Worked with Nicole with both of my daughters - I can't speak highly enough. She is thoughtful, consistent, diligent. Great access, great relationship with our daughters -- great results!

I met with tutors for French, Physics, and Biology. I can honestly say that my experiences with each of these tutors was nothing short of spectacular. They are not only wonderful tutors, they are all committed, understanding, friendly people. They were consistently able to keep me engaged, manage time efficiently, and make my overall learning experience very enjoyable.

I worked with several tutors and every session flowed smoothly. My experience was great because my tutors all updated each other on my progress and what study tricks worked for me -- which made every session way more effective.

Dani H. (student), Los Angeles

My tutor was very hands-on when it came to my learning. She has a keen knowledge of all the relevant information and really wanted to see me excel. She took so much stress off of me by making it fun and accessible. What more can I say? You guys are amazing!!!

There are not enough “5 Stars" in the world to accurately express my overwhelming admiration, support and complete endorsement of Great Expectations. Jen and her team of accomplished and highly trained counselors and tutors were experts in knowing exactly how to help my son navigate through the acutely stressful college application experience, and they did it with kindness, dedication, enthusiasm, and an acute knowledge of the subjects they taught. My son has just been accepted to Cornell University and he is thrilled! I am 100% confident that without the combined efforts of both my son’s dedication and the exceptional team at Great Expectations he would not be off to this Ivy League institution in the fall.

Tory H. (parent), Los Angeles

Before my son started working with Great Expectations, he had scored a 24 on his ACT. By the time he applied to college, with the help of his GE tutors (especially Vivia), his score rose to a 35, with a super score of 36! My son has just been accepted to Cornell University and he is thrilled! I am 100% confident that without the combined efforts of both my son’s dedication and the exceptional team at Great Expectations he would not be off to this Ivy League institution in the fall.

My son had taken the SAT twice, both times he studied on his own with guides and practice tests I bought for him. Both times he got a 1240, which while not a bad score, wasn’t what he considered good enough for the the schools he wanted to apply to. He was skeptical about the chances of increasing his scores after two tries with no change, but we decided to give this one more try with the help of Great Expectations. They assigned a great tutor named Wesley who came to our house for five 2 hour sessions, and then my son took 3 practice tests at a nearby location over the next three weeks. My son scored a 1400, a full 160 points higher than his previous two tries. We are really grateful to Great Expectations and Wesley for the help. It was completely worth it!

Terry S. (parent), West Hollywood

Both of my children are blessed with learning diversities. Test taking has always been a challenge, to say the least. With Great Expectations’ personalized approach and positive encouragement, my daughter was able to raise her SAT scores more than 400 points and gain admittance to several excellent universities.

Deborah S. (parent), Malibu

Our tutor really understood how to help my daughter prepare for the SAT. He was able to identify early on the specific areas where she needed to improve, and most importantly, what type of preparation she needed to do in order to make those gains. Thanks to a 510-point improvement, my daughter will be attending Stanford University in the fall. Thank you!

Susan H. (parent), Santa Monica

I worked with my tutor to determine which test was better for me -- SAT or ACT -- and I chose to focus on the ACT, eventually improving 6 points.
