Our 5-year-old loves it here! His teachers and all of the staff are extremely kind and loving. He has learned so much, and we’re so happy he’s at Smart Start. The ESL tutoring has been particularly helpful in boosting his language skills. A big, BIG thanks to the whole team—we know it hasn’t been easy managing during these times, but we see and greatly appreciate all your efforts!

Both my son and daughter have joined Step Up Academy tutoring center, and they really appreciate the teaching practices. They mentioned that the tutors are well-educated and knowledgeable. The teaching techniques, especially in English tutoring, are quite unique and much easier to understand compared to traditional schools. I have never seen my kids this excited about studying. Thanks to Step Up Academy!

Step Up Academy is an amazing place. I am so grateful they accepted my child. My daughter is currently learning math and English, and she has been attending since September 2023. She talks about it all the time and loves doing the work. I give them 100 out of 100. They have given my daughter the confidence and strength to get up and want to learn. She may struggle in certain areas, but they have the patience and professionalism to work with her. I am so happy with Alexander, and I am looking forward to a long-term relationship here. 😍 Thank you for accepting my daughter as she is, not giving up on her, and helping her strengthen her fine motor skills and tracing. 💓💓💓💓 Thank you, thank you!
