Pen and Brush Learning Studio

I came here for SAT I tutoring and after going my score went from 1810 to 2140. Mr. Chu is very thorough with his material and he is also very knowledgeable. He runs through many different types of essay topics that help broaden your range and your writing ability.

Loved this place. Mr. Chu is the owner and a legimate teacher that runs this studio. It has many services, so I’ll rate each one based on my kid’s and my experiences:
1. SAT I & II tutoring:
During high school I’ve tried many tutoring places, and I can’t believe this is the only place that raised my SAT score by the HUNDREDS. I was referred here by a friend, and I really attribute Pen & Brush in helping me get into my #1 pick for college (go UCBerkeley!).
2. Math tutoring:
My kid had no trouble in Calculus, Trig, or Geometry because of their tutor. I first went to Elite because they were cheaper, but my kid’s grades were still struggling, so I sent my kid here. Next thing I knew, my son passed the AP Calc exam with a 5.
3. Art Classes:
Not the typical babysitting, draw Disney cartoons crap. This place is the real deal with water color, oil painting, etc. My friends and I take our kids here, and the kids like that they can chat amongst their friends while learning multiple art skills (that part’s for the parents haha).
4. Grammar Classes:
A class I’ll never forget. The teacher was very strict but taught me what my middle school teachers SHOULD have taught me. It was a one-​on-​one course which was a little pricey but worth it since it helped on my SATs.
CONCLUSION:
PRO = Results. Teachers and tutors put in 110% effort.
CON = A tad on the pricey side because there were real teachers, but cheaper than Sylvan learning centers.
