She was also instrumental in…read morehelping him decide where he wanted to apply (and why) and what majors would and wouldn't be a great fit for him, based on getting to know him over the two years they worked together. Once my son decided what he really wanted to pursue, she helped him back into choosing the best colleges within various universities, keeping location, size, campus vibe, cost and other variables in mind. As parents, it was wonderful to have a positive and knowledgable outside influence take the reins in aspects of the process that we didn't know much about. She kept him accountable and on track, while always being upbeat and a pleasure to work with. He submitted all his applications early and was confident that he'd done his best work. I highly recommend Patti to anyone looking for guidance at any point of the admissions process.

Despite the positive reviews others have left, my son, Christian felt strongly about Patti's various shortcomings during his college application process. He felt that his questions were left unanswered constantly and oftentimes would leave meetings more confused. He strongly felt that his time would have been better spent somewhere else. To other parents: Please be wary of the unrealistic promises made by this business!

My son has worked with Carlos for the last 4 years and my son was admitted to his first choice…read moreschool, UCLA. For these past few years, Carlos has helped my son stay focused and advised him on selecting classes and extra curricular based on his personal skills. He provides valuable insight on the classes and extra curricular where my son should focus. And during senior year, when it came to college admissions, he is able to help him craft meaningful and thoughtful essays for his college applications. This stems from his sincere desire to get to know his students and help them showcase their personalities in the essays. As parents, we are not able to keep up the trends of college admissions process so having an independent advisor who's specialty is to help students through their high school years and advise throughout the college application process has been priceless.

He is thoughtful, organized, and truly invested in understanding each student. I recommend Carlos wholeheartedly.

They really got to know our family and challenged my daughter to look deep within herself to find out what she really valued in a college experience. They helped her craft her list of potential colleges, guided her through the common application and worked with her to craft thoughtful and original essays that showcased her personality and interests.

I was worried that he would have to be dragged along every step of the way, but somehow, Jenny, Kelsey, James and the rest of his team inspired him to take control of his own college applications. Since they are so knowledgeable about the process, they really have the timing down. They allow time to explore in the beginning, and really take the time to get to know your child, but then also know when it's time to start prepping for deadlines. This allowed us to really avoid that last minute crunch before applications are due and allowed us as parents to leave it up to him to get it done on his own. The Colledge staff were always available to answer our questions, too, no matter what time of day or night. In the end, he got into his #1 choice, so we would definitely recommend this experience!

I completely trust him with my son and the work they're doing together. The progress has been remarkable. In his most recent modules, my son scored perfectly on the English section and missed only one question on math, a big improvement from previous sessions where he missed three and five questions. It's clear the one-on-one sessions are paying off. We are so grateful for the individualized attention and are excited to see how his SAT score reflects this progress at the end of March.

This establishment is something else. I signed up my son for some math tutoring and the contract…read moreprice was $66.00 per one hour session once a week till the end of this year. This was a month ago. Well since then my son has only gone to one session and thats because of the tutor he has is no longer a junior tutor but now a "premier" tutor and I should now have to pay the "premier" price for the same service. Well, I said no thank you find me another tutor and they did. Well my son really liked this tutor so we were all happy cuz that in it of itself is a task. Had one session, then I get an email from the school about a tutor leaving junior tutor to premier and to be happy for this person. Like I truly care. So low and behold I get a call saying that my tutor for my son cant tutor him unless I pay more money. I own a plumbing business if my journeyman plumber became a mater plumber in the middle of your job I cant charge you more money. Thats not your expense. So now I reported this to the BBB spoke to my attorney and sure enough this is not the way one conducts business.
