I can't recommend Rob and Passport highly enough. Before we first spoke during the spring of my…read moreson's junior year, I met with two other potential college counselors. One was immediately negative when she saw the list of schools he was considering. She was convinced that every school on it would be a reach and seemed determined to make him, and us, be more realistic. Since then, I've had several friends describe similar experiences. During that initial conversation, my husband was listening in the background, and we agreed that while it was important to build a balanced list, we did not want our son working with someone so pessimistic or limiting. We wanted a counselor who would be on his side, who believed he had a chance, while also encouraging him to apply broadly and thoughtfully. Rob immediately brought exactly that energy. He encouraged our son to dream big and work hard on the strongest possible application, while also gently reminding him that he would be fine wherever he ended up. He was always available for advice and support and never seemed frustrated or fed up, even when our son kept changing his mind about his future course of study. When it came time to refine his essays, Rob paired him with Hannah, a talented young editor who had attended our son's dream school and offered invaluable insight into how to frame his essays. By the time he submitted his EA application, I was confident it was as strong as it could be. We were absolutely thrilled when he was accepted. Throughout a stressful process, Rob and Hannah felt like the best possible teammates, always on our son's side, which was everything I'd hoped for. I'm so grateful to have worked with them, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the invaluable assistance I received from Ryan during my…read morejourney to PA school. After a discouraging first attempt at applying independently, Ryan's approach to helping me reapply to PA school was both reassuring and strategic. He took the time to thoroughly review my prior application, identifying areas of strength and areas for improvement. Instead of starting from scratch, he skillfully built upon what I had, refining it to highlight my strengths and address any weaknesses. I was nervous I would have to start completely from scratch after my hard work the first cycle and only having a month and a half to reapply, but Ryan recycled all my hard work to truly highlight the important things in my application. Thanks to Ryan's expertise and support, I am thrilled to say that I have been accepted into PA school. His dedication to his students' success is evident in every interaction, and I am immensely grateful for the impact he has had on my journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan at Passport Admissions to anyone seeking guidance on their path to PA school.

He's super organized, incredibly insightful, and genuinely cares about helping students find their place. Seriously -- worth every penny. Highly recommend.

I can't say enough good things about this business and about Jeni Rayle. She is everything you…read morecould want in an advocate; she is knowledgeable, she truly cares about the families she represents and she will fight for your child to recieve the services they deserve. We had spent years disappointed with our autistic son's placement in SDUSD. She helped us figure out what options he had and helped us navigate our next steps. We had our IEP meeting this week and we could not be happier with the results. I cannot thank her enough for advocating for our son! She changed his life by getting him placed in an environment where he can get the help he needs (and deserves)!

This is what $750 will get you with Jennifer Rayle…read more 12 days to review a small 2 year preschool ESN file, another 3 days to respond to me asking for an update. 3 hours to create a "binder to review " (that I never saw) we had ONE 30 minute phone call where she talked about herself and how much she hates her former employer SDUSD. Sent ONE over aggressive email requesting an IEP (that no one responded to) and took almost every penny of my retainer. This woman will take your case with her mind already made up on what to do next without ever meeting your child. After careful consideration I decided to retain Jennifer for her advocacy services for my kindergartner. I requested a review of her current IEP amendment and wanted recommendation if I should sign the document. During our phone calls it was very hard to keep on topic but I thought wow she's passionate and has many story's of experience. She continued for over 30 mins to discuss her past grievances with SDUSD, former coworkers and anyone who is an employee of the district. On the phone she could understand my concerns and said let's request a new IEP meeting and assessment- Great! I agreed, she went on to say "I already know we're not going to agree with their assessment- we can get that done THEN request a district funded IEE. (Sounds like a premeditated plan to drag out the process but okay) I was unsure of what an IEE was but i said okay while thinking to myself is that necessary, what if we DO agree? Upon reading the sent email (2 aggressive paragraphs by the way) she requested an FBA (behavior analysis) even tho my child has zero reported behavior concerns. This alarmed me- I don't want to request more than what's needed, I don't want to overwhelm the system or teachers. I just wanted a review of the original file and recommendation to sign or not. When I messaged about my concerns & mentioned I do not what an FBA ie. what if they comply with my requests and we agree with their new assessment? She stated it's all for "data" and we definitely wouldn't agree with them- she is the expert and she's not in the going to beg me to retain her services. Right there that's all I needed to hear- she's not in the business of HEARING your situation or tailoring her services- she hates the school district, she has distain for her former employees and wants you for the long term as a client, to drag the process on by requesting unnecessary data and if you disagree- she will speak to you as if you work for her and keep your retainer. To be clear this is what she did Took 12 days to review a very small 2 year file 3 days to respond to my request for an update 1- 30 min call where she rambled about herself and distain for SDUSD 1 overly aggressive email requesting unnecessary data to keep us as a client long term EQUALS $628 -- RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN

I engaged Vince about 4 months into my GRE prep. Prior to working with Vince, I had worked with one…read moreother tutor that was much too formulaic in his approach to the test. Vince tutored me via Zoom. His remote setup enabled us to have productive exchanges as he was equipped with technology that facilitated easy learning. I'm including this in my review because my previous tutor did not possess the necessary technology to properly conduct remote learning. More importantly, Vince worked with me to apply focus to my GRE study, directing me to the right materials--I had previously only studied 3rd party material. He also helped me to stay on track with weekly study plans that matched my time commitment. In our 90 minute tutoring sessions, we spent our time mostly discussing verbal topics. Most valuable was that verbal discussions with Vince built the necessary experience that enabled me to understand how ETS presents the logic in the TC/SE questions types and what ETS is looking for when presenting their RC question types. As a native English speaker, I had to re-engineer how I read the passages and questions presented in the GRE. My tutoring sessions with Vince helped me acquire the test taking "finesse" in the verbal section that I needed to go from scoring in the 70th percentile (May 2021 test) to scoring in the 96th percentile (July 2021 test). If you have the resources, I strongly recommend connecting with Vince or at least consider taking his online Verbal GRE prep course. Finally, some general test-taking advice re: the GRE. The GRE is a game and you're there to play its 80 little puzzles. One of the best pieces of advice I got from Vince himself: "Be patient, build experience, and take your time with the test." This advice really resonated with me and I took it to heart, eventually attaining the score I wanted. So, to my fellow test taker: "Be patient, build experience, and take your time with the test."
