I am so happy to write a positive review for the College Planning Center (Granite Bay) and our…read morecounselor Sara Batchelor. We started the process during our daughter's freshman year in high school. By starting early, Sara was really able to guide my daughter through career exploration, summer activities, volunteer opportunities, college application/essay process, and so much more. Sara was always available to us and we always felt she was supporting us in the utmost way. We had major life events that occurred over the last 3-4 years and Sara went out of her way to support us and find help to our answers. She truly wants to see her students exceed through the high school/college preparation experience. She feels part of our family and we will truly miss connecting with her through our meetings. I can't thank her enough for her generosity, positivity, and encouragement through what can be a very stressful experience. With Sara's help and my daughter's hard work and commitment, she has wonderful colleges to choose from. Thank you Sara and the College Planning Center!

From my AP tutoring needs as well as ACT prep (BTW increased by 5 points!!), Billy, Adam, and Justin really prepared me for the college application process. As stressful as high school was for me, Billy and his team of warm, SUPER intelligent, polymathic mentors, guided me through every step of the way, being accessible 24/7 by text, call or email. Any question that my parents and I had, at any time, was answered. Looking back as I start my second semester at Columbia University, I could not be more thankful for the time that I spent with the amazing team at ESM! I trust the team at ESM and cannot wait to have Billy and his team help my own future children apply to college!

ESM has supported me and my family for years now. Not only did Billy help improve my high school…read moregrades, get phenomenal ACT scores, and get me accepted at a majority of my college choices, but he continues to support me and offers his thoughts and help whenever I text or email him about grad school and career choices. Billy has a wonderful set of tutors that really cares for their students and want to see them achieve all their academic and extra-curricular goals. My tutors always worked around my schedule and made meetings fun and educational. ESM truly wants their students to succeed on any life path they decide to take. I recommend ESM to every family I know with students still in high school because no matter how successful a student is, ESM can help.

I started counseling with Raj in 2009 when I was a freshman in high school, and I can strongly say…read morethat the advice and counseling I received from Raj is unbeatable. Raj not only helped me academically with planning classes and staying ahead of my peers, but he also helped me socially and professionally. We practiced public speaking, networking, building confidence and much more. After graduating high school, I felt prepared to start college and use the tools Raj gave me to excel. While in college, Raj and I worked on career planning/development and continuing to build my network. Without Raj in my corner, I do not think I would have engaged myself in nearly half of the extracurricular work I did. I decided I wanted to pursue a career in the legal field, and Raj taught me how to effectively communicate with attorneys in my area, which in turn landed me an internship at a law firm. That internship eventually turned into a paid position and provided me with excellent connections and resources. Currently, I am starting my first year of law school on a full ride scholarship, and I give much thanks to Raj for giving me the tools to reach this stage. It's been nearly a decade that I've received counseling from Raj and I can proudly say that his knowledge and expertise is truly unmatched. He is my biggest mentor and his passion for helping others find their way in life is admirable. You will not go wrong with any of his services!

We offer 1-on-1 tutoring (at our office in Carmichael, or in the comfort of your home), unlimited drop-in Homework Help Mon-Fri for a flat rate (either per week or per 4 weeks), and periodic workshops such as Math Study Skills, SAT and ACT test prep, Final Exam Group Review sessions, etc. We have tutors available for multiple subjects including all levels of MATH from elementary through college (Arithmetic, Elementary Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, AP Calculus, Statistics); SCIENCE (Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Physical and Life Sciences); ENGLISH (Essay writing, story writing, grammar, composition, etc.); HISTORY (all levels including AP Government, AP US History); and overall study skills and homework assistance. Our goal is to help students reach those "light bulb moments" where they come to truly understand the material being covered in class. This deeper understanding of course leads to increased confidence and improved grades in the classroom (and on standardized, IB and AP tests). That's why our logo is a lightbulb. :)

Their study material for the law portion was very useful. Make sure you read the stuff in the red binder they send. The trade part you should know a lot about if you are applying the trade.

Then obviously you will not pass. Learn the material for your own benefit.
