As a parent of a first-generation college-bound daughter, I cannot recommend Premier College…read moreGuidance highly enough! Navigating the college application process felt overwhelming at first, especially with all the deadlines and paperwork. The team at Premier College Guidance made everything manageable and stress-free. From the start, they provided personalized support, helping my daughter identify colleges that matched her interests and goals. They kept us on track with every deadline, sending reminders and offering expert advice on essays and applications. Trevors knowledge of the FAFSA process was extremely helpful! They ensured we submitted everything correctly and on time. Most importantly Trevor and Lindsey understood our unique challenges and offered encouragement and resources tailored to our situation. Thanks to their guidance, my daughter felt confident throughout the process and received several acceptance letters! She now attends her first choice dream school! They turned a stressful journey into an exciting and successful experience. I am very grateful for Trevor and Lindsey at Premier College Guidance.

The process felt largely self-directed, with limited one-on-one guidance, little sense of investment in our daughter's individual journey, and no meaningful follow-up. Sessions were group-based, emails were bcc: ed amongst a large group of students, and when she needed personalized support, it often took several days to schedule meetings, with some emails going unanswered. All they did was glance at her PIQs and applications once. Given our level of investment, we expected much more personalized attention, involvement, and genuine interest in her success. What a major disappointment and waste of thousands of dollars!

His scores went up over 100 points during the course of the summer workshop. Julie and Josh (who we interacted with most) were both wonderful to work with and answered all of our questions. My son took the paper SAT in late 2023 and was happy with the results. We have since referred a classmate to Elite Prep (for a winter break shorter course) and they were also pleased with the schedule and outcome. Thanks to the team at Elite Prep! Your help is much appreciated.

Hiring a professional college counselor-separate from the ones available at the high school our son…read morewent to - was one of the smartest decisions ever. I did not expect the in house counselors who were very busy with an entire grade to really focus on one kid and it did feel like they had the school's best intentions as their priority; seeming to balancep percentages to certain schools and pushing the path of least resistance.. Our son came into this stressful process by word of mouth and the things he read, which seemed to be very much about the social atmosphere of various schools, which is important but there was a lot more to consider. Being 16+ he was bullheaded and as his parent I know nothing. Of course. So I interviewed a bunch of professionals. Catie was down to earth and knew so much about dozens of schools that I thought she was the best! After our first meeting I trusted her to work alone with our son so he would be free to really dig deep on what he wanted for himself. She helped him sort through his thinking about the college experience itself so social life would be in alignment with what he wanted educationally (small vs large college for example). By working alone together - and not me butting in and micromanaging - it empowered my son to really think more globally and realistically. (read: he couldn't blame me for anything LOL). Second best decision! Catie worked with our son to help him choose schools and organize his thinking around those choices - realistically. She managed expectations from the start then geared the applications around those schools, including the essays. She has a deep understanding for the process at each school so nothing is wasted. Then she assisted in every aspect of the process and went over the acceptance and declined results with him/us (I wasn't invisible) as they came in. Our son is thriving as a Junior in the University of Michigan- (double major computer science and economics)- his first pick. Go Blue.

Robert is the best tutor I have ever worked with in any class, subject, or test preparation course…read more I improved my ACT score from 24 to 30 in just a few sessions with him. He was willing to work at my pace, and set the precedent that if I was willing to complete all of my work between sessions, he would get me exactly where I wanted to go. His understanding of the reading section particularly made a huge difference for me. Robert got me to think about how the ACT wanted me to think about the questions, and changed my mentality completely. I ended up at my dream school, and have continued to employ many of the strategies he taught me in college. P.S. He's also an amazing guy who can get along with anyone, which makes training for standardized exams much more enjoyable for all of his students.
