Kaplan Test Prep

Not possible to give negative stars so one will have to suffice, STAY AWAY from these professional scammers. Customer service is abysmal and they will steal your money.

Kaplan cancelled my daughter’s review course 3 days for it was to begin and cited their right to do so in the contract. Last minute I was forced to find a private tutor. Their customer service was indifferent and unprofessional. Beware of Kaplan!

Suuuuuuucccckkkkss. Asked for a got money back.

I studied here about three years ago.
My information might be too old, but here’s my review for this school.
Kaplan language center might be good if you do not really speak English.
I assume many people have studied a little bit of English before they come to the U.S. If you are not confident with your English speaking or listening skill, it might be a good school.
The class is based on learning dialogs in various situations such as taking a public transportation and talking about a business trip.
Class room is filled by people from many different countries, so you don’t have to feel too much pressure to speak out.
(Unfortunately, they are mostly Asians.)
However, classes I have taken at this school are too easy for people who are going to University here in the future.
What I mean by that is their English classes do not meet the college requirements. After I took the highest level of speaking class at Kaplan, I still needed to take ESL classes at my college.
Also, they do not focus on writing skill until you get into their TOEFL preparation class. If you want to improve your reading and writing skill in English as well as speaking and listening skill, I might recommend you to look for something else.
My experience there was pleasant.
However, I would have chosen a different school such as an ESL program at local colleges.
