Because admissions consultants represent such a significant investment, I wanted to make sure I…read moreworked with a consultant who'd have a night-and-day impact on my Kellogg application. But, it was challenging to evaluate that before committing to move forward with one firm. I'm sharing this review of Beth because she was exactly what I was looking for. In my admissions call, the admissions officer told me one of my application reviewers said they were hard-pressed to find anything wrong with my application. Beth made a significant impact on my application in two ways: (1) In all areas of the application, especially the essays, she maximized the portion of content that Kellogg admissions officers care about. Before working with Beth, I had iterated my essays several times and thought they were in a decent spot. After she reviewed, it turned out only a small fraction was content Kellogg admissions officers actually care about. We worked together to maximize the portion of the content admissions officers care about and pared down the rest. (2) While I had a high-level idea of what a good application looked like, I didn't have a crystal clear picture, and as a consequence, I found I would iterate on application components much more than necessary because I wanted to be sure they were as good as possible. Beth let me know when each one was in a good state so I could focus my time effectively, and that allowed me to put adequate effort into every portion of the application. There's nothing magic in those two items, which is why I recommend her so highly: I'm confident that her impact on my application is repeatable with any application. I could tell in working with her that she's evaluated thousands of Kellogg applications, and that makes her uniquely suited to advise in those two areas.

I'm so thankful that I chose to work with the SBC team, and particularly Amy Hazen, my consultant…read more The MBA admissions process is grueling, and I knew that I needed a partner who would guide me through the journey with patience, understanding, and expertise. The SBC team works together to create a holistic experience. Bill took the time to understand my goals before pairing me with a consultant. Amy spent countless hours with me understanding what made me tick and helping me translate that into an application. Beth flight tested my application and made sure that there weren't any glaring holes, and Anthony helped me prep for my Wharton Team Based Discussion. By far the most valuable part of this process was having Amy by my side. No question was too trivial for her, and she had limitless patience with me as I obsessed over every detail of my application. Amy's most valuable contribution, however, was her ability to help me focus on the RIGHT details. It is easy to lose sight of what you are building as you write the applications from the ground up, and it can be particularly challenging not to write applications based on what you THINK the AdComms WANT to hear. Amy encouraged me to embrace my authentic voice, and ensured that I was telling a story that highlighted who I am as a human. Thanks to Amy and the SBC team I was admitted to FIVE MBA programs: GSB, Wharton, Booth, Columbia, and Stern (with a full ride).

There is a great deal of authenticity in his teaching approach; he is one of the few tutors who practices what he preaches. Should his own tools and tips not work for his students, he easily adapts, taking time out to learn about his students before formulating alternative methods. I admire the honesty he has with himself, only taking on a limited number of students at any given time. I've had the pleasure of working with Mike on two occasions: during college applications and later in my professional career. He is whole heartedly dedicated to each person's academic journey and is easily one of the best kept secrets in the tutoring industry.

Mike also raised his sights above his high school's recommendations, encouraging him to apply to more challenging universities. My son was admitted to his first choice college in early decision, ahead of several friends with better academic records. Also notable is how well he communicates with parents, his straightforward billing and how painless he makes the process for parent and student.

It was far more than finding me a tutor, but they really got to know me and went to great lengths to ensure I did well and that is something that is rare and deserves to be appreciated. Thank you Tutor Me LA for your help, students like myself truly need your service and you all are doing a great job at ensuring that quality is not sacrificed. Shout out to Melissa, Scott, and Jared for always putting up with me and my last minute request and emails asking questions off the clock. You are all absolutely amazing! Another a great experience!

In just eight weeks, Noelle completely transformed her relationship with the subject.

Noelle has a remarkable ability to connect with students, identify exactly where they're struggling, and make challenging concepts feel relatable.

The program is truly special--weekly animal classes, music, dance, and art activities that enrich the children and help them grow in so many ways. As someone who speaks several languages, the language aspect was very important to me. I've seen a big difference--my children started to understand and speak a little French in a short time. Every day at 10:00 AM, they have a structured learning session where they learn colors, numbers, and the alphabet. After just three months, the progress was amazing. The food is kosher, organic, fresh, and delicious--homemade meals that I would happily eat myself.

She cried for the first two weeks, which is completely normal at that age, but Anies met every wobble with calm patience and genuine kindness. That gentle transition paid off. Now she walks through the door without even looking back, completely confident, and she has never cried again. Most importantly, I feel she is truly safe there, and that peace of mind is everything. The kids also enjoy genuinely fun and enriching activities: art projects, music time, and even visits from animals. It's a place where learning and play blend beautifully. The environment is warm, attentive, and personal. It's clear that the children are cared for, not simply supervised. Anies really understands them. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing, thoughtful, and safe place for their child.

Learning about different animals that come in every month is one of the best parts!

We truly think of Simona and her team as family! We cannot say enough good things about Pointsettia…read moreLittle School and we are so, so grateful to have our daughter there. We were nervous first-time parents having to go back to work, and had a really hard time finding the right daycare that checked the logistical boxes. But PLS was a perfect fit! They have long hours which allowed for our flexible work schedules, they're close to our house, and accepted young babies (all of these points were hard to find in other daycares). But beyond the logistics, our girl is THRIVING! Our daughter started when she was 5mo old and was away from us for the first time. We were anxious of course but after the first day we knew she was in the most caring hands. Yuri and Ana took the best care of her in the baby group, so much so that we cried when she graduated to the toddler group! They set up cute activities like a little kiddie pool in the summer and celebrated her first birthday with a very sweet party. She is incredibly loved by those two! And then in the toddler group, she is having the time of her life. They have weekly music class where a teacher comes and plays piano with songs, dance class, art class with projects, you name it! Our daughter always runs to the door when we arrive and is so happy when I pick her up. They even taught the kids a Mother's Day song which my daughter sings around the house (brought me to tears!). She is now 20mo and so advanced, which we attribute to PLS. She can count to 13, knows her ABCs, and many songs. And she learns discipline at school. The children are so loved, but you can also tell how much they respect the teachers and how well they listen, which translates back at home. I truly cannot recommend this place enough and happy to answer any questions anyone might have! This is a big decision and can be scary, but we couldn't be happier.

They put so much time, effort, and LOVE into everyday, with specially crafted activities, circle time, and outdoor experiences. An additional perk was GORGEOUS photos uploaded to a shared app where we could really see how our kids were thriving. They were also very patient, thoughtful and communicative as our daughter struggled with some behavioral issues. They also did their best to accommodate changing schedules and were truly understanding when we needed flexibility. Honestly, Shauna and Sam were so much like family we would share updates outside of school (like how potty training was going - eek! - and our kids first soccer game), and we're SO emotional as we move on. If you're still unsure which daycare to go with, I hope this makes your decision easier. We love you Tiny Visionaries!
