The Tutoring Center Salem

The tutoring Center is an awesome place. My kids felt very welcome and the director and his staff were very professional, pleasant, and explained what they were doing, how they tested and tutored the kids. Any time I go in there the place is nice and tidy, and I love the staff. Funny, friendly, warm, and most importantly, they make the kids feel welcome, at home, and smart! If I could give this place 10 stars I would.

Stay away from Salem Tutoring Center!
The facility is understaffed, extremely unprofessional, disorganized, and often do not answer phone calls for an entire week. They don’t apologize or even acknowledge this, and are both quite curt and rude.
The office is very shabby and run down, like a free clinic, and every corner is bursting with clutter and chaos. It is not a calming environment for children to focus, it is a scattered, bustling, tense flurry, run by two people who have no interpersonal skills whatsoever. It’s almost as if the Salem Tutoring Center could have been a used car lot three months ago.
Things are placed randomly, there is no ambiance, and there isn’t one quiet area that would be conducive to learning. The person who administers tests is known to forget or lose entire portions, only realizing it days later, which delays the entire process, and you cannot get a phone call returned no matter how urgent.
It does not seem like this is the business these people wanted to be in, but just fell into it. The tutoring I observed was lukewarm, and the child (ren) were talked at, and never responded as though they had learned. They just left when their time was over.
I would have nothing to do with the Salem Tutoring Center for any reason. I urge parents to explore tutoring through local high schools, Chemeketa Community College, or private high school students. If you set foot inside, you would see exactly what I’ve referenced.
