What more happy clients have to say!
I
once again would like to thank you for coordinating the Sign Language
class for Lane Elementary for the spring 2013 session. The children
learned a lot, and Amanda was a wonderful teacher. I would like to have
sign language on the schedule again for the fall. In addition, I would
like to request the following: Conflict Resolution and Communication
Skills, Friendship Basics, Money Management, Ethics 101: Great Debates.
Thank you.

I
wanted to send you a quick note regarding our first tutoring session
today. Meaghan worked with my children today and did a great job. The
kids were excited because with Meaghan's help they were able to get
through all of their homework and do a great job. When I looked over my
son's homework, he said it was the first time I had ever checked his
homework and he had no mistakes!
Thanks,
Rhonda Stewart
Just
to let you know that about two weeks ago I sent out a request for
feedback to the families of the students who participate in all the
after-school programs.
I received back several emails from your
student's parents saying how much they truly enjoyed your Anime class
and how much they look forward to attending.
Thank you for all your hard work! Stay Safe!

Camp is going great for the kids. Joey got Gavin to write a 4-sentence summary, which is a feat in and of itself!
My
friend Moon is interested in math enrichment tutoring for her
8-year-old since Montgomery County is no longer pulling advanced math
students out to work in a separate classroom.

Dr. Webbink - we all send you lots and lots of love. You are dearly missed.
:-) Best, Mary
It
has been a pleasure working with you and The Enrichment Centers for all
these years; and I very much hope that you will return next school year
to teach at North Bethesda Middle School in our after school program.
The kids really loved all your classes!
Thanks very much!

Dr. Webbink - You and your staff at The Enrichment Centers are very special to my son, Allen and our entire family.

Thanks
so much for the amazing Anime class you taught to our North Bethesda
Middle School students in session #3!! They REALLY loved it! Great job!
I hope you'll join us next year again.

I
just wanted to let you know that Natalie is REALLY enjoying her anime
classes on Friday afternoons at Two Rivers. I am very pleased that you
were able to bring that program to her school.
I would love for Natalie to be able to have an "empowered learning" session this summer.
Please
pass on to your anime instructor that he is very appreciated by the
students. I know Natalie really looks forward to the class because of
her excitement level on Friday mornings before school.
Anyway,
Natalie is really enjoying the anime course, and I hope she can take
your lessons on empowered learning - which she will certainly need in
her new school!
~Jennifer Pargas
Oliver
and Lucien loved the Manga Class Friday. I think the kids really
enjoyed the age range. I may sign Oliver up for some weeks of the
summer program.

It
was a pleasure having Chris working with the members here at Dunbar
instructing in the drawing class.The staff and members found Chris to
be very knowledgeable and informative. Every Wednesday his class was an
attraction, and we were saddened to see the class end.
We would like to have him continue the drawing class in the future, hopefully after the New Year.

Just
a quick note to let you folks know that Mollie LOVED class on
Thursday. She is going to be out this week for the Chorus trip so
perhaps we will reschedule the class which would make her incredibly
happy. She has been signing all over the place much the amazement
of her brothers and is eager for more! Thank you – it’s actually
been an incredible confidence boost for her as well so the more
opportunities for her to learn and practice, etc., the happier she is!
~Rena Milchberg
We
have some good news! The Geometry Honors 3rd quarter interim grade was
a D+. The first quiz after we started with your tutor was 40/40 (a
perfect score - an A! after several F's in a row). The subsequent
grades were all high B's or low A's. Looks like final 3rd quarter grade
will be a B. I know he'll pull that back up to an A in the 4th quarter
with the ongoing support from your tutors. I can't begin to thank you
enough. Your tutors are wonderful! My son loves working with them and
they are obviously making a difference!
~Kathy
Steve
was great with the kids in the Early Einsteins class. I wished we could
have continued on, but thank you for restructuring the program to fit
our needs; the parents were happy that we were able to offer it.

My
son Darren was tutored by Andy Webbink a few years ago in Chemistry and
had a wonderful experience with him. We are now looking for a geometry
tutor for our daughter. Do you have a nice person you could recommend -
that could come to our house?
Thank you. Hope Andy is well.
~Patricia Benton
I
highly recommend Andy Webbink as a math and science tutor if your child
needs assistance. Andy is very effective and has a wonderful,
straightforward way of working with students. From what I have
observed, he is very strong in high school math and science.

Then
my daughter came home one day with the Enrichment Centers’ free reading
program flier. I enrolled her immediately. It did not take long to see
some remarkable improvements in her reading and comprehension. Also, I
was particularly excited about visible strides in a technique we had
been working on: syllabic chunking. She began using this technique to
break every word with two or more syllables down into chunks so she
could “devour” it. She told me her after-school teacher taught her.
Now,
my daughter is reading above her grade level. The Enrichment program’s
role in my daughter’s remarkable progress in reading is a testament to
the program’s effectiveness.
She is ready for the winter stint. She is excited.
So am I.

I
am writing to express our gratitude for the outstanding service that
you and The Enrichment Centers,Inc. provide to the students and
families of North Bethesda Middle School. You always go the extra mile
to accommodate our organization’s particular needs. The children are
having fabulous, educational and entertaining experiences. Your
dedication and background makes a good experience GREAT! Thank you so
much for your unwavering attention to detail and all that you and the
staff at TEC provide. It’s a pleasure to do business with you. We mean
every word of what we have said.
Thank you!

Thank
you very much. The girls really enjoyed the week of learning, Empowered
Learning with the electives in Anime and Drama really worked for my
kids. By the end of the week they learned some wonderful study skills
and organizational skills that have not been taught to them in school
previously. Teresa and Mary both are re-arranging their rooms to fit
their desks according to the guidelines you suggested to them.
Apparently the great idea I had had a long time ago of having their
desks under a window in our busy living room wasn't too conducive to
studying!
They are organizing it all by themselves and come
home armed with a lot of ideas. RC was wonderful with both girls, Mary
Grace took a special liking to him and learned a lot from his anime
class. He taught her a lot about drawing techniques. Ryan was also
really good with the girls and they learned a lot from him as well.
Our
children are enrolled in Summer '08 at Rockville Campus for Small Group
Tutoring They were very vocal about quality of Mr. Colin's Math
tutoring. The younger one said "Gosh, I never knew I could learn so
much. This is way faster compared to the speed at school." The older
one said "Compared to Johns Hopkins's CTY I would like to learn from
Mr. Colin. Teaching here is very customized, based on your needs and
speed.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did the distance--feel reallygood about it!

I
was very excited to find the Enrichment Centers' Creative Arts program
for my granddaughters this summer. Twelve-year old T and ten-year old C
were spending several weeks with me and although they wanted it to be
all "free time," I insisted they sign up for some program for part of
their visit. Neither child wanted to go to a typical day camp or
athletic program, but they were interested in doing dance, drama, art,
and similar activities.
When I enrolled them, T indicated on her
application that she wanted to learn hip-hop dance and to have an
opportunity to be a counselor-in-training. C also was interested in
dance and drama as well as creative writing.
On the first day,
both girls were shy and apprehensive, but they came home at the end of
the day bursting with enthusiasm! After several days, both of them
began asking me to extend their enrollment. When I hesitated, C
actually offered to give up some of the new school clothes I normally
buy her in exchange for additional time at the Enrichment Centers'
program.
Both girls got all of what they asked for and more. T
was thrilled to spend lots of time doing hip-hop as well as being
assigned to help with younger children. C got more instruction and
practice on flute in a few weeks than what she got in the entire last
school year. And both of them learned lots of new things without even
realizing it.
What made this program especially good for them was
that it was small, had lots of excellent and enthusiastic staff, and it
was designed to work with each child's individual interests, talents
and needs. T and C are already talking about returning next summer, for
as many weeks as possible. I am so glad that I found the Enrichment
Centers for my granddaughters.
Both girls continue to be very
excited and enthusiastic about their programs, and both I and their
mother are very happy that they are getting so much from it and that
they're enjoying it at the Rockville center. The girls love your
program.
~Toni Greenfeld
My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her teachers and the time spent learning old and new things! Again thank you.

This
letter will provide you with the information gathered at the
Supplemental Education Services (SES) site visit conducted at Lewisdale
Elementary on April 28, 2007. We appreciate the opportunity to review
the implementation of The Enrichment Center in Prince George’s County
Public Schools (PGCPS), including those areas required by the NO Child
Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) and the Maryland State Department of
Education (MSDE). During the site visit, both the logistical operation
and the implementation of the academic program were observed. Please
see the attachment with comprehensive notes from the meeting. The
following commendations should be noted:
• Tutor was well
prepared and started the lessons promptly or ahead of time. All
documentation was available for review and accurate as to requirements
listed in RFQ.
• The adults working in the Enrichment Center seemed to care genuinely about the children and the progress they were making.
• Home visits were conducted to communicate with the parents as needed.

My
daughter has been partcipating in the Science class on Mondays at
Burning Tree Elementary School all year with Dr. Joel Cohen. She has
loved it! The class is interesting and topics are broad. Dr. Cohen has
done a nice job with such a young-aged group of children to build a
life-long interest in science! He began the class with simple concepts
and now they are learning the life-cycle of a caterpillar/butterfly.
She has come home every week discussing in great detail the topic of
the day and has frequently referred to her learnings at a later time.
Thank you to you and the program and a great thanks to Dr. Cohen for keeping the class interesting and fun!
~Renata Bianchi
The French instructor is wonderful! Things are going well and the kids are really enjoying the class.

Kudos
to Dr. Pat Webbink and all the hard work The Enrichment Centers does to
benefit the children at the Oneness-Family School! The Enrichment
Center has been providing us with various after school enrichment
classes for about two years. We have had the privilege of having Chess,
Future Einsteins, and just recently Hip-hop programs at our school. The
children adore the wonderful instructors including Holly, the Hip-Hop
instructor. The children couldn't stop raving about how wonderful she
was! I have personally had the opportunity to observe a few sessions of
the different classes. I was impressed by the nurturing quality the
instructors had with all the students. We are all looking forward to
another great year of classes with The Enrichment Centers!

Finding
a remediation program for the summer daytime hours where my daughter
can have a social and athletic outlet in addition to academics is the
trick. She really enjoyed her weeks with your program last year. I
regretted not having enrolled her longer.
~ Susan Fleishman
You
really broke the log jam in his ability to get his thoughts on paper!"
My son, Evan, spent a week with you last summer working on his writing
skills. This year, he is getting straight As in English (and actually
in everything) and his teachers say they now have to sometimes tell him
to write less, when his problem had always been not being able to write
anything. So thanks!
~ Christine Mauck
Your
tutor was very pleasant, and caught Mary up in her Spanish and math
just as we needed. I greatly appreciate your sending a tutor under such
short notice. Mary is doing well at her new school, and having a tutor
at the beginning made a huge difference. I would certainly recommend
you to others, and call you in the future if Mary once again needed
help.
~Susan Hickman
"I
want to thank The Enrichment Centers so much for the tutoring my son
received. He was able to increase his SAT math score by 60 points!
Laura, his tutor, was wonderful! We were pleased during the process and
are certainly pleased with the results. We appreciate the flexibility
your center offered in scheduling to make the tutoring sessions fit
with our busy schedule. I would recommend your center highly!"
~Suzanne Woodard
Wanted
to let you know that our daughter, Patrique, had a rich one-week
experience in your jump start program at the Rockville location.
We'llbe back next summer.
