Command Education Reviews 9

Command played a critical role in my son's successful application process and his acceptance to his first-choice college. His mentor was truly instrumental, consistently going above and beyond our expectations. Over the two years they worked together, they built a relationship based on trust that proved transformational for my son.

For his passion project, his mentor encouraged my son to lean into his visual art and music. Together, they developed a project that authentically reflected his talents, becoming the centerpiece of his application. This process didn't just bolster his application; it built his self-confidence and inspired him to explore a side of his personality he had previously undervalued in favor of academics.

Command’s approach is deeply personal—there is no "one-size-fits-all" strategy here. His mentor truly believed in him, even encouraging him to apply to reach schools that his high school’s counseling office had overlooked.

The team at Command proved to us that they are the best in the industry by pairing my son with an exceptional mentor who shared his academic and creative interests. This partnership relieved the immense anxiety of the college application process for our entire family. Hiring Command was one of the best decisions we’ve made; it was a rewarding journey that led to an exceptional outcome. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

My son has been working with Command Education, Ibrahim for 2 years. He has shown much improvements in academic achievements and extracurricular activities. I recommend Command Education with highest level confidence.

We are absolutely thrilled to share the news of our daughter’s acceptance to an Ivy League university! This remarkable achievement would not have been possible without the guidance and support of Command Education. Their expertise were instrumental in helping her navigate every stage of the college admissions process.

From our very first interaction with Ali, we knew we were in the hands of professionals—experts who understand exactly what it takes to help students reach their dream schools. From shaping her passion project to providing invaluable advice on essays, activity lists, and every detail in between, Command Education offered unwavering support at every step. They kept us on track, provided insightful feedback, and helped our daughter present her best, most authentic self in the application process. There are simply too many amazing things to list about their comprehensive approach and dedication.

Having a professional mentor also took an enormous burden off of us as parents. The college admissions landscape has changed dramatically since we applied to college, and navigating the highly competitive process of getting into a Top 20 school today requires strategy, insight, and experience—all of which Command Education delivers.

Command Education’s dedication to their students’ success is clearly reflected in our daughter’s outcome. Their commitment and comprehensive support exceeded our expectations. We could not be more pleased, and we wholeheartedly recommend Command Education to any family seeking expert guidance through the college admissions process.

Being from outside the US, the American college system felt overwhelming and very different from what we knew but Command made the whole process clear and manageable, step by step. Our daughters mentor helped expose her to opportunities we never even thought were possible and helped her show who she really is in her applications to colleges. The essay writing process was truly flawless too, she felt confident in her writing ability and they even helped her with the interviews. We are so so proud and thankful that she was accepted to MIT! As parents, having someone that we could trust to guide our daughter through this unfamiliar journey was invaluable, and we are truly grateful to Command and their team for this. We highly recommend them and will be using them again for our son when he enters high school!

My son started his mentoring program in 9th grade, and it has been a game changer in keeping him on track without us having to constantly remind/nag him. His mentor provides guidance, motivation and accountability, which has helped him stay focused and reach his goals. We've noticed a big improvement in his time management and overall independence. We couldn't be happier with the experience so far. In addition the executive functioning skills he's learning (like organization and planning) are life skills that will benefit him from well beyond high school.

High price, low effort. The consultants were not particularly bright.

An expensive process that did not pay off. This was nothing more than very expensive babysitting through SAT prep (which we could have done easily w/o Command) and college applications. The initial sales pitch was solely based on how Command would find what they call a hook that would set my kid apart from the rest. This is what sold me. Well, they did not deliver. Command prepped for SAT and was on top of the college application, albeit trying to low ball where to apply, but did nothing more than that. They never found the hook, they certainly did not try very hard, they did not deliver on internships, they did not come up with anything original, they really just helped with SAT prep and college essays. They have a young team of employees, your kid gets paired with one, that person becomes their tutor and that is it, you won't hear from anyone else again. It was disappointing, VERY EXPENSIVE and considering their initial sales pitch, very misleading. I would not recommend them. We did much much better in the past without them. After paying this much we didn't fair better than we would have without them. Save yourself money and just hire a tutor.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding services provided by Gabe and Wafa from Command Education. As a proud parent, I am thrilled to share my positive experience working with this team. Even though it was a significant investment, Gabe played an instrumental role in helping my child secure admission to Yale University.

From the moment we engaged with Command, they both displayed a level of professionalism and expertise that surpassed our expectations. One of the most impressive aspects of our experience was the individualized attention and care provided along with how patient they were with us as parents helping our child navigate this process for the first time.

Thank you again Gabe and Wafa for your support. None of this would have been possible without you!!

We got the sales pitch when we signed up to command education. However, after 13 months of being pretty much setup for failure my parents and I changed companies.
Command Education is not worth the money you will spend. Because they don't teach you anything except try to hammer you into doing workshops. It was a complete waste of my time. We chose Vipcollegeadmissions and they helped my parents and I a lot. We spent less, got more and this fall I am attending Colombia University in NY which was my first choice for my dream college.
