I brought my son to c2 when he was a junior at Crescenta Valley High School. He needed some…read moretutoring in AP physics to help him understand a few concepts before the AP Exam. We purchased a package of hours, figuring we could use them for other subjects and SAT prep as well. What I didn't expect was how comprehensively C2 would help my son. We didn't know about the SAT subject tests, but Maggie recommended that my son take them. It was a godsend, because when my son was applying to schools- his top pick required three subject tests. He had already taken two the spring before thanks to c2's suggestion. Over the summer, my son did review with C2 for his SAT test. They helped him raise his scores tremendously. They also gave him counseling on college applications- providing worksheets for him to help identify some of the schools that might be a good fit for him. After he took the SAT, they helped him with brainstorming and editing a few sample essays for his college applications. Many of you reading this are results oriented like I am, so I'll tell you that my son got into his first choice for college and raised his SAT from a 1370 to a 1520. He managed to score a perfect 800 on math. Yes, he is bright and motivated and hard working. But he couldn't have done it without Maggie and her amazing tutors at c2.

I do not recommend sending your kids here. A lot of immigrant parents who don't know better send…read moretheir kids here through connections. There are two tutors here: Jenny and James. Both were terrible. They spent so much time expecting you to do the problems or write essays while they sat there on their phones for like 60 minutes. The last 15 minutes were spent reviewing and giving me advice. Jenny spent more time being my therapist than teaching me the material and made me watch YouTube videos instead of just drawing it out and explaining it to me. She should've assigned that as homework and then gone over it afterward. I know more about her entire life story moving from a different country and dropping pre-med than I do about AP Biology. I also later found out that the head director there, Jane, scammed my parents for more money. Right before I submitted my college essays, she asked my parents for hundreds of dollars to help pay the tutors since they supposedly weren't doing well economically. My parents couldn't say no because my college essays were on the line. What disgusting behavior to put parents through, especially when they were already paying thousands for tutoring sessions. I'm livid because I only found out two years later. As for James, he probably spent 90% of the time on his phone and 10% helping me write my college essays. I have evidence as well. He was so unwelcoming and would get annoyed with me if I didn't understand the advice he gave me. I would dread going to his sessions and feel extremely uncomfortable the entire time because he would just sit in front of me behind a glass frame, glancing up from his phone from time to time while I typed away on my laptop. I would never be able to ask follow-up questions because I would be met with so much attitude.

She genuinely cares about the kids, takes the time to get to know them, and goes above and beyond to make sure they are learning, growing, and feeling confident. You can tell that this is much more than just a tutoring center--it's a place where the kids are truly cared for. Ani has also built an incredible team of tutors. Every tutor we have had the pleasure of working with has been patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and wonderful with our kids. It's clear that Ani takes great care in choosing people who genuinely care about the students and their success. Over the years, we have seen such a positive difference in our kids' confidence and academics, and I'm so grateful to have found a place we can trust. If you're looking for a tutoring center where your children will receive individualized attention, encouragement, and genuine support, I highly recommend this place. Ani and her team are truly the best!

If your kids attend the La Crescenta school they pick your kids up from school and bring them back to one of there locations depending on what grade your child is now. Wish i knew of this place when my daughter was in K, she could have gotten a jump start like my son did before he attended K. They employ young tutors that have just finished high school so whatever is being thought in text books if fresh for the tutors to remember how to do the work and teach your child. La Crescenta schools are very tough, all the kids are attending some kind of after school program to meet and exceed expectations of the teachers. If you were like myself and works all day and then has to come home and go over home work with your kids then i would suggest you go with Yail. They help in group and one on one environments to make sure your child knows the work and gets their homework done without ever getting frustrated like i would get trying to help my child understand.

Walking into Albert & Bryan's office was one of the best decisions I made in my college application…read moreprocess. Starting with outcomes: I got into all of my reach schools & my cousin (applying this year) is knocking out target/reach schools by the day. Of course, results never paint the entire picture, so I'd like to highlight a few behind-the-scenes aspects of their approach that I believe are quite conducive to great application delivery. 1. Crafting an authentic application. Every word on my application contributed to an accurate picture of who I am. Not once did I get the impression that Albert & Bryan were trying to fit me into a "template" of the perfect candidate (as a significant number of college applications guides tend to do). Their primary role was extracting notable points about my experiences and helping me with synthesizing/packaging them into compelling and genuine stories. Authenticity is one of the key characteristics of engaging college essay writing, yet it is often one of the most overlooked. Albert & Bryan know this, a fact that is reflected in their guiding principle: "If we anonymously drop your essays in the middle of the street and your best friends pick it up, they will immediately think of you. If strangers pick it up, they will feel as if they have already met you." I certainly believe that we accomplished this by the conclusion of the process. 2. Storytelling expertise. To put plainly, they are great storytellers. Albert & Bryan teach storytelling techniques that I haven't encountered anywhere else. Short, choppy phrases to convey excitement and thrill; sentence cadence to amplify any message you are trying to get across; sustaining a metaphor to create cohesiveness and make the essay a better read- a few of many techniques that I employ to this day. Telling a good story is a fundamental skill of any capable writer, one that is especially critical when trying to encompass your entire character in a few pages of paper. 3. Commitment to their students' success. Albert & Bryan had many other clients while I was there, yet they somehow made it feel as though I was their only student. They reviewed each completed application with the utmost care. I got emails from them at all hours of the day/night, pointing out the slightest of details (deviation in format, potential ambiguity, minor discordance in information) that I somehow overlooked. Every time I needed their help, they found a way to clear up a time slot. I've heard of instances where they devoted their entire night *after closing hours* to work on a mentee's last-minute submission. It goes to show how much they are willing to do to ensure that their students are supported. 4. Staying well-informed. They go to conferences every few months to keep up to date, not just with what application reviewers want to know from their applicants, but also general trends in what types of individuals thrive at which places. This- along with the personal network & bank of experiences that they built over years of being in the industry- means that they had well-informed and nuanced responses to any inquiry I had about the application process or the universities themselves. It's difficult to find guidance of this quality, especially for a process as convoluted as applying for college. Albert & Bryan's service is a gem in the space. I'd recommend them to anyone applying.

I worked with Brian and I think his background as an Ivy League student from a family that was not well-off allowed me to connect very easily with him.

My family has never been through the American college application process and I would highly recommend Royal Education to anyone who would like clear and concise advice and guidance.
