Disclaimer: This is the first negative review I have ever written. I have never left a negative…read morereview online, only positive when I'm happy with a business but due to how horrible my experience was with this business, I had to inform others. Prep with Jen is not really prep with "Jen". I went by the Google reviews not realizing that the most recent review was over a year ago... If you are interested in private lessons, be prepared to pay $110+ for an hour and you aren't even getting sessions with Jen. She subcontracts her sessions out to other tutors and has very little oversight over the sessions other than her being cc'd on the summary emails. They don't record sessions (even my son's wyznat tutors record sessions!), and her tutors are not as qualified or engaging as she is. She picks up the phone and talks a lot with you before you sign up, builds a personal plan and approach but once you drop thousands of dollars on her packages, she disappears and only reappears when the tutor summons her over an extremely trivial issue (rescheduling class time requests in our case). She isn't interested in customer service and is only concerned with maximizing her tutors schedule with clients. I would not recommend at all - not only was the tutor not worth the rate, her customer service was horrible after we signed the contract UPDATE: In response to Jen's response, her claims are bogus. Her tutor wasn't happy that we asked to reschedule 3 times out of 8 sessions because of 1 time having the flu , one time a serious car accident and 1 time an unforeseeable conflict! Rather than picking up the phone and discussing with the family, Jen claimed my son was unengaged which was absolute lies! How non empathetic is that?! My son is an honors student with 4.3 GPA so forgive me if I think you're claims are bogus... She has zero evidence to back up her below claims, as my sons score already improved but majorly due to his own studying and not because of her tutors sessions which pretty much was a project management approach of watching my son complete assignments rather than truly explaining concepts. Although we accommodated changes in timing by her tutor for 5 sessions, her tutor for some reason didn't appreciate 3 reschedules and then made these bogus claims of unegagement to Jen that she decided to not even validate with the family. If you want personalized instruction with a tutoring organization that is invested in your personal success, this isn't the place for you.

I took the 8-week summer SAT prep course with Jen, and with her help, I got a score of 1550 on the…read moreDigital SAT (DSAT) on my first attempt! This score was a massive 300-point improvement from my PSAT that I took the year before. Initially, Jen's class helped me to familiarize myself and solve the different types of reading, grammar, and math questions, giving me the initial bump to the 1450 range on a practice test. Then, she taught me to be more vigilant regarding the more deceptive questions, ultimately allowing me to get consistent scores in the mid to high 1500s on the College Board practice SATs. Throughout the process, Jen was very accommodating and answered all of my and my parent's questions about the DSAT. I highly recommend this class to students at all levels looking to improve their scores and can't thank Jen enough for my improvement.

You don't lose out on test time if you get registered after your scheduled start time. Go inside, take a number, wait to be called. They have lockers to put your stuff away while you take your test. Would recommend wearing clothes with the fewest pockets as you'll be asked to flip them inside out every time you leave the exam room. The room is on the slightly chillier side, would recommend a sweater (I went in February). The people running it know what they're doing, just follow their rules so you don't get flagged. A nice touch was they offered ear plugs. I didn't think to bring any but it was good for me to avoid hearing anyone else typing or clicking.

Approximately 4 people arrived after me (we all had 8am exam appointments). Check in doesn't take that long, but I recommend getting there early so you don't have to wait. The test setup was the best I've seen- one room with desks facing the wall, with the proctor seated outside a large glass window. I was provided with two different types of headphones, headphone covers, a dry erase sheet, marker, tissues, and earplugs. The room was a bit warm, I would recommend calling the day prior to your exam to ask if it's on the cold/warm side to make sure you dress appropriately as jackets can't be worn inside. Last thing to note: parking is free and plentiful. I will try to schedule all of my future certification exams here!

Like the other review there did seem to be plenty of parking but I walked from the metro, it was a 5-10 minute walk out of the metro parking lot and 2-3 blocks up the road. The testing center is on the 6th floor in an office building with a small elevator. It's a small office, with a couple of employees. The lady that checked me in was nice and efficient. She checked my two forms of ID, took my photo, gave me a key to lock up all my things, and had me read and sign a form with information for my exam. I'm pretty sure I was at least 30 minutes early for my exam time but she brought me back to one of the two rooms they seemed to have for exams. It was a small room with a couple of computers, there was a lady already in there taking an exam. She left maybe 10 minutes after I started my exam and I had the room to myself the rest of the entire time I was there. I was given a white board and marker to write on and told I could begin when ready after verifying my name on the computer screen and reading more instructions. My review is really 3 1/2 stars because the room had the loudest damn air conditioner that cut off and on during the exam. I like complete silence when taking an exam, especially when I have to read a lot and my nerves are already shot lol. I was super aware of this AC almost my entire exam but eventually it faded into the background. Also, the room is very small...it was fine for me since I had it to myself after the lady left but others might not like it. If you are pressed for time and need a place to take an exam on a Sunday, this place will do.

There are a variety of comfortable chairs to choose from, the desks are spaced apart so you don't feel crowded, and the customer service has a personal touch. It's the type of calm environment you want before taking a job test. The building is a short walk from Branch Ave Metro (Greenline) but if you drive, there seems to be plenty of parking. I've had to use other test centers in the past and this one was pleasant and organized. As opposed to brusque and as if you were just filling a time slot. Next! Two thumbs up!

After attending both the 2016 summer SAT program and the extended winter SAT program, I can firmly…read moresay that Elite Prep truly does help students to grow beyond their known limits. I have personally improved my SAT score and SAT Mathematics II test score by over 250 points: A feat that I could only accomplish through Elite Prep's instructors and curriculum. After attending other SAT prep academies, I found that many tend to cram hundreds of SAT vocabulary words and assign a ridiculous number of pages to students. By the end of these programs, students, including myself, cannot remember a single piece of valuable information. Elite Prep, on the other hand, thoroughly goes over each and every page of its books and assigns an appropriate number of vocab words, making sure that every single student understands concepts and solutions to complicated problems. I found that Elite Prep also tends to be fairly strict in preserving an atmosphere of comfortable and kind learning: an atmosphere where students speak up to learn from mistakes rather than staying quiet for the fear of embarrassment (an environment found in many other SAT prep academies). Overall, I would definitely recommend Elite Prep for anyone looking for that just right SAT prep class. p.s. There happens to be a deli right underneath Elite Prep where students can buy lunches or small snacks. This works well for students who don't happen to have packed lunches.

It is a great place for all students to gain a real advantage for the SAT. During my time there…read moreover the summer, I realized that the program was very organized and had a clear plan to allow us to achieve our SAT goals. However, it is not a magical system. In order to truly improve the SAT score, it takes dedication. Honestly if you just stick with the plan throughly, your score will improve by a lot even though it may be challenging. The teachers there are very helpful and they will challenge you to always do your best. I also enrolled in their College Admissions Counseling, and I truly believe it was the reason I could successfully apply to all my colleges diligently and accurately. The advice and assistance given is crucial for not only writing essays, but submission timing, interviews, and pretty much anything that correlated with applying to college. They will help you throughout the entire process and it really is a great program so you should take advantage of it.
