WHAT FAMILIES SAY

Trusted by students and families.

  • True Ivy League specialists–Ben provides incredible insight into the strategy it takes to get into top-tier schools. He showed us a perspective on applications that we didn't think about–meticulously defining our brand, focusing on our persuasiveness, and ultimately, helping us submit the perfect apps.
    P. LeungHarvardClass of ’29
  • Attention to detail and writing style!!! Ben hammered these things home for us, which were important as we reviewed every single one of our essays with him (38 in total). Unmatched services.
    A. AzizDartmouthClass of ’29

We worked together for over a year, and the personalized attention I received was incredible. My test scores improved dramatically, and the strategic approach to selecting schools and scholarships paid off tremendously.

  • The SAT prep course boosted my score by 300 points! Their strategic approach to applications was brilliant. The tutors understood exactly what I needed to work on and tailored their teaching to my learning style. Beyond test prep, the guidance on extracurricular activities and research opportunities helped me stand out in the competitive STEM applicant pool.
    Tyler R.MITClass of ’25
