Mike is truly an outstanding math tutor, and I went through several tutors before I was lucky…read moreenough to find him. After being out of school for several years, he helped me build the confidence and skills I needed to get a good grade in college algebra with minimal stress. I highly recommend Mike for math tutoring...it was money well spent. - Sarah G.

We started using Mike's services when we switched elementary schools last September. Our son was…read morejust beginning Common Core and we wanted to make sure he could keep up with the rest of the class as he is one of the youngest kids. Mike's lessons on basic math skills--such as place value, equations, counting money and telling time--have been an invaluable part of our son's academic success. Mike also makes math fun and interesting for our son--so much so that he looks forward to Mike's visits. He is friendly and knowledgeable and easy to schedule. We want to note that we had tried another tutor last summer. In the 12 weeks we used her (multiple times each week), our son did not progress much at all. That was the main reason we looked around for another tutor. (That and the fact that our son was starting to hate math.) Instead of multiple weekly sessions, it's one weekly in-depth session. Mike's background, skills and experience as a tutor are clearly evident. We highly recommend him.

I used Laura's CSET I and CSET II study guides to pass those tests -- both on the first attempt…read more The Guides were spot-on -- representative of the material found on the exams. Her detailed explanations are very helpful for gaining understanding and confidence, and her style of instruction is somehow calming. -- as if to say, "relax, this is not as hard as it might seem at first". I just ordered her guide for CSET III (Calculus) and am looking forward to diving in to it. I highly recommend Laura's study guides, which can be ordered from her website at: https://sites.google.com/site/laura4math/cset-study-guides_1?authuser=0

I purchased all 3 of Laura's study guides for the math CSETs. If I was only reviewing the first 2,…read morethis would absolutely be a 5-star review: they are amazing, thorough, and exactly what you need to pass! However, I cannot advise anyone to purchase part 3 in good-faith without a strong warning. The material is fine, and she is forthcoming about this study guide being "different", but once you purchase it you'll see the quality-disparity is pretty drastic in a not-so-great way. Laura provides videos where she goes through them, but the questions are not modeled after real CSET questions , which is the entire magic of the first 2. In addition, several of the worksheets assume we can use a calculator, but calculators aren't allowed on the CSET, which proves these questions and worksheets are NOT what we actually need for the test it's supposed to be guiding us on. While I am sure part 3 is sufficient to pass, it feels very bare-minimum compared to the first 2. I think pricing all 3 equally gave a false-impression, since the disparity in usefulness/uniqueness are massive. The first 2 study guides are unlike anything else out there, and set her apart from the rest; but I cannot advise anyone to purchase part 3 unless you don't have any other resources.

Joseph was very helpful with reviewing my college essays!…read more Before I had my essays revised with him, I felt like something was off with my supplementals, and through his help I was able to identify areas that were unclear or deemed disingenuous.

Parents thank him by the hundreds for his invaluable contributions to our discussions - and his YouTube videos are a great resource, too. Although we don't live in the area, when my daughter needed guidance on some very specific questions regarding her UC application, I knew that Joey had the exact expertise to help her through the process. As a UC expert, I felt very confident that his consulting services would be beneficial in helping my daughter put her best foot forward as we slogged through the complicated journey of applying to these highly competitive, top-tier flagship schools here in California. Utilizing Joey's services was a great decision and my daughter was very comfortable working directly with him as he reviewed her application and made meaningful suggestions to help her through the final application phases. I appreciate his responsiveness and kindness in working with my daughter through this stressful time. I would not hesitate to recommend him to other parents also seeking a professional consultant who is well-versed in the mechanics of how to produce impactful and successful UC applications.

Passed the F25 CA Bar! I want to thank Prof. Fleming and the whole FFOL team for helping me…read morefinally pass. This test was particularly challenging because the remote testing for thisBar had a myriad of issues leading up to the test and during the test. During day 1 essay portion, my start time got delayed by more than an hour for connectivity issues and not having a proctor available. The 5 essays went the way I prepared until the PT essay. The cut and paste feature of the last few pages of the exam stopped working and I had to go back and forth between the file, case laws, and typing page. This affected my time management and rhythm but managed to submit a complete answer. Mrs. Fleming's PT technique saved me from panicking because I pretty much wrote from my outline. The technical issue I experienced with the cut and paste feature became an inconvenience. I did all the outlining during my practice PT's on the authorized whiteboard so I simply defaulted to that when the cut and paste feature stopped working. FFOL helped speed up my issue spotting with high accuracy. Mr. Fleming's emphasis on outlining was so helpful in organizing the structure of the essays, which helped gather my thoughts before I even started typing. I did so many practice outlines that day 1 of the test felt like an easy study day. Day 2 was a lot more challenging because I experienced numerous computer glitches that turned out to be the fault of the software company administering the test. The test was broken down into four 50 question blocks lasting 1.5 hours each. The morning session went smoothly. I finished the first 50 questions 20 minutes early. After taking a 5 minute break I finished the next 50 questions 25 minutes early. I was able to double check all my answers, which increased my confidence for the afternoon session. After taking a 45 minute lunch break I started the 3rd block. I experienced the 1st glitch when my computer went blank at question 35 and had a bunch more the rest of the way. The clock kept running during the glitches which lasted as long as 1 minute. I ended up using all the allotted time even though my pace was finishing with plenty of time to check my answers. My patience, rhythm, concentration was definitely affected the rest of the test. The fourth block was extremely difficult to keep focused because of all the disruptions. What saved me from complete disaster were all the timed practice tests I did during the BootCamp portion of the review. I was doing 100 timed questions the old method of paper testing, either in the morning or afternoon so I was very prepared. The online remote multiple choice felt easier to read which helped my timing improve from the practice tests. The Bar moved from NCBE to Kaplan for the questions and I did not practice any questions from Kaplan but it almost did not matter because I was using all kinds of practice questions. FFOL practice tests were more than sufficient to see similar question patterns whether old or new. The Finz book they assigned, I felt was much more difficult to finish within the time limit because of the length of the fact patterns, which definitely helped my timing during the actual test since they were much shorter in comparison. I highly recommend taking FFOL Bar prep as it helped me pass this extremely hard test even with the added technical issues adding to an already stressful test. I felt so confident on both days because I felt very prepared. Thank you Prof. Fleming and team for helping me overcome a huge hurdle to be able to finally practice law in California. I will forever be grateful.

This program does not only provide black letter lar that is invaluable, but also strategy on how long to outline and how long to write each subject.

My son had a…read moregreat GPA and very good SAT score, so we thought we could do all the college applications essays himself. Well, a month before he was supposed to submit his essays he decided that he did not like what he wrote and that it wasn't representing who he was. In a panic mode we contacted Greg to help. In just a month they were able to do an incredible common app essay and over 10 supplemental essays for all the EAs my son was sending out. In short 2 months my son was able to submit around 40 supplemental essays to various top 20 Engineering schools. Greg provided an amazing structure, accountability and results. It made the process so much easier and stress free, not only for my son, but also for us, the parents. And the best part of this process is, that it gave my son a much clearer picture of who he was, what he strengths are, he was able to grasp all his accomplishments from someone that has never met him before and it's not his relative. PARENTS this is HUGE for a teenager!!! We are early in the game but so far from the 2 universities that my son applied early to, with decisions by the end of the year, he was accepted to both. We can't wait to see where he ends up going! Thanks Greg, for all your help!

We will use him for ACT prep this summer as well as math tutoring. We know this is an area of strength for Greg, as tutoring was his prior career. Greg has a great demeanor. He is very approachable and he listens attentively. Greg provides balanced, fair, and honest feedback that leaves us realistic yet hopeful about college prospects. We feel so fortunate to have found an "all in one" tutor and college counselor who will guide us through these next few years.
