teens greatly benefited from the one-on-one tutoring sessions. I also appreciated their flexible scheduling and having the option of doing in person or online sessions. Both my teens had great experiences and scored very well on their SATs! Thank you Somerset Learning Center!
