From managing critical deadlines and interpreting sometimes confusing application requirements, their expert guidance allows the student to maximize their efforts into generating top notch applications, which then yield results.

There is no doubt I will use College X-ing for my other children as well.

The Arizona Language Center class materials not only offer challenges, but are planned out with insight on what the students seek and where they need help with their learning goals.

The college search and application process is stressful and can be very confusing. Erin Goodnow was…read morethe perfect coach and advisor for our high school senior, especially in a Covid world where old patterns are upended. Erin is kind and compassionate and worked with our daughter to help her identify a solid list of schools. From there, she was a great guide - putting in place a system to keep our daughter on track with applications, essays, and all that is required to put a solid application together. As decisions come in, Erin has been a thoughtful sounding board - helping navigate choices, giving well-received advice, and sharing her own ideas. Bottom line - she is great. It was an investment that we would make again and recommend to others. We have a younger son, and I look forward to working with Erin when the time comes. The only thing I would do differently is reach out to her earlier....probably sometime in the junior year. Note - I am writing this as our daughter is in the midst of the process, and I think that is the right time to write this. The review is not meant to suggest that Erin is a guarantee to any school, or that is even what is best for a kid. Rather, she is a great counsellor through the process, helping her students self-identify the right fits, and there are many, through the process, a word I used a lot here. Maybe a kid writing a college essay would find a better synonym, but I already went to college (!) and it fits. It is a process - it takes time, patience, and trust. I am confident that Erin Goodnow and he team at Going Ivy are the right folks to walk the path with.

As the director, Tina was very responsive and flexible in working with us every step of the way. Most importantly, this company has a lot of heart.

My score went up 12 points from my diagnostic (I'm retaking in June because I know I can do better if I re-go over all my homework from class) I think I would suggest taking the class meant for the June LSAT and take the October once you've had enough time to really solidify everything. It's a ton of homework and a lot of time for someone who works full time and goes to school full time. Worth every single penny though! I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to do the homework and go over everything before the next class. If you have more time to spend, I would just take the class meant for the LSAT you are studying for. I looked forward to class most of the time and always felt more confident about the LSAT after leaving class. I was also not nervous going into the test and that peace of mind is worth the money right there. I would highly suggest it if you're serious about the LSAT and serious about getting into law school.

He took plenty of time to make sure everything was understood and tried his best to make things interesting...but let's be honest, learning the inner workings of insurance is dry to say the least. They provided plenty of learning materials offered as much assistant as is possible. For what it was the class was great and very informative. Highly recommended. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5? They only offer uncovered parking so my car was essentially an oven every time I left.

Update: 2015-08-22 Well, passed my exam and I would say that the materials provided by TesTeachers…read moreare complete and informative. I also did not experience an outtage again, so I'm bumping them up to 3 stars. Haven't heard that they've done anything to permanently mitigate the outtages, but if I do, they get another star or two from me as they have a complete package otherwise. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Update: 2015-12 This is a little delayed, but I was contacted directly by TesTeachers and they apologized for the outage and assured me that they do have backup systems but on occasion, even with backups, they've encountered short term outages in the past. They also offered me a highly discounted rate if I chose to do further training through them in the future. Changing my recommendation to 5 stars even though I will probably not need further training, simply in view of their good service and follow up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Original Review: Training for Insurance license. The company I'm with recommends this online provider, so here I am. The content is good, users can also download and review material offline which is nice. The reason that it's not 4 or 5 stars is because they don't seem to have a reliable server that they host their online software on. Trying to logon today and their website is "not found?!!" Spoke with customer service and their systems are also down. Seriously? There is a California-mandated timer on their website that makes sure that you're active and logs your time. You can't pass until you've been active on the site for the set amount of time. So, anyone trying to study and get time credited is out of luck until their servers are back up as there is no way to manually credit you study time either. I understand that this is partially the fault of the State of California and their silly rules, but as a serious service provider being paid serious $, there is really little excuse these days to be down for an hour or more (in the middle of the day), unless your cloud infrastructure is being hosted in someone's garage. TesTeachers, do us all a favor and use AWS or another serious, redundant backend please. Downtime in the middle of the day is no longer excusable when there are so many options for redundancy. Our time is valuable, please respect your customers by not wasting it. Let me know that you've taken steps to mitigate this issue and I will gladly raise my rating to a 4 or 5. Fellow yelpers, before forking over your money, ask a company about their outtages and if they're doing anything to mitigate them. Don't get stuck with a company that will drop offline when you need them.
