TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR PARENTS

We enrolled our son in Reading and Logic online classes and we can only say great things about Alphaminds Academy. Ms Arielle and Ms Tatiana are amazing teachers and persons, they always found a way to keep kids engaged and learning new things every class. My son learned A LOT with both classes, he is reading, adding, subtracting and even learned about fractions and more...! Alphaminds did a great job 🏽 We are so happy with all the staff.

I just wanted to give you some feedback and let you know I had a couple parents came in today and told me how much they enjoyed the chess tournament!! What a great opportunity for the children. 

Leatrice Westdal,

Auxiliary Programs Coordinator, Stevens Cooperative School

 

Overall, I think the program is vital for young minds. Programs like these provide the necessary tools kids need both short term and long term to be successful in their personal and professional life. 

Ashworth C. (mother of 4 year old)

AlphaMinds is a God sent.  Its teachers are nurturing and try their best to help children become the best they can be.  It's the best choice I've made for my son in his academics.

Math: His Math class is amazing, my son has learned and progressed so uch because of his teacher's hard work and kind loving nature.  He loves math and it's now his favorite subject. Than you, Ms. Beth!

Chess: I am so happy I made the choice to have my son study chess at this school.  His teachers are great and they teach him to focus and think ahead. My son is calmer and makes great choices as he applies it to life.

Programming/Scratch: This is a great class.  My son has progressed with his use of the computers and is begining to understand what hard work is.   He has to work harder at this class because his teacher challenges him to be his best.

Kim L.. (mother of 2nd grader)

We are very satisfied with (Logic PreK II) class.  Our daughter has consistently improved in Math and we see great interest to go back every week. We are grateful for this program and our ability to develop our child here.  Will continue on for sure!

Tatiana D. (mother of 5 yo)

AlphaMinds Academy consistently presents a well run collection of quality enrrichment instruction for a wide variety of children, and my family is pleased to participate.  Our son continues to enjoy chess and to expand his skills through this class.  The teacher's approach reaches him in a unique way that sinks in deeply"

Olga S. and Brian D. (parents of 6 yo)

My daughter enjoyed learning to use Scratch.  She talks about what she learns and is very proud of the projects she's created.  She's been very engaged and has had a lot of fun learning to code.  Carlin gives it a thumbs up!

Judi F. (mother of 1st grader)

Our son is very happy with his class (Math) and with his teacher.  He loves coming here, doing the homework and learning new things every week.  Thank you!

Patrycja Z. (mother of 2nd grader)

The homework portal is great.  The facilities are conducive to concentration.  Saff is very friendly and accomodating.  Ms. Beth (Math teacher) is a warm and encouraging teacher.  My daughter has truly enjoyed her classes.

Rebecca M. (mother of 5th grader)

This is a great program!  Gives your kid a foundation, knowledge and confidence to excel at Math

Ligia A. (mother of 4th grader)

This program is a God sent.  Very warm, very inclusive and very friendly.  Makes a difference for every student who sticks with AlphaMinds.  Ms. Lauren (Essay Writing teacher) makes the writing fun and easy, and she managed to open up even the most resistant kids (like mine) to joy of writing. 

Jack K. (father of 4th grader)

Truly, this is one of a kind program in Jersey City

Vinay K. (father of 4th grader)

AlphaMinds is a wonderful enrichment program with prepared teachers and administrators.  They utilize the best methods to aide your child in their learning process. The language and teaching method has been engaging and easy for my child to understand.  I am impressed with the concepts that my son has learned that are above his grade level.  The course methodology goes at an appropriate pace for my son to truly establish a foundation for understanding numbers.  The administrators are very communicative and friendly. The course schedule is always at the times that are manageable.

Christy J. (mother of 3 yo and 6 yo)

Great (Math) teacher. Hard to find better.

Nenad D. (father of 3rd grader)

I highly recommend this Singapore Math program.  It allows for condensed weekly instruction in a small class setting. Worboks are engaging and based on a skill level.  The class keeps my son engaged and allows opportunity for review and additional practice of critical concepts.  It does teach the "Singapore way" which is a more effective way to arrive at a solution.  I like the flexibility of the class in that the teacher will encourage you to move forward at a faster pace if desired.  The course is not too stringent that it turns the student off from Math.  The communication between teacher, parent and director is very good.  Everyone is open and approachable... My son looks forward to each class.

Heather E. (mother of  1st grader)

 

Great teachers, high quality instructions, nice facilities, effective management

Katya S. (mom of  3rd grader)

Nadia Jensen (mom of a 4 year old)

My child is learning a lot and the communication between parents and teacher is very good.

Hitin A. (father of K student)

School management is terrific. Very professional. Russian for Emerging Readers classes are vigorous but the results are evident.  We love that the teachers assign homework. Ms. Oksana ( Russian for Pre-Schoolers teacher) is very animated which is important for kids 3-4 years old. The curriculum is carried and includes lots of vocabulary and logic exercises.

Natalya G. (mom of 3 yo and 6 yo)

Thrilled!!! Challenging and rewarding Russian language curriculum - the right combination of both. Very engaging for students. Vital experience for gaining study habits, time management and discipline.

Irian P.  (mother of 3 yo and 6 yo)

Our children have attended Russian and Chess classes at AlphaMinds Academy for 3 years.  We notice a lot of improvement in their knowledge with each semester.  We continued to attend AlphaMinds Academy on Saturdays even after we moved out of Jersey City/Hoboken area!

Elina B. (mother of 1 y.o.)

I am happy that this year, my son has attanded AlphaMinds Academy.  We found many friends here.

Julia I. (mother of 6 yo)

I see a lot of progress over the course of the last year.  The class (Russian I) is engaging, based on deep hands on experience and understanding of kids' psychology.

Very strong Russian program, with the "old" rigor and "modern" approach to teaching

Igor S. (father of  3y.o. and 6 y.o.)

 

My son has been attending Russian PreK Enrichment class in Hoboken for about a year now. Ms Tanya is a wonderful teacher with a warm and approachable manner. I like the range of topics covered in class. My son often surprises me with words he learned there. I hope to enroll my younger daughter soon as well. It's wonderful to have access to this class right in our backyard. I hope it will continue being an option in the future and maybe even get extended for older kids? 

Anya C. (mother of 4y.o.)

 

We really like AlphaMinds Academy. Anna, the director, is super organized and attentive to every student/parent. She listens to parents' requests and offers a well planned curriculum matched with great teachers. The new space at the Boys and Girls club is very nice. It's brand new, with large sunlit classrooms.  

Our daughter is currently enrolled in Russian I (Emerging Readers) with Ms Natasha. This class has been wonderful. As Ms Natasha promised in the beginning of the class, our 4.5 year old daughter is reading and writing by the end of the session. Ms Natasha has a great teaching method and the right approach with all the kids in her class. It's obvious that teaching is her passion and that she loves kids. It's a bonus that parents are welcome in the class, which helps us study with our child using the same method and terminology during the week, solidifying the lesson and preparing our child for the next class. 

We look forward to continue learning with AlphaMinds Academy!

Nadia V. (mother of 4 y.o.)

Positively engaging, enthusiastic teachers who put a smile in every class.

Daniil S. (father of 5 yo)

 

This school with its Russian lessons is what I really need for my kids. Thank you!

Kira E. (mother of 6 yo and 8 yo)

 

AlphaMinds Academy has provided a solid foundation for my daughter to learn Russian.

Keisha A. (mother of 5 yo)

 

После нескольких лет перерыва в изучении русского языка моя дочь захотела вернуться в группу, соответствующую ее уровню и возрастной группе. Было трудно найти. Мы попробовали несколько учителей и программ, и ни одна из них не работала, пока мы не начали работать с Alpha Minds и Татьяной Петровой.  Татьяна нашла правильный подход и уровень строгости для моей дочери. Она занималась с ней хе только грамматикой и чтением, но также темами искусства, поэзии и истории. Благодаря этим занятиям интерес моей дочери к русскому языку и культуре вырос настолько, что теперь мы снова можем говорить дома по-русски. И это большой подвиг!

Юлия З. (mother of 15 yo)
