Versan Educational Services - Kingston

Petrina Collins

I cannot endorse the educational services provided by Versan. In 2016 I sought their assistance for the PSAT examination with aspirations of attending an American boarding school, however, the lack of valuable resources and inefficacious teaching methodologies were overshadowed by the unprofessional conduct of Sandra Bramwell. Ms. Bramwell's behavior proved to be not only disconcerting but also egregiously inappropriate, as she decided to disseminate derogatory and baseless remarks about my character to my friend at the time and her mother. Her disparaging comments, specifically labeling me a "buttu," demonstrated a flagrant lack of professionalism. I find it disconcerting that an educator, entrusted with the academic and personal development of students, would engage in such classist behavior and unmerited judgment. For those contemplating educational choices for their children, I caution against involvement with Ms. Sandra Bramwell and, by extension, Versan. The propagation of unprofessional behavior and the dissemination of groundless rumors have no place in an educational setting that demands trust, respect, and a commitment to student well-being. Ms. Bramwell if you ever come across this I want you to know that despite your lack of belief in me and my academic pursuits, I recently graduated from Howard University summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA and I am currently a first year law student at Georgetown Law on a full tuition scholarship after turning down several top law schools. I sincerely hope that you have evolved from your behavior and recognize the profound impact educators can have on the lives of their students.

I was first introduced to versan by a family friend who praised versan for getting her child into her top choice school years ago. Although, this used to be the quality of performances versan produced I don’t believe that is the case now. I recommend you ask your college consultant about the results of their local students this year to understand what I’m talking about. When it came to reviewing my essays, the college consultant/owner of versan gave me little to no correction (only pointing out minor grammar mistakes). At first, I thought I was just doing a great job but then I saw how my peers who went to other college counseling agencies had to write multiple drafts of their common app and supplemental essays before they were sent.The college application process has become more competitive than it was 10, 20 years ago and I think versan has been using a strategy that worked back then but fails now. Throughout the entire process I felt so alone and lacked the guidance I truly needed. If I was confused about something pertaining to my application and texted my college consultant she often took hours to respond. The worse part is her response would be a phrase/sentence.I felt more like a nuisance than a client to her. The evidence of the little guidance I was given was evident in my results. I was accepted by 1 out of the 12 schools she recommended to me. I must admit the school is decent ( it has a 30 something acceptance rate) but I got a very small scholarship that would force my parents to pay an exorbitant amount for my tuition. I would never recommend versan to anyone looking to score big scholarships from top institutions.They failed to put the effort and care into something as important as my future.I’m writing this review because I wished someone told me this before I chose versan.

An excellent place to figure out which college you is best for you and to prepare you for the SATs.
