What Our Clients Say

Reading comprehension and writing skills weren't my biggest strengths. CAP helped me to understand poem explications, as well as improve reading comprehension, and writing skills which led to significant improvement in my reading and writing abilities. I have also learned to read between the lines and interpret figurative language. I'm so thankful to CAP, who has helped me learn these important skills! 

Prehan, Student

Tutoring Service

We’re so pleased with CAP’s test prep services. The test prep expert at CAP helped my daughter enhanced her skills as well as her confidence! I have no doubt that her work with CAP is what helped her get a successful acceptance to the two elite private schools she applied to—Pinewood and St. Francis! She is very excited (and we are, too) to start at St. Francis in the fall! 

Stephanie, Parent

Test Prep

​The CAP educational advisor was extremely capable, dedicated and caring. CAP provided guidance to us during the college application process. They are knowledgeable about the process to apply to UC or California State University systems. Overall, we are extremely happy with CAP’s advising and tutoring services and highly recommend them to any student preparing for college or need help in different subjects.
