My daughter has been going to Khan's tutorial for a couple of years now at the Astoria location. She is presently in the Pre-SHSAT program as an incoming 7th grader to take the SHSAT test in the fall of her 8th grade, and she is doing so on a full scholarship. Please understand that the fact she has received a full scholarship does not change my evaluation of the program( I include this information as a means of full disclosure). If I did not think that this program would help my daughter achieve her educational goals, I would have said so regardless of whether she received the scholarship or not and she would not be in the program. I will try to explain what this program is and what it is not.
This program allows motivated, focused students WITH parent support to achieve all the goals they set for themselves and more. What it is NOT is a shortcut to having an unfocused, unmotivated child reach beyond their goals. As with any good chef, you have to start with good ingredients. If you have a child that has goals and motivation and she/he is willing to put the work in at home to practice to achieve the goals, this is a great program. But if you think paying for tutoring for a child that is unwilling to put their effort and time in to achieve will be successful you are living a dream.
I have found that the tutors are well prepared with the materials and are caring and very respectful of the students and parents. The tutors have constant and continuous contact with parents that want the interaction on a per session basis. You just need to visit at the end of any session, and you will find the tutors discussing with each parent the work performed for that session with strengths and weaknesses and are given recommendations. What the parent and child do with that information is up to them. The critical educational assessment for that session is given in a manner most favorable to the feelings of the child.
My child has received 4's since 3rd grade in both Math and Ela, and she has also been in a gifted program since kindergarten. Most parents would have thought that she should not be in need of tutoring and they are probably correct. We have participated in the tutoring at our own cost and expense because education is a life time experience that enhances good self-esteem which leads to further success in school. Not all programs are good for all students as each child learns differently. My recommendation is to give them a visit and evaluate for yourself, the location Manager Jeba will answer any questions you may have to help you decide if this program is the right fit for your child, it has been for...
Β Β Β Read moreKhans Astoria..., Where to begin? Iβm going to be completely honest, transferring from Jackson Heights has been one of the greatest decisions of my life. The tutors, specifically Hasif Ahmed and Abed Islam have helped my growth as a student exponentially. Hasif is a brilliant teacher that knows what he is teaching and he does everything in his ability to help his students achieve success. The manager, Azima Miah, has also helped her students by monitoring their progression in the class and giving suggestions and advice to her kids. Both Ryan Biswas of KT Jackson Heights and Azima Miah are great managers, however you can see Azima cares about her kids by motivating them and at the same time trying to make KT enjoyable. Overall, I would say that KT Astoria is great environment for kids of all grades and I would highly recommend it to parents who are considering to place their kids at...
Β Β Β Read morei really like this place because our teachers are always there for us and they are always ready to help. i also love that if you don't understand something you can tell the teacher and he/she would help you with it. In khans teacher wont yell at you or do anything bad they will always try to help you. For example my teacher Rafsan Hamid he always says "even if you need help with the easiest thing just tell me to help you". If you really get the questions then they will say wow! you are very smart.
