He truly wants to help students put forth the best versions of themselves in the application process. Premier Prep is the ideal partner for navigating college admissions throughout the course of high school or simply if you need application help during senior year. I can't say enough good things about Justin and Premier Prep!

Though Premiere Prep is typically geared towards high school students preparing for college, I used…read morethis company for hourly consultations for my academic transition. I didn't know it when I met him, but Justin was a game changer for me. I never knew the value or importance of receiving professional academic/career guidance. I can honestly say that I would not be nearly close to where I am today without Justin's guidance or support. He has helped me in my professional development through editing my resumes, interviewing skills, and most importantly, he saw my potential and helped me realize it too. His advice is honest and compassionate (though not necessarily what I always wanted to hear) and he wholeheartedly invested his time in me. Justin helped me transition through one of the most difficult times in my life between undergrad and post-undergrad at UCI. These days, I am proud to say I am at my top choice graduate program in occupational therapy. Whether it is college counseling or personal development, you couldn't be in better hands with Justin or his team at Premiere Prep.

The thing that has stuck with me, though, is that they are not just knowledgeable but genuinely care about my journey, and I really felt that they wanted to help me reach my full potential. I cannot thank them enough and feel they are absolutely worth working with, given how much my life's trajectory has changed since working with them. Their feedback on my essays and app was absolutely invaluable, and their scientific methodological breakdown approach was reassuring. I personally worked with Dr. Brian Haig and have also spoken with Dr. Jeffrey Haig, and I highly recommend either of them if anyone else is looking for a college counselor! Thank you so much for everything!

Given the high fees they charge, I expected a much higher level of expertise and personalized guidance, but the consulting they provided fell far short of those expectations, revealing a significant gap between their promises and the actual value delivered.

This is our 3rd year at Crown and it is a very vibrant and valuable homeschool community whose…read morefamilies come from all homeschooling flavors- from PSA, PSP, charter, hybrid and everything in between. Family membership of $100 a year gives you access to all their robust calendar offerings- from group field trips to park days, age appropriate events to hard to book places like Logan's Candies in Ontario or Getty Villa, and dances/social events. An additional $100 a year per family gives access to a Wednesday co-op where the community is more connected. All the parent teacher giftings are on display in the quality of the class offerings and the caliber of the parent teachers and helpers. I've been teaching for 2 years now and it is a blessing to see all the students learning in a collaborative environment at a beautiful location-Calvary Chapel of the Canyons! I have dozens of photos of other classes, events and field trips, but have attached my personally taught and attended ones. There are designated preview days and an annual open house around April each year. Come check us out!

I'm writing this from a parent's perspective. My son is in 9th grade and goes to Modus for both ACT…read moreprep (bootcamp this past spring and then again this coming summer) AND college counseling. There are a million places that it is almost overwhelming. I've come to realize that many "hagwans" (learning centers) outright lie about what they can deliver and are totally shady. I liked Modus because Esther and Josephine were down to earth and very realistic. I really liked their approach and genuineness. I realize that not all 9th graders are prepared to take the ACT, but since his math is already advanced, I wanted him to get exposure to the test so he could see what he was in for. I had him go in a take the diagnostic test, which he scored well enough to make it into the spring bootcamp. My son REALLY enjoyed it. He liked learning the strategies and tips that he learned. I registered him for the upcoming summer bootcamp because HE wanted to go. Regarding college counseling with Esther. Again, I realize he is a bit young, but I wanted him to get an idea of what he needs to do. Esther spent time with him one-on-one and was able to pull so much out of him (I'm still amazed at how she was able to do it). She put together an amazing plan for him with some really excellent ideas. They seem to really relate well with students - my son thinks they are pretty cool, which is saying a lot. He went to other places and hated it, so I'm glad he has had a great experience. If you are looking to give your child an academic advantage, but with caring and genuine people, then I highly recommend Modus. UPDATE: My son's test scores improved DRAMATICALLY by attending the Summer ACT Bootcamp. I am extremely pleased with his scores and he really enjoys it, which is important.

Thanks to Isaac Kim's help, I improved my ACT score greatly, especially in science. However, it is…read moreclear that he has a lot of experience with all subjects. His expertise goes beyond what you can get out of any prep book. And I don't think I could've scored as well without his help. I learned to portion my time and he gives special techniques and hints which he developed himself. Also, he was very open to questions and he was very kind and approachable. So don't be afraid to ask questions and I guarantee, he will give you a very personalized experience. Also, my college counselor, Esther really found extracurricular activities for me that I really enjoyed and pertained to my major. She also helped me brainstorm ideas for my essays and personally, my common app essay turned out to be really unique and my personality shined through. And it was very out of the box which colleges really loved. She helped me get into so many great schools like Boston College, Carnegie Mellon University, UCLA, and Georgetown University. Overall, my experience with all of the staff at Modus (it was called Edugroup before) has made my college application process much more enjoyable and less stressful and I think I learned more about myself through this process. I really recommend Modus!

This is a great Kumon Center…read more Pros: - it's a small center which I love because it's more personal and intimate. I've been to larger centers where it's extremely crowded and you don't really feel a connection. - the center director (Ms. Sanny) is very approachable, kind, and attentive. If you have a concern, she is always willing to listen and help. She was also a former math teacher so she knows what she is teaching! - they are very flexible and accommodating. If you have to miss class, just let the director know and she will provide makeup work or whatever you need. - the teachers are all sweet and patient with the kids. - the most important reason: my kids have grown so much doing a year of Kumon! Kumon teaches you to work hard, be diligent and grow! My son learned how to read before he stared kinder thanks to this program and he's made nice progress! Cons: - the only con is that this center is only open on Tuesdays and Fridays. So if you can't come on those days, you donreally have any other option. - not a tutoring center. Kumon method is arithmetic repetition. Probably will not work for all students but worth a try!
