Kiana has been our saving grace! She has helped my daughter the last 3 years and has now started to work with my son. She has taught them how to be more confident in math. Her patience in teaching is a gift, and my kids look forward to working with her. She has helped us in so many ways than just math!! Berktree Learning Center is a place my kids can go to not just learn in their studies, but to grow as a person too! ❤️

Love Berktree Learning Center and Miss Kiana. My daughter learned how to read right after she turned 5 and has consistently been a year ahead of her grade level. Miss Kiana and her team make learning fun but challenging at the same time. I have seen some immense growth during my child's time with her. I am enrolling my son who is about to start Kinder as well. I highly recommend them for all of their tutoring services, classes and homework club!

Berktree Learning Center has been great for both my kids! The owner listens to what you say and helps your child to strengthen the areas they need help in. She is always open to speak to you and help in any areas of need. The center has helped both my kids improve a lot!

Berktree is a wonderful asset to my child’s education journey. There are a variety of tutors who personalize a plan for your goals. Kiana really cares about the families who come to Berktree.

The Berktree Learning Center has been a “Godsend” for our family. We moved to the area mid school year. Our initial school in Costa Mesa didn’t work out and we had no idea what to do. I called the Berktree learning center and Ms. Kianna created a a tailor made program for our son to help him finish the school year so he would be prepared for 7th grade. She also helped us navigate the Capo USD school system and suggested AVMS for our son. It was the right fit our family and we couldn’t be happier!!!l

Long over due review! Berktree Learning Center was a great find during my daughter's elementary school years for her reading and writing deficiencies. She was struggling with reading comprehension tests and had poor writing for assignments & tests.

I discovered Berktree Learning after calling around & getting estimates for in-home tutors. Kiana Berkman was selected because of her kind, patient, & friendly demeanor with my daughter. My daughter was very insecure & lacked confidence in her reading & writing ability after being so unsuccessful since 2nd grade. Kiana & her tutors focused on getting my daughter up to speed within 6 months & shortly after began assigning my daughter with advanced, challenging & above grade level reading & writing assignments after each tutoring session. We utilized Berktree Learning Tree for 3 years, once a week for 1.5 hours. By the end of 5th grade, we decided to give my daughter a break from tutoring as long as she maintained As in her Language Arts classes in her 3 years of middle school which was no problem for her. My daughter became a strong & confident writer with Berktree Learning Tree's help & guidance.

My daughter has started back up again in Sepember 2019, now getting Accelerated Geometry tutoring with Kiana on a weekly basis. Kiana is helping her with geometry concepts, homework, test preparation & teaching the following week's new material.

If you are looking for a tutoring service who cares & works with you in developing the best academic plan for your child's needs, I highly recommend Berktree Learning Center. You will not be disappointed!

My child is graduating from 5th grade this year until the pandemic happened. She was stuck at home doing online schooling. We decided to try Berktree Learning Center to supplement her Math education. I feel that as a parent my child is a VIP in every session. She learned a lot of new things in just one sitting. Kiana makes her lessons easy to understand and every solution explained in detail that I wish I met a Math teacher like her during my grade school years. She is patient, accommodating, and knows the exact unique approach to each of her students. Also I have a very shy child. She is now extremely comfortable to ask questions and has become more confident talking to people. I highly recommend Berktree Learning Center. Thumbs up! 🙂

We came to Berktree because my son started to struggle in semester 2 of high school algebra I and his grade had fallen to a C. With four months of tutoring from Katia at Berktree, he gained an A- on the final and a B+ in the course.

It was such a good experience that we decided he would take geometry online, guided by Berktree. With Kiana’s instruction, he has maintained an A in the Brigham Young University online course with a couple months to go.

My son is on the autism spectrum. Both Kiana and Katia not only have been great at explaining the concepts to him and keeping him on track, but they’ve been very patient and understanding of his quirks. Kiana, his current tutor, is flexible when we need to reschedule and even goes above and beyond, such as treating him to lunch for good work or staying late to talk with him on some of his favorite topics. I strongly recommend Berktree, not only for neurotypical kids, but also those on the spectrum or with unique learning styles.
