After a diagnostic test of your student's abilities, he can pretty easily assess how many sessions you will need to attain your desired score. From preliminary diagnostic to final test score, my son raised his ACT by 7 points!! Simply because he was taught HOW to take the test and how they are written. Michael will meet with your student at your home or whatever location you choose and the working sessions are enjoyable for the kids. Michael has a great way of connecting with kids and making them feel like they can achieve anything. Scheduling is easy ...you can do it online and it's easy to make changes if you have a conflict. The end of this story is even more amazing..my son is now headed to Yale, Columbia University, Harvard and Brown for college visits. Michaels work speaks for itself. My only worry is that I have recommended him to so many people, I may not be able to schedule him for my other child!

We highly recommend MJ Prep and Donovan Kelly. My daughter was extremely apprehensive to testing…read moreand ACT Prep. Mr. Kelly immediately made her feel at ease with the process. We purchased 8 - 2 hour sessions to prepare her for the Mar and June ACT. He came once a week initially and then we moved to every 2 weeks toward the end. He was prompt, encouraging, thorough, and did not waste any time once he arrived at our home. My daughter really enjoyed her time with him and felt it help to prepare her in ways she could not have done on her own. He identified areas that she needed the most help with and helped her to use her time more wisely. She increased her overall score by 6 points. We were extremely please. Mr. Kelly is fabulous!

I give Bob my highest recommendation for anyone dedicated to reaching his/her highest possible…read morescore on the GMAT. He is competent, patient, and teaches everything needed to excel in the quantitative section in a methodical manner. My GMAT score is a testament to Bob's instruction. I began the process of studying in Feb 2017 and scored a 480 on my first practice test after being out of college for 6 years. I wasted my money on a Princeton review course and I wasted my time trying to master the tricks and gimmicks in the course. While it's true these methods will help improve one's score, I found that despite my greatest efforts I couldn't crack the 620 mark on any of the practice tests. I started working with Bob in May 2017. I scored a 740 in late Jun 2017 because Bob made me smarter (it's really that simple)- letting go of the Princeton review and working with Bob turned out to be one of the best decisions I made with regards to my future. If you choose to work with Bob, I recommend 2-3 days per week. Be humble and let him teach you everything you need in order to excel in the Quant section. Most importantly, spend time everyday practicing and reviewing the concepts visited in each class. I didn't use him for Verbal, but I imagine he applies the same structure to his verbal sessions.

My experience with Bob was less than ideal. Although Bob is very knowledgeable about the GMAT…read moretopics, he failed to understand my individual needs. The private tutoring with Bob was a supplement to my already extensive GMAT practice. I had been studying for a few months prior to my initial meeting with Bob. I came to him with specific problem areas and with only 6 weeks until my exam, asked that we focus our time accordingly. He did not adhere to my request. Additionally, he would say things like "wow I'm surprised you got that one correct" or (4 days before my exam) "you're taking a practice exam on Monday right? Not the real exam. YOU ARE NOT READY." For someone who is hired to be an educator, the aforementioned quotes are obviously off putting. During the time I did spend with Bob, he was constantly answering texts & phone calls. His phone was on ringer and would go off 10-15 times during a 2 hour period. His attention was NOT undivided. Good luck to all those studying. UPDATE 9/16 - Although Bob and I did not align well, he did make amends by offering financial compensation for the time spent, as well as other resources that may be useful to me in my studies.

The staff here is very friendly, approachable and dedicated to their work. I firmly believe that if it were not for their help I would not have been as successful in my college applications as I was.

I strongly recommend C2 of Preston Hollow to anyone who wants to raise their testing scores or needs additional college counseling.

After doing a lot of research and talking to a lot of people, Laurie offered the best price and was the only person I could find who had successfully obtained Texas Bar Exam testing accommodations in the past. There were two appointments involved. At the first meeting, I was assessed through a series of tests lasting about three hours. At the second meeting, Laurie issued a full report in writing, answered all of my questions, and helped me fill out all of the necessary paperwork required by the Bar Examiners. It was clear that Laurie had extensive experience with administration of the specific testing required by the Bar Examiners, and the paperwork required to be submitted when filing the Bar Exam application. In addition, Laurie was extremely pleasant and kind to deal with. Overall, a great experience.

This is a review of the tennis courts…read more If you look through my history of reviews, I usually go to PSHS to play tennis if I'm in the Plano area. But for some reason, my friend and I felt a little adventurous on New Years Day. I guess we wanted to start 2014 off with a bang! Unfortunately, it seemed like entire city felt the same way as well. When we got to the courts around noon, all the courts were filled up and there were at least 10 other groups waiting to get on. The courts themselves are tucked behind the school on the NE side. You have to drive through the back parking lot to get there. The facilities look nice and well maintained. I had to drop one star because apparently there aren't enough courts to handle the demand. Not sure about what the lighting situation at night is though. Will have to return and update my review. Tip: We went to the adjacent middle school behind Plano West. There are nice courts back there, but there are no windscreens on the fences. This makes it tough to play during the Winter/Spring in Texas. Also, parking is hard to find.

Inside the testing room: earplugs saved me, but unfortunately if you're sat next to someone coughing incessantly nothing can save you... unless you spend precious minutes of your exam time to make a complaint. And even then they may not be able to fix it because that person is in the middle of their exam, too. You get all the extras your exam allows (whiteboard, calculator, etc). All in all a nice testing experience, only as stressful as the exam itself!
