A great modus operandi (or method) for a superior SAT score is to prepare in a study group setting. That's why IvySmart offers SAT tutoring and test prep to help high school students achieve higher scores on the test. But before we get into the benefits of SAT tutoring at IvySmart and the type of test prep groups we offer, it's important to understand what the SAT is and why it's important for high school students to get a good score.
At Ivy, we supplement the education of ESL and international students. We have many international students visit our location within the past 20 years, whether they are in America for just a visit or decide to continue their education stateside. We supplement international students with an education that aides them in both written and spoken English.
The summer experience at Ivy doesn't end in the classroom; we also offer an incredible recreational experience that includes drawing, arts and crafts, indoor activities, and BBQs in the park. With an even balance of academic excellence and outdoor activities, we have an incredible summertime experience in store for you!
I was struggling with Spanish at school and hardly maintained a "B". I've tried other tutoring places but they were pretty confusing. A friend told me about Ivy, so I came and checked out their individual tutoring service. I was blown away how well the tutor helped me grasp this subject for the first time.

My kids were behind because the COVID quarantine. IvySmart helped my kids catch-up in 3 months. I am glad that my friend whose son have been with them for years recommended me this place. I appreciate everything they have done for my kids.

Worst place to ever take your child too!!. I have a struggling child who needs an extra push I said why not they have good reviews!.my child is only 6 years old and she was left in a classroom by her self no one teaching her!! .(they are a ripped off ). This place is a joke they are not properly staff and they refuse to give me a full discount when my daughter was always by herself for three days . They tried to lied to me and the teacher that was teaching her according to them was also doing zoom meetings.for almost 2,000 dollars they charge it is a complete joke

Before we found Ivy Smart, my son was miserable doing his school work at home. He's in 1st grade and does not enjoy all the Zoom classes. Since going to Ivy Smart, he's like a different kid, much happier.
He does his Zoom class and all school work at Ivy Smart and they've helped keep him on track. They were also able to work in additional school work packets to supplement his school work which has been very helpful. He's getting more out of those Ivy Smart packets than some of the curriculum at school. They've also done a great job with keeping close tabs on his savvy computer

I would highly recommend IVY Smart School. I have a 9 year old and although he is very independent and can do all his school work, I needed something a little extra to help him learn more than the what he was given at school. Ivy helps him with his homework daily and he is also instructed by IVY in high level math, reading, spelling and writing . I have noticed that my son has excelled in math 1 level grade up and his writing has improved a lot. Monet, the director, keeps us informed about my sons progress or if they have any concerns. Also, he is in a private classroom with 1 other student, always

IvySmart Education really knows how to guide each student's needs. During the school closure, they are even providing online interactive academic classes! School instruction has been really lacking ever since the quarantine, and IvySmart has provided a structure for continue a student's studies. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you to all the teachers at IvySmart for giving my child a great start for the upcoming school year! My middle schooler enrolled in the summer program and now he has the confidence to tackle all his classes. Also, thank you to Ms. Monet for keeping us updated to our child's progress.

I am very glad that my kids have been to IvySmart for a couples of years. They know exactly what parents need. Due to the COVID-19, they adjust the regular classes to online interactive classes. I really appreciate it because the online classes are just as good as before; furthermore, they add more classes and didn't even ask for us to pay. My kids are learning more stuff since they have more time at home; the online things are keeping them busy and engaged.

Ivy is a great tutoring center. Competent and very friendly teachers, helpful staff, transportation between schools and quick communication. I like how they cultivate a sense of responsibility and organization in the kids. They really help my daughter to get ahead of the middle school program.

Coming over the summer was so much fun! I remember my parents bringing me here during middle school, and I made so many friends. They have fun activities like barbecues, field trips, and Wii.
In the mornings, we would study math and English. The material was kind of hard, but it helped make work during the school year much easier. The English teachers would go over vocabulary and help with essay writing. The math teachers would teach us how to do problems and give us practice.
In the afternoons, we did some more work, but there was a lot of recreational activities. Ivy is a great place to hang

This is the best summer academic school in South Bay. They no only teach ahead for English and Math, they got fantastic field trip, Northrup Gurman for their science field trip. My kids saw the billion dollar space telescope. So cool!

I was at Ivy for about two years doing one-on-one tutoring. The AP Bio tutor was very nice to me, and I'm pretty satisfied with the English tutoring; my essays for AP Lang improved ever since I started tutoring. I didn't attend the summer program, but I heard that's also really good, too.

Going to Ivy League School as a little boy was the best.
I came here when I was in middle school, a shy, quiet, and
lazy student who didn't care too much about school. Ivy
really changed me in that aspect. In fact, I actually met
some people here who would become some of my best friends.

Ivy isn't just a place where you can study and do homework.
It's a home for many kids who need help with school but also
want to make the best out of it. I still remember going to
fun field trips like Knott's Berry Farm and Soak City with
my friends there. But to say that my academic progress

My girls have attended Ivy's summer camp for over 3 years now. Ms. Monet and her staff genuinely care about the wellbeing of the "whole child". As our children grow up in this very complicated world now, they will likely go through some struggles both emotionally and academically. For a child who needed more emotional support and guidance, Ms. Monet was always there ready to help. For a child who appreciates advanced learning, Ms. Monet set up special plan to help the child reach her full potential and goals. I'm thrilled to have received such individualized services for

Ms. Monet, Mr. Gary, and Mr. Harris have helped me tremendously over the years. I've had positive experiences here. The staff has always been professional, on-time, helpful, insightful, and generous. They work with you! They meet your student where he or she is and if your student is receptive, they WILL be successful! I've learned a great deal as a parent having invested time as well as exposing my students to IVY. We have many years until we reach the finish line and IVY will be an asset on our educational journey. We are looking forward to Introduction Chinese class this summer! Thanks

My two kids attended Ivy Summer smart camp last year. They enjoyed it very much. The academic program and literature appreciation program were both great! The staff is very friendly. When my daughter needed help for some math problems, her teacher Mr. Mike was so helpful with explaining. He even spent extra time at the school for her. I appreciated that very much. They also loved the Friday field trips so much! My kids told me they enjoyed summer so much last year they want to go to Ivy again this year. We are so looking forward for another year of learning and fun this coming summer!

Not sure why people give this place good review. This is strictly a review for the summer program. This place is very old and dingy. There is no ventilation and is extremely hot in the classrooms. Except for a couple of the staff, majority think they are certified teachers and don't know a thing about teaching. In fact I don't see them teaching any fundamentals here. They expect the students to know it and don't know the difference between being stern and yelling. They punish kids by not letting them eat their lunch because they didn't finish their class work and give

For both working parents, I think Ivy School is a pretty good choice.
They helped my daughter finish homework and give her extra practice for English and Math.
I basically just picked her up after work and didn't have to worry too much about her school.
But every once in a while I will call and make sure they are taking care of her but they always do a phenomenal job
