ThinkTank Learning

This place is amazing. I have been coming here for 5 months, and their services have been top notch.
They prepared me extremely well for the ACT and SAT subject tests, and they are always very professional.
I love this place, and especially Sarah! Sarah tutors with English and writing– she does a very good job of it, and she really improved my writing skills over the two months that I worked with her.
Thank you, ThinkTank!

This center offers a variety of classes that help to prep middle school and high school kids for their upcoming school years. The tutors all hold advanced degrees in different academic areas. They have English class, Math and sciences, AP classes, SAT/​ACT pre test classes. They also help prepare you for college, as well as, help you fill out your college applications.

BEWARE OF THEIR OPERATION… This institution takes advantage of foreigners that feel insecure about navigating through the US school process. Their cost is very high compared to the value and quality of what they bring… Much of the things they teach or advise on is available everywhere (like the students’ high school)… Regarding the tutors, based on what i hear from my 17 year old is that they are NOT GOOD. They eat during one-​on-​one tutoring sessions, and starts talking to other people during the time they are tutoring.
After writing a check for $ 14,000 dollars for what seems to be an expensive package for counseling and tutoring hours, my child decided after 2 – 3 hours that the tutoring was not good. So we elected to find someone else… We made this decision a week after the tutoring started, but now it’s been over a month and they refuse to refund us the money. Here’s what they said in one of my emails asking for status on the refund.
«Hi Ingrid,
As I informed you last month, the refund needs to be approved by headquarter of Think Tank Learning. (REALLY?)
As a matter of fact, ThinkTank has very rare refund cases (THIS SUGGESTS THAT THIS S A SCAM). They will look into the contract and collect the facts regarding the refund decision, amount and refund situation (WE LITERALLY CANCELLED WITHIN A WEEK AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO BREAK THE COST DOWN. — SCAM)
It normally takes about 1 month to a quarter for the decision and amount depending on the situation.
We will keep you updated as soon as we can. Thank you!
