Posted on Rajiv NairTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with ConnectPrep. When my wife first suggested hiring a college consultant, I was skeptical. My son is a bright kid, and I thought we could handle the process ourselves. A colleague whose daughter had worked with ConnectPrep changed our mind. From the start, Jeremy took the time to really understand who my son is, what motivates him, and where he would truly thrive. We were paired with Elena, who was outstanding throughout the process. She was honest, encouraging, and knew exactly how to push my son without making things feel overwhelming. The essay process was where I saw the biggest difference. Writing does not come naturally to my son, but Elena helped him find his voice in a way that felt genuine and authentic to who he is. He was admitted to the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, his first choice, along with excellent options from UVA, WashU, and NYU (Stern). ConnectPrep did much more than help with applications. They helped my son gain confidence, clarity, and a much better sense of where he belonged. We are incredibly grateful and have recommended them to other families.Posted on Vedant A.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I do not write reviews often but our experience with ConnectPrep genuinely earned one. My daughter came to them at the start of the medical school admissions process feeling overwhelmed and without a clear direction. Jeremy handled our intake and immediately put us at ease. He took the time to understand my daughter's background, her goals, and where she was struggling before connecting us with Samantha, who became our primary med school advisor throughout the entire process. From that first conversation it was clear this was not a team that was going to hand us a generic plan and send us on our way. Every piece of guidance felt built specifically around her. The MCAT support was particularly impressive. She had been struggling around a 501 working on her own and after working with ConnectPrep she brought her score up to a 519. Samantha and her team identified exactly where her reasoning was breaking down on the CARS and science sections and built a study approach that matched how she actually learns. That improvement changed the entire landscape of schools available to her. The personal statement work was where they first stood out, but the interview preparation is honestly what I think pushed her over the edge at several schools. Medical school interviews are not all the same and ConnectPrep made sure she understood the difference. Samantha prepared her for traditional one on one interviews, panel interviews with multiple faculty members, and the Multiple Mini Interview format where you rotate through a series of short scenario based stations. Each format requires a completely different mindset and approach and she walked into every interview knowing exactly what to expect and how to carry herself. She was admitted to the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, and Rush Medical College here in the Chicago area, as well as the University of Michigan Medical School and the Ohio State University College of Medicine. She starts this fall and we could not be prouder. If you are a parent or student standing at the beginning of this process, ConnectPrep is the real thing. Ask for Jeremy when you call and hope you get Samantha as your advisor. We are so grateful we found them.Posted on Calvin TiptonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t be happier with the tutoring services provided by ConnectPrep. The personalized one to one approach, thorough understanding of the material, and patience shown by the tutors have made a huge difference for my son. The progress we’ve seen in both academic performance and test scores is remarkable. ConnectPrep goes above and beyond and I highly recommend them to any parent or student looking for top-notch academic guidance!Posted on Samantha ShoresTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ConnectPrep and my tutor Mary were a true game changer. I was struggling in both AP Chemistry and AP Calculus BC but Mary made the material click. She explained complex concepts with patience and helped me move beyond memorizing to real understanding. The 5s I earned on both exams were because of her support. In APUSH and AP Lang, Wendy showed me how to build strong arguments and make my writing more impactful. What makes ConnectPrep different is how much they care. It never felt like just another tutoring session. It felt like having a team that believed in me!Posted on Madison A.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ConnectPrep has been outstanding for our daughter, Emily. Mary worked with her on SSAT prep and her patient, clear approach provided Emily the strategies and confidence she needed. Her scores rose significantly and she went into the admissions process feeling prepared rather than anxious. Jeremy guided us through every step of the private school applications, from essays to interviews, and the personalized support made the process so much smoother for our family. We were thrilled when Emily was accepted to many of her top choices, including Choate Rosemary Hall, Loomis Chaffee, Greens Farms Academy, Westminster, Sacred Heart Greenwich, and Kent School. ConnectPrep provided the perfect balance of test prep and admissions guidance. We are so grateful for their investment in Emily’s success and recommend them wholeheartedly to any family considering private or boarding schools.Posted on Terry Z.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I decided an MBA was the key to unlocking the next stage of my career, I knew my biggest obstacle was the GMAT. To reach my target schools, I needed a score in the low 600s, and that’s where my partnership with ConnectPrep began. Elena, my GMAT tutor was phenomenal. She didnt just teach formulas; she taught me how to think. She systematically dismantled complex quant problems until they became clear and solvable, and she equipped me with tools such as pacing charts and error logs that made my practice disciplined and effective. In the verbal section, she gave me a clear framework for tackling arguments and sentence correction that replaced my uncertainty with confidence. That methodical approach is how I achieved a 730. Jeremy helped me craft a compelling narrative for my applications. He was brilliant at helping me connect my professional experience to my long-term goals, and his meticulous attention to every essay and application detail was invaluable. The results speak for themselves: acceptances from Columbia, NYU Stern, Duke Fuqua, Cornell Johnson, and Georgetown McDonough, including scholarship offers from two of them. 🥳 For any professional serious about taking the next step, I wholeheartedly recommend ConnectPrep!Posted on TJ TylerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ConnectPrep has been incredible! I raised my SAT score to a 1580. Bethany showed me how to deconstruct each section of the test and taught me how to find the evidence behind every answer. I also worked with them for APUSH, AP Lang, AP Chemistry, and AP Calculus BC. Their resource guides go far beyond anything I have received from school and really made a difference in how I prepared. I am now working on the college advising process with Lynda, who has been guiding me through every step. We have a clear workflow that keeps everything organized, and I already feel great about the Common App essay and supplementals we are working on. She has also helped me with my extracurriculars and passion project, which has made the whole process feel less stressful and much more manageable. I feel confident as I prepare to apply UNC, Northwestern, Michigan, Cornell, Columbia, Yale, and Wake Forest this fall. Everyone at ConnectPrep invests so much in their students, and I could not be happier with the support I have received!Posted on Hudson FullerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ConnectPrep made the college process so much easier. They taught me new methods with SAT prep, guided me through every step of my applications, and provided strategies that helped me stand out. What could have been overwhelming became manageable because of their team approach. I always felt supported but also in control of the application process. Thanks to their guidance, I will be attending Kenyon College.Posted on AbbeyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris was outstanding with test prep tutoring, helping our son raise his SAT score by over 200 points. Jeremy guided us through every step of the college advising process, leading to acceptances at Georgetown, Rice, and Emory with significant merit scholarships. Their combined support made the entire journey smoother and more successful than we could have imagined.

A FEW KIND WORDS FROM OUR STUDENTS AND PARENTS
Katelyn B.
Jeremy was definitely my guiding light throughout the entire college process. He was more of a mentor and friend than anything, keeping me calm as I'm generally a more anxious person. In terms of ACT prep, he helped me raise my score from a 31 to a 34, which really boosted my college application appeal. He definitely takes a more friendly, positive approach to test prep which I enjoyed as I've had tutors in the past shame/degrade me for 'not knowing the answers.' I'm now a happy student at Northeastern, and I couldn't thank Jeremy enough for both his test prep and application help!
Crystal L.
Jeremy Fine with ConnectPrep was an excellent SAT tutor for our son. He exceeded expectations and delivered fantastic results. We tried another tutor prior to working with Jeremy and the contrast of his knowledge, ability to motivate and work with our son was remarkable. Jeremy worked with our son and helped him to achieve an increase of 220 points on his SAT. Based on this success, we also had Jeremy work with our son on his college applications and essays. Our son was accepted to his first choice, Villanova University, a result which we credit in significant part to Jeremy and his ability to guide and mentor. Not only did the work Jeremy did help our son with his ability to increase his SAT score and get into his top choice university, but he has helped him to develop exceptional study habits and confidence that will be a huge asset as he embarks on the next four years of college. We highly recommend Jeremy as a tutor and mentor!

I started working with Jeremy Fine at the beginning of my junior year of high school in September of 2022. Jeremy was an excellent mentor and helped me curate my college application and resume over the two years that I worked with him. His immense knowledge of the college application process was exceedingly helpful when trying to navigate the long and grueling application process.
Jeremy pushed me to achieve a 1550 on my SAT, a score I previously did not think was possible for me; he knew I could do it even if I did not.
When it came to writing essays for college applications (the hardest part of the process in my opinion), Jeremy's writing workshops were exceedingly helpful.
In total, I applied to 25 schools (almost all were T20) and was accepted to 18 of them, waitlisted at 4, and only rejected from 3.
I will be attending Harvard University this fall and could not be happier.
