Reviews for Life Skills Training in Washington, D.C.

Life Skills Training in Washington, D.C. are rated 4.8 stars based on 39 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • Great class. Learned a lot. David was a great instructor and a lot of fun.
  • Loved the NGA tour! Our guides Brook and Caroline were the best at making women in art come alive! Thank you for an awesome tour!
  • Plant Nite was well organized and the host, Alexa, was wonderful and really helpful. She introduced everyone and set a great tone for the Rest of the night. It was a really good group of people, and we actually ended up making friends with some of the other people who came separately. It was a relaxing evening and I would definitely recommend it.
  • Wonderful fun! Thanks for a great and relaxing night.
  • The class was well organized and ran smoothly. The instructor was GREAT and my friends and I had an amazing time.
  • It was a lot of fun. Loved our facilitator.
  • Lauren did a great job teaching the class. We had a problem finding the location in the building. The restaurant where the course was held was too loud. But other than those two complaints, it was an educating and enjoyable class. Fun date night activity!
  • Fun and educational. Suburb tour guide. Really enjoyed his inter-active activities and certainly learned a lot.
  • Loved our tour guide, Caroline! She made everything interesting and certainly kept my attention!
  • GMAT

    Jeff Glazer and Griffon Prep are the absolute best. My GMAT score went up 150 points after two months of tutoring, and that's largely due to Jeff, a fantastic teacher in absolutely every respect -- not to mention an all-around good guy. Don't waste your time with the big companies, because Griffon is where it's at.
  • GMAT

    Long and short - Griffon Prep is worth every penny. After 6 months of GMAT prep with one of the big box prep companies, my practice tests had plateaued and I was looking for a tutor to help me reach my goal score. Working with Jeff, I was able to raise my score 120 pts. Not only did I hit my goal score, I surpassed it and got a score that I hadn't previously thought was possible. I am confident that without the help of Jeff and the Griffon Prep team, I wouldn't have met my goal. Jeff is a fantastic teacher. He's able to make you understand not only the content of the test, but how to study and attack questions. His tips and tidbits proved invaluable on test day. He really helped me "see" the test - it's traps, quirks, hints, and nuances - in a way that the big box company did not. On test day I knew I had prepared with the best, which was a tremendous boost to my confidence. I would highly recommend Griffon prep to anyone who is serious about their test prep.
  • GMAT

    I am writing moments after having taking the GMAT. I ended with a 740, which represents a 100 point increase from the first practice test I took. Your class clearly paid off. Couldn't have done it without Jeff's and Paul's guidance.
  • GRE

    I just finished a GRE course and found the information to be very helpful. The staff was very knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to assist. Chris Yi and Tyler were awesome teachers, and Bernie was always upbeat and helpful. Jeff was great in tutoring. All were very accomodating. Overall, great experience and value. My score went up 70 points.
  • GRE

    I recently took Griffon's GRE prep course. I'd taken the test before and my scores were abysmal - I was in the 11th percentile in math and my score for the writing section was consistent with English not being my first language. After Griffon, I scored in the 60th and 95th percentiles in quant/verbal, respectively (which were the targets for my program type). Sure, I did some work to get there, and for me the structure of a class was a big help, but let's be real: Griffon helped me get there.
  • GRE

    I am a perspicacious test taker now compared to my diffident previous self. I took the GRE last week and I know the 7 point increase in reading and 9 points in math are from your fervent teaching.
  • it was hands on, and very informative
  • Caroline was a wonderful guide. I had so much fun and was able to engage with the art in a meaningful and exciting way. I would absolutely recommend this tour!
  • Intro to Healing Touch

    What a great introduction to Freed Bodyworks and Healing Touch! Renata was a great instructor and I met some incredible people in the workshop... Course Horse made it so easy to find and sign up.
  • Such a great way to learn the sport, get intense exercise, and just have fun! I can't wait to come back!
