[quote=Anonymous][quote]Believe or not believe, but I believe the owner (retired professor) does not appear to be doing this to make money. He needs to pay rent, many instructors who teach different courses/levels, material and does some charity as well. He is very passionate about education, even does a lot of 1-1 with kids or parents out of his personal time to provide advice and/or guidance. I am sure he makes enough to pay for his living expenses and some, but you don't generally commit so much of your post retirement time to education unless you are really passionate about it. He proudly claims, he taught over 25000 kids over his 40 year teaching career - I have attended his info/orientation sessions. [/quote]

This made me laugh. Of course he is making money. There is no way he is not making money. He is charging $4,300 per kid for this one prep practice. How many kids are taking this course? Let's say that it averages 2 days over the course of the entire program. So he is paying Instructors/Tutors for maybe 5-8 hours of work a week for the one class. I doubt that the rent in that high. Dude has 5 locations running programs. There is no way that he is not making a nice amount of money.
