Not only does Ralph Becker prepare you for college applications, but he also continues to guide and mentor even after graduating college. Mr. Becker works extremely hard for the students, but you must also be willing to put in the hard work to get the results you want. Mr. Becker will help you write eloquently, but be prepared to write a lot! If you want help for college, contact Mr. Becker ASAP!

Ralph Becker is excellent!!! He helped my son get into his first choice university. Ralph provided…read morethe motivation and inspiration that my son needed. I did not have to nag my son as much as I expected and was so pleased with the outcome. Essentially, Ralph saved our relationship while helping us through the grueling college application process. I highly recommend Ivy College Prep. Money well spent.

We are extremely grateful for the support this college counseling company provided our family…read morethroughout my daughter's high school. The process of preparing for college applications was overwhelming, but the guidance we received made all the difference. Felicia, who worked directly with my daughter, was outstanding, supportive, knowledgeable, and always encouraging. She helped keep everything organized and made sure my daughter felt confident every step of the way. She was always there for my daughter when she needed her. Justin, the owner, has clearly built a wonderful program that truly supports students and families. We're thrilled that my daughter was accepted into the university she had been hoping for, and we're very thankful for their role in helping make that happen. Very Highly recommend.

Tutoring club has helped reinforced the fundamentals of her reading and math and helped her tackle the next level confidently.

I usually don't post reviews, but am so inspired by the amazing staff at Collegewise that I feel…read morecompelled to share. Our daughter worked with Sandi last year to navigate the college application process and optimize her opportunities. From start to finish, Sandi and her team engaged with, motivated and partnered with our daughter, inspiring her to put her best foot forward and guiding her through the maze to find success. She's now through her first semester at her target school and loves it! I highly recommend Collegewise and believe the return is well worth the investment.

We are on our second round of Collegewise for our second daughter. Without a doubt, the cost is…read morewell worth it for us. For our first one, Collegewise was a diplomatic buffer between our daughter and us during her high school years. This can be a very emotional and tense time for many families. They kept her on track with crucial deadlines and talked us through endless Q&As. For our second one, Collegewise has been an incredibly responsive resource whenever we have a question...no matter how insignificant it may seem. They have a ton of resources but we never feel overwhelmed with information. We have complete access to their knowledge base and never feel rushed when we have a meet up. Collegewise basically hand holds us through the entire application process personalizing their guidance according to our daughter's situation. Most importantly, Collegewise encourages their students to be proactive and take ownership of their application process which ultimately grows them as individuals regardless of which college they choose to attend.

Greg worked with both of my sons, one who is at Penn, and the other who is currently deciding…read morebetween Penn, Dartmouth, and Georgetown. I can't say enough about Greg - he's obviously effective, but he also achieves the elusive balance of being realistic AND inspiring. His successes and the depth of his experience would be reason enough to send your kids to him, but he's also just a great person who can read your kids and come up with great suggestions for them (what angle/theme to take throughout high school, what colleges would be a good fit, ideas for essays, etc.) I can't recommend him highly enough.

The service is excellent, with great counselors and highly knowledgeable staff members who have…read morebeen very thorough. They helped my older son significantly in finding his way to a great college, and we're now utilizing their services again for our second child.

We live in the bay area in northern CA. My son has been with ModernBrain (remotely) for 3 years and…read moreis heading to high school after this summer. He learned so much from Modernbrain's dedicated and knowledgeable coaches. He also built a lasting friendship with his peers in Modernbrain who share the same passion with him. Our experience with ModernBrain is nothing but great. I would highly recommend it to anyone who might start exploring interst or would like to sharpen skills in specific speech/debate category. BTW, their tuition and tournament fee is very reasonable and transparent, not like some other instituitions in the bay area.

I was watching my 7 year old daughter do her ModernBrain speech and debate class for the 1st time…read moreand the coach asked her to argue the pro of reading versus watching a film. I immediately thought this was going to be hard for her because she definitely loves her movies. Instead what I found was a thoughtful argument for something that I knew would be hard for her. For example, she cited that through reading you can become a better writer, and have better comprehension because you see the same words and gain familiarity. In addition to better reasoning, she was also able to structure her argument better than I expected. She started her argument with a hook which is a question to draw the listener into her speech then she stated a couple of her main points before she began to get into the meat of her argument. I found the whole thing adorable but I'm sure it will also serve her well in all future academic endeavors. I know it'll be useful even for meetings in the business world if 7 year olds are allowed!

I highly recommend Justin and his team. Justin is professional, communicative, honest and…read moreunderstanding. He truly wants to help students put forth the best versions of themselves in the application process. Premier Prep is the ideal partner for navigating college admissions throughout the course of high school or simply if you need application help during senior year. I can't say enough good things about Justin and Premier Prep!

Though Premiere Prep is typically geared towards high school students preparing for college, I used…read morethis company for hourly consultations for my academic transition. I didn't know it when I met him, but Justin was a game changer for me. I never knew the value or importance of receiving professional academic/career guidance. I can honestly say that I would not be nearly close to where I am today without Justin's guidance or support. He has helped me in my professional development through editing my resumes, interviewing skills, and most importantly, he saw my potential and helped me realize it too. His advice is honest and compassionate (though not necessarily what I always wanted to hear) and he wholeheartedly invested his time in me. Justin helped me transition through one of the most difficult times in my life between undergrad and post-undergrad at UCI. These days, I am proud to say I am at my top choice graduate program in occupational therapy. Whether it is college counseling or personal development, you couldn't be in better hands with Justin or his team at Premiere Prep.

What stood out most was how genuinely she cared and how consistently she kept my children's best interests in mind.

I'm glad we had the chance to work with her--and both my kids are happy with the outcome.

After my in depth research for a professional college counselor, I decided to go with College…read moreConsulting. And what a jackpot! Where should I start? Thomas was exceptionally knowledgeable about the process and as a parent, I immediately knew that he is the one, because he knows craft. His professional and very friendly demeanor, straight forward attitude were some of the winning deciding factors to choosing this firm. My daughter was accepted to NYU- Art Major. Without Thomas' help and support, she wouldn't be able to keep up with all the deadlines for submitting applications, essays, portfolio and fees/payments/deposits. I am extremely busy at work and wouldn't be able to help her with all the demands of applying for college. And not only that, I wouldn't know what I need to know and may have miss some important details or deadlines. Today is the college applying process so much more complicated and in order to stay up to date with all the regulations and current updates , a person need to do all the research and educate herself in order to keep up. To me that was equivalent to getting a second job. Thomas and his team seriously opened the door for my daughter to get accepted to a prestigious college thanks to their top notch organization and time management skills, invaluable tips & recommendations with her essays, portfolio and applications, which parents wouldn't know, and in addition they completed FAFSA for my daugher and for us as her parents. All we had to do is to provide them with the forms required by IRS. Amazing depth of knowledge, world class service and end results - like winning a lottery. My daugher worked super hard, but even she admits, without Thomas and his team, there is a no way, she would have been accepted to NYU. Thomas is the best, and his worth is priceless. We are so thankful that we found him, and I definitely will come back with my two other younger kids, when the time is right.
