Growing Minds was a great experience for both of my high school kids
She understood my son's needs and continued to provide both of us with much-needed direction.
The team and growing minds saw my son as more than grades and test scores.
Milly, Gina, and all the tutors at Growing Minds possess a rare blend of mastery in their fields and a genuine passion for nurturing students' potential.
Growing Minds has made life easier for my family! The staff makes us feel like family. We realize there is an enormous amount of students at Growing Minds, but we feel like a priority with every detail and experience we go through! Thank you for helping us in every aspect of school and especially College applications!
Growing Minds made my application process as easy as possible. The process comes with a lot of doubts and uncertainties but each and every individual at Growing Minds made me confident by helping me through each and every step.
As a parent, the stress of making sure my son got into the college of his dreams and making sure that he systematically did the necessary work to achieve success was overwhelming.
Milly, Gina and their team have been indispensable for the past 3-1/2yrs! Not only did they guide us through the daunting college application process, but they helped our twins get accepted into almost all of their top choices.
Growing Minds is the BEST!!! Not only do they have a stellar team/family at GM but they are extremely knowledgeable, resourceful, and on the polls when it comes to preparing your teen for college.
As an academic with years of experience in the fields of education and psychology, I can honestly say that there is no one I trust more with the scaffolding of my kids' education than Growing Minds.
There is just no other College Guidance place like Growing Minds, period. The whole team at the office is just amazing and they make you feel like family. Gina guided us through the college process with great ease, knowledge and advise and resulted in admission into the top universities in the country, including Ivies. I cannot recommend their services highly enough as they are the number one at what they do!!

High school can throw a person many ups and downs over the course of four years. I am thankful to the counselors at Growing Minds who have listened and have provided insight to help my son navigate through the academic demands and all the decisions he has to make for college. They have invested so much time and I appreciate and thank them for their time and care. My son will be graduating high school soon and I can see what a positive role the counselors and staff have made in his life. I hope my son will carry all the suggestions and advice with him for years to come.

Our son has been working with Gina and Milly for three years. Through their thoughtful insight, tailored approach, and unwavering dedication, they have significantly altered his academic trajectory. He has not only begun excelling in his coursework, but has also gained confidence that colors his world even beyond the classroom. We are forever grateful for Growing Minds’ transforming our son’s life.

To say our son was anxious about getting into a good college doesn’t really describe his stressed out mind set. After we walked out of our fist meeting with Gina, he turned to me with a big smile and said “Looks like I am going to college”. He applied to 15 schools and got into 12 of them. All 12 offered him merit scholarships and he was not a straight A student. Every session with Gina, boosted my son’s confidence. She was funny, passionate and patient, everything you need in a college counselor.

Milly, Gina and Bob are amazing. Bob is such a great tutor, he is so knowledgeable and patient. I highly recommend his tutoring services. Gina and Milly are the best college counselors ever. They really help you with every detail when it comes to applying to schools. They are very hands on and always make sure you are doing everything you need to do for the application process. Gina literally walks me through every step of my Law School applications and she checked-in with me all the time, alleviating my anxiety at every turn. Thank you Growing Minds!!!

I’m a transfer student and I got into my dream school today. I really could not have done it without Milly and Growing Minds. They made the application process way less stressful and much easier. Milly was always there for me and I know she cares a lot about my successes. I can’t thank you guys enough for everything you’ve done for me.

There is simply no rating that could define my experience with Growing Minds and the incredible team that Milly and Gina put together. Whether it is for one on one tutoring, standardized test prep, or academic counseling, their staff such as Jerico, Rina, Daniel, and Bob are simply the best for inspiring students to work hard at achieving their educational goals. Both my sister and I came to Milly from a referral from a friend, and we were amazed. The staff makes it a joy to learn and to enrich your education. There is not enough praise that I could give Growing Minds. When you need them the most, the whole team is there to support their students, even amidst this COVID-19 crisis. It is entirely because of Milly and her excellent staff’s guidance that I was able to get into all of the universities that I dreamed of, and I am sure that they will be able to yield those same results for any of their clientele who are willing to take their advice and instruction to heart! Make the best decision for yourself and your family and go to Growing Minds. They will go above and beyond the expectations that I already set!

By far the best tutoring and prep service in Los Angeles. The drive may be far, but it’s definitely worth it! Beyond excellent in writing college applications.

When my son and I first met with Milly Roseman at Growing Minds, he was a mediocre, underperforming student at Santa Monica College, with no direction and really no prospects for getting into a decent 4 year college. After Milly took him under her wing, he graduated from Chapman University with a 3.72 GPA, he has had two papers published in scholarly publications and one of his class projects was included in Google Scholar. Best of all, Milly ignited his ambition and thirst for knowledge. He recently applied to several Master’s programs, and so far he has been accepted to one of his top choices. Milly has been a tireless advocate and cheerleader for my son. Her in-depth knowledge of the university application process, as well as her broad and extensive knowledge of the individual universities themselves is astounding. We live in west Los Angeles and we would have happily driven three times the distance to meet with Milly.
