Unfortunately, she was not taking new students at the time, but the fact that she took the time to call me back and spent her personal time on the phone, giving me some basic information with absolutely no upside for herself speaks volumes. If she will give her time to a parent, who is not her client I can only imagine how dedicated she is to the students she works with. Not only that, but she was a wealth of information in a short amount of time. Thank you for your time, it was truly appreciated.

Her methodology and cadence for deliverables is very thought out and based on her depth of knowledge. It helped keep our student on track with a timeline and game plan. Everything she does is very purposeful. Our student got into his top target school and had many other options. She holds the kids accountable, is a straight shooter and is pleasant to work with, both for students and parents. She's a pro.

The beauty of working with Audrey is that you have a expert guide advising your child on the…read morecomplex college journey who is 100% invested in their success - but who doesn't have the emotional involvement of a parent. It keeps the whole process less stressful and highly productive. Audrey is a calm, knowledgeable and encouraging presence throughout and my daughter felt she was in excellent hands (we all did). My daughter got into her first choice college too, so we are thrilled! Highly recommend Audrey!

I cannot recommend Audrey enough, she is patient, takes a keen interest in her students and a…read morewealth of knowledge. Having been through the college application process once before , we knew what we wanted to look for in a college counselor the second time around and were so happy with our decision. She gets to actually know her students, cares and respects the decisions they make and works with them very collaboratively. My son always looked forward to his meetings with her and came back motivated and energized to do the tasks on hand. We had so many great choices when it came to narrowing down our options- my son was accepted to all UC's, got a full ride to the top LAC, and many acceptances and scholarship offers from highly selective private colleges. Bear in mind class of 2022 was faced with so many challenges! Without Audrey's coaching and insight, I do not think we would have been where we are right now.

Our son is on the autism spectrum. When he became sophomore and the time came to think about…read morecollege, we were terrified. He was attending a program for special need kids and, although his performance improved lately, we had serious doubts that he accumulated enough credits to get accepted to college. Especially since he wanted to be an engineer, and engineering programs are generally more selective. That was the time when we hired Top College Consultants and started working with Eric Endlich. The results exceeded our wildest dreams. At the end our son was accepted to 7 colleges out of 10 he applied to. The process was surprisingly painless, basically Eric and the boy managed it between themselves with little supervision from us. And at the final stage we enjoyed another unexpected benefit of our collaboration: Eric helped our son to make the right choice. That alone saved us more money than the services cost. We very much recommend Top College Consultants and Eric Endlich to anyone who cares about the future of their children.

Look no further....East Bay Prep is the absolutely the BEST ACT Prep Class!…read more The test prep course worked along with my daughter's heavy Junior/Senior year academic load, on top of their weekly test prep lessons. The team was excellent at listening, communicating and following the needs of my daughter "individually" to help her succeed. The tutoring was flexible to her competitive sport schedule, as this was also key to the demands of succeeding in academics + sport. The consistency of the team to give effective feedback & guidance so that she could understand "how" to be a good test taker was priceless and best of all she is bringing these skills test-taking skills into her AP class test-taking. Honestly parents....my daughter went from feeling anxiety with taking the ACT to a confident and smart test taker, BEYOND the ACT!!! The team at East Bay Prep is one-of-kind. Best value...best outcomes...thank you East Bay Prep!

I had been thinking about putting my kid there for a while. then a sudden passing of my autistic…read morechild's father suddenly, made me postpone our first session until recently. Guess what, the Director of Lanies Learning and the school associated didn't really care about my kid learning Math. Even though it was a bit sketchy how they charged me more because I won a district settlement and charged me the "district rate" vs. the cheaper family rate, although both come with the same work involved. I questioned that at our final meeting. So here I come on the first day all the way from Piedmont to Concord, and I barely get a "hello" and no official introduction to anyone or condolences. I had to ask for a little sit down before my kid went the tutor. Then when I picked him up, I peaked at where she was having the tutoring of multi-sensory tutoring, and he was on the floor w/ many desks all around him, squished. When I brought this up to the Director in an email. She was so offended, she tore up my check she said and would give me that lesson for free. She apparently didn't like me questioning what I saw or what I expected from a "round up" after a first session. I was so excited too, but it seemed it was about conforming and not asking too many questions, than really helping my child. We since got a very amazing tutor who is amazing and trained in the exactly what he needed. I was saddened that the Director of this center and the Core Academy that it is associated with would treat a widow this way. So disappointed that they acted in such a way, after they accepted my kid, then said "he wasn't a good fit," after I had a few questions about the first session. Then to make matters worse, they let him go and tore up my check as they let me know in an email. How cruel. I really hope they don't respond, but it did happen and nothing they say, will make it ok. accept an apology.
