Kent Prep Review

I love Kent Prep. I love Kent prep because when i need help with i get help right away. They are awesome. All the the teachers and the counselor are really nice and kind. Kent Prep is a really good place to study and get ready for all the tests that are coming up such as the state wide.After all i think that Kent Prep is an awesome place.

To be honest, these are fake reviews. Why?
The name of the owner is Kent Park. Under these reviews, most of them are from students, and Ray Park is hes son( Sure family review). They ask their student to write good reviews for them, so as the employees. All there curriculum's are from old old ACT/SAT books, which is not design by this place, most of the questions are way out dated.

They fire employees every 3 month right before they pass probation.

DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE! SCAM COMPANY!

I was a student at Kent Prep years ago and the teachers and staff were all so great! Prior to my attendance at the school, my SAT scores were average at best, but after taking classes for a couple of semesters, my scores improved more than I ever thought was possible! Thank you guys so much!

In Kent Prep I sometimes struggle in a lot of the classes. When I get tested in the classes, I feel pressure and nervous that I won't do well. But counselors helped me understand that it is new material that im not taught in class and that I am learning something new, so it is naturally hard. I know I will be prepared for the SHSAT and Catholic school exams. If the material is too hard, counselors help me after class and during the pretests.

I love Kent. It is the best. I have learned so much from here. They have a great staff that helps with my learning.

Theres nice counselors and they really helped me improve my grades.

If you want your kids to succeed I highly advice you NOT to send your kids here. My experience with Kent prep is NOT filled with tranquility and happiness but only disgust. The head director of this program is a cold-hearted lady named Joyce whose only concern is manipulating her students and their families into spending hundreds and even thousands of dollars. She is unkind to her staff and treats her students as if they are all expendable. The sentiment that dictates my feelings towards Kent prep as a past student is only negative. Kent prep is an institution based on lies and false hope. DO NOT WASTE your time and money and send your kids somewhere else to learn.

never seen a private tutoring place where the teachers run from the parents. they let the kids out of class and than they run the other way to a locked office.

kent prep is hard and challenging. But it helped me do better in school, especially math, so I know it is worth it. Also, the teachers make it fun to learn.

Best Test Prep in New York. Teachers are top rate and staff are very friendly. Tuition is a tad bit high but well worth it for the quality of the education.

Sent my 2 daughters to Kent last summer to attend their classes. The kids enjoyed the program and thought the teachers were all great. Their school grades certainly improved so I do believe they're effective.

Kent Prep is the best! I love coming to Kent after school. I learn new things everyday. The counselors are helpful and very nice.

Andrew made it into Stuyvesant. Keep up the good work!

I spent two summers at Kent and couldn't be happier with my experience there. All the teachers were experts and enthusiastic so that classes were interesting and fun. We also took timed practice tests that simulated real testing experience. Apart from the test prep, there are great counselors who are always looking out for us. Throughout the programs they provided us with organized practice tests, classwork, and homework. Everyone could track their progression and see improvements just 1-2 weeks in. Even after the program the counselors stay in touch with the students and help with college essays and school related problems. No doubt Kent is the best prep you'll find.

The teachers/staff are fair and nice, and the people there are getting smarter everyday. I would recommend this place for anyone .

I love learning at Kent Prep. The teachers are very good at teaching us new things. Also the counselors are very helpful and help us with our homework.

A positive review, and why I recommend this school:

Why I recommend this prep school:
- They have full courses for students even during a time like this (COVID-19)
- The teachers are helpful, especially when a student in their class does not know how to execute a specific concept; sometimes the teacher will stop the class for a moment to teach a subject if a student requests for it to be taught.
- The classes are good in-length. There is enough time in each session for the classwork to be complete, including enough time for each pre-test before class.

Note: This is not for lazy students. The programs at KENT are very rigorous, and at least 2x more rigorous in-person compared to online classes (at the time that I am writing this review KENT is currently doing full online sessions for now). The student has to put effort in their homework and classwork, including studying on their own if they are confused on a specific topic. Only by these means the student will get good results and returns from the program.

Would recommend for any parent(s), with a kid who is WILLING and EAGER to improve their skills in subjects like reading comprehension and writing by attending the sessions at Kent.

Coming from a 7 to 8 year student.
Overall, a good experience.

I had recently got into Regis Highschool and kent prep really helped me with this achievement. They helped me with the process of the whole thing and I really am greatful for going there.

If you are a student looking to boost your SAT score, this is definitely the right place for you, but only if you are determined to work hard. The resources provided by the teachers and staff, as well as the practices administered, easily grant you everything you need to understand the inner workings of the test. My personal score increased by 200, nearing that 1600 I wanted rather consistently towards the end of the program.

What I gained out of it, however, is something more than the score. Kent prides itself with a message on how education and how life should be. It has taught me life lessons that I truly won't forget.

Just like in life, you get what you put in. If you reach out to the teachers and staff, participate, study, and help others, the rewards you reap will be monumental. The door to success is open and it's your job to walk through. My Kent experience has given me many beautiful things that I will be thankful for for the rest of my life

I've been going to Kent since I was 8, and this place is amazing. They know how to get you prepped and ready for any test you're going to take and much more. I've studied for State Tests, the SHSAT, and now the SAT's here, and the service and results are fantastic every time. All the teachers, counselors, and staff, in general, are great and put in effort on helping every other student and me in the class. Ms. Joyce and Ms. Sharon are genuinely amazing and were so helpful in guiding me on how to apply for high school and now prepping for college. They are also so kind and are so dedicated to helping me succeed. Honestly, the best prep place there possibly is, and I sincerely recommend anyone to go.

This place.... this place. This place is a training center for super humans. They turn you into demi-Gods. Every penny is worth coming to this institution. Do not waste your money on anything else. I am a college graduate with a Bachelor's in economics, but I could not have achieved that without entering this...house full of extraordinary humans. My first SAT score was 1500, then 1600, then 1800. They not only prepare you for the worst that the standardized aptitude test has to offer, but they also distribute valuable life lessons. But for real, this place is the real deal. They are turning your kids into incredible human beings.

Before coming to Kent Prep, my math scores were decent but my english scores were lacking. I started to notice improvements in both subjects, especially english, right away. Prepping here helped me get a perfect score of 1600 on the SAT.

Sent my son here to get ready for the specialized hs test. Staff treated him great and got his score up so that he could get into Bronx Science. Got a younger one as well and planning on sending him here as well.

Smart people should already realize that all those good reviews are fake. Anyone who has any experience with this place will know how terrible this place is.

I made some important friends there, and there was especially a teacher that was epic and really nice to us. Sorry im writing so late cause it was fourth grade summer when i took kent and now im in sixth grade summer. Also lunch was fantastic and i learned alot beforehand. One thing is the ac is so strong i got a fever...

Great school ever ! Strongly recommend this school !

My child gained a lot of academic confidence through the prep courses at Kent.

Do your research before sending your kids here. Their curriculums are just straight out of books you can buy from Barnes and Noble and some of their "counselors" don't even have a Bach.degress (high school drop outs). They just call themselves a "PREP" school but at the end of the day it's just another hole in the wall after school program to send your kids.

Great counselors and teachers at Kent Prep. They helped my daughter find the best school for her and raise her ACT score to get into it.

Kent Prep gave me something that I could not get anywhere else! I strongly recommend you to attend this school! Although the workload is hard and the curriculum is difficult, all of it is rewarding in the end. I was the top of my class in school thanks to Kent!
