I first crossed paths with Julia Ross in the spring of 2019 at the American Association for College Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) National Conference in Los Angeles. Julia had just finished an excellent presentation on retention, a topic critical to us in the registrar arena. Shortly thereafter, I sat down with Julia to review Professional Tutoring’s College Selection Decision Matrix with over 40,000 data points. Julia’s knowledge of college admissions and the inner workings of higher education astounded me. It is rare to find this level of expertise even among experienced admissions officers. The Professional Tutoring team’s retention record (graduation percentages) is well above the national average. The Official Julia Ross College Admissions Handbook will provide families, students, and even other admissions professionals with an outstanding guide to admissions from the first foray to choosing the best match.”
As a business consultant, I was in a unique position to observe the holistic approach Professional Tutoring applies to preparing students for the next leg of their educational journey. I was impressed with the process they use and the learning systems they employ to guide junior high and high school students through tutoring situations and college preparation. The rigor with which they approach all phases of their products and the care and empathy shown to the students is truly commendable. I wish I had known Julia when my daughters were navigating these tricky waters.”
I’ve done SAT prep with a different tutoring service where my tutor literally would just read the explanations off the back of the book! I’m so grateful that my mom and I came across Mrs. Ross’s tutoring service because she is simply the best! We were worried at first that I wouldn’t get as much help because the sessions are not one on one, but I actually really like the group setting! Everyone is always so friendly and Mrs. Ross always makes sure to check on every single one of us throughout each session. Sometimes, we even feed ideas off of each other which is always nice! Mrs. Ross is SO very friendly, welcoming, caring, and knowledgeable. She makes sure to work out each problem that I need help with and offers tips and tricks on how to approach similar types of problems. I feel that I will be a lot more prepared for my next SAT because of her!!”
