For profit tutoring company that is essentially a glorified phonics and reading comprehension cram school for children whose parents can afford the 140 dollar an hour tuition. They have all these studies they love to tout that proves its efficacy, but it's essential thus: if you take a pretest designed to test what they want to test and you study for four hours a day for six weeks somewhat assiduously, you will improve on said tests-doesn't matter if is phonics, comp, or underwater basket weaving. As for the techniques they are annoying and soul crushing for any poor student to do four hours straight. Air writing 4 syllable nonsense words over and over is an example of pointless cruelty. A question that is seldom asked, but far more essential after any instruction is: "has the child increased his or her love of learning?", but alas we live in an age where education is test scores and a means to an end. I fear that the student will associate all future school and learning with a tedious and joyless experience that is offered to them here.
They also pay their clinicians close to min wage, make them sign a contract forbidding them to tutor anywhere else, and will make you feel that you are quite expendable. Just awful.
