Freudigman and Billings (F&B) is a welcome antidote to the nightmare of today's college application…read moreprocess. In a system that reduces applicants to data points supporting an institution's aggregate yield rates and admissions profiles, F&B insists that the individuality of its students be seen and heard. It helps families discern the best fit between the hopes and dreams of their beloved daughter or son and the programs that each institution of higher learning actually offers. F&B delivers bespoke solutions that successfully navigate the unpredictable and unforgiving waters of today's college admissions process. Their work is worth every cent of investment that a family makes in their young adult's future. We could not recommend them more highly.

I signed up for the college counseling package, and the experience was awful. The essay tutors were…read moreverbally abusive and provided little to no productive feedback, the counselors pressure you into specific schools and majors without giving you any real advice to help you figure out where you want to go, they force you to cram several essays for schools into days, resulting in terrible quality, and they provide little to no insight as to how to actually determine what you want out of college. All they care about is getting their money and getting you into college somewhere, regardless of where it is.

We have been sending our daughter to premier aptitude for the last 3 years. This was based on the…read morerecommendation of our neighborhood, whose daughter had been attending the math tutoring for the last 4 years. Our daughter started about a little over 2 1/2 yrs ago, clearly she has been able to exceed the expectations of the program. The tutors kelvin and Eric have really design and evolved the math and science program so as to have students become inquisitive and much more interested in Mathematics without being afraid to ask questions. My daughter, Alexis has been able to solve challenging problems in advance placement math for H.S. We couldn't be happier with the results our daughter has archive thus far. Thank you Calvin and thank you Eric for your drive, passion and determination to make children succeed and excel. I would highly recommend any parent to send their kids to their after school program.

The teaching is very individualized and Calvin makes sure every student understands the concepts they are struggling with before he moves on. Thanks to Calvin my understanding of advanced physics and math concepts became very clear because he helped me master the basics of the subject first. What stood out was Lamont's writing and essay help. He guided me throughout college applications and applying to programs in college. Due to his assistance, my writing and speaking skills have improved greatly. I got into a top 15 college and landed prestigious summer research internships thanks to Lamont. Lamont helped me with expressing my personal goals in a clear manner, and especially focused on polishing my ideas into a personal statement that really showed who I was outside of my application. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for both writing development and development as a person outside of college applications to work with Lamont, because his ability to help a student self-develop is incredible. 10/10 Definitely go to Lamont and Premier Academy for essay help, you won't regret it!

Many of our emails went unanswered, and when a personal issue came up for our advisor, instead of offering support or finding someone else to step in, our advisor abandoned us. This lack of communication and accountability caused my son to lose trust in the process during such a critical time. We had no choice but to change providers. There was absolutely zero understanding by ConnectPrep of the impact on us not to mention time and money lost.

Where do I even begin???…read more My son needed to qualify to take the Hunter test and I was looking for approved testing locations when I landed at this magical test taking center! The owner could not have been more supportive, brilliant and knowledgeable about the entire process. I was delighted to visit on testing day to see a bright and warm school environment that was carefully prepared and planned to help every single student succeed. I am so inspired by this place that encourages students to work hard and reach for their dreams! Sky's the limit! Everyone there is so kind and so helpful. They're just happy to be there. I met many former graduates and enjoyed learning about this exceptional place of learning. The care and attention to every detail in this school is phenomenal and I would trust Frances with anything. She is a brilliant woman who is kind and caring beyond what I ever imagined possible. Thank you so much! We came just to take a test but left inspired. Look at these healthy snacks they give their students to recharge! I'm telling you, this is a place that has been engineered to the highest level of success in all the right ways, with the best of intentions. They've also given back to their community in so many ways, helping so many young people to achieve their dreams. Kudos to this place!

We are Back at @kwellerprep!…read more My son had a great experience preparing for various exams at @kwellerprep Kweller, and here we are again, in the 7th grade, choosing Kweller to prepare my child for the SHSAT. Choosing test prep at Kweller has been one of the best decisions we made along his academic journey. Thanks to @kwellerprep, my son's essay writing, reading comprehension, math and vocabulary knowledge have improved measurably. Before Kweller, my son would use basic vocabulary to convey his thoughts, often in run-on sentences. Now, he can compose a compelling coherent essay with an interesting introductory "hook" incorporating the rich set of advanced vocabulary he picked up through Kweller courses. This transformation has clearly shown in his ELA and math grades this year! Covid took many things away from us, not the least of which is a valuable in-person learning experience in the classroom. We could make up for lost time with enrichment classes at Kweller. I'm happy to recommend this excellent, rigorous academic program. $100 Discount code: Tristate100
