The school was amazing at incorporating the Japanese culture in all the events and in the classroom. My daughter really really really loved her teacher. Her teacher was very kind. It seemed like they had about 4 - 5 events within our 6 month attendance. This allowed us to learn so much about the Japanese culture. I would attend their events again. They ask for parent cooperation. It's not required though. Parents have a say (vote) in a lot of aspects of the school, which is nice. They are a pretty transparent school. We might return in a few years. Check out their website for events and fundraisers. I hope this review was helpful

In short, ESM is the best you can get. ESM's team of mentors helped me immensely throughout my time…read moreas a high school student. 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. As stressful as high school was for me, Billy and his team of warm, SUPER intelligent, polymathic mentors, guided me through every step of the way, being accessible 24/7 by text, call or email. 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! I trust the team at ESM and cannot wait to have Billy and his team help my own future children apply to college!

ESM has supported me and my family for years now. Not only did Billy help improve my high school…read moregrades, get phenomenal ACT scores, and get me accepted at a majority of my college choices, but he continues to support me and offers his thoughts and help whenever I text or email him about grad school and career choices. Billy has a wonderful set of tutors that really cares for their students and want to see them achieve all their academic and extra-curricular goals. 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.

I am so happy this test center is here. I drive from the Bay Area because it's the only center I…read morecould find that administers proctored exams on Saturdays. I need a large number of DSST exams still for my Bachelor's degree so I plan to be a frequent visitor. I emailed Alex a number of times before I took my first exams and he is very nice and helpful, he responded to all of my emails in an hour or two, tops. Took my first exams last weekend and the process was very easy and painless. I was in a small room with four other testers, and one couldn't stop moving in her squeaky chair. I've thrown a handful of earplugs in my purse for next weekend, I should be good to go. Alex assured me they will send my exam results directly to my school, it hasn't happened yet but it's nice to know it is taken care of. My only reservation is that the room is SO tiny and with so many testers crammed in, it can be distracting. Plus the exam fee is $30 which is higher than anywhere else, I've noticed, but again, I'll pay the added cost because I am SO incredibly grateful to have a testing center available on Saturdays.

I used their services for two years being an online student you need to have tests proctored from…read moretime to time. This was the only place I could find in the Sacramento area. They charge $25 for the first hour for new clients and $20 if you come back next semester. They are fully prepared to submit any paperwork needed by your university to become your proctor. They have several proctors at this location. In fact i never saw the lady who actually signed my proctor paperwork. It's a very legit business, your school will send your test and they will have it ready for you. I even forgot my calculator one time (for a math test, yikes!) and they were able to give me a calculator after i had already started my test. The environment is not the best. It's in a terrible location. One time during the test, the neighbors behind the building were blasting mexican music, it was very loud. Not their fault. I felt completely unsafe in this area. One time there were guys just hanging out in the lobby clearly with no reason to be in the building. I have to give them a 3 star because while my first semester was a 5 star. They began to change. In fact their web site has changed so much that i wondered if it was the same place this last semester (Fall 2012). I had to call Sharlene the owner each time i needed to set up the test. Maybe you think this is normal? No, my school would confirm that She had received the materials and then it would be a week later and no call from Sharlene. Then i would call the number on the website, no answer. Left a message no call back. I emailed, waited a few days, no response. At this point it's the week of my test. BTW my school sent dates that i can take the test, she had received the material 3 (Three) weeks before this. IT made me stress out so bad everytime i had to take a test. This happened ALL semester long, not just once. I was becoming furious i was hoping i wouldn't have to use their services ever again. The first 3 semester i used their services, They called me when they got the email saying, "You're test materials have arrived, when would you like to schedule your test?" that was great, a GOOD Customer SERVICE response would be to call your clients when you receive what they need. If i ordered a new suit to come in, in three weeks but they got it in 1, that business would want me to come get my suit early. I sincerly hope that Sacramento Test Proctoring changes back to their old ways. As creating stress on students will not help them graduate any sooner or happier.

I took another review course before the Blueprint prep course, which was referred to me by another…read morestudent and he was absolutely "right". This is the best LSAT course in the industry. I signed up with the live lecture course and Mehrdad Alvandi is a great instructor; he is focused and entertaining (keeps you awake). One thing that one gets by attending a live lecture, is that the instructor is right there if you have questions about the homework, etc. Frankly exposed, this LSAT in my opinion, is a beast of an exam. This is where logic and reading comprehension gets tested at its max. Without a good score, no ABA school will even give a law applicant an admission ticket. I will post my results later, since I am going to take the exam later this year. In the meantime, if you think of joining Blueprint, you can't go wrong. They have online practice questions and excellent videos. So to conclude, if you are serious, I mean serious, sign up with Blueprint. To be continued..

Kyran was a wonderful instructor and made every minute of the 4 hour 2x a week course productive and informative. My score went up 15 points under her guidance and the material provided by Blueprint.

It's a tough job to make studying for the LSAT enjoyable and extremely productive but she succeeded.
