After looking at several houses for sales, I asked my realtor to drop me off at the ice rink which is my daughter's most favorite activity. We passed by the Peninsula Academy. I told my wife this is a great place for our daughter to enrich her English. Kay Lee, the deputy director of the academy was there, she was extremely helpful and listened to me on our needs. She recommended Kathy Kerstein as my daughter's English teacher. We moved our family on July 28, 2017. It's a Friday. My daughter Yiyi started Kathy's one to one class for the whole summer and once-twice a week during the school year. Apparently, she did extremely good at her ENGLISH LEARNER'S class. She moved on with Kathy's help, she got into Stanford's summer school, UCSB Research Mentoring Program. From a Chinese speaking little girl, hardly can speak a full paragraph to a young adult commanding her English In three and half years. My daughter, applied for colleges this year, she got admitted for UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, UCSD. For private institutions, she got Harvey Mudd (finalist for President's Scholarship, she declined), Columbia University and Caltech. She accepted the offer from Caltech and will be the 2025 class of Caltech. Kathy Kerstein is a great teacher, she is always available and ready to help, I would like to thank the Academy for all the supports. Chung

We called PVP Test Prep and talked to Jim, who invited us to come right in. In a single hour-long interview, my daughter learned more from Jim about test taking than she had from previous tutors. Chris, her PVP tutor, quickly evaluated Rachel's strengths and weaknesses, taught her only the subject matter she did not already know, and helped her master test-taking strategies. She attended two sessions a week, did the assigned homework, and at the end of summer, took the ACT. She scored a 30, a 6-point improvement over her initial scores on sample tests. My daughter has just committed to UC Santa Cruz, the school she was hoping for. We couldn't be more pleased with PVP Test Prep.

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 !!!

I've referred several friends to them and my friends have all been really happy.

First he assessed my son's areas of strengths and those where he could improve. Then he was able to customize his coaching to maximize his strengths while also helping him develop other.

The day of the test he felt ready and confident while taking the SAT! Immediately afterwards he got on the phone to compare notes with his peers. I've never seen someone be so enthusiastic about taking a test and waiting for scores. He truly has a way with students!
