Math was never my best subject. I contacted Tim Jantzi. He tutored me in the areas where my skills were weak, and I was able to easily pass the test.

Took the LSAT PowerScore prep course, and I couldn't be more displeased. My class was with Jon…read moreDenning (PowerScore's Vice President) and despite my attempts to meet with Jon, he proved to be too busy to care about his students. I told him I was struggling and asked if he thought I should get an actual tutor through PowerScore, he insisted that I probably didn't need one and he offered to tutor me. Too bad he never showed up to show up for any of the times we scheduled. Before I knew it, it was time to take the LSAT. Jon urged us all to contact him AFTER we took the LSAT, which I did. He said he would try and go over the test materials with me, and 3 emails asking for help later, he never did. I could have used the $1400 for my class to get a real tutor, not have my time wasted as I was seeking help and wasn't given any. I'm so incredibly disappointed.

Powerscore is extremely unreliable…read more I enrolled in a full-length in person LSAT course last year and planned my entire Fall semester college schedule so I could take it. Powerscore then called to inform me four days before the start of the class that it was cancelled. They withheld my refund until I shipped back their course materials, and offered no discount or voucher for my inconvenience. I was left with a less-than-ideal college schedule and couldn't take certain classes I would've taken otherwise, as I wasn't given adequate notice of the Powerscore class cancellation. I thought this may be a one-time mistake and gave Powerscore another chance (big mistake). I enrolled in one of their weekend-long accelerated courses and was just informed that it was cancelled again, five days before the class was due to start. Luckily I hadn't made such a big commitment as I had prior, and I am lucky I didn't plan my entire semester around a full-length course that would likely be cancelled again. It's very disappointing, as I have heard great things about their LSAT books. I wanted to learn the techniques in a classroom setting, but it seems that the company is not competent or organized enough to offer anything that they promise.

This location is so difficult to find that I had to use 2 GPSs. It's tucked away in an little…read moreoffice complex behind a shopping center in West Ashley; not visible from the road. Prometric is a testing facility that quite a few companies contract out to proctor their exams. While the location was hard to find the facility itself isn't that much nicer. It's a small little office space that when you walk in are 2 desks where the workers sit and a room full of small partial cubicles for the test takers. While the 2 guys working here seem friendly enough, it is a little intimidating taking a test here. First you enter and sign in, give the guys 2 forms of IDs, then put everything you have on you in a locker. But the kicker is how they search you and wand you down to make sure you aren't sneaking anything into the test with you; even though they have cameras pointed on each little cube in the testing room. All this security precautions just seem to be unnecessary; as most test taker here are adults taking an exam for their employer. I have less issue going through TSA at an airport.

Get ready for constant video and audio surveillance…read more.. At Prometric, you are forced to endure the most stressful future-deciding exams without even a sentimental token of your real life. No, you may not bring your bag, your water bottle, your pens... You will enter the lab with only regulation conforming, newly issued pencils, and your government ID. Should you get warm, and take off your jacket, it will promptly be removed from the room. Bathroom breaks are noted, requiring signatures and ID upon re-entry. To any university admissions counselors reading: Rest assured, you can take any Charleston area scores at face value. The Prometric crew is nothing if not professional. To their credit, they did provide secure lockers, water, coffee, miniature cupcakes, kleenex, etc. outside the lab door. OK, the cupcakes barely looked edible, but they were a nice gesture. And, contrary to my SAT testing experiences (on paper!), you are issued your exam on your own computer, and begin when processed. An early arrival might earn you an early start, instead of more time in a room of nervous test takers, waiting for the mandatory monologues about the nature of the exam.

This place is AMAZING! The teachers are wonderful! And the director- Trisha, is there to help you…read moreevery step of the way! They are very willing to offer certain payment plans depending on your income- and are VERY attentive to your child's specific needs and learning tactics. Both of the "Cindy's" (Irmo and Chapin) are wonderful. They even bring in different teachers to teach different subjects to keep the strengths of your child in mind! It's expensive! But our 13 year old has gone from a D & F student to an A & B in 4 months!!! And she has self confidence she never had before!

I Tutored for Ms. Canty off and on, and each time I worked for her she paid me my "due money"…read morewhenever she felt like it. And my last encounter with her, she ends up owing me 140$, and to this, which is 3 months later, she hasn't attempted to pay me my money. I was going to take her to small claims court but decided letting her clients/future clients, or anyone that renders her service and/or work with her know that she treats some employees like there below her and she cares nothing about you nor your money or time invested in doing work for her which shows poor leadership and definitely bad business..

Until I worked with Kimberly I had been using self-study prep services for a year and I had taken the GRE once, receiving a dismal quantitative score of 155. After working with Kimberly I received a quant score of 163. I am giving Kimberly five stars for the following reasons: - extremely reasonable rates ($40 per hour for GRE Math prep), plus she was able to provide me a new copy of the Official Guide to the Revised GRE free of charge - Sessions are held via Skype, which worked perfectly with my schedule, plus the sessions did not lose anything qualitatively; I was able to view her blackboard via the camera, plus we used online practice tests to run through timed drills together - Kimberly not only provides a foundation in the basics, but also reveals the subtle tricks and tips that help you identify and solve the more advanced problems more efficiently - She identifies your weak points and targets them during sessions and through homework assignments - She is incredibly encouraging and instills the confidence you need on test day (a critical point as my low confidence was definitely affecting my performance) Again, highly recommend her services!
