Again, we wanna express our gratitude to instructor Aaron! Although my child gave wrong answers, he immediately understood his mistake after Aaron's explanations. He isn't that fluent with English so he couldn't express it in class, but again, thank you so much, Aaron! 🌹🌹🌹

The instructor, Maddie, was really good and both of my kids completed the survey voluntarily and gave a score of 10/10! The instructor was also very patient.

Thank you, Kaka for your session. I've often wondered what makes many kids get turned off math. Is it just boring drills? Maybe they don't see bigger picture or the point of it all? My child has expressed such frustration to me the past couple of years. Any effort to show the rele in the real word is commendable and so thank you for trying to enlighten these children. They respond to older students more than their parents! I'm looking forward to future topics!
