As a western tiger mom I want the very best for my daughter and I want her to do her very best. I selected Hillview because of the special attention she receives, the progress feedback, and the detailed instruction. The instructors are effective, professional, on time, and connect easily with my daughter so she can learn faster. I highly recommend Hillview Prep.
- St. Andrews Mother "I felt Misha was brilliant. He was a top drawer tutor and taught in a very fun way that helped foster my knowledge of math. The location was top notch, providing all the resources I needed to enrich my learning and improve my test taking. Mainly, my math skills improved a lot, both in understanding and in actual test taking scores. I was scoring low six hundreds at the start, but now am scoring high seven hundreds. I would certainly tip my hat and tell my friends that this place could improve any flaws in their (test taking)."
- Monta Vista High School; SAT Prep; 200 point improvement "When I first showed up to Hillview Prep my average among each section of the SAT was about 500 points. However, after some very detailed tutoring sessions and some well needed testing, I improved about 100 points in each section and some even more. The tutoring skills of both Janice and Levi created a more welcoming environment for not only me, but everyone else that came in for help. Without coming here, I would have most likely repeated my old score." - Bellarmine Student; SAT Prep; over 300 point improvement "Thank you Hillview Prep for the customized and personal tutoring you provided to my daughter. As a junior in High School, my daughter found the program to be extremely helpful. Her instructor (Janice) understood her learning style beforehand and proactively discussed her approach for the tutoring sessions. Additionally, the instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and skilled when working with my daughter’s audio processing and ADD learning challenges. This customized training helped tremendously. The proof is in the final score (over 200 point improvement on the SAT). We highly recommend Hillview Prep."

I felt that Misha was a very good tutor, He taught us in a way that was engaging, inclusive, and fun. He taught me more during the math portion of the classes than i have learned in three months of my algebra 2 class.
The tutoring center was a very nice setting for learning. I would recommend Hillview Prep because they have excellent facilities, provide food and drinks for you if you need it. Before I took their SAT course I thought I was hopeless in math and hated the subject. I have since realized I am capable of scoring an 800 on the math sections, which i have done over 3 times near the end of the course."

"Finally, a place that's conveniently located and effective! As a parent, it's sometimes hard to find a tutoring center you can trust that isn't wasting your time and money - Hillview Prep is just that. My daughter is enrolled in the academic tutoring programing at Hillview for Spanish and Algebra and has been showing signs of significant improvement and is enjoying it! If you're in the area, I would suggest signing your child up for tutoring, and when the time comes, my daughter will be preparing for the SATs with Hillview Prep too. A+!"

"My son took the SAT before being tutored, and he scored very low on the verbal. We were very worried that he would not be accepted to a good college. My wife and I decided to sign him up with Hillview Prep. They designed a service plan just for my son that worked on helping him in the verbal section. He took the SAT again this past month and he raised his verbal score by 200 points! We are very happy that we went with Hillview Prep."

"Misha and Tommy were great because they made the tutoring very fun for me, while at the same time helpful. Hillview Prep helped me to understand concepts and strategies that I didn't understand before. The tutoring center was a great place to learn because it helped me to concentrate."

Tommy was a great tutor because if I ever was confused with a problem we would go over it until I understood it perfectly. Hillview Prep helped me with my test taking skills and improved my knowledge in math. The tutoring center made it easier to focus and all their tutors were great!"

I liked my experience at Hillview Prep. I had a very amiable teacher who kept me entertained and engaged with the content. He taught a lot of strategies for each of the five sections of the HSPT in great detail which helped me a great deal. He carefully reviewed every problem that I needed help with and taught me approaches to problems that fit my learning style. My tutor gave a detailed descriptions to my parents of my progress. Hillview Prep is a very welcoming and resourceful environment. Compared to my other HSPT prep classes, I think the Hillveiw facility is much better. I would recommend Hillveiw to my friends. In the future I would want to go back to this facility for further exam preparation.
