My time with Princeton Review

I felt my time with this course and the lessons I was apart of were very helpful. My scores increased by a sizable margin and I learned a lot of useful skills. Mr. Salvatore was very interesting and always kept me engaged in the lessons. I doubt I would have done as well without his help.

Student feedback

Veronia is extremely helpful, responsible and understanding with me throughout the duration of my tutoring experience. I am a slow learner and she was very understanding with my predicament. She showed careful attention to the areas where I was lacking and giving a wide range of advice to places that would best suit me and not just the format of the test.

Samuel R is amazing

Samuel R was amazing. I had a big physics test but I had missed a few classes due to sports and felt behind. He got me caught up and ready for my test. He was also very efficient so I didn't have to stay up all night preparing. I am so glad I found these tutors!

Worth it

Mr. Shanrick Mullings was absolutely the best teacher. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had in my life, and I genuinely made more progress with him than I ever thought I would be able to make.

5 Stars!

My lessons were engaging despite their length. I feel the 18 total hours of instruction for my course was used effectively by my teacher TyShaun Wynter. I also found the supplemental work very helpful and plan to use it for my remaining course access time! For those skeptical of group instruction, I assure you sufficient attention is paid to individuals. Overall a great experience!

I had a very patient tutor that gave great explanations of the questions. If I had a difficult time understanding a question we went over it in detail until I could do it by myself. I was taught tricks that are extremely helpful in helping my answer the questions quicker and with greater understanding.

Very helpful

I was looking for a course to help me prepare for the SAT and this was very insightful and taught me a bunch of tricks to avoid the normal pitfalls of such a test. I would recomend.

No value of the AP Chemistry review 2024

I register my son for the $600+ 6 hours AP chemistry review course from The Prinston Review, hoping it can help him a little. He joined the first 3 hours caours today and told me it wasted his time. The teacher couldn't clearly explain and couldn't answer some of student question. I would say that there is no value to join the course, my son don't even know if he will join the review course tomorrow. Don't be cheated by the name.

Do NOT USE this company!

If I could give negative stars I would. This is quite possibly the worst tutoring program and instructor we’ve ever experienced. They claim to help you master the AP concepts to pass the exam and class but nowhere near delivers. The instructor basically just reads from the workbook, copies it on the white board then the students type in any response or question. They do not actually speak to him live at all - he just says you need to know this and that but doesn’t explain much, talks slow and takes a bunch of breaks. And worst part, he ate during class - chomping away loudly on chips and snacks while talking! Not only is she more stressed and confused, but I am so upset that she wasted all this time, instead of actually getting real tutoring. We’ve been just trying to do everything to ensure we get the money back score guarantee but now that I’m reading these reviews, I doubt they will honor it even though she’s done all the homework, tests and classes. I should just dispute it with my bank for dissatisfaction with service. Will never use them again, buy their books or recommend them and will definitely open up a BBB complaint if they renege on their guarantee or sue them.
