Provided by YP.comRUDE, GREEDY, and MISERABLE.
My brother (13 years old) went to this place for a few months and I've never seen him so miserable. He said the classes were useless, the students were out of control, and the staff sucked. For English class they simply reread chapters of what he already read for school. For math class a teacher with an impossibly thick accent and no enthusiasm to teach tediously went through problems on the board.
Finally, for Chinese tutoring, which was the main reason why my family signed my brother up for this place, teaching was inadequate. After only a couple of weeks into this program the main headmistress who runs the place called for a sit down meeting with my brother and parents. She attacked my brother, saying he failed all the tests for the Chinese courses (THERE WERE NONE), and insinuated that we should pay more to keep my brother in that class. After that we pulled my brother from the school and he was extremely happy and relieved.
The other students there were little bullies, which I witnessed when dropping and picking my brother up. The staff was unprofessional and though some teachers were nice, they did not display any true enthusiasm for the intellectual growth of the students. The front lady who runs the place is the WORST. She's nothing but a greedy, selfish, authoritarian lady who cares only for cash and not the kids.
Look elsewhere, this place is not worth it.
