  • "Stephanie taught me about the craft of writing, and then helped me bring an authentic voice to my college application essays. "

  • "Elliott has not only made my life less stressful, but has taught me everyday tactics to better equip myself with experience, for future work I may be dealing with, whether it be math or music."

  • "Though the college counseling process with both Sasha and Elliott, I've gained invaluable guidance and support that has significantly enhanced my academic performance, improved my study skills, boosted my confidence, and helped me navigate the complex college application process successfully."

  • "For someone who found math to be very anxiety provoking and challenging, Elliott, was a guiding force in understanding math and providing essential skills."

  • "Together, Skillbuilders is a formidable team, empowering me to achieve my goals and navigate challenges with confidence, as well as make me feel like I had a team behind me in the process."

  • "I don't know how to actually describe how Mitchell has impacted my life, he has been so much more than a learning specialist. With him as my mentor, I'm now an accomplished college student at one of the top design schools in the world."

  • "Tony taught me how to kind of become an adult. I was very disorganized, I did not have a process, he taught me strategies and coached me to reach both my personal and academic goals, and my college career has been hugely successful due to working with him."

  • "I always thought that I was bad at math, and had started to give over to the dumb math girl stereotype. Then, I was saved by Talia. Through her intuitive way of instruction, math actually became easy, addressing my learning gaps. I am now at the Honors College at UC Davis-with a full scholarship thanks to Talia's sense of math expertise, and sense of humor."

  • "Stephanie has been a big part of my success at college. She has amazing "life coaching" skills, and put a strategy in place to help me start and successfully maintain my workload at college."

  • "I can't say enough good things about Dalia and her team at SkillBuilders21c. I've used her services for both of my children in several capacities and in each case, both myself and my children were very happy with the results.'

  • "Sasha's college counseling and SAT English prep has been instrumental in my academic journey. Sasha has been invaluable in helping me achieve my educational goals and set a solid foundation for my future endeavors>"

  • "In many ways Tony probably learned as much about handling really troubled children as my son learned from Tony. Most would have walked at times when my son was at his worst, but Tony never balked, even for a second. He is one in a million gifted educator. We are so Lucky to have him!"
