  My child had a horrible experience with a tutor there. Ulysses took 1 hour to complete only 8 math problems with him! ( my child is not a bad math student). When I tried to talk to him about it you could tell he was not happy that I was questioning why it would take so long.
  
  That same day I left my child there to do his 1 hour
  session. While my child wanted me to sit in and watch I decided to not to. I gave them space to work. ( I've only sat in one time to try to figure out why work wasn't getting done).
  
  As I was in the office talking to the office manager Ulysses came storming in talking almost screaming at my child to come in and explain the problem right now in front of me to your mom. My child had tears start to well up in his eyes and was terribly uncomfortable as was I. I could not believe how he was talking to my child! When I finally got my child to speak openly I could not believe what he called my child. Ulysses admitted to calling my child lazy ( because my child was saying there has to be a short cut in the math problem they were working on). My older child sometimes tells him not to do all the works he's doing that he over does it!!! Hence a short cut!!! Then Ulysses calls him arrogant and last but not least boastful. Mind you they worked together over the summer and for the first part of this year. My son started to want me to sit in on the session and now I see why. He spoke to me in a very aggressive manner right in front of the lady that works in the front office. She walked out after the first few minutes. I was shocked that they would allow an employee to speak to a customer the way he was speaking to me but most importantly how aggressive and intimidating he was speaking to my child.
  
  I believe that he did not like me questioning why the homework wasn't getting done and decided to take it out on my child!!! The lady at the front desk didn't condone his actions and did apologized however she did not stop his terrible behavior while it was taking place.
  
  I can't imagine if I wasn't there how my child would have felt.
  
  I asked for the owners information and she told me that they are not involved. They are random investors and I could email her but she couldn't give me their info she didn't have it! I said I would find it on my own!
  
  I would never let my child go back to this tutor I would not feel like he's in a safe healthy environment.
  There's absolutely no reason you should talk to a small child like this!!! Walk out of the room if your frustrated be a grown up! My child said it was much worse in the room and I found it strange that he usually left the door open but it was closed when I came that session. I wish I had walked in.
  
  They have cameras but no sound so when I asked her to play back the video she said it wouldn't help since there's no sound!!!!!!
  
  We shall see how they handle this inappropriate situation!
