Insight has a lot of experience on this front, and also a lot of "insight" into what colleges look for. In short, Purvi has been able to guide us through the nuances of the application process. Additionally, she gave us some great advice around summer programs - we would have never found the ones that she suggested. We also had a great tutor for ACT from Insight, who was able to give my daughter some great tips. She ultimately got into her top-choice school. We are very happy with Insight, and have recommended them to many friends!

Hi Ajit, Any chance I can get my $200 back for an initial consultation that was absolute nonsense?…read moreI have kindly asked for my money back multiple times. I want you to known that telling my kid who is STEM focused taking 10+ APs to consider taking a ceramics course doesn't cut it for a $200 initial consultation. JUST GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. Just letting you know that your responses on your reviews of people who complain about your service is underwhelming. Improve your service and you will do much better. Ajit, I will continue to complain about the service I received to every Indian parent that I know in the Bay Area. If you think otherwise, you don't know me well... Based on your "Stanford MBA" education, you may certainly know that word travels fast in the Bay Area. A simple suggestion to all who read this (including you Ajit) - Do NOT pay $200 for an initial consultation. Simply request a free initial consultation so that you are aware of the all of the program details, the costs, and the proficiency level of the counselor. If they can't give you a free consultation, move on and find another program. Believe me, there are plenty of programs that give you all the information that you need without paying fees to find out. They should be selling you on the program and not the other way around. 8/18/25 - Ajit, I read your response. Your answer is false. My wife, my son, and I all attended the meeting with your "counselor." It was you who was missing in that meeting. So don't make up stuff. The fact remains that I have not received my $200 back....

My daughter went through HSPT training with Ken. He is an amazing, patient and organized teacher…read more His initial assessment was perfect, his detailed notes explained what he would need to focus on, and how the classes would be structured etc. He had frequent meetings with us parents to keep us updated on the progress and what my daughter could improve or focus more on. He was also flexible and fully conscious of other school and extra curricular demands. Overall it was a very enriching experience and gave her the confidence she needed to do well. She ended up with a 98 percentile and secured admissions to 2 schools. I would highly recommend Ken and Hillview Prep for HSPT training.

The main strength of this place is a personalized curriculum cultivated for each individual…read morestudent. This being said, BCP's specialty is its one-to-one option, but the group class is also an effective alternative. All the teachers here cover a broad range of high school subjects both normal and AP and are highly qualified in their respective areas. I can testify that these classes, especially the one-to-one, have allowed me to maintain a steady GPA throughout high school and pass the ACT with flying colors. On a side note, unlike many other learning centers, some teachers here are bilingual and capable of offering the same services in Korean. This is a huge advantage for parents and students who wouldn't be able to receive the full benefit of a teacher and the classes in other learning centers. So are these classes worth the cost? Every penny. Not many places will teach each student as an individual, and to some like me, that is critical to identifying weaknesses and improving them for success.

I had searched learning centers for many years because my son is Autism and learning difficulties…read moreand it was so hard to find the right person to teach. I came this tutoring center October 2016 and he was Juniors at that time. His SAT score was below 1150 when he finished summer camp in a different center in Cupertino. Every parents knows this score means terrible and he didn't learn anything from the SAT camp. After then, I switched BCP Academy and he tried to study winter SAT camp in 2016 for 2 weeks then he got 1,400 after that. He received SAT subject Math level 2 100% and 9 essay score out of 10. He prepared 4 APs and got 4 or 5. He is doing ACT summer camp now and he received 36 Math and 32 Science before the summer camp. I wish he could do better and take every chance to improve his ACT score because he is goung to submit college applications soon. My first dream is just catching up his missed school work and go to the regular college but my family is dreaming to send him one of ideal top universities now. BCP acdemy is the only unique individualized tutoring center in the Bay area and the Math teacher can analyze all different level students perfectly and know how to improve and change them. Also, I want to add English teach's great job, because he helped my son to get 10 (97%) essay score. I am so appreciate all teachers efforts!!!

Her classes are inspiring and joyful for both the kids and the parents. It has been absolutely a treasure for the kids and parents to hear the amazingly beautiful music produced by her in classes and to learn how she makes it. Importantly, she can always easily come up with concrete and vivid examples, stories, pictures, etc, to help kids (and parents) to understand piano playing techniques and the essence of the songs! In addition, she can provide and come up with tons of practice methods to make practicing piano a fun and exciting process! Sometimes I doubt but then am surprised that my daughter is able to produce the amazing sound and melody, by practicing as she suggests! Along the way, I have witnessed and experienced that my daughter's sense and perception of music and sound has been greatly improved. More importantly, her piano playing techniques have been skyrocketed under Mrs Emilia training! Thank you!"
