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!

So I would recommend Leslie to anyone who is looking for a tutor, and you will see the results in your kids grade in just a matter of time and most important of all, she is patient and likes to work with kids. Her price is very reasonable and her knowledge with kids are exceptional. If you are looking for a tutor , please give Leslie a try before you try anyone else, you won't be disappointed.

I recommended these students to Leslie. She could change their attitude in no time. She was my 'go to" expert for making learning fun and producing excellent results. Some students have followed her to Sacramento because she could relate to their learning blocks. I miss her expertise and often call her for advice. She's good with all grades and she works with their school textbooks and communicates with school teachers if necessary. I gave her five stars but I'd give her more if I could.

Even though we all loved the first school, they still helped her explore other options and she was accepted at many other schools. My second child is doing both college planning and tutoring and they've been so flexible with schedule, switching subjects, offer discounts to returning students/families, and my child has worked well with all the tutors to whom they've been assigned (2nd child is very shy and has a hard time asking for help, hence the need for tutoring). Communication with staff is excellent, I always feel informed and they're super responsive. Their services are very comprehensive--tutoring for SAT/ACT, summer refreshers, regular subject tutoring, and college planning. Mention me/my review and I might even get a little bit off my next round of tutoring, but even if I don't, I wanted to recognize what a great business this is!

My daughter brought up her D grade to a final grade of B- and qualified for university credit after completing the AP exam.
