Once his grade started to slip significantly, we reached out to AJ and were paired with Tyler. He was instrumental in helping my son not only raise his grade, but also build the confidence he needed to succeed. He is now helping other students in the class and scoring much higher on his tests and quizzes. We are very grateful for Tyler's support and highly recommend AJ Tutoring.

My son received math tutoring for BC Calculus from Tyler Vanvalkenburg who was EXCELLENT. Tyler was…read moreeffective in explaining concepts in a way that stuck for my son, enabling my son to earn an A on his final exam and improving his overall grade. The reason I'm writing the review is because in addition to being a great tutor, Tyler's friendly and approachable style was a great fit for my son, and he did an exceptional job in communicating with me. He seems to genuinely care about his tutees...he followed up after exams and AP testing to check in on how my son did. I 100% recommend AJ Tutoring and Tyler. Effective, and just good people.

We have our son enrolled for their college prep program. This is a second company we are trying as…read moreour daughter used a different place and like Flex much more. They have a good program and the quality of their SAT prep classes are very good. I am a bit concerned that they don't offer as many enrichment classes and they are not really classes as they are tutorials during the academic year. We are used to the enrichment classes. If your child has a teacher in school that doesn't teach well, there is very little you can do at Flex as there are classes helping you with questions but not teaching per se. Also the enrollment is limited and if you sign up for the all in one package, you would expect to have the availability but the classes fill up fast. We love our college counselor; Dan Kwon. He is the best we have had so far. Great character, sense of humor and knows how to reach out to the students at a level they can connect.

I purchased a big packet for my son to use for all his SAT, AP classes prep and we were told that…read moreafter graduation, if there are any unused hours left, we can get refund!! Due to Covid 19, most of the classes were canceled or became virtual. I decided to request refund and it took us couple months before we were able to get our money back.

We had a great experience with Novel Prep's Cupertino Center for college counseling. Lynn and the…read moreteam were very knowledgeable, patient, and organized throughout the entire process.

By the end of the course, he already knew the range that he could realistically expect from the SAT.

As a parent, I honestly felt we had started the college application process too late. We first…read morebegan working with Mr. Park during the summer before senior year, and I was worried there would not be enough time to really help my son. But after meeting him, my thinking completely changed. From the beginning, Mr. Park was very clear, organized, and realistic with us. He did not just give general advice like many other counselors. He took time to understand my son's strengths, personality, and goals, and gave guidance based specifically on him. That made a very big difference for us. He helped a lot with essays and personal statements. Many times he pushed my son to think deeper and explain his experiences better, and I could see the improvement over time. His feedback was very detailed and personal, not advice that I could find online. What I appreciated most was that he was honest and straightforward while still being very supportive. The college process can be stressful for both students and parents, but Mr. Park helped make everything feel much more manageable. My son also became more confident, organized, and mature during this process. I truly feel Mr. Park cares about his students and wants them to succeed long term, not only for college admissions. I would highly recommend him to any family looking for genuine and personalized college counseling support.

I write this recommendation as a reflection of the process we went through with Mr. Park. We…read moreweren't sure what to do or what we were looking for when we searched for a counselor. We searched and met with a few counselors before deciding to go with Mr. Park. It is one of the best things we did for our child and for ourselves. Mr. Park helped our child navigate through his entire high school and the college application process. Mr. Park continues to mentor him even after our son graduated high school and left for college. Mr. Park's guidance is very direct and genuine in the student's best interest. You can see he guides each of his students differently based on their capabilities and their aspirations. He is very honest with them if they are going down the wrong path and guides them back onto the right track in order to maximize their potentials. He can be critical at times, but as we reflected back, it was in the best interest of the student. He took the pressure off the parents. More times than not, parents worry more than we should and it can have an opposite effect despite us thinking its our good intentions. I strongly recommend him as a coach and guidance counselor for any students who really want to strive to get into the best universities in the country. He help guided our child into the top 10 colleges in the country. At the end when reflecting back....Mr. Park's impact was beyond just a high school planning and college application process, but he instilled some life perspectives that are very important for long term success. We have a second child that is a bit younger, but we do plan to have Mr. Park guide the younger one too!

As a way to support them with school work we approached Ana to see if she could help. She came highly recommended by our medical care providers and I had heard a couple of her talks. After a brief consultation with Ana, I was sure this is the type of support we needed. I am so glad we made the decision to send our child to Green Ivy. After just two sessions we observed that our child was allocating time every day for certain tasks, and had developed a sense of control over their schedule. After just a few months of Green Ivy their grades are the best they have been. Although grades were not the driver for us parents, the improvement in grades has done wonders to the fragile/developing self esteem of our teen. There is a sense of joy in going to school, learning new things at school. I have seen them get work done on Saturdays so they can spend time with friends on Sundays. School is no longer a drag and they have developed an air of confidence that is such a joy to see as a parent. I had not realized the extent to which executive functioning coaching can help a child like ours. I have no ambiguity in thought regarding that now. Without a doubt, Green Ivy has been the link between our child's high functioning brain and success at school. Green Ivy has been life changing for our child and therefore for us!
