Hands down this is the best tutoring service I have ever hired for my children. Being a single…read moreparent with three kids is a tough job, especially when it comes to being on top of their academics. I have worked with over a dozen tutors in the past and none of them seem to be reliable or be able to effectively teach my children in a way that "sticks". I didn't know what to expect when I originally signed up for this service. It was relatively new and I was referred by another parent at my child's basketball league. THEY WERE EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. The service provides professional and experienced tutors who know what they are doing. It is very had to find someone in Orange County... The tutors drive out to our home at no extra cost. To top to off, the prices are fair and the tutors are very approachable and easy to talk to. They update me on what my children are working on and the improvement they are making. This is a huge step from my son saying that he did "nothing" today at school. I feel like I have stumbled upon a pot of gold and I would 1000 precent recommend this service to anyone in need of a mentor and tutor. I have used the service for Calculus, Chemistry, and SAT and AP tutoring. Thank you very much Tutor Me Orange!

For a service that told me pretty much exactly what I thought I would hear (and also a lot of stuff…read morethat I thought was impossible), this was the single best $600 I have ever spent in my life. JORF is a place where HS and college students and even adults come to learn about their innate aptitudes (not interests, but what you are NATURALLY good at, and not good at as it were). I came in hoping for some direction. I had hated my career for 8 years and hoped that JORF would give me some insight into why, so that I could fix what was not working. And boy did they deliver. As it turns out, I am a classic "ideaphoric" which is just a made up word for someone who has to be constantly stimulated and constantly learning, working on a team but accountable to herself (i.e., never micromanaged). It also means that I should be giving the orders, not taking them. I am better served to have ideas and let someone else put those ideas into form. AHA! At all my previous jobs but one (which was my favorite - working in a hospital) I have been micromanaged like hell, not because I needed to be (all my bosses have said how good I am at what I do) but b/c the business I was in (marketing and technology) tended to employ and promote managers who by their very nature cannot delegate, don't know how to do any of the tasks they assign to you themselves and who take credit for others' work. No wonder I was so miserable. I also found out that while I was never good at science in school (a really bitchy teacher told me at 8 years old that I was a "bad science student" and that I was "stupid" compared to my more math-minded classmates... effectively ending my will to try), and I was very creative in school (hence all the marketing jobs)... my aptitudes were the opposite. I am very science minded and while I am creative, it's more of a hobby as it doesn't fulfill any of the other natural abilities I have that would make a job "satisfying" to someone with my aptitudes. So suck it Ms. "X", my 3rd grade science teacher. Glad you got fired from teaching just a few years later. For a scant $600 fee, you get over 7 hours of psychological testing (puzzles mostly, and word association type tasks but these are not an IQ test, they are only measuring what you are naturally good at, so don't try to study for these) AND a consultation explaining your results at length. You get to keep your results and come back with questions at any time during your life, too. I was so affected by my experience there that within 3 weeks of getting my results, and after 8 years of struggling to figure out what I wanted to do with my life, I made a swift decision to go to medical school. Just like that, all the cloudiness and indecision slipped away because this time, I had proof that I had the aptitude for it (in addition to the burning desire) and not just the opinion of some teacher who didn't want to do her job and TEACH me. If you are struggling to figure out a career, a major, want to find out what you're good at, or want to know if the job you've been offered is a good enough fit for you that you'll actually enjoy it... call Johnson O'Connor immediately. I kid you not, it was best thing I've ever done for myself. I'd even call it fun!

Why? 1) Every instructor has a 99th percentile score and 2 or more years of teaching experience before they start at Manhattan Prep. Not only will your instructor have a perfect (or near-perfect) score, but all of his or her colleagues have perfect scores. They're 2) The company invests over $5,000 training every teacher before they're allowed to teach in the classroom. I earned maybe 500 bucks training for my first test prep gig at one of the big companies. 3) They pay their teachers enough so they actually care about their students. I can pay my rent teaching 3 hours a week for this company, so I make sure that my students are happy.

I am officially enrolled in the MBA program of my dreams at Yale and I can't tell you how critical…read moreit was for me to work with Chris Peckover at Manhattan Prep. 1 year ago, I decided to study for the GMAT on my own. I was very dedicated and studied EVERY day for a total of 125+ hours over the course of a few months. I practiced problems from the Official Guide. I completed the Verbal and Quant GMAT study guides front to back...twice. Then, I took the test. I scored nowhere near where I needed to be. I was completely devastated. I only had 1.5 months to get my quant score up and I was a severely sleep deprived new mom. Did I mention I was only interested in applying to one MBA program? No pressure, right? I decided to work with a private tutor and went with the best of the best: Chris at Manhattan GMAT. He worked around my schedule and within one session, he knew my study style and targeted my weaknesses. But most importantly, he was able to deliver custom-tailored strategies in a fun and memorable way. He created a proprietary system to zero in on my problem areas to help me improve your score in the most efficient manner. Long story short, I dramatically improved my score quickly and was accepted by my first and only choice school! I couldn't have done it alone and am forever grateful to Chris. The GMAT is not an IQ test. It's all about strategy so work with someone who knows them inside and out. Go with Chris!

I highly recommend Legally Fit for any and all law school needs beyond the classroom. I used…read moreLegally Fit in its first year and was very pleased with the results. DeAndre is fantastic at breaking down complex topics. He makes sure that students understand the topic on a deeper level to assist with analysis. He is also cognizant to teach how to set up an exam to get extra points. DeAndre is also incredibly flexible with tutoring hours and will go above and beyond to accommodate you, your schedule, location and price. He has been so generous and genuinely wants to see each student thrive. I had such a great experience with Legally Fit as a student that I now have the pleasure of tutoring for Legally Fit! I love working with students, seeing their progression of understanding the material. My goal is for students to understand the material for more then just the exam. I want them to be able to see this topic again during bar prep and have no troubles. If you're having a tough time adjusting to what law school requires of you or simply want to do better, Legally Fit is the place for you!

As a bar prep service, Legally Fit is as intuitive and hands-on as it gets. DeAndre not only…read moreunderstands the mental, physical, and emotional hurdles involved in taking and passing the bar exam, but he also genuinely cares about his students in their success and their experience. As a student who struggled with essay writing throughout law school, I was convinced I would never write passing bar essays. The Legally Fit essay writing method not only showed me how to write passing essays but was instrumental in my passing both the California bar exam and the UBE bar exam on my first attempt. The personalization of Legally Fit is something with which other bar prep programs cannot compete. I cannot praise Legally Fit and DeAndre enough and would highly recommend this program, especially for those who, like me, struggle with essay writing.

Walking into Albert & Bryan's office was one of the best decisions I made in my college application…read moreprocess. Starting with outcomes: I got into all of my reach schools & my cousin (applying this year) is knocking out target/reach schools by the day. Of course, results never paint the entire picture, so I'd like to highlight a few behind-the-scenes aspects of their approach that I believe are quite conducive to great application delivery. 1. Crafting an authentic application. Every word on my application contributed to an accurate picture of who I am. Not once did I get the impression that Albert & Bryan were trying to fit me into a "template" of the perfect candidate (as a significant number of college applications guides tend to do). Their primary role was extracting notable points about my experiences and helping me with synthesizing/packaging them into compelling and genuine stories. Authenticity is one of the key characteristics of engaging college essay writing, yet it is often one of the most overlooked. Albert & Bryan know this, a fact that is reflected in their guiding principle: "If we anonymously drop your essays in the middle of the street and your best friends pick it up, they will immediately think of you. If strangers pick it up, they will feel as if they have already met you." I certainly believe that we accomplished this by the conclusion of the process. 2. Storytelling expertise. To put plainly, they are great storytellers. Albert & Bryan teach storytelling techniques that I haven't encountered anywhere else. Short, choppy phrases to convey excitement and thrill; sentence cadence to amplify any message you are trying to get across; sustaining a metaphor to create cohesiveness and make the essay a better read- a few of many techniques that I employ to this day. Telling a good story is a fundamental skill of any capable writer, one that is especially critical when trying to encompass your entire character in a few pages of paper. 3. Commitment to their students' success. Albert & Bryan had many other clients while I was there, yet they somehow made it feel as though I was their only student. They reviewed each completed application with the utmost care. I got emails from them at all hours of the day/night, pointing out the slightest of details (deviation in format, potential ambiguity, minor discordance in information) that I somehow overlooked. Every time I needed their help, they found a way to clear up a time slot. I've heard of instances where they devoted their entire night *after closing hours* to work on a mentee's last-minute submission. It goes to show how much they are willing to do to ensure that their students are supported. 4. Staying well-informed. They go to conferences every few months to keep up to date, not just with what application reviewers want to know from their applicants, but also general trends in what types of individuals thrive at which places. This- along with the personal network & bank of experiences that they built over years of being in the industry- means that they had well-informed and nuanced responses to any inquiry I had about the application process or the universities themselves. It's difficult to find guidance of this quality, especially for a process as convoluted as applying for college. Albert & Bryan's service is a gem in the space. I'd recommend them to anyone applying.

I worked with Brian and I think his background as an Ivy League student from a family that was not well-off allowed me to connect very easily with him.

My family has never been through the American college application process and I would highly recommend Royal Education to anyone who would like clear and concise advice and guidance.

Great facilities, savvy and personable staff; the structure of the program is organized and to the point, yet the teachers are able to maintain a sense of humor and light-heartedness.

It requires a sense of not only leadership and knowledge, but a strong desire for genuinely connecting with clients.
