They've had my back through every step of my journey. Nafeez has been excellent as a GMAT instructor and he's really taken the pressure off of studying for the test. I highly recommend. P.S. Extra friendly to Veterans!

I think students could also benefit by being split into groups based on their learning styles/skill level/programs and fields of interest, but this may require more Sherpa tutors being staffed. And finally, there needs to be some way for students to have slides available before the live session. What exactly is the copyright issue and how can it be resolved to make this happen? More to come.

I just took a GMAT test prep course with Anthony Ritz and it was an amazing experience. The way he…read morecovers the material is extremely engaging and efficient. He focuses on the most relevant and common errors and hits on them over and over till you get it. He is also super available and committed to helping his students who are struggling to get there. It's rare that you find someone so passionate about his work - he does it because he cares and genuinely wants the success of his students. I feel very fortunate to have found this course and am confident that I will well surpass my target score of 720. He is honestly going to be the difference between me going to Stanford vs a community college for business school. I'm sure the rest of Veritas is great too... but nothing beats this guy!

I have just completed my Veritas program (March - April), instructed by Anthony Ritz, and found…read morethis program INCREDIBLY helpful. I found out about Veritas through a friend who previously took the program (who scored a 740). He told me how this program was exactly what he needed to make him get the score that he did eventual receive. I of course was skeptical, and a little intimidated, however, now that the class is complete, I can say with utter confidence that I feel significantly more prepared for the test - and ultimately agree with my friend. I have my test scheduled for later this year and feel much more prepared for the test. 1.) The resources - Veritas has done a great job of providing everyone with all the tools they could ever want to prep for the test. Between a video catalog covering all pre-class work/classes/homework, to the weekly classes, you can never feel lost through the work. 2.) The instructors - As said earlier, my instructor was Anthony Ritz, who keep the class engaging and informative, while keeping everything professional and tailored to what the students needed. 3.) The discipline - While having a 9-to-5 job, it is initially intimidating to consider how you can keep up with the work. But, if you are serious about the test - the discipline is something you need to have, and the Veritas program supports you throughout the development. I recommend this program to anyone who is serious about the GMAT and getting into a top B-school.

If you cancel the sessions with the tutor ahead of time for a month, you still get charged for using zero hours of the package. They are completely unreasonable and don't offer refunds.

The…read moreLSAT is basically all about logics and at first I was very confused trying to crack the code and a friend recommended this company. Their method of teaching is straight forward. I was skeptical at first because their prices were surprisingly on the low end but once class started I got a hang of it. Prior to enrolling I researched other companies and found that this company offered more class time and also had an after help class for those who needed extra help. I couldn't be more happy. I definitely would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an LSAT prep course.

The organization was responsive to our concerns but still had a few hiccups along the way like re-schueduling of classes and poor communication during inclement weather. The class was very helpful and will improve your score, the instructor was great. My issues have to do with the management of the organization, the lack of organization and coordination. They need a much better way to communicate and if you are taking this during the winter, they will not cancel any classes. So if your son or daughter is taking the class use your best judgement on their safety rather than wait to hear from them because you won't.

I am extremely disappointed with The Princeton Review's LSAT self-paced program and, more…read moreimportantly, its customer service and refund process. Before you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars, read the refund policy very carefully. If the course isn't the right fit for you, don't expect much flexibility. I found the policy to be rigid and completely one-sided, with little regard for customer satisfaction. What frustrated me even more was the inability to speak with a manager. When I requested one, I was told that wasn't possible. Instead, the customer service representative documented my questions, submitted them to management, and informed me that someone would call me back within two business days. If you have a time-sensitive issue, this process is incredibly frustrating. There is no opportunity to have a real conversation with someone who has the authority to resolve your concerns. As a Texas customer, I also found this process concerning. Texas is a one-party consent state for recording conversations, meaning I can legally record my own calls. Yet instead of allowing customers to speak directly with a decision-maker, communication is filtered through an agent's written summary of the conversation. That means management is relying on someone else's interpretation of what you said rather than hearing your concerns firsthand. This creates unnecessary room for misunderstandings and leaves customers feeling unheard. For a company that prepares future lawyers--people who are taught to value fairness, transparency, and due process--I expected a much more customer-focused approach. Instead, I experienced inflexible policies, poor escalation procedures, and a customer service model that felt designed to delay rather than resolve concerns. There are many LSAT preparation companies competing for students today. Based on my experience, I would encourage prospective students to carefully compare refund policies and customer service before choosing The Princeton Review. I cannot recommend this program.

Top Test Prep definitely hired me an excellent ACT tutor. But if you are considering using them…read morefor the college admissions counselling help, do yourself a favor and DON'T. We paid $6500 so Ross Blankenship can "guide" us through the process. What we got was extremely poor communication, no timelines, no master plan, no specifics on how to tackle the job at hand or specifics. Ross missed pre-scheduled phone calls more than once with no notice and went AWOL right on time for the early decision applicaiton to be due. We landed up panicking and submitting it without any reviews from him. A lot of aggravation and stress to say the least. when we complained about the service, and asked to have them charge us for the 5-6 hours he had spent thus far and to refund the difference, we got told that the company policy does not allow that!. We were stuck and landed up trying to just get the essays looked at by him and not using any of the edits. Do yourself a favor, if you need someone to look over your essays and have exhausted your friends, teachers as options, hire an essay editing service. Much cheaper and would give you some value for the money. with Top Test Prep, you will be throwing your money out the window and LOTS of it.

I have known Kristin for a number of years and have worked with her company, Linder Educational…read moreCoaching, to prepare for the ACT, as well as to improve my writing composition and general academic study skills. Kristin's team possesses a broad range of knowledge, encompassing all academic subjects, as well as training and advice pertaining to strong work ethic cultivation and study skill improvement. As a tutor, Kristin is professional, reliable, and understanding. She makes a point to get to know students on an individual basis so as to tailor the curriculum to the specific needs of the student. She does her job, does not get rattled, and is a positive and inspirational influence on students. In all of my experience with her, Kristin has been helpful, attentive, and courteous. She exudes an infectious "can do" attitude that played a role in my confidence-building, leading to better performance in academics, standardized tests, and on job applications. I'm now a student and undergraduate research fellow at Virginia Tech, and I continue to use the study skills that Linder Educational Coaching originally showed me. I'm sure that without LEC's influence during my high school years, I would not be where I am now. From what I've seen in other tutoring companies, such skill and expertise is very rare, and so important. I recommend Kristin and her team without question.

What started in ninth grade as help with study skills, content refreshers and time management skills helped us all manage a difficult transition to high school. Later, the Linder team support included significant standardized test preparation, which led to marked increases in test scores.

With this help, our son has gone from struggling academically to now being in a position of receiving multiple college acceptances -- some with significant financial scholarships as well as honors and fellowship possibilities. Kristin is terrific--smart, practical and caring. So is her entire team. We highly recommend!
