I attended Kweller Prep from fourth to fifth grade, and it significantly shaped my academic life. I was accepted to HCHS after taking their Hunter Exam programs, and benefited significantly from the help I received at Kweller during that time. Now, I've come back to tutor at Kweller Prep-the families I work with, the students I teach, and the academic and personal improvement I see within each is a daily reminder of why I love the art of learning. I have Frances Kweller, Ben Davidov, and the whole team at Kweller to thank for everything.

The HS prep worked for my son. The Fall 14 week course was intense. Approximately 7 hours per week…read moreof homework plus the weekend Zoom. I would not have done as comprehensive a job had I prepared him myself. Kweller provided the structure necessary to get the work done. The weekend check-in created a the deadline. We found the nightly homework more useful than the Zoom, but that could be individual preference. The homework helped highlight what areas my son needed work on. Also, it was helpful to have him practice sitting for a long test. It's not magic. It's practice, practice, practice. Don't expect a child to manage this by themselves. There was quite a bit of parental involvement until we were accustomed to the pacing and log-in. I'm happy we chose to use Kweller and I would use them again.

My initial reaction to the testing center was pretty negative. I followed the instructions on…read moretesting policy and upon arrival found the door locked with a note stating that I would be allowed in at my start time only- no earlier. So, I stood around for almost an hour. When the door finally opened a young woman seemingly in a bad mood barked out directions and seemingly had little patience for us- the reason why she was employed. After leaving my possessions in a locker and showing that my watch was not smart- I was assigned terminal 3. There was little space behind me for people to pass but my terminal was in a better lit spot than 5 or 6. That end of the room was pretty dark. Terminal 4 had a headset- I was overjoyed at seeing a sealed one time use ear protection at my terminal. The guy next door to me oddly enough flipped over his keyboard- checking for dirt?? My keyboard and terminal was clean- as was the monitor and room. Software worked flawlessly and after a quick sign of the cross at the close of his exam my neighbor completed his exam and exited the room. I was the first to enter and the lag to exit as I stayed to review my answers. The young lady's attitude by that time had vastly improved and I felt bad for having given her such a negative review on the survey given at the conclusion of the exam. Oh well. I suppose she should have put her best foot forward. Would I go back to that testing location? Maybe. Would I have to? No.

While the staff was pleasant, the young woman at the time I came appeared overwhelmed by the number of exam takers resulting in me starting my exam late. The private room provided also served as the staff kitchen. They were unprepared and scrambled to remove their items. The site is a good location but needs to get more organized to manage the flow.

Khan's tutorial has been a must in our family. I as a…read moreparent, can nag and nag all day about studying or prepping for standardized tests, and it never works. I have found that with the support of this tutoring center, it has definitely helped motivate my children in putting in the work to succeed. Like with anything, tests are not a measure of talent or being gifted, it's about being prepared, and they definitely provide the help and support to our children to be prepared as possible for the classroom and standardized tests. They create a healthy, competitive atmosphere, to encourage our children to aim high, and give them the tools they need to achieve their goals. I have two older children who have attended Khan's. From homework help, state test prep, SHSAT prep and SAT prep. My eldest went to Bronx science and is now in St. John's in the PharmD program. My younger one is currently a junior in Stuyvesant. Khan's is definitely a major component to their academic success and I highly recommend.

This place is so awesome!!! I went here for SAT help when I was a sophomore in high school. When I…read morestarted, I was terrible and lacked motivation to improve myself and my SAT score was about an 800. I went to many other tutoring schools and also lacked the motivation to study and in other tutoring schools, teachers usually gave up on trying to help me after a while when I refuse to do anything. I thought that eventually, the teachers at PYE would do the same. However, to my surprise, they kept trying to find new ways to motivate me and get me to do my work. I was surprised that they were still concerned about my future and education after I have been refusing to do any work there. The teachers there stayed with me after school and made sure I did my work, I hated that but when I look back to that, I am very grateful for that as it helped me raise my SAT score tremendously and I learned so much. They were willing to stay after school and use their personal time to make sure I understood the things that were being taught. I'm more grateful over the fact that they never gave up on me and cared more about my future than I did. Also, all the staff there are very nice.

Talking about breaks, during the summer Bobby said we would get a 15-20 minute break and that break ended up being an hour and half. During September and October, bobby would inform parents to send their kids to his house because they might fail the shsat and what he could do is help them regain their form. I asked him if I can come to his house during the day when we have breaks from school and he always kept denying it. I would hear him talk about people that went to his house giving good scores but If I asked to come he would deny.
