I have no words to describe how much Dia Gerontoudi Prep Center helped me on my trip through the TOEFL, GRE, and university application processes. I will always be grateful to the staff for their genuine concern for my success, which went beyond simply helping me academically.

Thomas Kalandranis was more than simply a teacher from the start; he was also a mentor, a counselor, and occasionally a source of inspiration when things seemed too much to handle. Alongside him, Mrs. Gerontoudi was also a true mentor, constantly providing guidance, tolerance, and support. In addition to helping me get ready for the TOEFL and my college applications, Thomas Kalandranis pushed me to be my best self because he believed in me. His patience, dedication, and deep understanding of the process made all the difference; I truly wouldn’t have made it without him.

Dia Gerontoudi was a pillar of support throughout my GRE preparation and a mentor who guided me with the same dedication and belief that Thomas Kalandranis did. She didn’t just teach me how to tackle the English section—she made me feel capable and confident. Her warmth, kindness, and unwavering belief in me made an incredible impact. There were moments when I doubted myself, but she was always there, reminding me of my strengths and encouraging me to push forward. Her guidance went beyond just test prep; she made learning enjoyable and gave me the confidence to trust my abilities.

Mr. Karalis was a lifesaver when it came to the quantitative section of the GRE. His structured approach and ability to break down even the most complicated problems made everything so much clearer. Thanks to him, I was able to approach the exam with confidence and perform far better than I initially thought possible.

I owe so much to Dia Gerontoudi Prep Center and the incredible people who work there. They didn’t just prepare me for exams – they helped shape my future. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for not just top-tier preparation, but also genuine support and encouragement along the way.
