Testimonials
When my son and I first met with Growing Minds, he was a mediocre, underperforming student at Santa Monica College, with no direction and really no prospects for getting into a decent 4-year college. They took him under their wing; he graduated from Chapman University with a 3.72 GPA; he has had two papers published in scholarly journals; and one of his class projects was included in Google Scholar. Best of all, they ignited his ambition and thirst for knowledge. He recently applied to several Master’s programs, and has been accepted to one of his top choices.

The Growing Minds team were our guiding light in navigating a very difficult process. Their unwavering support and exceptional knowledge gave us a clear path to a successful college admission story. I do truly believe without their help it would have been stressful and overwhelming. They understood my son’s needs and continued providing us with much-needed direction. Their tutoring services were amazing as well. I can not recommend Growing Minds enough… I’m already on the path with our younger son!

There is simply no rating that could define my experience with Growing Minds and their incredible team. Whether it is for one-on-one tutoring, standardized test prep, or academic counseling, their staff is simply the best at inspiring students to work hard toward their educational goals. Both my sister and I came through a friend’s referral, and we were amazed. Make the best decision for yourself and go to Growing Minds. They will go above and beyond.

Our son has been working with Growing Minds for three years. Through their thoughtful insight, tailored approach, and unwavering dedication, they have significantly altered his academic trajectory. He has not only begun excelling in his coursework, but has also gained confidence that colors his world even beyond the classroom. We are forever grateful for Growing Minds’ transforming our son’s life.

Growing Minds enhanced my writing voice and helped me tackle the logistics of the application process in a superb way. It is thanks to them that today I attend Yale!

To say our son was anxious about getting into a good college doesn’t really describe his stressed-out mindset. After we walked out of our first meeting with Growing Minds, he turned to me with a big smile and said: “Looks like I am going to college”. He applied to 15 schools and got into 12 of them. All 12 offered him merit scholarships and he was not a straight A student.

By far the best tutoring and prep service in Los Angeles. The drive may be far, but it’s definitely worth it! Beyond excellent in writing college applications.

There is just no other College Guidance place like Growing Minds, period. The whole team at the office is just amazing and they make you feel like family. They guided us through the college process with great ease, knowledge and advise and resulted in admission into the top universities in the country, including Ivies. I cannot recommend their services highly enough as they are the number one at what they do!!

High school can throw a person many ups and downs over the course of four years. I am thankful to the counselors at Growing Minds who have listened and have provided insight to help my son navigate through the academic demands and all the decisions he has to make for college. They have invested so much time and I appreciate and thank them for their time and care. My son will be graduating high school soon and I can see what a positive role the counselors and staff have made in his life. I hope my son will carry all the suggestions and advice with him for years to come.
