Classroom Matters

Classroom Matters is a fantastic resource for academic support and mentoring. Our teenage son was struggling badly in public high school and getting lousy grades. We sent him to Classroom Matters for weekly tutoring, he also goes every afternoon after school to do his homework during supervised study. His grades have improved dramatically, they’ve taught him executive function skills, and his tutor has helped him so much with understanding the schoolwork and finishing the homework. The people at CM are familiar with BUSD curricula and curricula in other school districts, they’re great with kids of all ages, and they make them feel comfortable and capable. We’re so glad Classroom Matters is in our community — we can’t recommend it highly enough!

I highly recommend Classroom Matters in Berkeley. My son, a 10^th grader at Oakland Tech, is greatly benefiting from their individual tutoring support and Supervised Study program. At Classroom Matters, you can expect to have the brightest minds working with your 9^th grader, AND you will be greatly supported by their entire staff. It is clear that their mission is to empower students to reach their greatest potential and therefore you will not have to worry about any sales pitches or pushing of products. Their programs are effective and affordable, and the environment is safe and completely geared towards the achievement of academic goals.

This place is the best. My son needed academic help about 5 or 6 years ago, and they were recommended to me back then. Classroom Matters chose an excellent tutor for my son and he really enjoyed going there. Years later when my daughter was having troubling assimilating to high school I thought to call Classroom Matters. Sure enough they zeroed in on the problem and helped her feel good about herself and get focused. She is a sophomore now and never wants to leave. She truly enjoys going. She told me it helps her stay focused, and she strives to do well so she won’t disappoint her tutor. I thought that was interesting that she said that. It shows the type of relationship they have developed. Her tutor is a fabulous role model and my daughter definitely has someone she trusts to go to for help. I think the key to their success is choosing the correct tutor based on the personality and needs of the child. They do a great job. The program is completely tailored to the needs of the child. It is not a cookie cutter program. One size does not fit all, and Classroom Matters knows that. I highly recommend them.

Surprisingly there are a zillion reviews of every possible weirdo variant service outlet in Berkeley, but nothing about a genuinely useful one, Classroom Matters. Maybe this is a reflection of the Unilocal demographics.
Anyway, CM provides coaching/​tutoring for K-​12 kids. Over the several years that I’ve used their services I’ve found CM management to be very good at matching kids with appropriate tutors/​coaches in a variety o9f subjects. The help CM has provided has made a clear, positive difference. Top marks.
