The teachers and staff are wonderful. They truly care and understand how our kiddos think and what they need to be successful. Everyone is welcome and "belongs!"

The only complaint would be - the cost and the number of day off. The school is extremely expensive. And the number of days off is high! You can't teach kids if they are not at school. Would prefer more days in school / less days off.

Carla was incredibly professional and responsive from the very start. She answered all my questions and provided detailed information right away, making the entire setup process smooth and stress-free. The tutoring sessions are held via Zoom, and Carla (or sometimes one of her team members) works one-on-one with your student, accommodating your child's schedule. What really stood out to me is how much care they put into understanding what your child needs. The approach is highly personalized, with a clear goal of setting students up for long-term success. It's also very clear that Carla is passionate about what she does--and based on both my experience and the many other glowing reviews, she's also truly excellent at it. My only regret is not finding this service sooner. Bottom line, highly recommended.

We have met with Jason and he's a really good tutor. I sat in the waiting room for the first meeting and I liked how he directed her to the answer instead of just giving her the answer.

We weren't expecting to be looking for another school as she just started her freshman year but she knew right away that it wasn't a good fit. Annie guided us by getting to know our daughter and our family well. She talked to us about boarding schools as she is very familiar with the East Coast boarding school scene. She attended a boarding school fair with us and made introductions as she knows many of the schools admission officers. While we ultimately decided that boarding school wasn't for us, she did lead us to an excellent private high school in San Francisco. She made the daunting search bearable and even fun. She was easy to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone interested in investigating boarding schools both coasts or independent schools in the SF Bay Area.

The location--Fitzgerald Marine Reserve and the neighboring forest--is spectacular, and I am constantly being surprised at the random nature knowledge she casually spits out.

His organization and the information he provides about all of the schools are amazing and reduced the stress of having to research all of the small things for each school I was interested in. The way he guided me to write the essay was efficient and saved me a lot of time as I didn't have to write the same essay for another question that was similar to the last. I was able to finish my essays by August. It was a big relief and the whole process seemed very manageable with his help. His ability to provide fluidity in my writing and his knowledge of college admissions helped me especially because my writing was "impenetrable" or difficult for someone who didn't know me to understand. Besides the support he gave me with essays, he was also very easily accessible and understanding. I had his number and if there was anything that came up in the way of a meeting, I could just text him and I got a response in less than an hour. Any rescheduling of a meeting was simple and caused no trouble. Chris is a very straightforward person and gave me the support and advice I needed to write my essays. He is also pretty funny and a down-to-earth person which helped as meetings didn't come as something I didn't want to do. Chris was a great college counselor and I recommend him as his understanding of the application process and his ability to tutor and write were a great help.

Out of thousands of applications, they remembered mine! I highly recommend Chris for anyone who struggles to put their thoughts to paper for a personal statement.

Learning never ends and Chris is unceasingly helpful in all aspects of my life. He is the most incredible writer I have ever met. I also plan on using Chris' services when I enter the work force after college. Meticulously written cover letters, resumes and thank you notes will put you above the rest. Thank you Chris.
