I cannot recommend this program strongly enough! Shannon helps you be what you want to be. I am the…read moresame person I was before her program - yet simultaneously completely different. I had been on an exhaustive 10-year career search, looking for a position that fit others' expectations of where I should be next . . . Not realizing that the career I was already making for myself, was most closely aligned with my values, beliefs, and desire to live a balanced, yet well-paid life that puts my happiness, and presence for my children first. (As Shannon put it, I am like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz - in that I didn't need to "look any further than my own back yard.") I wanted clarity over the future direction of my career, and to get to where I want to be. This goal was met due to the expert advice of Shannon. My product and brand has been strengthened, and I am much more mindful and intentional about the career decisions I make. Shannon listens, then reminds you what you said is important to YOU, rather than fit you into a cookie-cutter program. I wholeheartedly recommend the Whole U. process.

Those of us who don't work in career advising don't really know what we're doing when it comes to…read morechanging a career. I'd hire a professional to fix my car, or operate on my heart... so I'd certainly hire a pro to guide my way to my new career. Working with Shannon helped me set up a road map to reach my goal. I learned how to: write a 21st-century resume, re-do my LinkedIn page, and I learned (again) that there's no time like the present to start the first step toward my goal. I learned that my goal isn't ridiculous and could actually provide a huge benefit to people. I really appreciate the holistic approach to Whole U. advising services. Everything in this world is interconnected, whether one believes that in a spiritual or scientific way, and one's career is not excluded from that.

I don't write online reviews. Especially not 6 years after the purchase. But Scott deserves an…read moreexception. I knew MBA applications were a long shot for me to begin with. Coming from a no-name international school (not known to the U.S. application dropdown menu), I was hoping that I "had it in me", but at the same time know that I needed to craft the perfect application, most importantly the essays, to stand out. My first call was into Sandy Kreisberg. My second into Scott. I went with Scott, and never regretted it. The results spoke for themselves: 4 applications (all top schools), 3 admissions, including my dream choice: Stanford GSB. Scott knows inside out how to tailor your best and hightest-chance-of-success application package. He continually challenged me to craft the unique and authentic essays that opened the doors to the top MBA programs for me. And as if that all was not already a utopia of awesomeness, Scott helped me secur e a full-ride scholarship from my national government. I mean, give me a break, Scott. When I arrived on campus, GSB's (back then) Dean of Admissions Derrick Bolton took me by the side and told me it was my "What Matters Most To You and Why" essay that made the difference. I honestly look at that essay and I think it's the best piece I have ever written in my life. Would have not been the case without Scott. Beyond essays, Scott is a fountain of wisdom for school selection, general application strategies, resume editing, picking recommenders, and being there for you during the emotional rollercoaster than MBA applications can be. Take my word. I could not think of a better person than Scott to partner up for this journey that can be such a life-changer. Certainly was for me. THANK YOU, SCOTT.

Avoid Jim Clarke at all costs! We hired him as a long-term tutor for our kids, he asked $3,000 and…read morewe paid him his asking rate, with no receipt given. He started tutoring them, although he was often late and often cut their lessons short. Then, he suddenly disappeared. Repeated calls, texts, and emails went unanswered.

Please be warned, if you are thinking about hiring him, please think twice! He is very unreliable!

Ryan Judkins is extremely communicative and organized, providing immediate feedback on sessions. Even his invoices are well done making electronic payment easy and seamless. My daughter didn't always apply herself but in the end she really pushed and Ryan was there to keep her going. Her scores rose in all categories and she got to a comfortable score which was terrific. He gives very concrete strategies and really understands the SAT mindset, particularly the verbal side. Highly recommend Ryan and his team.

From the owner: At Bootstrap Tutors, our mission is to offer the highest quality of tutoring for academic subjects,…read moretest preparation, and college admissions. All of our tutors are experienced professors and teachers, not college students with high test scores. We're founded on the core beliefs that there is no substitute for hard, one-on-one work with an expert teacher and that education should be radically transparent and inclusive. We don't take shortcuts, because shortcuts don't work. We teach our students to master their subjects from the core concepts up. Every step along that long road is necessary, but we'll be with you all the way. We're called Bootstrap Tutors because "bootstrapping" typically refers to starting a self-sustaining process, and that's our goal. If we do our job right, soon you won't need us. We offer free consultations and straightforward rates and policies. We're a small business based in Somerville, Massachusetts, but we also provide virtual tutoring.

HSA tutoring is a fraudulent service…read more Dont be blindsided by how they market themselves on the website as being top tier Harvard students or the fact they only employ the best for tutoring. which is a lie they employ any homeless person and brand them as high achieving Harvard students. The reality is they employ individuals who don't care about tutoring. An even less about you as the client. All the agency is interested in taking money from clients. I failed my assignment after taking up a tutoring service with HSA. Yes you heard right failed. Yet they claim they are Harvard rising stars. I was assigned a tutor a month before my assignment was due which was very reasonable. however, the tutor they assigned me didnt respond to my emails for weeks and only contacted me couple of days before my assignment was due to fit me in at 8pm at night. What a complete joke of a service !!! Honestly HSA is a con, stay well away from this place, other wise you will be deceived. Take your kid to a reliable tutoring service !

She worked with three different tutors throughout the package, Christine, Daniela, and Iman. They were all great and very communicative in terms of scheduling, and so was the HSA coordinator team. Did an outstanding job of listening to all feedback and making any needed adjustments, and the one time an online session was required due to scheduling, everything went super smoothly. Iman especially is outstanding! Our daughter made great strides working with her, getting through tons of material, honing testing skills, and building the kind of confidence that can really make or break the big day. She's amazing at giving day and week of prep advice above and beyond pen and paper. Thanks for all your hard work, HSA Tutoring!

I have nothing but positive things to say about my child's time at LCS:…read more The staff were full of love and brought so much care and attention to my little one every day. All of the teachers/caregivers work very well as a team and take the time to get to know and love each of the children they look after and it really does show on the faces of the little ones attending the program. The learning curriculum is engaging for the kids and the communications with parents are frequent and clear . The Brightwheel app updates are amazing; seeing photos of my kid every day really brightened my mood. The physical space within the daycare is fun and inviting, with each classroom mocked up as a house or building in a neighborhood (hallway). I'd HIGHLY recommend this daycare to anyone in the Brookline/Boston area looking for somewhere their LO can socialize, exercise, learn, and grow in a safe and loving environment.

Both of my kids spent several years at LCSH, starting (for kid #1 at age 4, and kid #2 from 9…read moremonths). Between them, they passed through every classroom. There was not a single room that we (and they) didn't love! My son left for Kindergarten a year ago and my daughter is leaving now at age 3 to be closer to our home for pick-up/drop-off reasons. I'm so incredibly grateful we had LCSH to care for our children. First, the leadership. Lissy and Gladys are wonderful. They are experienced, kind, friendly, professional, and very responsive. They clearly love and know each one of the children and care for their staff. There is very little staff turnover, which both creates a very nice family atmosphere for the kids and speaks to Lissy and Gladys' leadership. When the pandemic hit, Lissy and Gladys did everything they could to keep the children safe while understanding the needs of working parents. I also have compared their tuition to many other places and they are very reasonable. Second, the staff! They are such wonderful people - my kids loved them all because they are warm, loving, and great educators. My son was fully ready for Kindergarten and my daughter has learned fine motor skills, sharing, listening, resolving conflicts, and fairness. Often teachers from previous years would see my daughter in the hallway and give her big hugs. It meant a lot to us that they felt surrounded by people who care. Third, the other programs. Lissy and Gladys keep things fresh by bringing in music teachers, having field days, sports, and many other activities. My daughter looked forward to every Thursday when Ms. Monica would come to her class and bring instruments for the kids to play and to dance. Finally, the community. The parents and other children are a lovely group of people. We are sad to leave LCSH, but grateful we have the memories. If you visit the school - especially Boylston street - it's not the most beautiful location. But don't judge based on that! The school itself is very nice and the teachers get the kids out and about to the local parks for sports, water parties in the summer, and playground fun. Ultimately, LCSH is a great place with people who truly care about kids and families.
