We started the process during our daughter's freshman year in high school. By starting early, Sara was really able to guide my daughter through career exploration, summer activities, volunteer opportunities, college application/essay process, and so much more. Sara was always available to us and we always felt she was supporting us in the utmost way. We had major life events that occurred over the last 3-4 years and Sara went out of her way to support us and find help to our answers. She truly wants to see her students exceed through the high school/college preparation experience. She feels part of our family and we will truly miss connecting with her through our meetings. I can't thank her enough for her generosity, positivity, and encouragement through what can be a very stressful experience. With Sara's help and my daughter's hard work and commitment, she has wonderful colleges to choose from. Thank you Sara and the College Planning Center!

The center has neurotypical kids who have learning concerns, as well as a few kids on the autism spectrum or with other concerns. The academic work accommodates the students individuals needs, unlike public school where it's one size fits all.

The center also does 1-1 tutoring and offers a very fun Teen Group for ages 13 and up on Friday evening.

From my AP tutoring needs as well as ACT prep (BTW increased by 5 points!!), Billy, Adam, and Justin really prepared me for the college application process.

Any question that my parents and I had, at any time, was answered. Looking back as I start my second semester at Columbia University, I could not be more thankful for the time that I spent with the amazing team at ESM!

My tutors always worked around my schedule and made meetings fun and educational. ESM truly wants their students to succeed on any life path they decide to take. I recommend ESM to every family I know with students still in high school because no matter how successful a student is, ESM can help.

Like some others have mentioned, it's an older testing center, but it gets the job done! Didn't…read moreseem like there were signs to designate how to get to the actual test center, but I figured it out from friends. It's on the 2nd floor and there's a sign on the door in the corner. There's two bathrooms near it, but you'll need key access. During COVID, there only letting 3 people wait in line at check in, so the rest of the test takers were standing in the hall. As recommended by my test, we are to arrive 30 minutes before our scheduled test time to ensure that we're checked in, in a timely manner. There were maybe 4-5 people in front of me and it took me 25 minutes before I got checked in. Didn't really expect them to take that long for check-in, so good thing I took their 30 minute recommendation. There was only 1 worker checking everyone in. However, once you get inside to get your locker, there's two testing rooms and 2 people to check you into the rooms. During COVID, they clean bathroom keys after each use, and have you keep your own pen and scratch paper. My test can with a two sheet scratch paper. They also clean the test stations after each use. You're also to eat or drink outside of the testing center...no hanging out around the lockers. If you didn't already know, phones are supposed to be off, in your locker. You're to show your pockets every time you enter the testing room. No watches. They'll check your wrists and ankles each time. They'll have you show them your glasses inside and out, show that you have empty pockets, and have you take your mask off and show them the inside. With that being said, ideally you'd be wearing clothes that have no pockets so you don't have to flip all pockets each time you're re-entering the testing area. Maybe even wearing a T-shirt and shorts/capris if you don't want to push your sleeves up and roll up your pant legs each time either. Finally, there are cameras watching you during your test. You're to raise your hand and get the attention of the check-in person for your room, who will then signal you to leave the room (which they've been quick to respond during my testing day). Be sure to bring your ID and locker key when you leave. This room can get pretty warm, so no need for a million layers. They provide noise canceling headphones, but because people are walking in and out of the room, you may want to bring your own earplugs (they'll have you squeeze your earplugs at check-in to make sure there's nothing in them). Staff are pretty friendly here. Overall, not a bad testing experience.
