Testimonials
"We have been using the Academic & Wellness Center for a few years now and have seen our daughter excel in Spanish. When we started, the school's closed and our daughter was slipping behind from the Zoom program the schools had to offer. Academic & Wellness Center brought her up to grade level and beyond. She really enjoys the environment and is excited to go every week."
The Ferry Family
"Thanks to the Academic & Wellness Center the reading levels of my son and daughter have greatly improved. Before attending tutoring services with the Academic & Wellness Center, my children did not like to read. Now thanks to the work of the Academic & Wellness Staff, my children's confidence in their reading skills has improved and they now enjoy reading. As a parent there is nothing that makes me more happy than to se my children thrive and that's why I highly recommend the Academic & Wellness Center to other parents who are looking for additional academic support for their children."
Claudia Valencia
"Our eight year old has been receiving tutoring services for the last year with the Academic & Wellness Center. We have found the guidance and support he has received there extremely beneficial toward his learning of a second language, while allowing him to continue to build on his first language. Staff are kind and amiable. Staff clearly communicates with parents and guardians. We value this service, and look forward to having our child continue to attend."

"The Academic and Wellness Center has provided an amazing opportunity for my son to receive support in reading and writing. During the pandemic, my son fell behind. Because of this great service, my son is now at grade level and excelling in reading. I love that my son is able to receive support in both English and Spanish and that Ms. Estefania Hernandez consistently provides parents with updates on our student’s progress. Ms. Estefania is dedicated, nurturing, and supportive in her interaction with students. This is an amazing program and I highly recommend it."

"Academic & Wellness Center has been a blessing to my family. They have worked with my daughters at their respective academic levels. One of my daughters is able to work solely with them in Spanish, helping with some of the learning loss that occurred over distance learning. Estefania and Elvia are knowledgeable and organized, with material and skills that can help any student. I hope to have my children work with Academic & Wellness Center for years to come."

“La razón por la cual busqué ayuda con servicios de tutoría fue porque mi hijo batallaba con sus áreas académicas, específicamente en las áreas de inglés. Antes de comenzar con la tutoría a mi hijo se le hacía difícil la lectura en inglés y participar en la clase por que su autoestima estaba baja; el se preocupaba mucho de su pronunciación en ingles. Después de comenzar con la tutoría he notado que se siente con más confianza de sí mismo; tiene más confianza con su lectura y está participando más en la escuela. Recientemente obtuve sus nuevos niveles de lectura y ha subido a su nivel de grado. Otro logro que ha obtenido mi hijo este año con la ayuda del centro Academic & Wellness es que después de varios años, este año se reclasificará. Mi hijo me ha comentado que le gusta asistir a tutoría porque su tutora platica con él conversaciones en inglés. Siempre está entusiasmado de ir a tutoría.”
“The reason I sought help with tutoring services was because my son was struggling with his academic areas, specifically in the areas of English. Before starting tutoring, my son found it difficult to read in English and participate in class because his self-esteem was low; He cared a lot about his English pronunciation. After starting the tutoring services, I have noticed that he feels more confident in himself; He is more confident with his reading and is participating more in school. He recently got his new reading levels and has moved up to his grade level. Another achievement that my son has achieved this year with the help of the Academic & Wellness Center is that after several years, this year he will be reclassified. My son has told me that he likes to attend tutoring because he can practice his English with his tutor. He is always excited to go to tutoring.”
