The transition from elementary school to middle school was overwhelming. After finding Allayah, everything turned around. Grades went up, accolades from the school were received and my daughter's self esteem soared. We continued on with her during the summer and I really think that helped at the beginning of 7th grade. Not only is Allayah an amazing teacher but she is a fantastic role model and mentor to my daughter. I don't think we can get through middle school and high school without her and A1. Definitely an A+ in my book.

I signed up for Veritas Prep GMAT online course at the last second due to hectic work schedule…read more Each course is 3 hours long. It is a knowledge packed and very focused 3-hour session, not a minute is wasted. In the live online classroom, my classmates are from all over the world and across the country. Though online, it is no less engrossing and captivating than my other in person classes (which I took else where). In fact, the teacher (Chris Kane) and the teacher's assistant (Brandon P.) kept me awake despite my long hours of overwork and sleep depravation. The subjects are definitely fascinating. The classes offered so much insight and tips on preparing for the exam. Most of all, short cuts and tips on getting to the core of the GMAT questions, which made the exam so much less intimidating. In fact, the classes made the learning fun and fascinating for me. The intense 3-hour session block may be energy and time demanding, but I think it also kept the momentum going. That being said, it does still require practice. And for someone who is rusty with math and verbal, practice is the key. The class environment is absolutely always encouraging, positive and engaging. Once signed up, Veritas ship you this box of study guides, which are companion to the class. Compare these study guides and other guides, one can say not much different. In addition, to the online class and the study guides, I also downloaded the Veritas GMAT APP to iPhone to watch the videos and take the practice exams during my spare time. The biggest challenge, as I learned, is not lack of knowledge but lack of time and energy. Time to study and practice. And lack of sleep due to working overtime does eat away one's ability to focus. The teacher would remind everyone the importance of practice and a good night sleep. As a person who has taken numerous exams and gone to a number of test prep seminars, I found the classes given by Veritas to be the best. Though many may consider its price tag to be steep, but I found it to be well worth the investment. If any advice to offer, I would recommend that you take this test prep class with allocated time in mind. Does require time for practicing, and make sure that you are well rested in between these classes. The classes at Veritas made it easier for me to tackle the GMAT constructively and productively.

I was working with Hailey on a Veritas Course prep for GMAT, and got a 770. A few thoughts below…read morebut tldr my success was not credited to Veritas Prep - 1. Before you start this course. If you are scoring above 700, I would not recommend this course as it spends a LOT of time on basic, pretty easy questions. 2. The pace of this class is S.L.O.W - the burden on the instructor is that she has to address all questions on the online 'chat'. That slows everything down, with people who have not done their homework affecting the progress of everyone else. 3. I give this review 3 stars because I loved the resources Veritas provides. There is enough to keep you busy every week, challenging questions, and covers all 'types' of questions. The practice tests are also hard and challenge you to think beyond the superficial. 4. Hailey was cool & so was her TA. I appreciated her help, her determination to make class fun, and her prompt replies to emails with follow-up questions. In conclusion, if you are already a high-performer and looking for a 20-30 point increase, I would point to Magoosh or if you got the cash, then a private tutor.

Everyone is so accommodating and always willing to work with you to find the right tutor to fit the needs of your child. I also like that they are open until 10pm so of you have a child that plays sports or extra curricular activities like I do, having the option to tutor later is a huge plus!! They also have additional locations around the South Bay in Hermosa Beach, Redondo, El Segundo, and Newport Beach.

We began working with Sylvan and it was one of the best decisions we made for our family's educational journey. Sylvan provided detailed, ongoing assessments that gave us clear visibility into exactly what skills our child was working on and what was coming next, no guesswork, just steady progress. The program helped them build those essential skills with confidence and consistency. A huge shoutout to Becky and Ana, they are true standouts! Their genuine passion shines through, and personalized approach made all the difference. They truly care about each student's success. We are eternally grateful to the entire team at Sylvan Learning on Slauson for helping our child. If your child needs that extra support, I highly recommend this center, it's made a world of difference for us!

Both of my kids have been attending Mathnasium El Segundo for 1/2 year now. I wouldn't say they…read morelook forward or enjoy going to tutoring class (who does?!) but, they admit that the work they do at Mathnasium, empowers them when it's Math time at school. Occasionally, when my kids are not following a lesson at school, they do not hesitate to ask the tutors at Mathnasium to spend time to work on that specific lesson, so they can be more prepared when they return to school the next day. Overall, my kids believes Mathnasium is crucial for all types of students. The El Segundo location is convenient , and all the tutors are great with the kids. The head staff is very patient, and is willing to take time to discuss the progression of the student with the parents. If you are on the fence whether you should send your child to Mathnasium, then I highly suggest you to. The struggle should not be at home, and be left to the professionals.

Take care of your business, especially if you are a minority owned business, DO NOT let a good thing go to waste. I was thinking about taking these courses, but now I am second guessing my decision.

What helped me is my experience training at SCSI and the internship that I just completed with the school. It helped me get the job and now I have two assignments in the next month where pay is at $25 an hour. I also just had a law firm contact me after I posted an add, interested in me working for them. Your success is limited by your own limitations. Many people might complain they can't find a job, as one previous yelper mentioned before me, but it's California. What did you expect? We're overcrowded with people in every market and every job. Competition is fearce. So don't be surprised if you ask an interpreter for advice/info and they give you the run around. They're just trying to protect their livelihood. It's a dog-eat-dog world. What she failed to mention, (yelper) is that the LA court IS saturated with Interpreters who are contractors. That much of it is true. As well as other courts in LA county. But what she failed to mention is that the Government is actually H I R I N G people to work through the Court system. Problem is no one wants to work for them. Why? Because the pay is significantly lower than that of a contractor and/or they don't wish to be tied down to a 9-5 job. Understandable. But don't complain if you can't find jobs because I've found P L E N T Y all over the state of CA and the pay is around $70-80k. I've also found jobs outside the state. So in all, your success depends on Y O U. No school can promise Y O U job placement, Y O U have to get off your lazy butt and look for work. I wasn't raised to depend on someone to serve me on a silver platter and because of that, I'm already finding success. All thanks to SCSI.

After starting with a different (and expensive) college counselor located in Santa Monica and SAT…read moretutor (expensive) who both came highly recommended but were essentially completely useless, we received a glowing recommendation for Blue Train and made the switch. Best decision ever. Our two sons used Blue Train for multiple things over their junior and senior years - test assessment/diagnostic, ACT prep and guidance, college list building, guidance re HS classes and even extra curricular advise, as well as navigating the college application process and the all-important essay drafting. Scott and the people at Blue Train put the boys on a very manageable schedule and in fact, both of our sons were totally done with most applications by Thanksgiving. Both boys got into tons of schools, got thrown tons of money, and this entire process was so smooth because of Blue Train's guidance. We event consulted with Scott when deciding which schools to attend. I cannot say enough how effective and impressive Blue Train was. Highly recommend !!!
