A supervised homework hour where kids work through assignments with a credentialed teacher circulating to help as needed. It's a lifesaver for parents whose after-school pickup doesn't leave time for homework battles at home. Snacks provided, phones put away.

Two different instructors in one month made it hard to build any momentum. Still better than nothing for our schedule, so we're sticking with it for now.
We tried two other places in the Valley before this one and nothing compares. She came home with a jump in reading level the teacher actually noticed and she wouldn't stop talking about it.
The class felt pretty chaotic with that many kids and just one instructor. Hoping it's just a rough patch because the concept is great.
We tried two other places in the Valley before this one and nothing compares. She came home with an actual homework routine that sticks and she wouldn't stop talking about it. Mr. Nathaniel is wonderful with her whole group.
Best class we've found in the Valley, hands down. He came home with a genuine love of reading that wasn't there before and he wouldn't stop talking about it. I bring my younger one along and she colors at the front desk while we wait. Worth every credit.
Honestly didn't expect this much enthusiasm from her. She came home with real progress on fractions that had been a nightmare all year and she wouldn't stop talking about it. My older one has practice next door so this timing works out perfectly for us.
We tried two other places in the Valley before this one and nothing compares. He came home with a first real chapter book finished cover to cover and he wouldn't stop talking about it. Already signed up for the next session.
Honestly didn't expect this much enthusiasm from her. She came home with a study plan used now without being asked and she wouldn't stop talking about it. Parking in the Commons lot in Calabasas is a hike from the studio but it's fine. We recommend it to every parent we know.
