STUDENT SUCCESS STORIES
“My daughter took the January SAT and felt that her tutoring at this company helped to to attain a 2000- a large improvement over her PSAT scores which were average at best. She was taught by two tutors during her course, one who focused on Math and one who focused on Verbal. The course took place in their tutoring center which as good as any tutoring center you’ll find out there. The staff knew what they were doing and were very accommodating”
– Tim, W, Parent; Los Gatos, CALos Gatos, CA
“I really liked my course at Hillview Prep. Over the course of my tutoring program I improved my SAT II score significantly and was consistently scoring high 700s by the end. I thought that Ken’s program was very effective. He didn’t waste any time when tutoring and was very easy to listen to. The large test bank helped me to practice several approaches to every type of test question and I thought that the timing strategies were extremely helpful. I highly recommend Hillview Prep for preparing for any type of test.”

“Our daughter went through ACT training session at Hillview Prep. We find their system approach is very helpful especially in English, Reading, Science sections. The results are very good and she got very good ACT score on the first try this February. Also they are flexible on their training schedules, and offer early morning session which can fit in a busy kid’s schedule.”
– Jialin Z, Parent of High School Student
“I liked my experience at Hillview Prep. I had a very amiable teacher who kept me entertained and engaged with the content. He taught a lot of strategies for each of the five sections of the HSPT in great detail which helped me a great deal. He carefully reviewed every problem that I needed help with and taught me approaches to problems that fit my learning style. My tutor gave a detailed descriptions to my parents of my progress. Hillview Prep is a very welcoming and resourceful environment. Compared to my other HSPT prep classes, I think the Hillview facility is much better. I would recommend Hillview to my friends. In the future I would want to go back to this facility for further exam preparation.”
– Challenger Student; HSPT Prep
“Hillview Prep is outstanding; Ken helped our son that year since he had a teacher who couldn’t teach and since then, he gets help from time to time with various subjects. Hillview is not only able to help in a variety of subjects but also very accommodating in terms of scheduling and reasonably priced. This is very important, especially in comparison to some of the chain tutoring companies located in this area.”
Smokie H, Parent of a Math StudentCEO
“My son used Hillview Prep for SAT test preparation with great results. Hillview Prep did an assessment test and used the results to provide customized one on one tutoring. This process allowed my son to improve his performance more efficiently than with group classes. The instructor, Ken, had a very good rapport with my son and made the tutoring enjoyable. The improvement in my son’s scores from his PSAT and Hillview Prep assessment to his SAT test score was quite impressive. I would highly recommend Hillview Prep to any parent looking for a qualified, reliable, convenient and proven test prep source for their child.”
Teri, T, Parent; Morgan Hill, CA
“My son was tutored by Ken for SSAT and ISEE. Ken is an amazing tutor! He is very supportive, patient, and accommodating. He finds creative ways to teach his students. His students learn and have fun along the process. My son has always been a great student. But Ken’s tutoring made him over the top. For example, my son improved by over 200 points and over 15% on the high school entrance tests. He did so well in these entrance tests that his scores must have been a big influence in him being accepted into all the high schools he applied to namely: Harker, Menlo and St. Francis. These are all very hard schools to get into, hence our gratitude to Ken always.”

“Misha and Tommy were great because they made the tutoring very fun for me, while at the same time helpful. Hillview Prep helped me to understand concepts and strategies that I didn’t understand before. The tutoring center was a great place to learn because it helped me to concentrate.”
– Redwood Student; HSPT Prep
“SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE TUTORING AND HELP! Clearly your tutoring worked with the marked improvements on the grades. More so, what he learned for your tutoring will help Joshua beyond the testing for this SSAT/ISEE but also for school and SAT (which will soon to be next). So thank you again for all the time, effort and working with Joshua. We all appreciate it very much!”
– Egan Middle School Parent; SSAT/ISEE Prep.
“The biggest benefit that we got out of your course was not the fact that my daughter scored in the 99th percentile, but that she is now finishing her homework in half the time after learning your strategies. She’s been able to have more time for family & hobbies.”
-Father, St. Andrews School
“Misha was funny and helpful. Hillview Prep helped me to learn that math is fun and important at the same time. The tutoring center was a great place because it is actually a fun place to learn. I would recommend that my friends go here.”
– Redwood Student; HSPT Prep
“I just wanted to say thank you for tutoring me because my score improved significantly! It went from a 2000 to a 2190. I actually got a 780 in writing, I was surprised about that. I’m pleased with my score and glad I took your lessons. So thank you!”
Saratoga HS Student; SAT Prep
“Tommy was a great tutor because if I ever was confused with a problem we would go over it until I understood it perfectly. Hillview Prep helped me with my test taking skills and improved my knowledge in math. The tutoring center made it easier to focus and all their tutors were great!”

Referred a family friend to Hillview Prep for their SAT prep and they were VERY happy with their results. Ken and his team are very smart and incredibly knowledgable about both the subject matter and the tests themselves. With the highly competitive nature of admissions these days, I would highly suggest working with Hillview to give your children the best opportunity to be accepted in to their top school.

Ken did an amazing job preparing my son for the HSPT.  Due to a mistake on our part we didn't reach out to Hillview Prep until a few weeks ahead of the test.  Ken was willing to squeeze in the entire course into a few weeks for my son.  My son received a great score on the HSPT and was admitted to both Mitty and Bellarmine.  I know his test score was a direct result of the tutoring he received at Hillview.

Ken is an amazing teacher, and will prepare his students for any standardized test. Furthermore he’s a nice guy who can help high school students map out their plans for college.

My son attended Hillview Prep to prepare for the HSPT. He has always had some level of test anxiety and even more so with a test as important as the HSPT.  Over the course of two weeks and a couple weekends my son gained the knowledge and confidence he needed to take the HSPT and do very well. His prelim assessment test at Hillview Prep set the strategy and schedule for the next 2 two weeks, and they went to work. Over the course of the two weeks Ken was able to teach my son a new way of approaching test taking that reduced his anxiety of running out of time. The result was a huge increase in his math and comprehension scores from where they started, and acceptance into his two top school choices and his back up choice. As a side benefit the techniques Ken taught my son also carried over to regular school work as well. Ken is an exceptional educator and I look forward to working with him again as my son progresses through high school and eventually the PSAT, SAT and ACT. I highly recommend Hillview Prep above any other teaching establishment, their approach to teaching, learning skills, time management and information retention is second to none and their ability to accommodate busy schedules is a blessing.

Hillview Prep is the only tutoring service we will use. Ken & his team are excellent tutors.  My kids have gone there for help with algebra, chem & biology as well as test prep.  They tried two other places before finding Hillview; both were unsatisfactory in different ways. One simply had tutors who could not teach and the other was outrageously overpriced having doubled the price of their services in less than a year.
