CollegeBound always pushed me to be my best whether that required me writing one more draft of an essay or encouraging me to take advantage of every opportunity available.

The difference between other tutoring centers and [CollegeBound] is not just that their help will exceed your expectations, it is that you will leave [CollegeBound] knowing you will always have a group of friends who support you unconditionally.

Had I not been fortunate enough to find CollegeBound my senior year of high school, I would never have been able to attend the University of Southern California nor would I have been able to keep up with my courses in college. CollegeBound is worth the investment!

If it weren’t for CollegeBound and working with education extraordinaire Joan, I would not have been able to attend my dream school, Brown University. From SAT tutoring to calculus tutoring, I was able to excel in all of my classes from the high caliber of tutors.

Joan and CollegeBound helped structure my college app experience so I didn’t feel overwhelmed when the time came. Joan offered very valuable advice about building my résumé and writing cover letters. I honestly would have been so lost throughout my high school years without the guidance of CollegeBound.

I will always remember CollegeBound for allowing me to have the opportunity to be accepted to schools in which I had believed I had no shot of getting in! Additionally, my writing skills have enhanced dramatically during my time at CollegeBound.

CollegeBound helped me feel confident with my applications while getting them in ahead of the time I ever expected I would. I had the preparedness and confidence I needed to not only submit my applications but feel good about the applications that I was submitting.

I loved working with Joan in the middle of the night, in the early mornings, and every time in between. Her energy kept me going no matter how terrible I felt about the whole college application process. Joan has made this process so easy, and I hope to use her in the future.

My experience has been extremely positive! My tutor and Joan really helped me stay on track and made sure I was getting my work done. I love the fact that the staff was always checking in on me to see how I was doing with my tutor and the workload. I could really tell they cared!

CollegeBound has had a really profound experience on my academic career. I went to CollegeBound for my academic material but primarily for my SAT prep and they helped me raise my SAT score by 340 points from my first practice test to the actual SAT test that I took!

—P.S., Redlands High School

I have had nothing but great experiences with CollegeBound. I feel like Joan and the tutors cater to what is best for me as an individual student rather than adopting one prep method for all students. They understand the wide spectrum of the way students learn and mold an individual study plan after getting to know the student.

Joan helped my brother get accepted into his dream school, and Joan has maintained and even heightened its quality of support since then to the point where, now that it is my turn to step up to the collegiate plate, I wouldn’t choose any other person. I have done SAT prep, achieving a super score of 1570 out of 1600 on the SAT.

I highly recommend using CollegeBound for SAT prep. Both my boys increased their scores by over 200 points! The tutors are well trained, engaged, and approachable. Coaching sessions with Joan are also a must! She provides recommendations and opportunities that greatly enhanced both of my boys’ resumes.
