We were so happy we found Carol. I interviewed another tutor for my son's Senior year prepping for…read morecollege and knew instantly within the first 5 minutes that she was the one. I had special requests since my son didn't really need help with high school classes and she was more than happy to accommodate. I asked Carol if she could help my son with improving his scores on the SAT (+200), help with writing personal statements, and help keeping him organized with deadlines for college applications. Carol did an amazing job assigning him homework and giving him direction on how to research schools, fill out applications, etc. I referred her to another kid on the soccer team that needed that extra boost. My son liked her and she was a great motivator and personable. I don't think I could have got through Senior year without her on our side- She was worth every penny and lifted the stress off my shoulders as a single mother that has never been through the college process. Thank you so much Carol! Brandon and Christine

We used Fusion Math and several different tutors to help my son conquer some algebra and geometry…read morechallenges. Every tutor was really outstanding at breaking down complex issues in a clear way and taking the emotional issues out of the equation. Even more impressive given that all our sessions were remote.

Great, caring tutors. Fantastic results!…read more My daughter ("M") loved the math tutor she had from 8th through 11th grade, but, come 12th grade, M decided to take "Honors Physics with Calculus" and "Honors Statistics" at the same time. She also wanted to bring up her math SAT score. Concerned that keeping up with M's classes would require too much work, her tutor recommended she switch to FusionMath (based here in Seattle). If you visit their website, you will see bios of all their current tutors. However, when I emailed the company to explain the situation, I said it would be great to get some recommendations from within the list. Mark Batho, the owner, emailed me back within 24 hours introducing himself and inviting me to speak on the phone, which we did shortly thereafter. He started out as a tutor himself, and it was clear from the start he was a very smart man and a highly committed educator. Although he said he had multiple tutors that could handle the job, he did recommend two, both of which were PhD candidates at UW in physics. M started with one shortly thereafter. They hit it off fabulously and M got A's in both of her honors math classes. Moreover, she raised her Math SAT score from 670 up to 730. M's tutor was personable, highly capable, and able to schedule evening and weekend hours, so M could do theatre in the afternoon after school. The owner, Mark Batho, is a delightful man and really seemed to care about how well M did. In total, I very strongly recommend FusionMath. (Fwiw, Mr. Batho also owns Uplift Writing - a writing tutoring company!)

Hi everyone, This is…read moremy first review on Yelp. I took the LSAT five years ago and didn't get the score I wanted. Instead of going to law school, I found other things to keep me busy and when my score expired this year, I decided to try and take the exam again. After looking through the different potential programs, I decided on Blueprint. I liked the web interface and their ability to track your performance on different questions seemed like a good idea. I had no idea how right I was. The course was two months and took place at the University of Washington. The class size was small enough so that the teacher, Chris, was able to get to know everyone. Both Chris and the Blueprint materials effectively taught the Blueprint method for all three sections on the LSAT. Chris was a great instructor keeping everything relaxed and relevant (by using comic real world examples) but also structured and moving forward at a brisk pace. We took six practice exams, but the course also offered an extra 11 exams that could be taken on your own. If that wasn't enough, one of the real benefits of the Blueprint method was the website and the data analytics. The instructors have created a database of questions and classified them based on a type and how difficult they are. That way when you get something wrong, you can figure out if you're getting the same type of question wrong and then drill to get it right. I found it very useful in targeting which type of logical reasoning questions I was weak on and which games I was having trouble on. All in all, I was very satisfied with my experience at Blueprint.

If you are reading LSAT prep class reviews on YELP than you have some concerns about whether it is…read morethe right one for you, and if the price is right. It is right on both counts. This curriculum is cutting edge, cost effective, and it puts points on the board. Plus, it helps you to figure out your own learning issues. If you have the desire to go to law school, you need Blueprint. It's not a guarantee of success but it will explain the process way better than you can imagine. Our instructor, Wiley, was the best!

With just 1 week left before my round 1 deadline, I wasn't sure if I could get the feedback in time…read moresince the website says it takes 72 hours to receive the feedback. However, Veritas was extremely flexible and asked the reviewer if he could move his schedule around to accommodate my rather short deadline. I was able to receive feedback within 24 hours! The feedback was also very useful. Not only did Veritas provide feedback about the overall approach I took for my essay and cover letter but they also provided detailed feedback on each paragraph. What truly impressed me was that the feedback was not some general feedback but specific feedback that I was able to act on and fix my mistakes. For anyone who is planning to apply to grad school, I highly recommend Veritas. Trust me, it will be money well spent considering how important grad school will be for you.

I initially started studying on my own using another online GMAT prep resource and later on…read moreswitched to Veritas Prep, which was the best decision I could have made. Their online resources, books, classes, and tutors were all extremely helpful. In addition to the in-person lessons they offered, they also gave me access to a good amount of homework problems, skill builders and practice tests to continue practicing what I had learned. Jackson was my instructor and he did a great job. He made sure everyone understood all the topics we covered and always gave detailed explanations. I went into the classes dreading some topics, but Jackson made me understand them and even learn to like them. I highly recommend Veritas Prep and Jackson!

Their track record speaks for itself and makes them the best in the business. My personal experience was very positive; after 3 months of classes and 1 month of self-studying, my score went up 80 points and I got my target score. My instructor Jayson Beatty was fantastic, I looked forward to class every week. He made GMAT learning fun and entertaining, partially because he's just a funny guy. We met once a week for class, which made email communication very important. Jayson is very responsive to emails, always replying within hours. Lectures were systematic, first we learned the concept, then we went applied our learning through a series of examples. I registered for an in-person class with 6 students, which allowed us to take turns answer questions on the board. Highly recommend both Manhattan GMAT and Jayson Beatty!
