“I can't say enough good things about Barun Academy in Irvine! As a dedicated educational institute, they truly excel in shaping bright minds. The faculty here is incredibly knowledgeable and caring, always going the extra mile to ensure students' success. The personalized attention and innovative teaching methods make learning a joy. Whether you're a student looking to excel academically or a parent seeking top-notch education for your child, Barun Academy is the place to be. Highly recommended”

“I attended Barun academy from 5 to 18 years old and I can say that it has prepared me for the rigorous academic courses not only in high-school /middle-school but throughout a great university as well. The majority of my time at Barun consisted of Writing and Math courses throughout elementary, middle, and high school. The preparation and high expectations of success worked excellently to make kids like myself become high achieving especially in the academically competitive city of Irvine. It helped me excel in APPAS, GATE, honors, and bridge exams. In addition, the SAT courses did an amazing job of familiarizing me with the test and preventing test fatigue by having us take constant practice exams. I was very satisfied with my scores and grades throughout my education and I can not thank Barun, specifically Yuri (the lady in charge), enough. Yuri wants the best for her students and this was portrayed through her understanding, caring, yet firm personality. She stresses the importance of learning and this is also representative through the teachers selected for the academy. Barun was different from the other prep centers because of the level of unmatched dedication and involvement that Yuri had in every single student's path. Besides all of my achievements, Barun revives a happy childhood memory in retrospect. I highly recommend checking out Barun because it is truly unique.”

“My two daughters have been with Ms. Yuri since they were in elementary school. Both of them are now at their top choice college, and we are so immensely grateful for her guidance. She has served as a loving mentor for our family both academically and personally. Ms. Yuri knows every student individually by their name and skills. She makes an effort to encourage every student to work hard and ingrains a value of discipline from a young age. She understands every student and knows how to best support them. I don’t know what we would have done without her help all these years.”

“I have two kids who are currently in 9th and 12th grade. Barun Academic Center has been a part of their lives since they were in elementary school. As a result, both kids have a solid foundation in math and their writing skills are outstanding. My freshman kid is in pre-calculus right now, and says that class is the easiest of all of the subjects. My 12th grader finished High School Calculus AB and BC (by junior year) getting one A and 3x A+ for those 4 semesters. Because of all of the supplemental math drilling from Baruns, she said calculus, was pretty easy for her. In addition, my eldest kid's writing skills have grown so much through the years while taking various writing classes at Baruns. Baruns has outstanding teachers for writing (among their favs are Stark, Hughes and Jelnick) as well as the math subjects (S. Yoon, et., al). My eldest was able to publish a clinical case report study in a medical journal as a senior in high school. The medical Doctor who reviewed the article prior to publishing, was amazed at her writing process. Much of this development in her writing ability, we attribute to her years spent in supplemental writing classes provided by Baruns. My kids have also benefited from other classes offered such as SAT prep (boot camp), Biology and Chemistry prep. All helpful in allowing my kids to feel comfortable in those classes when taking them in high school. The principal, Ms. Yuri will treat your kids as one of her own, once you are enrolled in any class. She is tenacious, yet loving and will never let your kids slide in to mediocrity, academically. We appreciate all that she has done for our kids and our family.”
