Julia Ross Professional Tutoring

I am going to try and do another review… for some reason Unilocal took down my review… I don’t know why? Unilocal holds companies hostage if you don’t buy there service. Julia Ross tutoring helped me with my niece trying to get early admissions to JMU and helped with scholarships. Julia is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all aspects of college admissions. Let’s see if this review stays up or Unilocal decides what reviews they like.

Watch out !!!
Based on our discussions, we were promised a small group for tutoring. We expected less than 6 in the class. Ended up with a «small group» of 20+. No real individual tutoring here. Little to no rapport with students.
Our child is an excellent student, we just wanted her to get prepped to take the SAT to increase scores to get the attention of UVA, W&M, etc. Unfortunately, Ms. Ross constantly pushed schools like Lynchburg College or Roanoke College to her students. Give me a break! Why would you take a SAT prep class if your desire is to attend these?
Be warned!

Horrible!!! Julia promised us much and delivered little. We gave her $ 2500 to be given terrible advice that likely caused our son not to get a scholarship to the school that he had always wanted to attend. When I dared withhold the last few hundred and explained exactly why. She waited a year and ½ with no word and then she sued us for double the contract price. It was not enough that she received thousands of our dollars for a service that she did not completely perform she needed her pound of flesh. If you want your child to go to Olé Miss or Alabama go see her and she will help you get in otherwise stay away. Those are the only two schools that she pushes. Surprise surprise her daughter goes to Olé Miss. –5 stars for this company. Ignore this review at your own risk.

This woman gave my son and I amazing advice for apllying AND getting accepted into a great college!
My son did not have a 4.0 — nor had he cured cancer like so many northern Virginian kids. We had sent out about 7 college applications –and heard nothing. We were getting worried. Julia met my son — talked with him about his basic interests — assessed his needs and personality and then recommended a handful of colleges for us to apply to. I bought her book and that really helped too. After reading the book — I called her and asked for some basic questions. She is totally knowledgeable and has great insight on so many different universities. We followed her advice — got accepted within two weeks AND even got offered financial aid from the college! Bonus! This woman is really gifted — and since she herself is a mother — she understands first hand the anxiety and pressure that this whole adventure brings to the student and parents!
