Their sessions were centered on strategy and learning how to organize and develop good study habits and while content teaching was a part of it, our son's growth into a confident student was the most important benefit. The last session with Jason is next week. Our son will be graduating from Ballard High School next Wednesday (with straight As) and in fall he is starting at UW Engineering - majoring in MechEng and Industrial Design. My husband and I are very grateful to Greg and Jason for all the support in last 4+ years. It was really great to know that even though our sone would not really listen to us, Jason will likely get through him and point him in the right direction. It was wonderful to work with NWES. finding them was one of the luckiest accidents!

A few months ago, I was applying for jobs and was felt like my cover letter writing skills were…read morerusty. Even though Heather's primary focus is working with high school students, I reached out for help with my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile. She had great advice regarding how to increase my attractiveness and visibility to recruiters including appropriate buzzwords on my LinkedIn profile. Once I was selected for interviews, Heather helped coach me through commonly asked questions. It was very useful to consult someone who has been on the other side of selecting and interviewing candidates. I ended up significantly revamping my resume and reaching out to recruiters on LinkedIn and I was successful in securing my desired position. Heather is approachable and professional. I appreciated her honesty and sincerity throughout the process and I found her feedback to be extremely valuable. I would highly recommend her if you are seeking assistance in presenting yourself to prospective employers or colleges.

My experience is the same as Jamie J.'s. Steven, Sandy and Kaitlin were fantastic and gave as much…read moreof their time as I needed to get me where I wanted to be before the June 2011 LSAT (all the tutoring is included in tuition!) After taking Steven Klein's course, my score increased from the 40th percentile to the 83rd percentile. Not only did Steven and Kaitlin help me increase my score by a gigantic amount, they made the process enjoyable. From day 1, Steven told everyone they would be ready and built up both skills at taking the test and confidence in those skills in the students. The Steven Klein LSAT Company was recommended to me on three separate occasions by completely unrelated people who all had rave reviews. Steven has taught over 6,000 students, and he has studying for the test down to a science. Now, having successfully taken the test, I am taking advantage of the Sandy's assistance with applying to law school (another service that is included in the tuition!), and because I took LSAT prep from the Steven Klein LSAT Company I am confident I will get into a great school. Take an hour to drop by Steven's office in the University Heights Center or just visit the website. I would not go anywhere else for your LSAT needs.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE: Signed my son up for the Ultimate SAT Prep course. They sent the…read morematerials for class a few business days before class with an ETA to arrive after class has started.

The career center at the UW is not bad…read more I have used its services many times as a student. It was great. You normally schedule an appointment weeks in advance for a counseling session or workshop. You come in and swipe your student card and check-in electronically, which is very convenient. All of the staff's calendars get booked really quickly so for me, I normally had to wait for at least 3-5 weeks for a 30-minute appointment. The career center has staff who specifically helps out with resumes and cover letters. They are all pretty professional and good with their work. However, a short 30-minute session always goest by really fast, especially if the staff does not know you well. I think that is the only downside of the career center at a big public university. Every time I go in, I would have a different staff assisting with my resumes. It delays the process of getting to the actual issues that need to be addressed at the session. It is often much easier if I could just have one staff consistently helping me over-time. That is why I prefer departmental career center over the general one at the school. If you have already graduated from the university, then the service requires a fee. I believe it is $60 for a 60-minute resume session. Workshops would also require a fee. So take the free service advantage as a student while you can!

I had special requests since my son didn't really need help with high school classes and she was more than happy to accommodate. I asked Carol if she could help my son with improving his scores on the SAT (+200), help with writing personal statements, and help keeping him organized with deadlines for college applications. Carol did an amazing job assigning him homework and giving him direction on how to research schools, fill out applications, etc. I referred her to another kid on the soccer team that needed that extra boost. My son liked her and she was a great motivator and personable. I don't think I could have got through Senior year without her on our side- She was worth every penny and lifted the stress off my shoulders as a single mother that has never been through the college process. Thank you so much Carol! Brandon and Christine
