    I dislike giving negative reviews to locally owned businesses so I'm sorry to say this place is not…read morevery professional and their ACT tutoring is definitely lacking. First I called to get info and the receptionist couldn't answer my question "What sets you apart from other tutoring places?" She referred me to the owner with whom I played phone tag with over a couple of weeks. When we finally connected she said she's really busy with her kids. (I get it - I'm a mom too BUT you own a business). Since the prices are fair, I went in to book and pay for a try-out session. The man behind the desk said he would set us up with an at-home tutor and if no one was available he could tutor my son at the office. He went on to say he teaches the ACT classes but has not graduated from college himself. Hmmm. The day before the tutor was suppose to come to my house I realized I had not had any confirmation. I called the business to find out what time the tutor was coming and, more importantly, who it was. They had NO record of me booking a session! We would have been waiting around for nonexistent tutor to come. They said they had no one available to come to the house but my son could come the next day to the office for the tutoring. At this point I'm very skeptical but since it was paid for, my son went to the business and was tutored by the young man who said he hasn't graduated from college yet. However, my son said he was helpful so I booked another session. My son came home and said that the session was only OK and he was not given a study plan, homework to do, or anything like that. He begged me to find him a different tutoring company. And so I have. Sorry Achieve. You can do better.

    My daughter has been attending tutoring at Leading Edge Learning Center since the 2nd grade. She…read morehas been tutored in multiple subjects, but definitely math has been her biggest challenge. She lacks confidence to conquer her everyday classwork and homework assignments. Every time she begins to struggle we take her back and it's only a matter of time before her confidence is through the roof. She even received a math award out of her whole 6th grade glass. This program has very reasonable pricing compared to others that I looked into. Each tutor she has worked with has been professional, punctual, and able to locate her weaknesses in each subject. They not only get her back on track but help her excel beyond her basic requirements. This program has been a lifesaver and I highly recommend it to others who also have children who struggle. Definitely worth the money and homework time has been 100% better in my home.

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.

Vince tutored me via Zoom. His remote setup enabled us to have productive exchanges as he was equipped with technology that facilitated easy learning. I'm including this in my review because my previous tutor did not possess the necessary technology to properly conduct remote learning. More importantly, Vince worked with me to apply focus to my GRE study, directing me to the right materials--I had previously only studied 3rd party material. He also helped me to stay on track with weekly study plans that matched my time commitment. In our 90 minute tutoring sessions, we spent our time mostly discussing verbal topics. Most valuable was that verbal discussions with Vince built the necessary experience that enabled me to understand how ETS presents the logic in the TC/SE questions types and what ETS is looking for when presenting their RC question types. As a native English speaker, I had to re-engineer how I read the passages and questions presented in the GRE. My tutoring sessions with Vince helped me acquire the test taking "finesse" in the verbal section that I needed to go from scoring in the 70th percentile (May 2021 test) to scoring in the 96th percentile (July 2021 test). If you have the resources, I strongly recommend connecting with Vince or at least consider taking his online Verbal GRE prep course. Finally, some general test-taking advice re: the GRE. The GRE is a game and you're there to play its 80 little puzzles. One of the best pieces of advice I got from Vince himself: "Be patient, build experience, and take your time with the test." This advice really resonated with me and I took it to heart, eventually attaining the score I wanted. So, to my fellow test taker: "Be patient, build experience, and take your time with the test."

In order to pay more - you have to pay SOMETHING to begin with. Which he did not). Our daughter wanted help with applying to colleges and I paid for their service to help us understand how to navigate the complicated process. He did not offer to help offset the cost of me hiring them. Our daughter applied to EVERY college SHE wanted to. It was always up to her. She was accepted to MANY colleges, other than one that was on her wish-list, and that happens. It has nothing to do with this company. They are excellent and went above and beyond. She's now enrolled in a college she is very happy with and the service we received from Advanced College Solutions was wonderful. He is putting words in our daughter's mouth she never said. They EVENTUALLY ignored him after he repeatedly called and emailed them, making things difficult for everyone. This service has nothing to do with custody. Alana Rosario is wonderful, as is each person we've worked with there. It is a service to help with a very complicated process and they are amazing. I highly, highly recommend them. I've never met a kinder, more understanding and helpful group of people who dedicate their life and time to helping kids make a stressful process less daunting.
