Most of them have profiles of the owners and of their team posted on their websites. I would start there. Some of them are exceedingly qualified, others not so much.

Lots of kids come to this center and the ratio is completely off of supervision versus the kids showing up for studying. Highly rated on google but actual experience was quite scam-ish.

Thanks.

I used to work at one. The most shady, fraudulent, NOT research-based or educational-background organization I have ever been associated with. The dude who started that branch could not multiply or divide, and he was entrusted to tutor math. There's no pedagogy or successful- proven methods, just worksheets.

The Mclean one is great. I’ve gotten feedback on another one that was lukewarm though.
