I have been an employee of Academic Playground opened. I love working here, it is a very fulfilling job.
At Academic Playground, I work with parents giving them information and answering any questions they may have about our program before getting them started on the road to tutoring with us. I also work with some of the students, tutoring them and tracking their progress on a weekly basis. It is the best feeling to see their eyes light up in understanding of a new concept.
All of the tutors are great! We have a large range of tutors ranging from college students, college graduates, and professionals including teachers and counselors. Everyone on the team is very educated and experienced. There is a wealth of knowledge for the students to tap into and a large network of tutors available to meet the student’s needs. I have seen tutors go out of their way to be there for the students and spend extra time and attention helping the students.
The management is also extremely nice, welcoming, and experienced. They know what they are talking about and truly care about the progress and success of the student above all else.
The pricing is very affordable and reasonable especially for the quality of tutors and services you are recieving. The center will also evaluate your child’s current strengths and weaknesses by offering free assessment testing. Academic Playground also provides in home tutoring for your own convenience as well. There are laptops and books/​resources available for students use in our center for research or to type of their essays/​assignments.
This is a great place to bring your kids and get them started on a path to a confident future– it’s never too late to start but every little bit that we can help our kids makes a big difference. I would definitely recommend this place to all my friends and family and I will definitely bring my children here to learn when they grow up.
