    Took the LSAT PowerScore prep course, and I couldn't be more displeased. My class was with Jon…read moreDenning (PowerScore's Vice President) and despite my attempts to meet with Jon, he proved to be too busy to care about his students. I told him I was struggling and asked if he thought I should get an actual tutor through PowerScore, he insisted that I probably didn't need one and he offered to tutor me. Too bad he never showed up to show up for any of the times we scheduled. Before I knew it, it was time to take the LSAT. Jon urged us all to contact him AFTER we took the LSAT, which I did. He said he would try and go over the test materials with me, and 3 emails asking for help later, he never did. I could have used the $1400 for my class to get a real tutor, not have my time wasted as I was seeking help and wasn't given any. I'm so incredibly disappointed.

    Powerscore is extremely unreliable…read more I enrolled in a full-length in person LSAT course last year and planned my entire Fall semester college schedule so I could take it. Powerscore then called to inform me four days before the start of the class that it was cancelled. They withheld my refund until I shipped back their course materials, and offered no discount or voucher for my inconvenience. I was left with a less-than-ideal college schedule and couldn't take certain classes I would've taken otherwise, as I wasn't given adequate notice of the Powerscore class cancellation. I thought this may be a one-time mistake and gave Powerscore another chance (big mistake). I enrolled in one of their weekend-long accelerated courses and was just informed that it was cancelled again, five days before the class was due to start. Luckily I hadn't made such a big commitment as I had prior, and I am lucky I didn't plan my entire semester around a full-length course that would likely be cancelled again. It's very disappointing, as I have heard great things about their LSAT books. I wanted to learn the techniques in a classroom setting, but it seems that the company is not competent or organized enough to offer anything that they promise.

    This location is so difficult to find that I had to use 2 GPSs. It's tucked away in an little…read moreoffice complex behind a shopping center in West Ashley; not visible from the road. Prometric is a testing facility that quite a few companies contract out to proctor their exams. While the location was hard to find the facility itself isn't that much nicer. It's a small little office space that when you walk in are 2 desks where the workers sit and a room full of small partial cubicles for the test takers. While the 2 guys working here seem friendly enough, it is a little intimidating taking a test here. First you enter and sign in, give the guys 2 forms of IDs, then put everything you have on you in a locker. But the kicker is how they search you and wand you down to make sure you aren't sneaking anything into the test with you; even though they have cameras pointed on each little cube in the testing room. All this security precautions just seem to be unnecessary; as most test taker here are adults taking an exam for their employer. I have less issue going through TSA at an airport.

    Get ready for constant video and audio surveillance…read more.. At Prometric, you are forced to endure the most stressful future-deciding exams without even a sentimental token of your real life. No, you may not bring your bag, your water bottle, your pens... You will enter the lab with only regulation conforming, newly issued pencils, and your government ID. Should you get warm, and take off your jacket, it will promptly be removed from the room. Bathroom breaks are noted, requiring signatures and ID upon re-entry. To any university admissions counselors reading: Rest assured, you can take any Charleston area scores at face value. The Prometric crew is nothing if not professional. To their credit, they did provide secure lockers, water, coffee, miniature cupcakes, kleenex, etc. outside the lab door. OK, the cupcakes barely looked edible, but they were a nice gesture. And, contrary to my SAT testing experiences (on paper!), you are issued your exam on your own computer, and begin when processed. An early arrival might earn you an early start, instead of more time in a room of nervous test takers, waiting for the mandatory monologues about the nature of the exam.

    This review based on the initial client intake and customer service. I've not gotten far enough in…read morethe process to review the actual tutors/methods. I called about two weeks ago to find out about their summer schedule for upper level math tutoring. The phone representative was very pleasant but really could not help me with my questions. They seemed unfamiliar with the upper level math at this location. I had checked the website in advance to confirm they did indeed tutor for higher math, but after speaking with their rep on the phone I no longer felt sure. The rep took down my name and number to pass along to I think the owner. I've never gotten a call back and that was at least 2 weeks ago. My guess is upper level math is outside of their typical client request. Perhaps this location prefers to focus on elementary and middle school students. This is completely fine but their website and customer service should be equipped to explain this to potential new clients. I've waited around for a response when I could have been proceeding with other tutoring centers in town. I wish they had just been upfront with me from the get-go. We will be using online resources and supplementing with tutoring elsewhere this summer. I have heard great things about this franchise in general but this particular location still has some customer service points to refine.

    My son started Mathnasium during his 5th grade. He is now a junior in high school taking AP CalcBC…read more I can't begin to express my gratitude toward Tony, Edward, and the staff. Through the supportive and confidence-building environment, my son has never felt behind in STEM-related subjects. He actually likes math! With that, he has had the fortune of participating in the summer programs through DukeTiP for two consecutive years, and recently, he has been accepted to Carnegie Mellon University and Boston University pre-college summer programs for rising seniors. Without the well-thought-out and nurturing support from Mathnasium during his formative years, he would not be where he is today. As math is the foundational building block for various subjects as prerequisites, I feel that every child benefits from a solid math background. Without reservation, I can state that Mathnasium is a caring support system that helped my son feel confident in math and beyond.
