c2 stands for "corrupt company"
c2 deserves ZERO stars.
Center Directors (sheisty salesmen disguised as college experts) sell exorbitant priced contracts under the pretense c2 cares about children. But once buried-in-the-fine-print hours expire, children no longer have access to these hours. The deceptive part is the Center Director verbally promised, and repeatedly assured us, that c2 hours DON'T EXPIRE. Furthermore, she convinced us to buy a very large package of hours for our young children to share so we could lock in the rate. If c2 truly put students first, students should have access to the instructional hours their parents paid for, upfront and in full. I actually have a recording of our Center Director admitting that she knows she promised us our c2 hours would not expire. She goes on to state it was a well known company wide policy to NOT enforce expiration dates. BUT out of the blue, Corporate had a change of heart. No grandfather clause for families who enrolled under their original policy. Well played MONEY GRAB, Corporate. Well played!
Furthermore, a c2 hour is a misnomer and another way c2 deceives us. The student to teacher ratio is 3:1 and the teacher has a personal prep time prior to the session which is also deducted from YOUR child's c2 hour. So each "c2 hour" equates to LESS THAN 20 minutes of 1:1 interaction with the teacher. Let that sink in.
Let's examine another example of deception. c2 tests are NOT official College Board or ACT tests as c2 would like you to believe. Center Directors demand students come into their centers to take tests in order to simulate "real testing conditions" but then proceed to administer bogus exams designed by c2. Their free practice tests entice new families to come into the center so they can get bamboozled into buying expensive packages since "proprietary c2 tests" ensure scores will likely fall short of parental hopes or expectations.
Read the c2 complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau (Grade F, Unaccredited) and ONLY the 1star reviews here on Trustpilot, Yelp, Google, and Reddit. Most 5 star reviews are paid advertisements which Center Directors solicited and compensated with bonus hours. This explains why positive reviewers clearly identify their real names or their child's name, or mention exactly which specific center they're raving about. 5 star reviewers want to make sure those bonus hours are deposited into the correct account.
Finally, through c2's REFERRAL program c2 families recruit their own friends/family to buy exorbitant priced packages, write 5 star reviews in exchange for bonus hours, and through RETENTION (getting pressured into extending their own contracts), well-intentioned c2 families are unwitting pawns in c2's Master formula. Be wary of Center Director's calls and DocuSign contract updates. "I promise," "special promotion," or "mandatory" are huge red flags🚩🚩🚩. Record every conversation with the Center Director, read the fine print, and think long and hard about signing anything. Better yet, protect your family's sanity and bank account by seeking OTHER more ethical, and actually accredited, tutoring options. We wish we had never stepped foot in a c2 center.
Warn your family and friends.
AVOID c2.
It's easy to remember: corrupt company.
UPDATE: I contacted c2 according to their response below. As I fully expected, this corrupt company is sticking to their expiration date buried in the contract rather than what they trained their unprincipled Center Director minions to say to seal the deal. Their pitiful response to addressing and rectifying their Bait and Switch scheme confirms c2 doesn't care about their students. One would think that a so-called test prep company would know what the words "ample" and "fair" actually mean. As long as a customer complaint doesn't hint at refunding tuition money, they'll address a minor bungle. Otherwise, they're 💯 about profit.

C2 Education system are Money diggers…
C2 Education system are Money diggers and i am writing a review about center 415 Peachtree Pkwy Suite 205
The education center in question presents itself as a premier institution for student success, but beneath its polished exterior lies a troubling reality. With exorbitant fees, it often prioritizes profit over genuine educational outcomes, leaving both parents and students feeling exploited.
Parents, seeking the best for their children, find themselves caught in a cycle of high costs and unmet promises. The center frequently shifts the blame for any lack of progress onto the students, positioning them and their families as scapegoats in a system that seems more concerned with financial gain than with fostering true learning and development.
As a result, many families feel disillusioned and frustrated, having invested significant resources in an institution that fails to deliver on its lofty claims. The center’s approach not only undermines trust but also raises serious questions about the ethics of prioritizing revenue over the educational well-being of students.
Example: They give very dumb question paper which is highly difficult and they make parents and students think they are dumb and need lot of support from them and dig all your money and after that they don't even care about your progress and tests, they go by their schedule and availability of their tutors.

Results matter!
Results matter. And that is what my high school son received from tutoring and doing DSAT Prep with C2 Millburn. My son had a close-to-perfect DSAT score thanks to C2 Millburn's ELA tutoring and the proprietary mock DSAT practice tests. Other than the result, I appreciate the Center Director (Dani)'s approachability, high energy and encouragement, as well as the Education Coordinator (Tugce)'s always polite and professional demeanor and responsive communication. If you are thinking about helping your child to improve on a subject or prep for DSAT, I will recommend talking to C2 Millburn.

Amazing college counselor at C2 Dublin
My experience with college counseling at C2 has been nothing short of amazing. I have a wonderful college counselor at the Dublin center who has helped me navigate the confusing waters of high school, as well as guided me through the ins and outs of what colleges are looking for in the last six years. She helped my older brother get into Purdue for Biomedical Engineering, and is keeping me on a path to great schools, too. I know I can come to her with any questions I have about the college application process. I always confer with her before I make any of my important decisions: what classes to take next year, how many weighted, what clubs I should do, what extracurriculars, what summer programs, etc. She helps me with things I wouldn't have thought of on my own, like keeping track of the activities I do so I can write about them later in college essays. Overall she is just an amazing person, helping me stay motivated and giving me pep talks whenever I need one. Though the college application process can be intimidating, with the help of a great college counselor, it is so much more manageable. It has been a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend.
