Throughout the entire process, Susan has guided her in course selections, kept her updated on any changes in the college admissions process, provided advice and guidance for extra curricular activities, and most importantly kept her accountable for all that she should be doing to stay on her college path.

We signed our daughter up for The College Planning Center I believe right before her sophomore year…read moreat Granite Bay High School. I wasn't entirely sure if it was worth it, but I also thought it couldn't hurt. I'll say this: using The College Planning Center was one of the best decisions I could have possible made for my daughter's future! Preparing for college now is so much different than when I went to high school. I feel like there is so much more pressure on my kids than what I experienced. The College Planning Center does a fantastic job of helping organize high school class schedules and coordinating extracurricular activities if your kids are not already involved. They had consistent meetings with my daughter throughout her entire high school years. This was so important because there are times when my daughter was either too busy to focus on the global plan or was simply procrastinating, but having the consistent meetings never let my daughter get too far behind the schedule and goals that she set with her counselor at the Center. The College Planning Center also brings so much collegiate knowledge that we never would have thought about, whether it's enrolling in online college courses during the summer or attending various UC programs over the summer that helped boost our daughter's college applications. Rather than thinking about and preparing for college applications in my daughter's junior year, they helped us prepare throughout her high school experience. I can't tell you how much pressure this relieves when the application process actually beings. My daughter was far less stressed than most of her friends because she had been preparing consistently for a longer time. When you follow The College Planning Center's scheduling and goals, the whole process is so much more organized and less stressful! I could keep going, but we also have 4 kids that take a lot of attention and time away from focusing on one kid during application season. The College Planning Center was so helpful and made the entire college preparation and application process so great for my daughter and our family. Last, she was accepted to her #1 choice!! I highly recommend signing you kids up at The College Planning Center!

When we were searching for a tutor for our 10-year-old, who's wild about numbers and curious about…read moreeverything math-related, we hit a wall. Most tutors and programs were all about speeding through problems, prepping for SATs, or just getting homework done--very commercial, not what we needed. Then we discovered David at Great Power, and it was like finding gold. His approach is incredible--he believes every kid is unique and tailors everything to their curiosity and potential. If you go through his webpage, that's exactly who he is: passionate, thoughtful, and dedicated to inspiring kids. Talking to him, we were blown away by his patience, his deep knowledge, and how he explains things so simply yet profoundly, whether to a five-year-old or a researcher. His storytelling style hooked my son instantly. Three months in, David's roadmap and the way he answers every question with care have made learning a joy for our son. We're super excited for the next math journey with him--he's truly the best! If you want a tutor who gets kids and inspires them to grow, David and Great Power are hands-down amazing!

DO NOT GO TO HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTER unless your family exemplifies 1950s America! I recently…read moretook my child there for an assessment hoping to retain services from them for assistance with reading and comprehension. I was told the assessment would be 4 hours which seemed a bit lengthy but when I arrived to pick up my child the tests were still not finished and I was told that my child was actually finishing early! I later met with Bill Newman to review the assessments. The tests did not tell me anything I didn't already know my child had struggles with and we spent an hour and a half rehashing the same concerns. My child divides their time between my home and their father's home and Bill kept saying that he needed to meet with the rest of the family. I explained that he could contact them and set up time or talk with them on the phone. I also explained that if his concern was not being on the same page, we were all wiling to follow whatever plan was put in place. Prior to this assessment we had all agreed to doing whatever would be best for our kid. I explained to Bill that it might be difficult for them to meet with him in person as they have a business and small children with another on the way. He said he would call Stepmom to discuss. Bill then said he did not want to set my child up for failure and I asked him how that would be the case. He said that if different things were happening in each home my child would fail. WHAT?!! I reiterated that we would follow the plan and then said, so you're telling me that some tutoring wouldn't help? He said no, of course not. Well, please explain, I said. Bill then stated that Huntington has a 95% success rate and his numbers could be impacted. I was flabbergasted!! Bill then said he would not go forward with creating a plan for my child until he could speak with the rest of the family. At this point, Stepmom has called Bill numerous times and he has refused to speak with her on the phone. How incredibly unprofessional and antiquated!! Needless to say we will be attempting to find other resources for my child. We feel discriminated against based upon our family situation. Apparently if you aren't married, in the same household with 2.5 children, Huntington will not work with you!! I have come to believe that their numbers for their success rate are falsely inflated due to being unwilling to help anyone who needs the help. A true statistic would be based upon results from helping anyone who could afford the service and needs the help!! I made the incorrect assumption that Huntington Learning Center is there to help children, not that the children are there to help Huntington!

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.

We owe it to Carrie (the owner) and the teachers that have worked with my son. We love the one-on-one help EES provides, the open communication with Carrie, flexible scheduling, and the teachers my son has had. If your child is struggling at school, I would definitely not hesitate to call EES and get the help your child deserves to become a confident "reader."
