SOSolomon Admissions Consulting★★★★★
The best counseling you can find
We signed up our son in his freshman year in high school. The results were fantastic. Now as a senior, he was accepted last month to his first choice school, Columbia, as part of the ED (early decision) selection process. Cathleen Sheils is one of the best counselors in the country. Her insights and intuition on how students can build their profile throughout high school is exceptional. Most importantly, she invested the time and put in the work to help our son discover his interests and passions throughout high school and helped him connect the dots looking backwards so that his journey came together looking forward.

CHCHINA CULTURE TOURS★★★★★
Nora and China Culture Tours gave us an amazing vacation.
Just returned yesterday from a 7-day trip to China with my family (wife and kids (8 and 10 years old). Nora from China Culture Tours is absolutely the best. She is incredibly responsive and put a perfect itinerary for us. We travel all over the world and have worked with travel groups every where. I have to say that Nora and her team are the best we've ever had.
We did a private tour that entailed 3 nights in Beijing, 2 nights in Xi'an and 2 nights in Shanghai. The trip was perfect and the kids had a blast. Everything happened (everyone driver and guide was punctual) as planned and we were always taken care of. No hassle. No fuss.
In Beijing, our guide Olivia was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend you ask for her. She won the hearts of our kids and exuded so much joy. Speaking of Joy, we had a wonderful time with our guide Joy in Xi'an who was a local and knew so much about the local history and culture. Our last guide was Bright in Shanghai and she too was best in class.
Our guides spoke great English and were smart about planning. Olivia got us to the Great Wall of China in Beijing before the rush so we had sections of the wall all to ourselves. Joy got us to the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an right when they opened, so we were the first ones to visit Building 1 and had basically the entire place to ourselves.
Bright was able to accommodate our son's passion for ancient coins and managed to alter our itinerary on the fly to make it happen.
Overall, we had an amazing trip.
