"Before I started high school, I was against finding a mentor because I'm only a 9th grader. Plus, I keep a daily diary and I feel pretty ambitious on my own. But my parents had received a referral from a close family friend whose son Collin tutored, and so I had no choice. As soon as I started working with Collin, I realized I had been completely in over my head..."

"I was ready to give up and go test-optional since not many students at my high school are college sweats, but my parents found Collin and he helped me join the Gilder Lehrman Student Advisory Council, win a Coca-Cola Scholarship, and boost my SAT score to 1530, the highest ever in my district. Collin even visited my hometown to help me write better essays!"

"我出生在加州，不过小时候被父母带回上海一直读到初三。所以我之前的英语词汇和阅读理解挺落后的。但后来通过一个月的SAT英语补习，加上学着从出题人的角度去总结规律，我最终英语拿了720分，总分1520。这个分数足够我用来申请加州大学（UC）系统的公立大学了。"

Even though I was born in California, my parents moved me back to Shanghai, and I stayed until 9th grade. My English vocabulary and reading skills were behind as a result. But after one month of SAT English tutoring, and learning to summarize the patterns by getting inside the test-makers' heads, I scored a 720 in English and 1520 total. Now I have the scores I need to apply to the UCs.

"The most valuable part of Collin's service is combining the insight and ideas of 2,000 students' activities and essays from dream schools. I feel confident about my personal statement because it combines two of my hobbies: art and debate. Interdisciplinary strategy (交叉学科) makes me a more unique, appealing applicant. This would not be possible if I didn't read and model existing winners' examples."

"My daughter spent four days a week working with a big test prep company and made some progress but stuck in the low 1400s. We tried Collin and Connor's Lessons for the Most Missed Math Questions and could not be more thrilled with the result."
