    First and foremost, Learn iT! is located in a convenient part of the city (33 New Montgomery…read moreStreet) and has a great view out of many of the classroom windows. Their team is very helpful and I find my training experiences well organized with great content. They also offer WiFi, which is nice. I really enjoy going to training here. The first training I took at Learn iT! was Critical Thinking with Sheila. She was animated and kept my attention throughout the day, which can be hard to do! I appreciated the application/activities during the training, along with getting to know some of the other students attending (this was a public course). I'm happy they provide a workbook for each of the Professional Development classes, as I use them for taking notes and reference them often after the trainings. I take time to process information, so this is a great takeaway for me. Tip: they serve warm cookies at 2 PM each day and offer complimentary coffee and tea (this is available throughout the day). The cookies smell amazing in and it is a nice treat.

    For some reason my company really likes to hire Learn It to teach us PC basics (Acrobat, MS Office…read moreSuite etc.). Yeah, they're pretty cheap compared to Academy X & Roundpeg but cheap doesn't equal good. I've taken their Acrobat, Excel and Word classes (I do work for a living but I like to take a couple of days out to veg out in front of a PC!). I've also attended an HTML (that was a joke) class. All Learn It classes feel like they are dumbed down, water downed versions of a dummies book. You get a paltry 2 page document as your training materials. I'm not the smartest PC applications person but I do like to learn more than remedial Word/Excel yada yada. I actually fell asleep against my monitor in the recent Word class! Very uninspiring classes. You get more bang for your buck by buying and reading a dummies book or one of those "software bible" books.

    Message me for a discount code! TestMasters was a great experience! My teacher, Dorothy, was very…read morecaring and really made sure that people in the class were truly understanding the material. I increased my score 17 points, so that says something about their methodology. They really breakdown the LSAT so you understand the basics and what to expect on the actual test. By the time you are taking the LSAT, there are no surprises and it feels like just another practice test. I would recommend TestMasters to anyone wanting to take the LSAT. TestMasters helped me be able to go to a great law school and hopefully have a great career in law. Thank you so much to Dorothy and the creator, Robin.

    I'm really torn between giving TestMasters a 2 star versus 3 star rating…read more My experience with the preparatory class was OK, at best. I believe the course requires an above average understanding of the material PRIOR to the students even walking into the class, and in my opinion, that does not help students understand the foundational concepts and structure of each question type. Hearing Type 1 or Type 10 question in class at a very early point in the class only added unnecessary stress/pressure as I had to go through my notes to try to figure out the question types. Additionally, my instructor was OK. I will say that she had a great understanding of the material but helping the class understand it, from THEIR perspective, was not her strong suit. Moreover, there were at least 2 occasions which she promised to call me to discuss some concerns I had and never did. For the hefty price I paid for the class, I did not feel that it helped my score. Contrary to my experience with TestMasters, I would recommend to others to first try the PowerScore Bibles (Logical Reasoning, Logic Game and Reading Comp). These have been my savior. I have been going through them post-TestMasters and many of the concepts now click!

    We had terrible experience with Crimson. I was with them for 4 years unfortunately. I was expecting…read morethem to help build profile so that college admissions can get smoother. I just realized that they were upselling some of their products which resulted in no real outcome. No clear advice was given to pick right universities or majors in last year which ended up with large rejections. Also, everything was pushed to last minute and decisions were made in hurry. I guess the strategist are too busy with too many students.

    My personal experience with this business as a potential client was the worst I ever had. This…read morecompany acted in bad faith towards me, ethnically profiled me, was unable to handle the simplest things, and did nothing to fix their bias and obvious mishandling of the situation. A few months ago, we started looking at the market of education consultant businesses to find someone who could help us, a fresh immigrant family with teens, navigate the complex world of American higher education. After several Crimson webinars, I decided to join their Facebook group, which they solicit at every webinar. Not a big deal, right? Just answer a few simple questions, including an odd one about where you live, and you're in. Not so fast. Long story short, I was declined several times (I kept applying because I could never imagine they were rejecting me repeatedly). The reason they finally condescended to provide was that they checked my Facebook profile to verify my location and found that I "live in RUSSIA!" Can you imagine anything more daunting or criminal than having that on your Facebook profile? So, once again: a business solicits you to join its group, and when you do, indicating several times that you live in the US (a requirement for acceptance), its representatives rush to your Facebook profile to double-check if you're telling the truth. Can you imagine making decisions based on Facebook profile info? Your nanny, Crimson Education, requires you to keep your Facebook profile updated, peasant! The irony? Four out of six moderators don't have any location information on their profiles. I bet many of the 4,000 group members either have incorrect locations, locked profiles, or no location at all. It's 2024, after all. I believe the only reason to decline me was that I'm from Russia. 'Russian bots' moral panic, or something similar. They applied their made-up rule to me personally because I'm Russian. They didn't reach out to clarify. They didn't provide a reason for declining until I started questioning them directly in the Facebook form, which isn't a convenient way to converse. And they not only declined my applications, filled out in good faith with correct information - they banned me after I started questioning their mishandling of the situation. No business has ever handled me with such outrageous disrespect and humiliation. I even sent a message to the company's main email asking for help. Guess what? I never received a response or support. They can't handle simple, everyday situations. They make up artificial rules, don't follow them, treat you with disrespect, and never admit their mistakes. They don't change their outrageous behavior or correct it, let alone apologize to you. Now, tell me, how can these people help kids get into the Ivies if they're unable to get parents into their own Facebook group?

    I took the June-July LSAT class with a fee waiver and had Austen Yueh as my instructor. This review…read more(and the five stars) is primarily for Austen's teaching. Austen is a phenomenally bright instructor who exudes warmth and a genuine desire for her students to succeed. She is methodical and highly skilled at explaining complex inferences, which was incredibly helpful for mastering logic games. Austen often went above-and-beyond to help ensure that her students could succeed. She made herself available to her students before and after class via email, and often stayed for well past-hours after each class to field any additional questions her students had. Despite the fact that nearly every student was taking this class after a full work day, Austen did a tremendous job keeping the class thoroughly engaged and entertained (with pizza and ice cream to boot!). Having primarily self-studied for my first attempt at the LSAT (using 7sage, Powerscore, the LSAT Instructor, etc.), I was initially wary of taking a course for my second attempt. Having received my results last week, though, I can definitively say that taking Austen's class affirmed my choice and will (fingers crossed!) be what makes the difference in getting accepted into my dream law school. If you're looking for an LSAT prep course, I would highly recommend taking Austen's class at Blueprint!

    Aaron is literally the best. There are so many LSAT courses so I know it can feel overwhelming…read more After doing research for two months Blueprint stood out as the best course. I took the Spring San Francisco course with Aaron who was an awesome instructor. Every day of class I would come to class excited to learn and hear his lame jokes. Not only did the jokes help me stay up since the class is from 6 pm - 10 pm it also allowed to remember complex concepts in a fun way. I felt throughout the course I was overly supported. My instructor was available to offer advice, study tips and homework review before and after class. After each exam (especially when I hit a wall with my score) Aaron helped me switch up my testing strategies to find something that worked for me so my score would continue to increase! I also enjoyed the class overall because everyone there was very friendly, and it was a lighthearted environment where no question was viewed as stupid or obvious. The online component was also super helpful, one day I was too sick to go to class so I had to watch the lesson online which allowed me to keep up with the class. I love the Chain of Being because it feels like studying for the LSAT is a video game which brings me back to my PS2 days. Overall, great course for anyone who really wants to perform above and beyond on the LSAT! Also, my score has increased drasitcially!

    TestCrackers completely changed my GRE experience, especially thanks to Yuri (Quant) and Seth…read more(Verbal). I worked with TestCrackers for over a year, primarily through small-group tutoring, and I cannot recommend the program highly enough. I came into GRE prep from a humanities background and had historically struggled with quant. Math had never felt intuitive or comfortable for me, and I truly never imagined I could perform well on the Quant section of the GRE. Yuri, who taught Quant, is hands down the best tutor, and honestly the best math teacher, I've ever had. He completely transformed how I approach math. From day one, he created a learning environment that was supportive, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable. His lighthearted teaching style, dad jokes, and famously theatrical reactions to common mistakes made concepts stick in a way I had never experienced before. To this day, I still hear his voice in my head catching me before I repeat errors, and it works. Beyond his teaching style, what makes Yuri exceptional is how genuinely invested he is in his students. He took the time to get to know me, truly believed in me, and pushed me to do better in a way that made me feel capable rather than intimidated. He often went over time, not because he had to, but because he wanted to help more. It was clear his motivation came from a place of real care and generosity. To put my progress in context: my first Manhattan diagnostic was a 151 in Quant, and my first official PowerPrep test was a 144. I ultimately ended with a 163 in Quant on my exam. At the time, I didn't even know if meaningful improvement was possible for me. With Yuri's guidance, I not only improved significantly, but gained the confidence to apply to MBA programs that once felt completely out of reach. Seth was equally impactful on the Verbal side. His guidance completely changed how I approached the section strategically. I still hear him asking, "Is this 100% provable?" in my head during verbal questions, which helped me stay disciplined and precise on test day. One of the biggest breakthroughs from Seth's teaching was learning to let go of certain science passages and instead focus my time and energy on passages I knew I could get right, a strategy that made a huge difference. I started with a 153 in Verbal and finished with a 161. Thanks to Seth's emphasis on error logs, thoughtful review, and strategic prioritization, my Verbal score improved dramatically. I consistently reviewed session notes, maintained a detailed error log, and applied his frameworks throughout the exam. Thanks to TestCrackers, and especially Yuri and Seth, I finished my GRE journey with results I genuinely never thought were possible. More importantly, they helped me see what I was capable of before I believed it myself. If you're serious about improving your GRE scores and want instructors who are deeply knowledgeable, incredibly effective, and truly invested in your success, I cannot recommend TestCrackers enough.

    Thank you Testcrackers!!!! So grateful for the Testcrackers Team, Yuri, Andrew and Sarah!!! I spent…read moreover a year studying on my own with Gregmat, Magoosh, Kaplan and ETS PowerPrep and I just wasn't getting anywhere as far as progress goes. It felt like there were too many videos to watch, too many areas to study and I felt overwhelmed and unmotivated. At 38 years old, the last math class I had taken was over 15 years ago, so it was a pain relearning all the math they test on Quant. Andrew broke down which areas were not tested as often and let the class know which topics to study on their own (due to class time restraints) if they were trying to score 320 and higher, which I very much appreciated. I only need a 290 for a program that requires that for admissions. The first GRE I took in August, 2025 was 279 (141V, 138Q) with practice tests ranging in the 270-280's. Today, I scored 294 (147V, 147Q), with practice tests ranging from 289-302. I studied 3-6 hours a day, 4-6 times a week (homework included) for two months to obtain this score, which I am very happy with. I'm sure I could have scored higher if I studied a bit more and did more homework. If you are thinking about taking their prep course, take the next step and make that investment because it is totally worth it!!!!!
