We searched and spoke to many advocates, and finally found the Weinfeld Education Group. Jennifer, from the team, was wonderful and understanding of our concerns. After introducing her to the IEP team at school we were able to have the differences in his assessment addressed. With adding things such as speech-to-text/text-to-speech, more one on one with educators, and scribing, he was able to perform at grade level, which he was never able to do before. Additionally, he was no longer being penalized for not being able to answer the material he couldn't read. Because of Jennifer and her team's work, my son's demeanor also changed from having to struggle to get him out of his room to go to school to telling us we are running late and that he doesn't need help with his homework. He is still far from being independent, but we no longer have to deal with that emotional pain, thanks to Jennifer.

I am the parent of eight children and have been using the services of Prep Matters for many, many…read moreyears. For all this time, I have been exceptionally pleased with the instruction and the results. I have, most recently utilized the services of Sunhee, an SAT tutor who has singlehandedly enabled my daughter to raise her SAT score by over 200 points. The experience of SAT test prep, which can be grueling, unpleasant and painful, has been actually enjoyable for my daughter. I think this has much to do with the relationship and rapport she has developed with Sunhee. From the first session to the last, he has been responsive, supportive, encouraging, and motivational. Sunhee is not the only tutor who has yielded exceptional results for my children. Both of my sons also used Prep Matters tutors, and I was equally and exceptionally pleased with the academic support and guidance they received. In all cases, my kids reached their target scores as a result of the instructional tips and strategies the tutors provided and were accepted into competitive colleges. I have also known Ned Johnson, the owner, for over two decades. He is an incredible person, dedicated to achieving success for all Prep Matter students. He has called me at home to discuss my kids' progress and has personally met with my kids when they have struggled academically or needed an extra boost of encouragement. He cares about each and every student who walks through his doors, remembering their names and stories long after they have graduated from high school and gone to college. Ned is an extraordinary man and the example he sets is on full display in the staff he employs. His tutors work hard to achieve results, embracing the same values inculcated by Ned. In many ways, Prep Matters feels like a family. This is a personal tutoring experience that adapts strategies specific to a child's needs. This daughter is my youngest and will close this chapter of my life. I will always be grateful to Ned and to Prep Matters for being there for me and my kids--for believing in them and working with them to create the best possible outcomes.

For quite a while, we've worked with math tutor Sharon Kim in the Bethesda office and absolutely LOVE her. She is really great about learning each kid's way of learning and then teaching effectively to that. Also, my son just really enjoys spending time with her and doing all the math they do. I'm super fond of her as well. We also worked very briefly with Moose in the Tenleytown office. He is a physics whiz and the brevity of our working relationship was only because my son had no teacher at school so needed guidance until one was hired. Moose was the perfect interim! I have recommended both him and Sharon many times. We have also worked with PM in the college counseling realm. Full disclosure- I have my own college counseling business, but my son and I didn't want to work together during his application process. So, we interviewed several companies and immediately chose to partner with PM's Maureen Delaney. She is wonderful, and my son loves working with her. Lastly, I'll note that Ned Johnson, founder and leader of PM, is a terrific human who is deeply committed to and knowledgeable about education, development, and adolescent. It's been a pleasure to get to know him, and I highly recommend the books he and Bill Stixrud have authored. The prices aren't low, but honestly, I feel great about paying such a caring, supportive group of people. Their help has been worth every penny!

She recommended that he should take the ACT instead. To make a long story short my son improved his percentiles in the ACT test, jumping BIG from being in the 50% of the SAT to the top 1% of the ACT. I was not expecting that king of improvement. It also boosted his confidence and I am sure it will help him during college. An static parent from RM

I can't believe a dishonest business like this operates in our community. Do not give them a dime…read moreof your hard-earned money they are dishonest and know exactly what they are doing. I met the owner/manager Nancy seeking a MBA level tutor. She insisted I pay nearly $5000 to retain this tutor and despite my better judgement to hire someone hourly, I paid that amount. She assured me numerous times that if I disliked anything, had any issues she would issue a refund immediately. It was these false promises that swayed my judgement. After paying that amount, I was reaching out to them, they did not call me. After numerous calls and emails a tutor was still not assigned to me. When they finally did respond they said the tutor was only available once a week on Saturdays 9 am-11am. How would this work with upcoming assignments and finals? When I was finally assigned a tutor I was told after the first and only session he was headed abroad to China? I immediately requested a refund as that is their only MBA level tutor and they have no other alternatives. I have been fighting with them since May to get my money back. Nancy has lied to my face saying she processed a refund. My bank and I have not received a dollar. Please do not be fooled by the google reviews. I have to take them to court to get my money back.

My 3 kids have been going to C2 since 2018. There have been several different management teams over…read morethis period that did a very good job organizing and communicating around my children's tutoring. We benefited from solid gains in SAT scores too. However, we are very disappointed in the current team of young women who co-manage the interface with parents and tutoring for our kids. Major communication shortfalls / mistakes over and over again, that have a big impact on us. I receive very infrequent feedback, compared to previous management, on the accurate progress of my child. And after thousands of dollars spent, her SAT text scores have not increased. Disaster! In contrast we saw solid results increases for our other kids. Aside from poor management and communication the young and inexperienced management team has no clue on how to structure students' learning plan and schedule. Other problems that could be easily addressed are: 1. tutoring classes being full and hence limiting our ability to increase tutoring around SAT testing season (late Feb through Early June) to offer tutoring on Fridays or Sunday during the these high testing periods. 2. C2's SAT mock tests for digital have been problematic. Perhaps this is due to it being transition year, but their questions are not reflective with what the kids will be tested on. This is both frustrating for kids and it keeps you in the dark on SAT scoring feedback. 3. Finally, we also bought more sessions hoping to get support on AP classes, but since there is not enough kids doing this those tutoring topics (like NSL, etc), sessions are combined with up to 3 additional kids studying something else. Learningwise this is completely ineffective for our daughter. To top it all off instead of getting regular reports on the number of hours used during the year we got a last minute warning that we only have 4 hours left, one months before the the SAT exam. The offered at 30% discount but only if you buy another huge bundle of hours for $7k. If we had to do it again we would have gone somewhere else. In the end, we will be stuck having paid $8-9k for negligible scores improvement.

This is going to be long, but a must read!!…read more If you've been struggling with the LSAT let me be the first to say it has NOTHING to do with your intelligence!!! Read that again. It doesn't matter how many times you've took the LSAT or who got into law school before you. Your time is coming. I've took the LSAT MULTIPLE times and have a history of underperformance on standardized tests. I never understood why until I found Shana. I never thought for a second that I possibly could be suffering from test anxiety. Test anxiety takes on many forms, but Shana will help you through it. I've been working Shana for the past two weeks remotely and let me tell you she's truly God sent. Whether you're religious or spiritual (maybe neither) it doesn't matter, but she's truly a blessing. Shana is passsionate about the work that she does and her students. Shana is a teacher at heart and she breaks down the material in such a way that things start to click instantly. Shana not only helps you master the LSAT, but she provides you with test anxiety strategies that will make studying easy. I look forward to studying with Shana and doing my hw. When you work with her, she will start to peel away at the layers of your anxiety. This needs to be done in order to make progress. Your anxiety has been in control far too long and it's time to let it go. Even if you're not suffering from anxiety, adhd, or other learning disabilities Shana is for EVERYONE. Invest in yourself and get Shana on your team. Studying this time around is different. I can see and feel it. I'm much more relaxed. I still have a lot work to do, but I'm ready this time. Thanks Shana! I'll post another update once I slay the LSAT in March! P.S. I've used all the major test prep companies before. What is the difference between them and Shana? Most of the instructors have never been teachers before and only started after scoring in the 99th percentile on the LSAT. Now that isn't a bad thing, of course you want to be in a class with an instructor who aced the exam( in my opinion). However, just because you're good at something doesn't mean you're qualified to teach it. Also, if you suffer from anxiety, adhd, and other learning disabilities they might not be able to provide you with the support/accommodations that you need. Shana is and her work speaks for herself.
