When my grandchild fell behind in school, I consulted with his teacher to see if some tutoring might help him. She recommended the Tutoring Center. We first interviewed one of the other large tutoring companies. I was turned off by 1) the employee who greeted us (one of the instructors) did not seem to know much about the program and did not leave a good first impression 2) the head instructor left a better impression, but we were turned off by the strong emphasis on parental teaching (versus the tutoring company teaching) and 3) the 7 day per week expectations. We all need a break! We then interviewed at The Tutoring Center of Upland. What a breath of fresh air! We were greeted by Joseph Tran, the Director of this center. He was very welcoming and gracious. He professionally described the program and obviously fully understood the program and communicated very well. We liked the 2 or 3 day per week program, with the center carrying the load, versus the parents. Our child then was introduced to an instructor, RJ, who conducted his assessment. We and our child was extremely happy with the way the assessment was conducted and came away happy with the process and his tutor/child interaction. We signed up to the program and after the first session our child said “I have a new best friend” (the instructor). What a recommendation! We have been very happy with our entire experience at the Tutoring Center of Upland. Mr. Tran is very good at communicating and staying connected with the parents through frequent texts or/or emails. You won’t be disappointed, and most importantly, you child will love the experience and will be learning!
Joseph and the rest of the staff at The Tutoring Center have been extremely professional and helpful. My daughter struggled with math during her entire 7th grade year. Going into her 8th grade year, I decided to get her some help. The Tutoring Center first had her take an intake test to see where she needed help. She started working with a tutor for a 1 hour session, twice a week. The session times have been flexible, allowing her to make practices for sports, and schedule a session the day before a test. The Tutors were able to see what she was working on in class, and work with her on similar material. When she has a test, we have been able to schedule a study session the day before so she and her tutor can concentrate solely on test preparation. After consistently failing 7th grade tests, my daughter has done extremely well on her tests, and has maintained an A/B average so far in 8th grade math. Using The Tutor Center was definitely the right decision for us. Thank You!
At the beginning of my senior year, I enrolled in AP Calculus AB and found myself needing extra help to understand and perfect certain topics. The Tutoring Center has been an absolutely vital resource in my success with such supporting and capable staff members. Less than a week after I called, I was immediately able to trial and begin attending sessions, one of the best decisions I have made for academic success! Staff members such as Ms. Kayla have been great mentors and supporters, offering stellar explanations and helping me become more confident in my calculus abilities. Following my AP exam, I am more than confident that my success has been due to the guidance I have received here, I would recommend The Tutoring Center to anyone!
I can’t say enough amazing things about Joseph Tran and the staff at The Tutoring Center. My daughter is currently in first grade and was struggling with reading and decoding. We started January of 2024 and just recently had her assessment in May of 2024. Her reading/decoding level went up 3 grades along with her confidence in her handwriting. The curriculum that is used here is the best I have seen, with no iPads being used. I highly recommend everyone to have an assessment at The Tutoring Center.
My son has been going to the Tutoring Center for several years. We can not speak highly enough about our experience with Joseph and the rest of the staff. My son went from a struggling math learner to a high achiever in his math courses. They have impacted my son’s learning experience in such a positive way. My son struggled through math in his early years of school and he is now going into the accelerated math program in middle school with the help of The Tutoring Center. They go above and beyond by creating individual lesson plans for my son and always take the time to accommodate his learning style. They have truly made a huge impact on my son’s success in school. We will forever be grateful for all the hard work Joseph and the rest of the tutors have put into helping our son.
