Hamilton Education

We've known Mr. Hamilton for over ten years. Both of our kids got help from him. Both went to the very TOP schools.
Mr. Hamilton is very knowledgeable in college application process. You can ask him all sorts of questions and he will give you his candid answers.
He cares for students, and he wants to help as many as possible to go to their dream schools. He has recommended students to take SAT/ACT, which is a must if you want to go to top schools. So, listen to him.
One of the most important parts of college application is essay writing. A good essay demonstrates what kind of student to the admission officers. Mr. Hamilton for sure will guide your students to write the best essays.
I highly recommend you work with him.

I was referred to Mr. Hamilton from one of his past clients who spoke very highly of him and his writing services. Over the course of my application process, Mr. Hamilton worked closely with me to refine my personal statement essay, transforming a rough draft into a polished narrative that stood out to admissions committees. Mr. Hamilton's expertise in crafting an impactful application cannot be overstated and I am beyond thankful to have benefited from his services that have made me a better student, applicant, and writer.

I truly believe that anyone applying for higher education should use Hamilton Education. Mr. Hamilton's experience, expertise, and personalized approach will make all the difference in your application and open opportunities at prestigious programs.

“Hamilton Education” college prep program is truly exceptional. My son attended their program last summer and fall, and the results were outstanding. Their program teaches critical thinking, problem-solving, time management, test-taking strategies and confidence-building techniques. What students learn there is not just about strong SAT/ACT scores, but gaining essential skills that set them up for college success. Shout out to Mr. Hamilton and his amazing and dedicated staff who make college test prep journey super comprehensive, effective and fun! Strongly vouch for this school and programs that they offer.

I cannot recommend Hamilton Education enough for SAT preparation! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, providing personalized guidance every step of the way. Their comprehensive curriculum and targeted strategies helped me not only improve my scores but also gain confidence in tackling the exam. The small class sizes fostered a collaborative learning environment, and the resources available were invaluable,well-prepared and achieved results beyond my expectations. If you're looking for top-notch SAT prep, look no further!

We have been fortunate enough to know Mr. Hamilton since 2012 as we sent four children through his SAT prep classes and benefited greatly.

First, our son enrolled in the SAT summer class and we can honestly say his life was changed forever as a result. Mr. Hamilton and his team were able to identify gaps in his grammar and provided the necessary support making him not only a much stronger writer, but also a skilled problem solver and test taker, resulting in a perfect score on the SAT. Our son went on to work with Mr. Hamilton on his college applications and earned early admission to Stanford University where he obtained a CS degree.

We returned to Hamilton Education with our next 3 children resulting in perfect and near perfect scores on the SAT and attendance at Stanford (Mathematical & Computational Science B.S., CS M.S.), UC Berkeley (Global Studies B.A. and Spanish & Portuguese B.A.) and Carnegie Mellon (Mechanical Engineering B.S. in process). Based on our experience, high SAT and AP scores equate to better college options and significant financial aid offers. In the end, the scholarships all our children obtained more than covered the cost of the Hamilton Education test prep classes and college admissions guidance.

Mr. Hamilton cares deeply for students and works extremely hard to meet their goals. He sets high standards and expects students to work hard and do their absolute best. His deep knowledge of the admission process at highly competitive universities helped our children prepare applications that combined personal interests, achievements, test scores, & grades yielding life-changing opportunities.

Thank you Mr Hamilton for all the patience, support, and caring guidance you gave our children the past 12 years. We hope many other students will have the privilege of knowing and working with you as well!

My experience at Hamilton Education was instrumental in achieving a perfect score on the ACT. Despite many schools adopting test-blind policies, excelling in standardized tests has provided lasting benefits throughout college, from getting into USC to winning scholarships and opening doors to internships. Chris Hamilton and the entire team were supportive throughout the process, and their curriculum was invaluable in preparing for the ACT/SAT. I highly recommend Hamilton to anyone seeking to excel in standardized testing!

As a parent always looking for ways to provide my children with a competitive advantage for higher education, I searched for ways to increase the possibilities of getting into quality schools. My search found Chris Hamilton and his team. Through his expertise and teaching methods, both of my children increased their knowledge as well as their SAT and AP Scores and attended the Colleges of their choosing. My son was able to get accepted to multiple Ivy League schools and graduated with an Engineering Degree from Columbia University. My daughter chose to stay on the west coast and graduated with a Sociology and Business Degree from Loyola Marymount University. I highly recommend Chris Hamilton, his test preparation, tutoring and college consulting.

Mr. Hamilton is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I am constantly amazed by his ability to speak to kids like a kid, but with a respect for their experiences, abilities, and perspectives that are so often overlooked. At the time I was applying to college I had never had a teacher who wanted to hear my opinions about the articles I was reading or how I was experiencing world around me. Mr. Hamilton not only listened to me but also taught me about the “third act” — a magical place where my thoughts and feelings could evolve into actions. His guidance was instrumental to my Harvard acceptance and undergraduate experience. Years later, I knew I could count on his advice when I started grad school at Harvard and Stanford. He is still a trusted friend and mentor, and I believe any student that works with him is incredibly lucky.

Hamilton's education is truly exceptional, and it has proven to be a stepping stone to success for my family. Both my son and daughter participated in the winter intensive during their tenth grade, yielding impressive results. With standardized tests behind them, they can channel their focus into challenging AP classes and engaging extracurricular activities. I'm pleased to share that as a result of Hamilton's quality education, both of them have secured spots in the universities of their dreams. I highly recommend Hamilton for its outstanding academic support and results.

Chris and his team are truly best in class. Both my kids went through Hamilton Education and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t blown away by their college admissions results. My oldest got a 2370 on his SAT (back when it was out of 2400) and was accepted into Columbia with their most prestigious merit-based scholarship (Egleston) while my youngest got a 36 on her ACT and was accepted into UCSD with a full ride along with their most prestigious merit-based scholarship (Jacobs). I cannot recommend Hamilton’s programs enough. His results speak for themselves.

I highly recommend Hamilton Education as a vital support to help navigate the college application process. Their coaching service helped both our daughters build an effective college application strategy and tell their own personal story that made them really stand out from thousands of applicants. Our eldest daughter is attending Boston University in her second year and thriving on a pre-law track. Our youngest daughter, is a freshman at UCLA planning to minor in film and major in communications. She was accepted to 14 really good colleges and UCLA was always her dream school. Thank you Hamilton Education!

Chris and the outstanding staff at Hamilton Education helped my daughter craft an essay that landed acceptances from 5 top 25 National Universities in the regular decision process. She chose Johns Hopkins, which has an admit rate of less than 10%. Gaining admission to these elite schools as a non-diversity, non-athlete is way, way more difficult than these numbers suggest. Without a strategy and careful attention to every aspect of the application and the process, positive results are highly unlikely. Don't be fooled into thinking that grades and nearly perfect scores are enough. Hire these guys.

Hamilton Education helped me score a 2400 on the SAT. The teachers taught me more than just SAT test skills; they helped me develop English, math, and writing skills that helped me succeed in my classes for the rest of high school and college. I enjoyed being in classes at Hamilton and appreciated the individual attention and support from the teachers. I would recommend Hamilton Education for anyone looking for testing and tutoring help.

Hamilton Education transformed the lives of our four children. Each one of them was extremely happy with their college prep work and where they eventually landed. Mr. Hamilton is unique in emphasizing the narrative aspect of a student's journey and how higher education fits within that paradigm. The entire team adopts a bespoke approach valuing not just great writing but originality and creativity. While typically a high stress event, Mr. Hamilton deftly defuses the tension to interject some fun and even humor into the experience.

Absolutely fantastic SAT/ACT help and guidance on college admissions. Mr. Hamilton is incredibly thoughtful and helps you hone your story. Their SAT/ACT program is very modular and customizable, helping students measurably improve their scores.

Somewhat ironically, as a filmmaker, it was Hamilton education that helped me tell my story.
To start this off, the most important thing about my time with Hamilton are the results. Their passionate and experienced guidance saved my ACT score, and ultimately I got into NYU’s film school with a full ride. This team is able to recognize and help resolve the parts of an application/ the manner of an essay, and the mindset needed with standardized tests. If it wasn’t for this program and Mr. Hamilton, I highly doubt I would have gotten the scholarship, let alone be accepted into 15/18 schools I applied to.
I have no hesitation in saying this is the best there is, and if you are willing to put the effort in, they will help you achieve whatever it is you dream of.

Hamilton Education was instrumental to my SAT/ACT/PSAT success and the instructors were wonderful! I felt very prepared for all aspects of the exams and the program provided great practice and structure.

Our daughter enrolled in the Hamilton H3 summer course (which extended into early fall ) in the summer between her sophomore and junior year. The structure of the program along with the instructors and course materials provided were just the perfect combination for preparing her for a successful outcome. After she completed the summer portion of the program, she took the ACT in September followed by PSAT in November of her junior year.
She scored a perfect 36/36 on her first attempt of ACT. She also attained a high PSAT score that qualified her for National Merit which she earned the finalist status and received corporate sponsorship for a sizable scholarship.
Our daughter is hardworking and highly motivated to do well. Hamilton H3 program provided her the right tools and structure to achieve her perfect score! Thank you to all of the staff and instructors!!!

Hamilton has a caring set of staff that supported me towards a perfect ACT score and an ivy league college admission. They always put their best foot forward, and Mr. Hamilton is an extremely smart man who will work tirelessly to help you meet your goals.

Chris is a great educator and mentor. He helped 4 of our kids get into their dream schools. We used him for both SAT prep and essays. College admission takes a lot of planning and it’s best if Chris can see the kids before 9th grade so he can work with each child early on. It’s not just a matter of making them score high on their tests, they should plan their activities so this can be reflected in their essays.
