My child attended Juku for the better part of a year in preparation for the private school…read morekindergarten admission circus (iykyk). Admittedly, with our older child, we did not go this route because we thought it was a bit ridiculous to send a 4 year old to tutoring to get into kindergarten...esp a child who is very well behaved and academically advanced. However, despite that, the older child had difficulties going into the interview rooms and feeling comfortable working with unfamiliar adults at the interviews. The outcome wasn't what we had hoped and dreamed for her. We decided for our younger child that we'd bite the bullet and pay the hefty price tag to do all that we could to help her feel more comfortable and prepared for the interviews. And it worked! She got into our top choice after having a very easy (and fun, as she said) time at the interviews. The schools don't seem to be looking for the brightest student, but rather the student who can adapt to new environments, situations, peers, and adults. They seem to be looking for children who feel comfortable engaging and communicating effectively in these new environments with new people. Juku not only prepared our child academically, but socially with peers and adults. This was done through both the mock interviews and also switching up who the children work with 1:1 each time. The tutors are all very kind, fun, and encouraging. My child really enjoyed going! Though it can be shocking to feel the need to send a child to a tutor for a kindergarten interview, the way we looked at it, is that we are providing her with all the tools we can to help her succeed. If it works, great, and if not, we know we did all that we could to help her.

My son attends a public school that offers K-5th grade. We were undecided about continuing in the…read morepublic school system for the 6th grade or moving on to a private school but we wanted him to have options. Understanding that the SSAT is one of the metrics by which applicants are measured, we decided to take him to Juku to see how he would fare. After the initial test, Dr. Takahashi suggested that he would benefit from tutoring so we had him spend 2 hours twice a week starting in May with some breaks during the summer. To my surprise, he really enjoyed Juku! I have never heard him label school as fun so I had to ask how Juku was different from school. His reasons were "one to one" attention, "learning at my own pace", and learning from tutors who were "fun and eager to teach". He actually likes it so much that he wanted to continue tutoring after taking the SSAT! He took the SSAT in November, performed above the target range for the most competitive schools, and was ultimately admitted to all of the schools to which we applied. I can't say how much of a role his test scores played in his acceptances, but I think test-taking is a kind of skill useful for any student. He learned specific test-taking strategies for the SSAT, like skipping questions to avoid losing too many points. We also felt the practice tests at Juku helped him familiarize himself with the exam setting. Finally, Juku was available for any question about the application process along the way, a valuable resource in and of itself.

The senior year "crunch" is real--balancing a heavy load of AP classes, participating in cherished traditions like Senior Sunrise and the senior trip, and the demands of varsity sports is a lot for any student to handle.

Graduating from Hawaii as well, she knows Hawaii students and what unique attributes they bring to the table. She is kind, thoughtful and very thorough and detail oriented. From the first meeting to the last, Megan was a delight to work with. She mapped out the college admissions process and checked in frequently to see how my daughter was doing. She even recommended a few schools based on my daughter's interest. When we needed to pivot, she did so with grace. She was always pleasant to work with and understood the pressures of senior year and the college admissions process. I was surprised at how much she communicated with both myself and my daughter. She definitely put more time in than I expected. My daughter received admissions to every nursing school that she applied to in the mainland. She also received generous merit scholarships. We attribute this to Megan's help and couldn't be more grateful. If you decide to go w/ Megan, you will be in good hands. You will not regret it.

We cannot say enough about the experience our daughter had working with Mr. B during her SSAT…read morepreparation. From the very first session, it was clear that he was not just focused on test scores. He invested in her as a whole person, building her confidence, her patience, and her ability to believe in herself. For a child who has had to work hard to get where she is, that approach made all the difference. She came out of this process genuinely proud of herself, and so did we. Whether or not the results open every door we are hoping for, the growth she experienced along the way is something she will carry with her far beyond any single test. She hit the score we were working toward, but more importantly she learned what she is capable of when she applies herself and trusts the process. We feel so fortunate to have found Mr. B at exactly the right moment. If you are looking for someone who will meet your child where they are, challenge them to grow, and genuinely care about who they are becoming, look no further. We are so grateful for everything he did for our daughter and our family during this journey. Highly recommend!!
