I remember struggling through ACT and SAT practice tests, trying to decide which one to take, sitting through essay and summer workshops, and talking about my future plans with my counselor once a month.

HS2 and their counselors ease this worry by advising from the early starting point of how to pursue your high school career. Without my counselor, I would have not been able to attend as many internships, clubs, and summer programs as I did to build up my experience. In addition to counseling, there are numerous classes and resources offered to help with AP, SAT, and ACT testing, and classes in general. And most of all, HS2 has been a great help during App Season. My counselor not only provided expert revisions, but because I've had her for all 4 years, she knew about my experiences and spent time to make sure everything I've accomplished was properly concisely convened to admission officers. HS2 has been a great factor in my excellent college admissions.

Mavin was recommended to my younger brother for his college applications. I had my skepticism…read moreinitially because I've come across many tutoring, private and institutions, that made me feel like their main goal was to make money with little emphasis on the personal success of their students. However, the price Mavin offered to help my brother with his applications and his personal statements were definitely a draw-in, so I thought, why not? The boss and staff at Mavin definitely prioritize their students' success over all else; the moment my brother was signed up, they took note of how time sensitive his applications were and worked with him to rewrite and edit his statements countless number of times (meeting in person 1-on-1 and working on it together over the web / phone) within only a couple weeks. The end result? My brother only applied to UC schools and got into every single one of them - and no, his SAT scores weren't perfect. Although my brother was only there for college applications, I can also vouch for the effectiveness of the tutors at Mavin as well. The several times I've visited the institution to drop off / pick up my brother, many times I would overhear the other ecstatic parents revving about the improvements of their kid(s), especially for SATs. Mavin is a great institution where the staff and tutors all invest a lot of time and effort into their students, individually. My impression of them is extremely top-notch because their tutors and staff do not use the same teaching style each time - they tweak their methods / styles to maximize the full learning potential of each student - that is what I believe differentiates great tutors from mediocre tutors. I definitely recommend Mavin to anyone and everyone, including to those whom English is not their first language - they can make it work out.

Once my son decided what he really wanted to pursue, she helped him back into choosing the best colleges within various universities, keeping location, size, campus vibe, cost and other variables in mind. As parents, it was wonderful to have a positive and knowledgable outside influence take the reins in aspects of the process that we didn't know much about. She kept him accountable and on track, while always being upbeat and a pleasure to work with. He submitted all his applications early and was confident that he'd done his best work. I highly recommend Patti to anyone looking for guidance at any point of the admissions process.
