    Do not do anything over the phone, in person is best!…read more I've been renewing my medication aide license here for 2 years after taking their course a few years back and not once has it ever been this difficult. Each receptionist years prior has been polite, helpful, and made this the easiest, fastest and simplest transaction but the receptionist they have now is rude and disrespectful. A week ago, I contacted them stating that I need to renew my license and asked for the cost, she said she could do everything over the phone and would "text" me the information. I was glad and very grateful to her because I live 50 minutes away but when she texted me that the price is $120 and to pay using someone's "zelle" I called her back because I've never paid over $75 for a renewal fee there let alone using Zelle (always in cash or online). When I called back she immediately had an attitude changing the price to $100 and said she "accidentally gave me the price for a different renewal" (there's no renewal fee on their website for $120) very unapologetically. After that, I was still polite but no longer trusted doing anything over the phone. A couple days later, I decided to drive up there and do everything in person like I'd done years prior, and when I got there, she told me up front it would be $80 cash. I went and got cash and when I came back she said there's a state fee of $16. Okay, definitely not used to this price but things have gone up everywhere so no problem, I filled out the form and asked her a few questions and those were met with nothing but dismissiveness and passive aggression. Now a few days later, she calls me without a greeting or telling me who she is, asking me for some information, and to call her back when I have it. When I get it less than 30 seconds later and call her back she's immediately snappy with 0 patience when asking me for it and eventually hangs up in my face without even getting all of the information. When I immediately try to call back, she doesn't answer. But then calls back 2 minutes later, trying to act polite for the first time, as if nothing just happened minutes ago. From giving out the wrong information to not wanting to give out any information at all, to the bad manners, I truly hope that by next December, she is gone. The past renewal experiences were great, the receptionists were efficient and had me renewed within a day or two! I've referred so many coworkers and friends to go there for the quick course and the simple, VERY convenient renewal but right now, I wouldn't recommend a hamster.

    This facility is very poorly run. They are very unorganized, if you are looking to become a CNA,…read moreMedication Aide, etc or if you are just looking to renew your certification, please, look elsewhere and do your homework! I also found out from others who actually did there training here, that the equipment was not even in working order, and the instructor was a former student. It took more than two months for me to just get in on a date to have my exam renewal, and when it finally came around, the facility over booked too many students, the State Examiner was not happy. This place does not keep in contact, you have to chase them down to find out whats going on and when and where the tests are going to be at. The owner is very hard to understand on the phone, and doesn't return calls very often.

    I give Bob my highest recommendation for anyone dedicated to reaching his/her highest possible…read morescore on the GMAT. He is competent, patient, and teaches everything needed to excel in the quantitative section in a methodical manner. My GMAT score is a testament to Bob's instruction. I began the process of studying in Feb 2017 and scored a 480 on my first practice test after being out of college for 6 years. I wasted my money on a Princeton review course and I wasted my time trying to master the tricks and gimmicks in the course. While it's true these methods will help improve one's score, I found that despite my greatest efforts I couldn't crack the 620 mark on any of the practice tests. I started working with Bob in May 2017. I scored a 740 in late Jun 2017 because Bob made me smarter (it's really that simple)- letting go of the Princeton review and working with Bob turned out to be one of the best decisions I made with regards to my future. If you choose to work with Bob, I recommend 2-3 days per week. Be humble and let him teach you everything you need in order to excel in the Quant section. Most importantly, spend time everyday practicing and reviewing the concepts visited in each class. I didn't use him for Verbal, but I imagine he applies the same structure to his verbal sessions.

    My experience with Bob was less than ideal. Although Bob is very knowledgeable about the GMAT…read moretopics, he failed to understand my individual needs. The private tutoring with Bob was a supplement to my already extensive GMAT practice. I had been studying for a few months prior to my initial meeting with Bob. I came to him with specific problem areas and with only 6 weeks until my exam, asked that we focus our time accordingly. He did not adhere to my request. Additionally, he would say things like "wow I'm surprised you got that one correct" or (4 days before my exam) "you're taking a practice exam on Monday right? Not the real exam. YOU ARE NOT READY." For someone who is hired to be an educator, the aforementioned quotes are obviously off putting. During the time I did spend with Bob, he was constantly answering texts & phone calls. His phone was on ringer and would go off 10-15 times during a 2 hour period. His attention was NOT undivided. Good luck to all those studying. UPDATE 9/16 - Although Bob and I did not align well, he did make amends by offering financial compensation for the time spent, as well as other resources that may be useful to me in my studies.

    We engaged Maria to work with our son, Robby just past half way through his 3rd Grade year. He had…read morebeen diagnosed as ADHD and was struggling to adjust to the ever increasing expectations. His grades had gone from A's and B's in 2nd Grade to C's and D's and F's in Third. Robby's motivation was down. He was repeated stating that he wasn't smart (not the case!) and that he didn't like school. My wife and I were a bit at wits end as to what to do. Additionally, Ohio has a high stakes test at the end of the 3rd grade that every student must pass in order to advance to the 4th grade. Maria really turned that around. She focused on developing strategies that he could implement to succeed at his day to day school work as well as better understand the context of the lessons. Additionally she gave him tools to help with focusing, always a challenge with an 8 yr old boy! Within a few weeks we began to see positive results. By the beginning of the 4th quarter his teachers had noticed a positive change in Robby's behavior and motivation and he achieved an award for academic excellence in the 4th quarter. He stopped saying he couldn't do things and he looked forward to going to school. Oh, and he passed the final exam without issue. We were disappointed that Maria moved to Atlanta as it would have been fabulous to have her work with Robby next year. (Just for context - Maria worked with Robby 2 times a week most weeks and 3 times a week to prep for the final exam from early February through the end of May.)

    I am very impressed with how Maria works with kids, she encourages them to do their best.read more
