I've worked with Justin (aka Joey) last year with my first son on test preparation, and now I'm having him work with my second son on test preparation. My first son was able to jump from a 25 to a 31 and my second is about to follow in his footsteps. He's been an invaluable resource for all things college admissions and test preparation. He's also helped my older son craft his college essays. I can't recommend him highly enough!
