"In my eyes, what distinguishes Lee's Review is the determination that Mr. Lee and the rest of the staff have. Mr. Lee and the rest of the staff would call me up and give me suggestions on my essays, financial concerns, and even showed a desire to see me grow as an individual."

“Being an Ivy League hopeful, I knew that I had to do some serious preparation for the SATs – I actually live in Washington state, but I heard about Lee’s Review through a friend. I really think that Lee’s Review is something special. It has a truly dedicated staff that’s hard to come by… and a solid program that most definitely produces results, given that you’re willing to work for those results.”

“Lee’s Review will always mean so much more to me than where I practiced the SAT. It is a place of love, encouragement, laughter, and family. They gave me a confidence I had never before had in my studies and newfound passion to pursue what made me happy. With the guidance of Lee’s Review, I had no regrets after turning in my college applications because I truly felt that they were the best of reflection of who I was and what I was hoping to achieve in college. I was constantly aware that all of the members of the Lee’s Review staff really cared about who I was a person, not just my score on a test.”

“I’ve attended Lee’s Review for writing, SAT I, and College Consulting, and in every class the teachers not only made sure I understood everything I needed to succeed as a student, but also supported me as a person learning to navigate the real world.

“Growing up in a relatively academically rigorous region, I’ve had many help from different institutions. However, the care and exhaustive work demonstrated by the faculty of Lee’s review by far surpasses those I’ve seen at any other institution. Through the guidance of Lee’s staff, I was able to set up the right path for academic and extracurricular successes and get accepted into my dream school in minimal time. Even on the other side of the country, I’m able to apply what I’ve learned throughout my 5 years experience with Lee’s Review.”

“Through their SAT Winter Boot camp, I improved my SAT score by almost 800 points! I was a College Consulting student the summer of 2015 through the end of second semester. I am the first in my family to go to college. The entire college applying process had always been a scary black hole that I had no idea where to begin. They worked with me weekly and showed me all of their know-hows and wisdom of the college admission process ranging from essay writing (personal statement and individual supplements), application building, college choice based upon major, and literally anything else a student can or will need throughout their application process. I recommended my 14 year old sister to be involved with the Lee’s Review at a early stage of high school to ensure her successes in her pursue of her dream college. I say with a full heart that if it was not for them there would have been no way I could have grown into the man I am today with the success that I had accomplished. I admire them and all that they stand for- the success of each student’s in and out of classroom settings and the readiness for the brightest future each student can grasp.”

Mrs. Decambra
“As a parent of children who attended Lee’s Review, I can personally say that I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else with the guidance and instruction of my children. Lee’s Review is so much more than a learning center, it is a place where kids can grow in confidence and in character. As a teacher, I know that students leave not only being prepared to take the SAT, but also with a legitimate understanding of the material. The staff manages to do all of this while still making the classes as engaging as possible with games, jokes/stories, and just a genuine compassion for each and every one of their students.”

I was fortunate enough to be taught by the skilled staff that makes Lee’s Review so unique among other tutoring centers. I owe my work ethic and development to the caring, compassionate, and charismatic tutors who advocate a complete life, one that conjoins hard work with rest and relaxation. I am able to maintain a positive outlook on life because of the supportive people at Lee’s Review, including but not limited to my peers. Going to Lee’s Review was the ‘least’ difficult decision I have ever made.”

“I first came to Lee’s Review for their renowned SAT program to boost my score. While it did improve my numbers, it also provided me with something I did not expect: a dedicated group of mentors that not only complete their job, but go above and beyond by creating a community where students want to learn. Through Lee’s Review, I’ve been able to not only get into a good college, but excel at the college I am at. The staff at Lee’s Review doesn’t just teach students, but cares about them.

“Beyond just the essay review and application management that is what constitutes the black and white of the college application process, Lee’s Review provided valuable guidance and a supportive environment to help me develop into a more well-rounded and successful student — both in high school and in college. The encouragement and genuine care that each of the members of the Lee’s Review family give to all of their students is truly inspiring, and I would not be where I am today without their support.”

Mr. & Mrs. Honda (William and Katy Honda's Parents)
“Lee’s Review has been part of our lives for the past three or four years. Our older daughter Katy started with SAT Prep and continued with College Consulting services. Our son William continued our relationship with Lee’s with SAT Prep and College Consulting service as well. Throughout this time at Lee’s we observed the great value and care that Mr. and Mrs. Lee and their staff provided to our children. Our kids received excellent preparation for their SAT exams and we all received excellent guidance during the college application and selection process. What is a very stressful process was made a lot of less stressful thanks to Lee’s Review. We are very grateful we found them and now consider Mr. & Mrs. Lee and their staff, family friends. Our kids were accepted at Stanford and USC in large part due to the preparation and guidance that was provided by Mr. & Mrs. Lee and their staff. Our family is forever grateful.”
