After starting with a different (and expensive) college counselor located in Santa Monica and SAT…read moretutor (expensive) who both came highly recommended but were essentially completely useless, we received a glowing recommendation for Blue Train and made the switch. Best decision ever. Our two sons used Blue Train for multiple things over their junior and senior years - test assessment/diagnostic, ACT prep and guidance, college list building, guidance re HS classes and even extra curricular advise, as well as navigating the college application process and the all-important essay drafting. Scott and the people at Blue Train put the boys on a very manageable schedule and in fact, both of our sons were totally done with most applications by Thanksgiving. Both boys got into tons of schools, got thrown tons of money, and this entire process was so smooth because of Blue Train's guidance. We event consulted with Scott when deciding which schools to attend. I cannot say enough how effective and impressive Blue Train was. Highly recommend !!!

I'm just as happy with Blue Train now as I was in my previous review.

I've referred several friends to them and my friends have all been really happy.

At that time he was taught how to read and was potty trained as well by the lovely staff. When my son started kindergarten he was ahead of many kids.

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.

Not only was he able to tutor both calculus AP and Physics AP, he had an engaging personality one doesn't often see in the math and science folks and a good sense of humor to boot. With Alex's help my brother is much more confident in both courses and is getting through these two very difficult classes with an A in Calculus AP and a B+ in Physics AP. (hopefully it will be an A soon). I can't speak for other tutors but for Alex i'd give 6 stars if i was able to.

He was so flexible and accommodating since it was very last minute and I also work. I have had two sessions with him since and it was great! He met me at the library right near my house which was really convenient. I was really struggling in the first session and he even stayed for an extra hour to help make sure I was ready for my quiz the next day. I went into the session not knowing anything about pre-calc or trigonometry and I got a 12/10 on my quiz the next day. I would definitely recommend PV tutors to anyone in the South Bay!

I averaged about $400 per week including material (which they made me pay full even for 3 weeks) and he didnt even have much to do for all day. Extremely unhappy 1 star is for the studies.

The nice thing about Quest is that they have several electives that kids can choose from.
