DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON TRAINING FROM THIS COMPANY! I purchased the pre-licensing…read morecourse, and the quality was a grave disappointment. Throughout the video lessons, Mr. Royse takes great care to talk bout himself but shares little of value in regard to real estate. For chapters 1-7, which cover general real estate practice, it was relatively easy to utilize Real Estate Prep Agent on YouTube and cross reference topics until I had a thorough understanding of the subjects covered. However, chapter 8 is the only chapter on Alaska Real Estate Law. The law represents a separate exam that only includes only 40 questions, thereby making a thorough understanding of the concepts therein paramount. After watching Mr. Royse's 20 hour and 40 hour class lectures over chapter 8, I learned little more than he likes to conduct training in Hawaii so that he can write off his trips while drinking. That's all fun and games, but it doesn't provide much in the way of understanding the Alaska Real Estate Commission's statutes and regulations. Since I had no way to cross reference the law covered in chapter 8 as I had with the previous chapter's contents, I relied heavily on the six practice tests provided in the curriculum to help me interpret and apply the law. After continuously feeling very confused and then failing my first law exam ($100 down the drain), I spent an entire eight hour Sunday trying to compare the chapter 8 tests to nail down my confusion. Well... I found NINE questions with incorrect and conflicting answers on the answer keys... and these are only the ones I found with my novice knowledge. It is no wonder I was so confused trying to first interpret the law one way and then shortly thereafter reteaching myself the same concept again with another "correct" but incorrect answer. When I brought this issue to Royse and Associates, they were extremely dismissive and acted like the defect was my issue and that I was the only person who has ever had a problem with their reputable company. Well, when I finally got them to go through the test questions I had identified, they verified that they were indeed INCORRECT... in fact, one of the questions didn't even have the correct answer listed on the printable test I was using to study. What a crock! That meant I was studying nine concepts that I now knew of with conflicting application. In a chapter that doesn't cover much, that is a big deal. Royse and Associates dismissed that though. Royse himself wrote a snooty response about how there are literally 2,400 questions that could have been on the law portion of that exam, and that nine typos in his practice tests are not a big deal. I disagree. Nine incorrect questions (again... that I know of) over one, small chapter represent nine concepts misapplied. He also didn't seem concerned about combing back through his material in its entirety to identify other incorrectly provided test answers. As a result, I trashed all of his material as none of it could be trusted as accurate, and I went online to read the law (the version he included in his manual was not even the most recent version) and study it alone. Surprisingly, I passed my exam the very first time utilizing this approach. So... not only was the training provided by Royse and Associates not very helpful in preparing me to take my pre-licensing exam, it was absolutely detrimental to passing the Alaska Law portion of that exam. Therefore, I would highly recommend looking for a training provider with a demonstrated commitment to excellence and one that stands by their "product." Unfortunately, Mr. Royse seems concerned only with preserving his own veneer of perceived professional acumen and very dismissive of his complete incompetence and inaccurate curriculum. I certainly won't be giving him or his team anymore of my hard earned money!

They helped me with English and math homework, prepping for standardized tests, and even applying to colleges. Dr. Park is an exceptional mathematics tutor, and he hires highly regarded tutors for other subjects as well. with their help, I graduated from high school near the top of my class, scored a 35 on the ACT, and am now studying electrical engineering at Purdue University on a scholarship. The teaching staff at Dr. Park's Academy genuinely care about your success and growth. I would definitely not be where I am today without their tutilage and guidance. All of the students there are encouraged to be critical thinkers, and to have their sights set on long term goals as they go through the motions of K-12 education. I highly recommend Dr. Park's Academy to any and all students looking to improve themselves, challenge themselves intellectually, and broaden their horizons.

He helped me build my base and understand the curricula in both science and math, not just memorize it. I then started taking classes in SAT/ACT courses and they helped me a lot. From the time I wasn't taking his classes and one year later when I did take his classes, my PSAT score went up by 300. He hires real teachers and people of validity when he does, and works to give the best education prep he can to his students. I continued to study with Dr. Park, and he helped me get the best scores that I could in SAT and ACT. I was always on top of my schoolwork, and I can honestly say that he was a big part of it. Once I was getting close to applying to college, he helped me get through the toughest parts of it and helped me create the best portfolio I could to appeal to the admissions parties at schools. I eventually through the help of Dr. Park was able to get admission to Brown University with a full scholarship. Even now, he asks me how I am doing, and if I need any help. He isn't just there to give you an education because he needs money, but rather, to help and guide the next generation of students in what they need. He is nice, caring, and understanding of any situation for any student. As a past student, I can say that my grades and test scores definitely went up due to going to the academy. I recommend him fully for any service that you are thinking about getting from him, because it will be the best. Takuma Inoue: Dimond High School '19 and Brown University '23
