Signing my daughter up with Prepory was possibly one of the best investments I have ever made in her future. She worked most closely with Nikita Dias, her College Admissions Coach, who was phenomenal: patient, supportive, knowledgeable. They never tried to force her to be anything she's not, but instead helped her find her own distinct and unique voice. Ultimately she applied to 18 colleges and universities and was admitted to 12, including being admitted to her dream school in the Ivy League. If you are considering Prepory for your child, I heartily recommend them.

Exceptional education provided to my son. My son's coach, Juliette, has provided an extremely high level educational experience while personalizing lessons to his needs. This isn't a cookie cutter approach that I've heard about with other programs. I'm extremely happy with the program.
